BBC Presenter Scandal #3

[Merpedy]

There’s such a lack of information that anything could be true

Why did the sun not report that the person was denying this? According to the BBC they let the Sun know about this via a text. It seems obvious given the description of the situation by the mother but would also seem important to report

What a wild ride!!!

Honestly, I'm not being nasty, but I think she's just not very bright and she thought the BBC could stop him sending her son money, because she doesn't know how these things work? We can speculate on her motives in going to the BBC then the press, but I think the most straightforward explanation is just that she's not bright and she thought the BBC could stop HE, so when they didn't, she felt like she'd been wronged.

If this whole story is true, I definitely feel sorry for her. Loving an addict is horrible. I'm just saying that I think her actions seem odd because she misunderstood what her actions would cause to happen.

I deemed her 'not very bright' when she went to that rag.

Excited to hear the views of Dolan’s “superstar panel” featuring Carole Malone…

They are hypocrites. Used to have 16/17 year old page 3 girls.

As bad as that was it wasn't illegal at the time, is now of course and rightly so .

LOL, TalkTV is unreal. Social Media is out of control .... waaaagh. Yes, that's the point ... THEY aren't in control of us and don't like it. Waaaaagh.

RE the 10pm news tonight, no matter if it’s true or not surely he’s still suspended anyway so won’t be on regardless?

Still waiting on Paul Breach’s response to this whole saga.

“You all sit there behind ya little keyboards and be the big men. Some of us are young at heart ya know?… well, I’ve had it. I’ve HAD IT. I’m taking a break.”

If sexually explicit photos have been sent of a 17year old to someone it’s illegal, and they should be prosecuted.

A) It hasn't been reliably confirmed if the child is a son or a daughter. Various news outlets have used both genders.

B) Just because the parent hasn’t gained anything doesn’t mean that their expectation initially wasn’t financial gain. Or it could just be that the parent has a fractured relationship with the child and wanted to project the cause of that onto someone else.

The fact is we KNOW almost nothing.

First storys from BBC/The Sun both who had contact with the Mum said Male/Son. Because as far as the public are concerned the main suspect is straight so they changed the language to not 'out' him

 

[Shesaidwhat?]

Do we genuinely know she didn’t take any money though? They said she didn’t ‘ask’ for money, but it’s not the same as not taking it if it’s offered y’know?

Yes you’re right I never thought of that.

Plenty of lawyers will volunteer to support given the profile and ethics of course - how else do you think Trump keeps a revolving legal team?

 

[House of Tea]

Girl?

Probably trying to stir the shit. Everywhere else it’s a boy. Including the BBC.

 

[pixxyy]

Because it wouldn't change people's opinions at all?

I don't think the BBC can take him back now anyway if he's innocent, it's too controversial. But another broadcaster could if they can handle the heat- and if he's never officially named then it doesn't reflect as much on him

I agree even if it comes out no pics before lad was 18 and no other illegal behavior, Mud sticks & to me newsreaders have to be 'trustworthy'

 

[Squittel]

Huw has liked two tweets on his twitter in the last hour

Ooh so he has

 

[BubbleDuck]

I keep thinking…. So the sun have enough evidence to print the story and potentially ruin someone’s life but the police don’t have enough to open an investigation??
Doesn’t add up.

It still could be that everything is true apart from the fact it started when the young person was 17. If they started at 18, especially through a site like OF , then much as people may find it distasteful that a then 58 ish yr old straight married christian was paying to see an 18yr old perform sexual acts, it’s legal and there would be no grounds for an investigation. And probably a more more common than people would like to think

Off topic but I love this gif

Don’t worry about it, you will get free nosh, WiFi and TV in prison and not have to pay for the BBC licence fee

Don’t ask that. I will have to find you a link on anti Catholic rhetoric.

I'm also Catholic.
