I think everyone should look at everything they read whether on here, twitter or Facebook with their eyes wide open, there may be those with their own agendas, those who are working for others and those who want the truth and those who don't. I keep in mind everything could be manipulated, incorrect or the truth.
Three sides to every story - yours, theirs, the truth.
And everyone can have a different take on the truth.
And everyone can put their own spin on the truth.
That's why only proof will do.
Photos of Phil and Mathew sitting opposite each other having a drink do not prove grooming or under age sexual relationship.
The photo of Mathew, Phil and the young lady proves nothing either. For all we know the photographer could have told Mathew to move in a bit closer so he could get them all in shot.
We can't really draw any conclusions with those pics.
In that photo of a very young Mathew next to Simon Schofield, however, there may be something to read into that, M'lud.
Your Honour, may I suggest we look closely at where Mathew's right hand appears to be placed in that photo?
It appears, does it not, to be resting on Simon's leg.
An indication of intimacy perhaps?
Also the adoring look Mathew is giving Simon may be suggestive of affection - but we don't know that.
And an affectionate gaze doesn't mean anything sexual was going on.
Stage- school type kids adore their drama/music teachers/mentors. Doesn't mean they have a sexual thing going with them.
Facial expressions can change within a nano second and a camera taking a rapid succession of shots of the two of them sitting closely together could present a selection of very different images.
Regarding matty lopez - on his Twitter, he says he has a meeting this week with someone in Parliament.
So let's see if that's true...... And what comes of it.
