BBC Presenter and yet more allegations

[friendlycat]

It would appear that the front page of tomorrow’s The Sun has further allegations about messages with a new 17 year old. Creepy hearts etc

Scrolling through Sky news and seeing front pages of the papers. This appears bottom right on The Sun front page.

Agree. The concern being expressed is not because we're the 'morality police'. If the Sun's splash over the said individual had been an affair with a colleague, even a younger one, there would have been an apology from him by now, talk of a break, stepping back for a while, etc etc, and I daresay he would have re-emerged at some point, maybe having split with his wife, but still able to resume his career, as countless others have done. But this isn't just some common-or-garden midlife crisis, this is something much darker I think.

Now Pandora’s box is open the papers are rather hoping more people will come forward and the story will develop. This behaviour could be the thin end of the edge. I guess we wait and see.

Posts like that are tantamount to actually naming him.

I think MNHQ should be taking threads like this down.

Report the post.

Superior standards that cultivated a culture of looking the other way whilst staggeringly entitled male star talent abused young girls and boys for decades

A culture that was cultivated to protect others. At the time there were high profile politicians involved, later confirmed to be paedophiles, and I don’t doubt there are others, that will be confirmed only after their deaths.
A culture that wasn’t just encouraged within the BBC but throughout media, throughout the police.

The alleged presenter is clearly a bog standard sleaze, otherwise this would remain covered up until death.

The programme is made by a production company with whom BBC has an agreement. BBC could get into trouble if they remove the programme before the license expires.

I'm not surprised, there are still apologists not just for Schofield but for many other stars who have abused their position and the people in their lives.

This is exactly how stars/powerful men get away with so much - because nobody wants to believe this happens and particularly don't want to believe it of their icons.

Report the post. The thread is fine even if some feel men should do whatever

I have.

Where has anyone said that men should do whatever?

And you seem unable to grasp they’re not children! I know saying ‘children’ heightens the drama and makes it all seem much more disturbing, but it simply isn’t true. Do we let children leave home and set up by themselves? Buy a scratch card or lottery ticket? Learn to drive? No, because 17 year olds aren’t children. Uncomfortably young yes, but not children.

Then it’s job done. No need to ask for a whole thread of people successfully NOT naming the presenter to be pulled.

So many apologists

That's not an answer to my question.

no one of course.
usual stunt of some people.
you disagree with me, therefore you are:

insert whatever.

There is a report saying that the presenter said to one of the young adults that he wasn't used to being turned down, this seems to indicate that he was pressuring them to meet up or send pictures. Use these sites if you must but if someone says no, then you accept their answer and move on . Not accepting 'no' for an answer is very dodgy.

I am not saying it is either or I am saying this has been given far more coverage it seems to be deemed as more newsworthy

should be easy for you to point out from such a vast field then:

WHO?
is an apologist for
WHAT?

Do you.

Do you really?

Why don't you just scroll past if you don't like them? Many more have already named a number of individuals who fit this description, and not just on here - Twitter, Tattle, newsites, newspapers, you tube . They may be right, they may be wrong. Either way, your policing isn't necessary.

Why is any of this our business?
Why are people so focused on this nonsense when there's actual scandals going on with our government that actually affect our lives.

A child is anyone who has not reached their 18th birthday. So at 17 you are still a child.

All those deflecting away from the man involved. Loads of posts - scroll back if you want.

You have your opinion. I have mine.

This too

Yes, sorry, I misunderstood.

This news story is taking away a lot of the flack off George Osborne, which is convenient…
