I don't have twitter and haven't seen any theories as to who it is, I'm presuming a man due to the figure outline being used in the press:

This thread is a disgrace.

Those of you throwing around defamatory insults thinking you’re able to do that because you’re oh so anonymous, you do know that mn could be forced to give your contact details if the subjects of your allegations decided to take legal action against you?

CP was on radio 4 this morning - he is well known autistic
stop casting aspersions

Not Paddington 😭

You have to look at the facts @UnRavellingFast
illegal immigrant
worms his way into a family home
creates mayhem in plain sight all the time but plays 'cute me, forgive me'
wears a duffel coat
has been in prison
Has friends in high places - HRH E2nd...

You couldn't make it up.

Like I said, I had no idea who he was until my partner mentioned something and I have now since seen him on tv so I was like 'ah I've seen that guy in real life' - maybe he's always a smiley guy I didn't know him well enough to comment but that's the feeling I got from him at the time.

He smiled at you and that equates to "creepy"?

And as far: Just cause I'm with an older guy doesn't mean I like them all...

Sounds like you're the one making the assumption about older guys!

He also stares at people in a strange way. The Paddington Bear stare..

Paddington is also trending so not sure this tells us anything meaningful.

That just means someone will die soon. Paddington's the grim reaper of the old and famous.

Why’s that then? Could it be that people are talking about you when they know nothing about you? We’re judging your partner based on his age and the way you are behaving in public saying people are giving you creepy vibes?

Oh I have to laugh at the irony. You were very happy to pass comment on someone in the public eye without any reason to do so 🤷‍♀️ I really hope you can see the point I’m trying to make butterfly.

Don't forget that case he carries everywhere too - what's all that about? Hiding something in there for sure...

'Does that rule out Nolan? I'm not from Northern Ireland and I'd never heard of him before today.'

Nolan presents every day on Radio Ulster and he also has a show on radio 5 Live, and a political show on BBC One NI. He's off for a few weeks now for a 'much needed break'

xsquared · 08/07/2023 16:55

No point in speculating who it is. We will find out eventually.

There's been so many deleted posts as it is, so I hope the entire thread gets deleted like an earlier one I saw this morning.

It will be a shame if it's him. His podcast on Stonewall was excellent.

Well, it’s about as sensible as some the replies, I guess.

Addymontgomeryfan · 08/07/2023 17:09

Some of the well known names that have been tweeting about it have dropped major hints that if you put the hints together you will work it out, and yes if it is who it looks to be then it is shocking.

Florenz · 08/07/2023 17:22

I think the BBC should be shut down at this point. People should not be forced to pay for paedos.

Justplainsadmad · 08/07/2023 17:23

According to tattle it's an Irish man!

I'm crap at reading between the lines (it's the autism)
It doesn't even look like those on Tattle seem to know who. Just guesses really.

They seem to be thinking its a welshman in their recent posts

MeinKraft · 08/07/2023 17:37

@WhisperingAutistic I hope not. I've heard any Irish man mentioned, much more high profile and if it is him then Sad
