What has Scott Mills done?

[PinkJ]

As above!

Have you never, you know, actually met people before?

This has spread like wildfire across SM, Tattle & Reddit.

Surely you’d just make a decision based on whether you like what their offer is and whether you find it entertaining. If it’s something illegal it’ll come out at some point and if it’s not then why would it influence your decision? Do you know and agree with the moral standing of every person you watch or listen to?

He probably sang some lyrics which included the N word, that’s enough to get you the sack from the BBC.

Reddit is leaning towards tax issues; time of year perhaps.

As well as drugs/alcohol.

I do hope it's the former, rather than something dark and Edwards-esque.

Who really cares he’s an annoying pillock; not funny in the slightest; a really pathetic little scrott

The fact that it was swift and sacking rather than suspension suggests something serious and possibly indictable.

As it should, it’s an incredibly racist, offensive term. If someone in my team used that word their coat would he on a very shaky peg and they’re not high profile.

I’m retired

Worse than Huw Edwards as the BBC instantly sacked him. We are talking the BBC here, where you would need to murder someone before they even spent a year apologising to you and reassuring you still have a job with them and spending hundreds of millions in taxpayer PR to defend your reputation that’s in tatters
and giving you 2 years severance pay. Scott Mills was on £350k a year, so he’s got let’s assume £2m severance pay.

I agree it is an offensive and racist term and I hate hearing it in rap songs but I don’t think anyone who finds themselves rapping along to the lyrics is an evil racist that deserves the sack.

Scott Mills probs said he voted Reform or met Trump once. The BBC went ballistic and had volcanic rage at the mere thought one of their employees was not a Fabian society communist.

If it is about having an affair, it won't just be about sex. It will be a relationship with someone he had a power imbalance over. An intern or someone he was in a position to do favours for.

Because it SHOULD be - out them! They obviously thought it was a good idea at the time, so shouldn't be hidden
#metoo

It could be that specifying why he's been sacked would identify the other person.

Probably means the meeting went along the lines of x has alleged you did this and he's gone yup, that's true. Not everyone wants an investigation / suspension and speculation.

I heard he just kept eating other people’s sandwiches from the staff fridge and, despite the passive aggressive sign he did not put his mug in the dishwasher. In the end all the other DJs signed a letter stating that they go on strike if they didn’t get rid. Sad, but he’s only got himself to blame!

What about people who work for the civil service?
Unless it is criminal, there is no need for the public to know.

i read it was an issue in a relationship from 10 years ago

Why should it be public knowledge? Are you serious? it's a punitive tax we all have to pay - they are our state broadcaster which gets £3.5 billion from those of us who are still pay it - it pays his wages, we have the right to know and should have a voice to get rid of this diabolical tax and replace it with a subscription model but we have the LF inflicted on us AT THE MOMENT - THIS NEEDS TO CHANGE there is something rotten at the core of BBC management and HR processes which for some reason people of his ilk are drawn towards do you really need a list? It is scandal ridden and frankly a national embarrassment its glory days are long behind it

Yes, that's why the BBC platforms Reform every other week on QT!

What's wrong with the Fabian Society? It isn't a Comminust organisation by any stretch of the imagination. There is a whole batshit, right-wing conspiracy theory about it, but I am sure you are not foolish enough to buy into that.

Yes, that’s what the Mirror )who apparently broke the story) are saying

Brilliant

Did you not read the previous post ? the license fee helps to pay his wage as it does extortionately for other presenters who aren't worth it would you perhaps prefer to have been kept in the dark about the likes of Savile, Huw Edwards, Rolf Harris? The list goes on, do you seriously think that those "personal details" shouldn't have been disclosed, don't you think the public have a right to know where their hard earned cash which is being "stolen" from them in the form of a punitive tax goes?

Do we know yet?

So much rage towards not your employer because they’re not telling YOU why they terminated someone’s employment contract. Adding quotation marks doesn’t tame your- wildly dramatic and offensive without evidence - suggestions about what category the employee was “obviously” in.

Take some deep breaths or you’ll not be able to sleep well tonight…
