I remember being suspicious of those charity swims. It all felt so odd at the time. So much was made of them. It seemed to be out of all proportion to how important they actually were. He was lauded as if he was the man who'd just found the cure for cancer or somethig. It was most odd. Does anyone else remember. I wonder if that was a PR attempt to make him seem lkke a really lovely man.

I have read that press release several times and didn’t take it that Cleary and Gottlieb were representing DW. It is a round-up of litigation news. The first paragraph states C&G are facing a lawsuit themselves. The second paragraph talks about DW initiating an injunction against the Guardian and ITN and doesn’t specifically mention who is representing him. The third paragraph talks about litigation between 2 firms and again does not mention C&G.

As it is a round-up of the week’s news it reads to me as three separate pieces of legal news unconnected to each other. Obviously I may be wrong but that’s how it reads to me.

You are right. I misread it as a CG round up of cases they were involved in. Thank you.

Please give me a proper clue

Have a feel of a horse that’s frost(y) is a proper clue! When connected with the original comment about only fools.
Anything too obvious will get threads deleted or mn into legal hot water. Hence clues.
I don’t think it’s that person anyway. I think it’s DW.

He admitted on a interview that he won an award for most innuendo on a tv show he was on and basically said no one on the set ever dared to bend over near him.
there was an odd incident years ago where two men took underaged boys to his house and were subsequently arrested but he wasn’t there and denied knowledge
And he was once considered to be inappropriate on an interview with a female interviewer
Theres probably more

Im asking about David Jason

Your post is about David Jason?

The most innuendo on TV?

Yes sorry I didn’t explain well. During a interview David Jason told the interviewer that he was once given an award for most innuendo whilst working on a show (I don’t know how it came about)

Interesting. Ive never heard this

And 2 men were arrested for taking boys to his house? Never heard anything about this. Why are people beiing all MI5 secretive then if this is known information?

It’s more they are trying not to say outright who the injunction is about as it’s hearsay and the thread will be deleted. What I’ve said is public knowledge.

Im not talking about the injunction, Im talking about David Jason. The Injunction is nothing to do with him.

I dont know why people were using silly clues to refer to David Jason or David Walliams, as others say, it is known ifnormation that David Walliams has taken out the injunction, people have posted links to it above.

This is known information re: boys taken to his house. There is a lot more known as well but I believe it may be subject to a separate injunction so it may now be a IYKYK situation and nothing will come out until he passes away.

He was in Austrialia at the time though from what I can find online? I dont get the inference or even why this would happen?

AI also just told me that US oil prices are high because of the war in Ukraine... Seems to have forgotten all about Hormuz.

AI confidently informed me me earlier that famously unmarried Queen Elizabeth I had ‘several legitimate children’ so I wouldn’t give it too much credence 😁

Is 'desert orchid' 'secret button' 'rosebud' all secret words for the unspeakable 'clitoris' word? Why can't people just say it?

Greenseawitch · 18/10/2026 22:08

It's DW.

Openly named on X.

Hardly a surprise.

JulietteRoche · 17/10/2026 08:24

Yes, this one seems to point in a different direction. I'm sure it's DW and not DJ, though. I've never heard anything untoward about DJ.

I couldn't understand the only fools reference on page one. Hence why it's wrong to speculate.
I've never heard anything ever about David Jason in all these years.
The Guardian should just print and let the accusers have their say

Well. Beyond what is known, there is a lot more to come. But that is a separate injunction not this one which is DW not DJ. If you want DJ things, it’ll come on his death.

It’s definitely DW. It can’t be reported in the UK but he can be named elsewhere… and has been

Perhaps only fools know who the person is 😏

This ‘trend’ of spouting that man’s name REALLY has to end. There’s zero proof and you could be blackening an innocent man’s reputation. Pack it in

David Jason was presented with a “golden sausage” trophy for making the best innuendos on set.

“If I see something with any male or female – usually it’s the females I must admit – usually I will pass comment and observe and put it on camera and they’ll save it,’ he explained. “You’ve got to use your imagination… What was it that I saying or what was I doing? You daren’t bend down if I’m in the show.”

So he's admitted to sexual harassment on an industrial scale. There have been no public accusations of rape and he is not the subject of this thread.

Also, whilst I'm not accusing DJ personally of anything here, some predatory people will deliberately use the rather peculiar method of referring to humans as 'males' or 'females' (as a noun - the way a farmer might refer to their livestock) rather than the much more natural 'men' or 'women' to obscure the age of the people about whom they are talking.

Even if that was true (it’s a rumour!), that doesn’t make him a paedophile! Good grief

Those are his own words.

I didn't say he's a paedophile. Did someone else?
