There's not one iota of proof. And if there was, it would have been released by now, trust me.

You mean like the proof Dan Wootton produced wrt Schofield and Edwards?

Anxioys · 18/07/2023 17:17

It does seem to be spreading. I assume this first article is a teaser and there will be series since it seems written for that purpose.

You don't investigate someone got three years and write one article

LizzieSiddal · 18/07/2023 17:21

Those saying there’s no evidence obviously didn’t read the piece.

Bylines state they have given all their evidence to the Met Police!

Why isn’t this ALL over the media just like Schofield and Edwards.

Is it because he’s a right winger?

The hypocrisy is astounding!!

It's in a void with Johnson's whatsapps

Yes, I believe it's a 3 parter.

They will have thoroughly investigated before publishing won't they.

I have no doubt they have the evidence the report they've given to the police.

The Byline Times are all about truth and honestly and not being tied to certain opinions through politics or favour.

Yep, because Murdoch is protecting him and the business racketeering firm he runs.

This has been doing the rounds for weeks. It certainly tops anything Huw Edwards might have done. The only reason it's not getting much traction is cos loads of people have never heard of him.

There was an item in Private Eye back in 2018 that people think was referring to him. If this is true, it's going to be one of the ones where they were hiding in plain sight.

The Guardian is reporting that the allegations are being investigated by The Mail and another publication forget which. Can't do link on phone, reporter Jack Waterson.

What on earth is wrong with these men!

They're twisted psychopaths, who see other humans as props to get their rocks off.

Very well put Sinner 😕

PurpleButterflyWings · 18/07/2023 19:54

Vile man. Deserves all that is coming to him.

Clymene · 18/07/2023 19:56

All this shows to me is that men are skanky as hell. All of them. Sleazy fuckers.

Clymene · 18/07/2023 19:57

Oh and I will knock byline times because they pay Helen Belcher.

newnamethanks · 18/07/2023 20:04

Even if none of the allegations are true, Wotton is still a detestable, twisted, human being who has made his career from persecuting and harassing people in a vulnerable state. As such, he deserves all acrimony coming his way.

So if someone thinks you’re detestable are they entitled to make allegations against you ? And will you deserve the acrimony ?

ILikeDinosaurs · 18/07/2023 20:21

"The Guardian has over the last three years talked to multiple individuals working in the media who say they have been approached online by a person using the name Martin Branning."

So they have also been aware of this..

Tbh all this doesn't surprise me. What a disgusting creature he is.

Show quote history

Hold on - PP isn't the one making the allegations (I don't think?!). But they can still detest him. What's wrong with that?

So no one is allowed to say anything? People can make allegations if something happened to them, whether they will stand up in court is another matter.

Prison followed by deportation please. We don't need these alleged pervert economic migrants here thank you very much.

Roussette
Just read this
What utter hypocrisy from him and his endless criticism of Huw Edwards...

The article in Byline Times says he's been off-air for two weeks visiting family in New Zealand.

In his absence, the news channel has covered the money-for-sexual-images controversy surrounding the BBC and its lead presenter Huw Edwards...
Stand-in Mark Dolan told viewers...

I meant Philip Schofield and his criticism of the BBC, utter hypocrisy if all this comes to light.

And yes his stand-in on his show covered it. Endlessly.

What do you think about Dan Wootton?

Not much - I know very little about him.

AceofPentacles · 18/07/2023 20:41

I hope this ends his career. It's probably the tip of a very vile iceberg

Clavinova · 18/07/2023 20:42

Carol Vorderman is on the case...

Dan Wootton has deleted all reference to Huw Edwards from his profile

More likely he didn't tweet anything because he was holiday in New Zealand?
