I love that PS’s statement basically says my entire life has been a lie and I have lied to everyone about everything but what I did wasn’t illegal. So we’ve to believe what he’s saying now? Who’s to say whether it was or wasn’t legal at this point when the only info we seem to have to go on is from someone who’s just admitted to lying about absolutely everything!

There are persistent rumours about two national 'treasures' one straight and one gay in their dotage that never seem to go away, but the press never crosses that line that Schofield seems to have crossed.

I know who the gay one is. Any chance of a clue about the straight one please?

If Eamon had really felt so outraged he would have left ITV, not carried on until he was fired.

He was a well known journalist, he would have got work somewhere else, in fact he went to Sky for eleven years after he left ITV, and now he has sunk to the depths of being on GB news.

I don’t think those who are speaking out now are brave, they’re doing damage limitation themselves. They don’t want to be seen to have been in the know when they were all along.

It’s not brave to suddenly step up and say “I knew all along” when it becomes public knowledge. Brave is to speak out and stand by your principles. And none of the people speaking out now did that when it mattered.

Eamonn is a horrible specimen. I have never forgotten the awful way he interviewed a mother and fatherwhose baby had died in hospital. He was awful with them. Not one ounce of genuine sympathy and actually tried to make them look like they were lying. The way he spoke about Phillip and holly on GB news was gross. He was practically crowing

Even his agent doesn't want him - there's more to come.

My thoughts exactly, when you get dropped by your agent it's the end. They know you won't be getting any more work and they also do not want to be tainted by association. This happened to the odious Laurence Fox

I agree. I've reported my own post and asked for it to be removed.

Thanks Letsallthinkofaname! That's good of you.

Agree that Eamonn is horrible. Can’t stand him

Part of me agrees and I think that’s true about a lot of them but I do think people like Ruth have made it clear for a long time how she feels. It seems that if there’s been a superinjunction against this whole topic these people have had their hands tied and other than make it publicly known that they don’t like him, there wasn’t much they could actually say. She may have felt she shouldn’t have to give up her job for the sake of someone else’s wrongdoing.

There will 100% be a lot of people working there though who will have seen this all happen and just hoped it would never come to light to reflect badly on them as they probably saw at the time that anyone who spoke out against it got fired!

Dan Wootton on Twitter is naming Carolyn McCall!

We were told if women got into positions of power that things would be better. It's just a female psychopath instead of a male one in reality.

Sorry, why are they naming her?

Superdupes · 26/05/2023 22:01

PS is a complete and utter narcissist. His whole life is a sham, everything is done to look good, he lies more easily than he tells the truth, it's so typical of a narcissist.

As I said above I was only mentioning the names that keep being bandied about online in these contexts. I have no evidence either party is involved with any offences of any nature.

Bullshit. Dropping little hints “there are rumours about (hint hint) a gay one and a straight one (nudge nudge) is nothing short of stirring and you’re loving it.

It’s not big and it’s not clever.

To be fair, @Letsallthinkofaname has reported her post and asked for it to be deleted.

Letsallthinkofaname · 26/05/2023 22:05

Yours also welcome to report it as well, I don't know how late MNHQ work

BeverForget · 26/05/2023 22:05

It is going to be a very short drop from 'beloved national treasure' to 'panto in Letchworth with Dean Gaffney'...

Also PS’ statement the other week naming HW and MF was a clear threat for them not to go against him so they obviously agreed to leave it to Thursday after the show was finished so he couldn’t do anything. He’s referred to MM in his latest random statement saying he’s done this to protect him 🤷🏼‍♀️ Again, another bizarre threat as if he’s so caring and he should do the same, which would lead you to believe he’s got wind of them having a story from MM and he’s basically begging him not to print it. He’s finished though and has no control over any of these people anymore. I think those two statements and the tone of them tell you everything about him as a person. It was also pointed out on gogglebox about how he called HW his ‘rock’ in the first odd statement but when he ‘quit’ she wasn’t even mentioned in what he said at all! Highlighting how false the first one was

Off topic but I love your username.

I don’t get how ITV are saying he has lied. It’s been well known for years what he was up to. To me, they’ve just turned a blind eye.

Posypointshoes · 26/05/2023 22:11

@BeverForget er somehow I don’t think parents are going to want to watch him in panto somehow…
