Disgusting David Mitchell

[Beeziekn33ze]

Listening to Radio 4 at 12:00 today. Programme called The Unbelievable Truth, panellists trying to get 3 truths mixed with ridiculous lies past each other. At the end DM,who has always appeared benign, says which are which. One 'truth' was that wolf packs are lead by the chief sexual predator, fine. Then the foul mouthed fool added 'so are cubs' and by the sound of it a panellist or three tittered.
What a nasty double meaning. Yuk, yuk and yuk.
How dare he insult Scout and Cub leaders who have put up with enough? They are voluntary and give their time to making it possible for kids to have out of school activities and learn first aid and other useful skills.
I hope the BBC make him apologise loud and clear. A money contribution would be good too. Or could he be sued for slander.
I'm upset that a man like that makes grubby fun of people willing to help kids on a regular basis.

Also it's "led" not "lead".

A money contribution to where exactly?

Guess you won’t be keen on this from Private Eye

I always tutted when people made jokes about cub and scout leaders. And then I discovered that my son's cub leader had been convicted of grooming young boys. We found out from the local paper a few months after he had left the pack after apparently deciding scout leadership wasn't for him ( that's the story we were given when he had actually been suspended) No one from the scouts thought to warn us parents before it hit the local papers and all attempts we made to get some sort of answers as to how this man had got through the vetting process were bated away. All swept under the carpet so I have absolutely no trust in that organisation I'm afraid.

Wolf packs led by a sexual predator? Did they really say that?
(missing the point, but biology matters and all)

Lol at 'foul mouthed'!

It was a joke. You need to lighten up. A lot.

Simon Knowles was a cub leader as well as teacher.

🙄

Or could he be sued for slander

By whom? Wolves?

I did think that when I heard it TheHeathenofSuburbia .

I think it was fine, and I like David Mitchell.

The fact is, not all of these organisations background check as well as they should.

Predators DO slip through.
This is hardly an indictment on ALL volunteers*
What back ground checks would you like them to do that they don't do?

DM and his wife VCM are MN royalty so they can do no wrong on here. Didn't you know that OP? Personally I find them smug and unfunny.

Or could he be sued for slander

By whom? Wolves?

I heard it and found it funny.

You're taking things a bit too personally OP. Why is that?

And David Mitchell "foul mouthed"? Ha, that's funny!

YABU

It was what is known in the trade as A JOKE!

Think this says more about how your mind works

Wolf packs led by a sexual predator? Did they really say that? (missing the point, but biology matters and all) And this. I realise it was the set up for the 'joke'

Do get over yourself, OP.

Also, David Mitchell isn't foul-mouthed and certainly isn't a fool

It was quite clearly a joke ... and a funny one.

If that offends you I don’t quite know how you leave your house.

at MN royalty.

I do make the children stand throughout Only Connect. You know, as a mark of respect.

Joke.

Get over yourself he was joking! He's hardly Frankie Boyle
