There's often posts on GN of posters feeling something isoffabout certain people before more sinister stuff is even known or broadcast. Call it instinct or a sixth sense, but it's definitely there in many of us.
I agree that Starmer was misguided and not very discerning in this case. You could see he was very angry and upset, and I for once saw some true emotion, assuming it was genuine. It showed me he does actually have a soul, iygwim.
The question is, however, was he furious because his foresight had been made to look stupid, as surely he must have had his suspicions? It's no good blaming anyone else if you ignore your own hunches, and as a barrister, I assume he must have been trained to spot the worst in bad people.
Surely he doesn't believe everything someone tells him without thinking very hard about it and requesting absolute evidence? It isn't the first time either.
