What has Scott Mills done?

[PinkJ]

As above!

People pay a licence fee to watch and utilise the BBC services, not for personal information on their staff.

Ffs!

My money and others that pay the licence pay his salary, it's a public service, Sainsbury's is a private company

That doesn't give you the right to their personal conduct information

We pay his salary of around £355k a year

It does though.

A private company is accountable to its shareholders.

The BBC is accountable to licence payers. Its literally in its charter.

do you have the right Scott Mills, @Ahsheeit? Wise to check sources before you post.

Will they never learn? 🤷‍♀️

Irrelevant. Does nit give you the right to know what has happened in his private life.

For how they spend their money not for personal information on why someone is hired or fired

Noooooo not when he bangs on about his loving husband every single day. Surely not 🙄

Because he’s a celebrity in the public eye?
Of course we want to know!

Agreed. There are unfortunately consequences of wanting a celebrity lifestyle.

They won't be able to keep it quiet, it soon came out about that other chap that got sacked from the One Show.

This information is nothing to do with the now former BBC employee Scott Mills, and I've already reported the post for the sake of getting it taken down ASAP.

Stupidly irresponsible.

Genius 😂

It is though. Every licence payer is entitled to know how they spend their money. And if such a big chunk of their expenditure has been on a personality who has been guilty of a serious misconduct then they also have a right to know.

That's how accountability works. Same with Huw Edwards and the myriad other people who have disgraced the BBC.

Yet another example of why people shouldn't be so easily lead by and reliant on AI.

I actually know a household name who bulk-stole catering-sized coffee jars from the Beeb. He is still doing very well, professionally and financially. So they clearly don't give you the shove just for major pilfering.

😆

I heard it was turning up in a polo shirt rather than a collar and tie

Or perhaps teabagging an intern?

I read it relates to allegations of a sexual nature going back10 years. But who knows if thats true or not. I guess it will all come out eventually.

I pay my council tax every year. Should I have access to the disciplinary record of every council employee? Or the garage where I buy my petrol? Or any organisation that I buy things from?
FWIW, it’s not the ‘public’ that pay the licence fee, it is people who choose to subscribe to BBC programmes.

Of course we have a right to know - they are a public service broadcaster paid for by the licence fee.

It's now being reported that this is an historic allegation.

It's looking very bad for the BBC.

Council employees who are the face of the council would be the equivalent here, rather than a random council employee in Accounts Payable or whatever, and yes you'd be informed if a face of the council were dismissed for serious misconduct.
