Particularly as Charlotte Johnson Wahl (Boris' mother) said:
“I want the truth told,” she said about Stanley’s violence, which was witnessed by Boris. “He hit me many times, over many years.” Early on he resented her seeing her friends “and that’s when he first hit me”. Later, she was deposited in the country, without a car. “To adultery and violence, his family could add deserter.”
So I think reporting his friends said he'd only hit her once might have been tempered with a "Ms Wahl said.... " rather than the "fairness" of falling on the side of the father of the ex-PM
was the comment from the charity which resonated, covering her departure in the Guardian today.
