To wonder which BBC presenter this could be?

The thing is this isn’t someone saying words which can be disputed and no-one knows what happened, this woman’s wrist was broken.

Yes the Mail is biased against the BBC but I am still shocked that this can happen in a workplace funded by taxpayers and the worst they’ll do is put him on a shift he won’t like.

And The Guardian denied that the Cologne attacks took place, and called women who objected to a man (a known sex offender no less) in their female spa bigots and liars, and the that’s just for starters. All of our newspapers have their own agendas and they’ve all done some pretty nasty stuff over the years.

“The BBC isn’t perfect…”
🤣🤣🤣

Truth. I would gobble down a book by Russell T Davies when he’s ready to tell where all the bodies are buried. It would have to be when he’s ready to retire, I imagine. But yes, I’d absolutely love to see him go out with a “bang.” I don’t love everything he writes, but I respect his POV as a writer and he’s incredibly unique - writing for Channel 4, ITV, and still being accepted at BBC. A tell-all would probably be hilarious and quite biting.

Does anybody really believe anything they read in the Mail apart from the date..
Posts like that make you seem a bit unintelligent, so you don't think everything in a particular news source is true but it's blatant nonsense to say that nothing is.'

The Mail is known for not being trustworthy.

@GiorgioArmageddi , you can't be 'incredibly unique'

Quite. It's astonishing ... the guardian, a wolf in sheep's clothing if ever there was one.

Fair point. Hope you don’t use “close proximity”; that one used to make my gran grit her teeth. Anyway, congrats on your pedantry, and your medal should be arriving soon via Royal Mail after the bank holiday 🥇

Well you must be interested yourself,otherwise you wouldn't be reading this thread.

It wasn’t DW who settled it was ITN and Channel 5.

You could also argue that if her allegations were true why would you not insist on having it all heard publically so you could be vindicated. As it is who would employ her now?

Not if it was sent 2nd class. It will take weeks.

It's not Tim Westwood or Terry Wogan!

The TW is not a household name - he's a BBC news presenter from more than a decade ago

Also, the DM were pivotal in bringing the Stephen Lawrence killers to justice...

I am still very disgusted that my money was given to the BBC's Huw Edwards so he could buy pictures of teenage boys wanking and to fund child abuse... And yet if I refuse to pay the BBC, I am the one who could end up in prison!

It's about time the enforced licence fee / TV tax was abolished. It's not the 1930s and they don't need it.

They do need it. You don't have to have a tv licence if you don't watch live tv.

They've been hot on gender ideology/women's rights for years, too.
But it will never not be cool to slag off the DM- a quick virtue signal if ever there was one

Oi! Leave Jimmy Carr alone
He's one of the few male comedians that doesn't pretend to be a snivelling puritan

Just don't pay it and don't answer the door if they ever visit, or politely say 'no thanks' if you do answer the door and it's them and then shut the door. That's literally all you need to do.

I stopped paying mine a decade ago and have never even been visited. Have received over 100 threatening letters though.

The BBC is a disgrace and should be shut down.

To be fair, if I’d sent it via second-class mail, you might just as easily never see it again OR receive it in a few weeks. I know using “incredibly unique” may have shaken your faith in me, but I do have standards. I knew you’d want your pedantry medal sooner so that you can wear it out to black-tie events or just going to Costa, so of course I mailed it via first class. 👍 Also, it’s a lovely antique gold colour, if you are currently trying to plan a matching gown and sash.

Agreed. A few people I remember felt they had to defend themselves before Huw Edwards was named.

That’s not true. You still need a TV licence to watch BBC iPlayer, even if you’re watching catch-up TV that’s not live.

Presumably you don't watch live TV?

Yeah I’ve also not had a tv licence for a decade. I’ve once had someone on my doorstep asking if they could come in and I said no and he said okay and left. The people who get fined or imprisoned tend to be vulnerable or poor people because the inspectors bully them into allowing them access. They know they have zero powers to force entry.

Dan Walker didn’t settle, he had been very clear about that. He wanted the case to be heard

Sorry @Pearlstillsinging I should have quoted the previous poster
