Yeah, I must admit that I thought that she was good, as was most of the coverage that I saw (both presenting and punditry - other than Steve Bunce who is absolutely unbearable)

That said, they don’t all then go on to present The One Show etc as the seemingly omnipresent Jenas once did.

Now BBC has released him, Chelsea are interested in a free transfer I heard....

I'd tread carefully if I was you because I have no doubt whatsoever that you are comfortably the biggest arsehole at your workplace

She was very good and far far better than Jess Ennis who gets under my skin

I have been asking that question for years. He was a crap player who went on to be a crap presenter and crap pundit yet is a very rich man on the back of it

I wonder if he sent any pics seems all the rage these days?

The Daily T Investigates: ‘He paraded me around the BBC - then abused me’

The Daily T Investigates
Welcome to The Daily T Investigates, a new series bringing you the best of The Telegraph’s investigative journalism from the heart of the newsroom.

From Jimmy Savile to Huw Edwards, the BBC has in recent years been associated with a number of high-profile cases of paedophilia. But there have also been other cases of child abuse linked to the BBC, and now the organisation is facing fresh questions about whether it has done enough to protect children by properly vetting people coming into its offices or working on its behalf.

In this special episode of The Daily T hosted by head of investigations Claire Newell, we reveal a previously untold story of child sexual abuse at the hands of someone working for the organisation and expose how the BBC contracted a convicted paedophile as a chauffeur for 30 years. A warning that some listeners may find some of the reporting upsetting.

Dear God, the Telegraph, No surprise re. you though.
Harold Shipman was a GP, let’s all withhold our NI contributions and close the NHS.

I have sent loads of texts to female tv presenters and have never had any complaints

I wonder how much future earnings he has squandered, I reckon it could be tens of millions?

He says he's not a sex pest

Yesterday he said he would be consulting his lawyers as there's 2 sides to every story. Today he's apologised for sending inappropriate messages.
I guess the meeting with his lawyer didn't go as well as he'd hoped.

Hear it was a 2 min reacharound number wih Huw what dunnit?

He probably said to Alex Jones on the one show..

If he could smell her feet. When she said no, he said can I smell your fanny then ����

Well yesterday he ‘was not happy’ with the decision. Lawyers advised on damage limitation no doubt and think of the long game.

Easy one not quick enough.

Deeply worrying that the organisation employees are aware of behaviours and not dealing with it as workplace harresement of folk who are well under those in hierarchy decesions.

In the case of Huw Edwards it's was appalling.

In Jenas case it's repotered two members of staff were effected, Jenas has decided to reveal all in the Sun speaks volumes. I will put money on more will come, and that others knew in the organisation,

Revelation of the week is staff talk, employers know or ignore as the higher hierarchy employer worries them.

As to the the time line and employment law are you suggesting the BBC has it right?? As you maybe on your own as its a closetted organisation and does not operate in my humble view to protect its less famous support staff.

Dear Splott . Taunton contributers you positive views are required on this matter :


The BBC used chauffeurs convicted of paedophilia to transport celebrities and high-profile guests over (almost 30 years, )

Yep convicted.

Timely Employment law followed ?

Dirty organisation up there with other closed society's that are allowed to mask and bury dreadful secrets .

Government, Ofcom where are you.

As yourself what would be said if this was the GB News

:hehe: Yep but it is worrying that his intital mind set was he was some kind of victim. Not sure what his future is now but if Jermey Kyle can make a come back then I wouldn't rule out hearing or seeing JJ again

How many children and women have suffered in silence over the decades from this powerful elitist organisation is a frightening thought .

What's frightening is the fact that you're apparently free to wander the streets.
