Be Kind - Schofield/Willoughby

The internet seems full of awful comments about Philip Schofield and Holly Willoughby.

People should perhaps remember what happened to Caroline Flack!

Nah, I don't think it's the same situation at all.

One killed herself because she was going to go down for assaulting her boyfriend. This one is more similar to J.S.

#bekind is a hashtag thrown around by virtue signalling twats.

Some people are awful, and it is ok to point that out sometimes.

Who is JS please ?

Did Caroline Flack lie to her spouse about her sexuality for 30 years? Did she groom a young boy? Was her brother jailed for having sex with a child and she admitted in court that she knew and didn't do anything? No, the situation is completely different.

I'm no fan of "be kind" and I'm quite sure PS is a piece of crap, but people are really revelling in and salivating over this in quite an extreme way.

Well said. Sometimes calling people out for what they are IS being kind - but instead its showing kindness to all the people these Teflon narcissists have failed to #bekind to themselves.

Yep, those who use the 'be kind' strumpf are generally bullying twats who use it to shut people down or up.

He is A predatory man
Look up Stuart Mcgreavy
About bloody time he was off our screens the lying abusive bully

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 21/05/2023 22:01

the people to blame for Flack were the police! They took a non case through to trial for no reason what so ever!

side note: you’re allowed to say you don’t like certain tv presenters!

Otherland · 21/05/2023 22:02

If it weren’t for these two, gushing over BoJo Johnson yet laying in to Corbyn, maybe we’d have a better country today. I’m happy to see both disappear off our screens on that alone.

This with bells on. Fuck #bekind

PickoftheMix · 21/05/2023 22:02

I've got a feeling a lot is going to be revealed about his past antics in the next few months, and he knows this so jumped before he was pushed.

Someone of his profile isn't going to willfully give up his spot on a big show over an alleged spat with his co-host, i mean, they rode out the waves of the queue jumping backlash without quitting. Something far more sinister is going on behind the scenes...

Dartmoorcheffy · 21/05/2023 22:02

Hes a smug twat who has had his fall from grace. He groomed a young boy. He's not much better than his brother. Never particularly liked him. Fake and false.

MySunnyDay · 21/05/2023 22:03

nope

greencardigangirl · 21/05/2023 22:03

This didn't quite go to plan did it OP?

This.

#bekind is a load of horseshit.

Ill reserve my be kind for the underage victims of groomers, thanks.

It was Matthew, not Stuart.

Anyway, back to the original post, it's not the same as Caroline Flack and the circumstances surrounding her death, I'm finding it hard to see the comparisons.

Can’t say they influenced my voting choices. Most people are at work surely?
