Just heard about this. It started circulating in the press ages ago that his brother was under investigation for disgusting behaviour towards minors. That being said, all the articles that are being written about this court case seem to heavily infer that Phil knew about his brotherās sex crimes before an official report was filed to the police. Therefore, Phil is a Nonce enabler. Does anyone feel the press are deliberately pushing this narrative to ruin Philās rep because weāve got a few journalists who know of his dirty deeds but they canāt actually talk about them due to legal issues? A bit similar to how queuegate was amplified by the press.
This explains why he was off This Morning today and supposedly will be for the rest of the week. ITV cannot ignore this, and sweep it under the carpet like they did queuegate. Theyāve got an alleged Nonce sympathiser representing their brand and flying the flag for their flagship magazine show. Heās widely disliked in the media (heās currently getting slaughtered on Twitter) and Alison Hammond who is much more popular amongst younger demographics, is waiting in the wings ready to snare his job if he leaves. Why are they so hesitant to cut their losses and give him the boot when it would only benefit them in the long-run? Itās like a bleeping cult. ITVās antics are currently mirroring the actions of the BBC, an institution which covered up the horrific crimes of a profilic sex offender.
