What has Scott Mills done?

[PinkJ]

As above!

If it’s following a complain/allegation as suggested by the initial reports, it’ll be either violent or sexual

hmm..

It must be really bad to be sacked by the BBC. I could hazard a guess but then we probably all could.🙁

Could be anything. Maybe having an affair, or sending sexual messages to a consenting and legal aged adult. Could be the above with a minor.
Could be he’s got a drug or alcohol problem.
Could be he’s said something inappropriate to another person, such as something racist or any form of discrimination.

Does it really matter?
Why should it be public knowledge?

It should be public knowledge because the public pay for it, around £180 a year I believe

As disappointed as people will be with this I’d guess it’s a social media thing and he’s breached there guidelines which you can be instantly dismissed

if it was a sexual allegation not sure any employer could sack someone over an allegation till it’s been investigated and an outcome normally they’d be suspended pending investigation

No point speculating (human nature to, of course), but for the axe to have swung so quickly and so decisively, TPTB must have been 100% certain it was justified/necessary. Which presumably means it’s going to all come out sooner rather than later, but we’ll see.

Very likely the same as all the other men who worked for the BBC (who have been sacked.)

Use your imagination!

I can’t say I’m disappointed. I always thought he was pretty shit at what he did, whether it was tv or radio

No it shouldn't. It's none of our business. Would you expect to know why someone from Sainsbury's has been sacked just because you've bought your bananas from them? Or why a Sky employee was sacked because you pay for the movie channel?

Does it really matter?
Why should it be public knowledge?

Well I can't speak for everyone but I'm a nosy bastard and am dying to know.

People are invested as listeners plus license fee!

Shagged an intern apparently

So frustrating to see another thread opened on this, and in AIBU which is a specific forum.

we’re about a dozen pages into the one in Chat, where it belongs.

Wish this was like Pistonheads where duplicate threads automatically get deleted by mods or folded into the original.

Stealing teabags from the canteen, allegedly.

Well no, but I have a friend whose pathological zeal for nosiness and skills with social media mean that if they were in any way vaguely known to us, I'd find out exactly what went on anyway, probably before the employees themselves knew.

It's going to come out in the papers tomorrow.

No-one is forcing you to read it. Couldn't you just scroll past like the rest of us do when there is a thread that doesn't interest us?

I hope the BBC said love you, bye when they let him go

Those are private companies. The BBC is a publicly funded organisation so incidents of serious misconduct are peoples' business.

When the individual is a long serving host, and is one of the highest paid in the organisation, I'd go so far as to say the BBC have an obligation to provide sufficient details as to explain the reason for the termination without needing to be salacious with the information.

I'm nosey that's all, no harm in it!

if it was a sexual allegation not sure any employer could sack someone over an allegation till it’s been investigated and an outcome normally they’d be suspended pending investigation

He was apparently suspended, briefly, and there is no need for an extrapolated investigation if there is an admission to something which constitutes gross misconduct. Boom, insta-punted.

Find Scott a bit OTT but otherwise ok, OJ though....🙄😖

But his salary comes from public money. The BBC as such is not a commercial channel

That's why their salaries are published
