Phillip Schofield #31 Unwise but not illegal

[Tilly Kister]

This is a discussion about the law, which we still have, not the rule of the mob

Oh yes the rule of law. That law which permitted Jimmy Saville, despite every police force in the country having received allegations of abuse by him from over 100 victims, to die not only a free man but a Knight of the Realm and the Vatican. That law which has just released Gary Glitter early because he doesn't feel well & he's got some bangin' new choons for an album he wants to record. The law which was sanguine about the Home Office's "loss" of over 90 dossiers of evidence on child sex abuse in Westminster & Whitehall. The law which would refuse to take Rolf Harris back into custody when after his early release he was reported on numerous occasions lurking outside of schools and playing fields in Bucks - again because he didn't feel well. Though he was clearly, repeatedly & flagrantly violating his parole conditions by doing so.

The law is an ass - and btw just a note to whoever is paying this prat to shill for Phil. You are wasting your brass because he/she/they is/are really quite shit at it.

Is there even more stuff coming out that we don’t even know about?

I think there has to be.
Why has the story finally been broken by mainstream media? Why has he finally resigned from ITV?

The story of Matthew McGreevy has been well known on Tattle and elsewhere for the longest time.
There is something else about to break, I am guessing.

Imagine coming into the 31st thread about a (potential) groomer and thinking it's gucci to imply a grown man has done nothing wrong by getting with someone he met when he was a pre-teen and he was in this 40's, because technically it's not illegal. Frowned up, but not illegal. The absolute brass bollocks. Ever been groomed? I was. It fucks me up to this day, but should I just let that 30+ year trauma slide just because it's not illegal? Get a fucking grip. Read the room. So yeah, not illegal, but the repercussions and trauma seeded in the victim is enough to ruin a life. IMO it should be illegal. It's coercive control AKA abuse in my eyes.

My son is 18 and if some 61 year old became his boyfriend and I found out they had known each other for so many years I’d be concerned and rightly so

Dan Wootton tweeted that ITV execs were told multiple times. There are persistent rumours Ruth Langsford reported Phillip’s behaviour to ITV top brass, and that it soured the relationship between Ruth and Phillip possibly to the point Ruth and her husband had to leave This Morning.

Assuming that Ruth at least, and possibly others, privately communicated their concerns to ITV executives, and also assuming that they didn’t suspect actually criminal behaviour so couldn’t do much else with the facts, I think they probably did enough.

The only other thing would be to escalate the profile of the allegations with their names attached and risk being gaslighted as crazy & bitter trolls, or sued, or having their career thrown entirely off-track, when it wasn’t for for rest of the production’s team to investigate or or verify the concerns they had, but simply to report them to those whose jobs are to manage and oversee. That’s how most workplaces work isn’t it?

Now I DO want to know everything ITV execs knew and when and that will be the interesting part to me personally.

Didn’t realise Lorraine Kelly still even had a tv show the haggis smoking slag

OK, this time without holding back. Can you tell us how you feel about Lorraine?

So Holly sat on holiday with Philth being all cosy letting her sons spending time with him while he was probably having pedalo thoughts. Yuk she's a disgrace, I wouldn't let my kids near someone I knew liked young boys.

Did he have sex with anyone under 18? No evidence of that at all. Yes he lied and cheated but no evidence he had sex with someone underage and it is potentially libel to say so so I suggest you stop it

 

[Moomoomoo]

Editor of Mail on Sunday just on GBNews …….. said lots more revelations to come in tomorrows paper! Standby by tattlers! Tomorrows gonna be a busy day!

Grooming is not illegal either unless it leads to sex with someone under 18 or financial abuse

WTF? Grooming is never ok. Something doesn't have to be illegal to be wrong or unacceptable to society.

Well if you really want to be that pedantic (and even the above in relation to Schofield is disputed) it is not illegal to be a paedophile, it is only illegal to commit paedophilic acts of underage sex with minors

bloody hell to think that let alone type it

Did you get lost on your way to a more sinister website?

It's all groom and doom.

 

[Wellthisisinteresting]

This made me laugh so much, at a carboot sale today! I knew no one else would appreciate it was much as you guys SCREAMING

 

[JRH2022]

This has been discussed numerous times but I was talking with friends about how it was considered the ‘norm’ and funny for people of school age to receive Snapchats from Philth .. it’s wild looking back at that now when you’re older and more mature and seeing it for what it really is!

 

[House of Tea]

How can This Morning do anything on grooming or child abuse now? They have a duty of care to their employees and failed them.

Oooft

Fucking say it Eamonn!!!! Think they're waiting to see what unfolds over the rest of the weekend then spilling what they know?

Wow! You’re certainly going out of your way to defend him.
I am fully aware of where the law stands, and yes you are correct that it is the actions which are illegal, not the thought processes. I still stand by my stance that grooming behaviour would suggest pedophilic tendencies. As I said before, at the very least this is a grooming situation. I would add that there has also been a significant abuse of power, and would go as far as to say that he’s probably generally not a very pleasant chap.

 

[House of Tea]

Why not ask the same question in English?

It made your post a bit more interesting. You are welcome.

Why don't you just pop off? You're either baiting, or a weirdo sympathizer. Either way, get to

Edited so I don't get told off 🥸
