It seems like the stories about the old silver fox are ramping up. Feel like there's more mileage in this one that we know...

I bet there is no comeuppance for PS.

BeyondReasonablyDoubtsLots · 08/02/2020 20:51

This on twitter too

Link rather than screenshot to show it isn't doctored.

JillAmanda · 08/02/2020 20:55

Whoaaaa..... this is looking really bad for him.

Haworthia · 08/02/2020 20:58

It’s absolutely damning. Friending a kid with TV aspirations on Twitter in 2011, leading to a special trip to the TM studios in 2014, pulling a few strings to land him the runner job...

It’s grooming.

userxx · 08/02/2020 20:59

Holy fuck. This isn't good 😱

SpinneyHill · 08/02/2020 21:04

So what did he say about Saville?

Darlingsleepthief · 08/02/2020 21:06

Bloody hell he groomed him Shock

DobbyTheHouseElk · 08/02/2020 21:06

Wonder how brave PS feels right now! Seedy stuff again. He used to work in the BBC didn’t he....

stairway · 08/02/2020 21:15

I wonder if there is an injunction in place.

Hairydilemma · 08/02/2020 21:16

@SpinneyHill I think he was quite dismissive of victims, and minimised it, saying he’d been at the BBC and there’s no way it could have been the open secret people were saying.

RasberryRoyale · 08/02/2020 21:22

And this man tomorrow is getting a tribute on an itv show🤢

ForgottenWhyImHere · 08/02/2020 21:28

For anyone in the wife's situation in this sorry sorry... Here are the contact details of a fabulous support group for the straight partners (male or female) of people who come out as bi, gay or trans.

@smashstore “this is the most awful thread blah blah blah”
Spare us your sanctimonious guff, this thread is why I love the internet. Disgusting old fuckers like Schofield have no place to hide anymore. Their high priced PR might have been able to control and manage the tabloids in the past but they can’t control the internet. Thank goodness for people power via the medium of Twitter et al. Shitbags like him are having to be answerable to their egregious behaviour.

Just to clarify, I didn't for a minute defend PS, you don't need to rant at me Hmm

Haworthia · 08/02/2020 21:35

More stuff on Twitter. This, apparently, is PS attending the boy’s 18th birthday party. I’m guessing it’s him sitting opposite?

Totally agree!

This is weird stuff.
Matthew Mcgreevy with PSch Showreel.

othervoicesotherrooms · 08/02/2020 21:46

I've got a bad feeling about this Matthew person.
I'm not a fan I f PSch but there's something fishy going on here.

CoolCarrie · 08/02/2020 21:47

Just to say As Savile has been mentioned that Janet Street Porter also worked at the BBC at the same time as Savile and said nothing, and I remember her stumbling, vague answers on Question Time when it all came out about his vile behaviour, so don’t blame just the men who worked there only for saying nothing at the time, plenty knew about him over the years and did nothing.

BeyondReasonablyDoubtsLots · 08/02/2020 21:52

He'd hav been playing a very long con if the 2011 tweets are real though...

Skagen · 08/02/2020 21:53

The showreel is awful. I have a feeling that this guy will do whatever it takes and say whatever is required to keep a job in the industry. I bet he's kept a diary of all the times they met up together, what they did etc inorder to use it should it become necessary.

Haworthia · 08/02/2020 21:55

Twitter thread that consolidates a lot of the stuff we’ve been discussing.

twitter.com/thathuntfella/status/1226225919217610752?s=21

It looks like they’re going to struggle to sweep this under the carpet. The papers will surely be all over this?

othervoicesotherrooms · 08/02/2020 22:04

Scenario 1
Ruthless PSch groomed innocent inexperienced young runner. Took advantage of him and used his position in tv to get what he wanted.
Dumped him when he had taken what he wanted.
Runner threatens to tell al and forces PSch to 'come out'.
ITV doesn't give a damn and does everything it can to protect its most lucrative presenter.

Scenario 2
Ruthless young runner will do anything to get a break in television. Peruses older man who is flattered & falls for his charms.
Realises that the runner is using him to get a career break and ends it.
Runner threatens to tell all and expose the 'relationship forcing PSch to come out.
ITV realise that PSch has been taken for a ride and do all they can to protect him.

Personally I have always been in favour of whistleblowers. Always have been, always will be.
Let justice thereafter prevail
