Sarah Phillimore has reported the NSPCC to the charities commission, as they refused to confirm that either the allegations made about wanking@work are false or that they are investigating matter.

As she says, this is another Oxfam or Kids Company waiting to happen. Thank you Sarah for devoting your expertise to this.

Great work Spero :)

Good news!

Rollonfriday has run a few new stories with a gender critical slant. Hurrah for rof cynicism!

Nice work there Spero !

HorridHenrysNits · 23/06/2019 21:15

Fantastic!

Wow. Last bit is interesting. Looks like the CC might just get it

"After the barrister referred her complaint to the Charity Commission on Friday, a spokesman for the regulator told RollOnFriday, “Concerns have been raised with us about NSPCC’s handling of a safeguarding matter involving a member of staff". He confirmed they had "contacted the charity to assess its response to this incident".

"The public rightly expect charities to be safe environments for all who come into contact with them”, he added."

They've actually included your 'toilet at work' quote, although the article only previously mentioned the 'travelodge wanking on a work trip' footage.

Excellent.

If you remember from the John Hemming stuff once one paper picked it up the rest followed pretty quickly, once it's in the public domain other papers might not be as reticent to hold back on reporting on it.

Lazy journalism has its plus points at times.

Alan Selby has had a word with the subs and my quote is apparently now restored in the online edition at least. Without it, the story makes little sense.

Well done to the Sunday Mirror. I am still baffled as to why no other paper will touch it.

Lordamighty · 23/06/2019 09:28

Well it may be sanitised but I am cheering for the Sunday Mirror. At last someone has been brave enough to print this story.

AnyOldPrion · 23/06/2019 07:20

Sleight of hand there. He did wear his gimp suit to work, but (perhaps) only relieved himself back in the hotel.

Still, wearing fetish gear to work is something normally only done by out AGPs.

“Just chilling out in rubber in a Travelodge whilst on a work trip. Had a w* whilst watching some poen [sic].”

That quote isn't the original one where he talked about pissing and wanking at work. In rubber of course.

Clearly The Mirror is treading carefully here. I'm guessing the NSPCC is making noises about legal action if The Mirror references NSPCC premises.

So The Mirror is now talking about another incident with this guy instead. One which doesn't reference NSPCC premises.

Did I mention NSPCC premises?

truthisarevolutionaryact · 22/06/2019 22:46

I think the key phrase is "while on a work trip".
It's reassuring to hear that the NSPCC have suspended him. It did feel as if we were in a parallel universe where behaviour that would get any other employee sacked from every workplace in the country appeared to be being sanctioned by the NSPCC. Evidently they have remembered that they're meant to be a child safeguarding charity.

Spero · 22/06/2019 22:34

Disappointingly neutered piece in the Sunday Mirror but at least it confirms the NSPCC are undertaking an internal investigation. However now claimed the videos filmed in a Travelodge?

Another long standing FWRer adding to the thanks + pledging support Spero.

Would freedom of information requests be of any use to this investigation? Do the statutory powers confer an obligation to respond to FOI?

Thanks AF Flowers

While you're here Spero (and apologies if I have the wrong person!) I seem to recall that you set up a really good website about family law which lots.of useful advice - can you (or anyone else) link it for me?

CodenameVillanelle · 18/06/2019 19:58

Penguin I love seeing your name pop up on here! It's Eric in disguise. I name change a lot because I keep getting reported when I hang about too long in one name Hmm

PenguindreamsofDraco · 18/06/2019 19:56

Blimey you've come a long way since City Wink! Will definitely chip in when you start the crowd funder, brave woman.

AnyFucker · 18/06/2019 19:40

Arf

Spero · 18/06/2019 19:28

I've really INVESTED in this deception to be sure

BWHAHAHAHAH Gotcha!

Sorry. know its no laughing matter. But I have been outed by bloody John Hemming in the Daily Mail. I don't think there is anything else I can do to prove my bona fides.
