What has Scott Mills done?

[PinkJ]

As above!

If he's broken the law I presume we'll find out when it goes to court. If it wasn't illegal then I'm not convinced we (the general public) have any right to know.

I’m interested to know why he was sacked. I’ve listened to his breakfast show for a while now as it’s on during the school run. I want to know what he’s done so I can make a decision about whether or not to listen to him in the future when he pops up elsewhere.

As tax payers we fund the NHS. Do you think that every time a nurse is sacked there should be a public announcement?

No of course I don’t.

It's not generally headlines though, It's the top story on the BBC all day that they sacked him, they have made a public announcement.

Precisely.

Surely that depends on why she was sacked.

When you announce a sacking publicly people are going to speculate.

If you then shut down and say nothing that speculation grows. We’ve already had people speculating about why SM might have been fired, based on previous conducts of other BBC personalities.

Not at least giving some indication in this instance could lead to far more damage to the individual if that’s not the reason than if they at least give some indication as to what it was about.

Let’s not pretend that the vast majority won’t have jumped to a certain conclusion here.

If it's not the public's business why not just say he's left?

Having an affair isn't a sackable offence though.

Probably because something is likely to come to court. Or they fear it might.

The Mirror, claim the allegation relates to a historic relationship dating back more than 10 years. As Mills is gay, this is presumably a relationship with a man. I have no idea whether the Mirror is correct.

Neither is texting sexually to an adult , as long as consensual and not in the work place, or having a drink or drug problem,,

im stunned anyone thinks you could be fired for these things.

If nurses or other healthcare professionals are sacked or struck off the information is published. You can read about it on the professional bodies website, it is quite interesting.

That is because this information falls under one of the public interest exemptions in GDPR. Whatever Mills has done is unlikely to fall under an exemption. It may be interesting to the public to know the details of the allegations, but there is no public interest in us knowing.

If it was something illegal, they wouldn’t have referred to it as a relationship.

'His firing allegedly centres around a “historic male relationship”.'

'It is believed to relate to Mills’ relationship from more than 10 years ago, according to The Mirror. The Standard has contacted Mills’ representative for comment.'[ (Evening Standard)

It's a different funding model for the BBC. It's public money, we should know.

Read my posts. It doesn't work like that. If the BBC told us the reasons in any more detail than they have, it would be a clear breach of GDPR.

Got drunk at a recent party celebrating 100 years of Nature programs, called Attenborough a twat, waved his Willy at the DG and shat on the buffet table - allegedly

They had to override Simpatico in order to lock him in Frankie Howard to calm down

If a nurse or any other Registered HCP is disaplined, sacked and had their registration removed it is published

They can't. It's not public money, it's the money from members of the public who have a TV licence.

None have been sacked so swiftly and before anything was public or investigated.

I’ve never got a creepy vibe from Mills even though I’ve never been a fan. Seems unfair to be dismissed over an allegation so there must be proof?

With the exception of free charity services, every single employee in the world works for a company that delivers products or services that are paid for. That includes you. If you were disciplined for some reason, I presume you would you be happy for it to be in the public domain because somebody is paying for the services your company provides??

I am guessing it is another 'unwise but not illegal' scenario
