Gary Lineker, Rylan Clark and Jeremy Vine rule themselves out of being the latest BBC pervert

Game, set and match.

I think that's the knockout punch

It would be hard to use the dosh made from selling the BBC to have a more positive impact on such a wide range and number of people than it does now.

But all ears to hear what your suggestion is.

I think since the Saville , Dando , Harris and other incidents (including it’s lack of impartiality) , it probably has the opposite effect, otherwise the talk of scrapping the licence fee wouldn’t even be on the agenda.

The BBC is also losing around ~60,000 licence fee payers per month through cancellations.

And yet a record 21.6m viewers tuned into their coverage of Glastonbury recently.

It was a couple of days ago that I read it, and the impact on events are unchanged, so you're just being your usual antagonistic self

You're all the place on this thread, Clever Clogs. Absolutely all over the place.

Don't upset him: he lives and breathes everything Tory. I imagine he sleeps under a Maggie Thatcher duvet.

Far too many tory filth in Wales

They need to be exterminated

Impartial ?

For every person who thinks it's anti tory there is someone who thinks it's pro tory

It seems very middle of the road

I’m sure for a one off event like that which these days appeals to a much wider audience it’s to be expected but it’s a service that’s in decline both in terms of funding and quality.

For reference I’ve been there a few times before it became mainstream and a few from Cardiff did security there as well. I found it was attended mainly people from Wales and the West Country not so sure it’s like that now though and it wouldn’t interest me.

The Sun are causing trouble again.

I got it from the BBC. The family contacted the BBC on 19th March and they never heard back from them. They only sprung into action after the Sun article appeared. The same article also prompted Person X to make contact with the young person by phone. However, they didn't mention who is paying for the multinational law firm that are assisting the young person.

They only contacted the BBC in May after they reported it to the police who decided there was no criminality! The parents then changed their story when they went to The Sun introducing the bit about the “victim” being 17.

Yes. it was the 19th May, I mixed up the months. According to the BBC the police are still looking into it, and even if Presenter X doesn't face any charges it's still a tricky situation job wise, as it seems possible that Presenter X spends a lot of their free time pestering young people and asking for intimate photos and meetups. Grannies all over the country won't be happy about that, so it's going to be a PR nightmare.

The level of scrutiny this presenter is subjected to is absurd.

Second and third hand allegations and its plastered over the front pages for days.

Tory MPs do worse and its brushed off as nonsense and things that aren't of interest.

Off the top of my head:

Watching porn in the commons
Pincher
Boris lockdown parties
Cocaine taking

This would have been brushed off too, but due to an unfortunate sequence of events it hasn't happened that way and everybody is scrambling for a solution. I don't know how it ends, but if more allegations surface the BBC will face a public outcry.

Seems I was wrong when I said the parents went to the Sun before the police, so apologies about that.

An apology on here is a rarity. Well done that man 👏👍

The police looked at original complaint, decided nothing illegal had taken place, but are now revisiting it in light of parents changing their story. There is NO complaint from the “child” as I understand. A child that is now 20 years of age!

Rupert Murdoch attack on the BBC shocker. In other news, bear shits in woods, water made from hydrogen and oxygen

I may have got some stuff upside down too, and I've learnt a few things from this threat that I never knew before. I think it's the nature of a situation, with allegations and counter-allegations happening so fast.

They are also being represented by a multinational law firm and nobody knows who is paying for it.

Firms take on these kind of cases for exposure..

Presenter X has exposed themself and become more tainted since yesterday if the new allegations are true.

[The Bloop]

There are now a total of 4 allegations against the same person.
Given that the person hasn't been named, who and how has the connection been made?

I’ve not seen all the allegations, some seem very creepy but to be fair the one allegation was from a 20 something person who said they felt bullied because they had been sent expletive texts after they threatened to expose them online, what did they expect? Surely most in that position would do the same.

Another one about him going for a cup of tea during covid restrictions.
