"Unnamed" BBC presenter

[big mervyn]

Is there anybody left who doesn't actually know who he is?

...apart from Rishi Sunak apparently.

[Jetstream]

Diversion tactics from Johnson and Osborne. Those are the news stories that should be highlighted..

[BR]

Is there anyone out there who cares?

[rumncoke]

Unfortunately 90% of the women on social media who can’t wait to maul another male for an offence he may or may not have committed .

Funny how you can feel opposite things at the same time. I feel sorry for any guy who has serious mental health problems. At the same time I feel utter revulsion for a man who takes advantage of vulnerable young people, whether there's an actual crime or not.

I don't know what he did or didn't do. I'm not going to make my judgment on anything written in a Shiite rag like The Sun

The guy in question released a statement through his lawyer, saying there was nothing inappropriate that happened and the sun's claims were rubbish. Just an old fashioned gay witch hunt, it seems.

We do not know if the youngster is male or female. So it is wrong to bring the word 'gay' into it.

I have read as little as possible about this, but correct me if I'm wrong:

Did he make some poor choices in his personal life? It would seem likely.

Did he break the law? Apparently not.

Did his actions compromise his abilities as a journalist? Hardly.

Are there more important things happening in the world, to which media time would be better directed? Absofcknlutely.

[rumncoke]

you are so right BR

but human beings ( especially female ) are really only interest in one thing watching the fall of men due to sexual misbehaviour and the more powerful the man the greater their delight.

Men on the other hand exploit fallen woman .
Which is worst ?

I concur, but would add that in his recent past (ie probably 20 years), he hasn't even needed to be a journalist - just someone who reads what's put on a screen in front of him.

And reads it rather well, I hasten to add - probably because he has a journalistic background and understands how to do these things.

My question now would be why are the BBC investigating what appears to have been a private matter between private individuals, (assuming anything happened at all).

Unless he was abusing BBC property, working time or in any way compromising the Beeb, what has it got to do with them.

Reminds me of a case a number of years ago when a couple of young men, in their own time, in their own property (or one of them anyway) did nothing that a lot of other young men and women didn't do week in week out without any condemnation, but ended up losing their jobs because their employer thought it had something to do with them.

Don't recall the exact details, but do recall that I didn't agree with what those young men got up to, but I defend their right to do it, so long as it was lawful to do so, and from memory, it was shown at the time that no one had broken any laws - except that a young woman probably perjured herself but got away with it, because apparently we don't know who she was either.

If and until the police find that someone broke the law, it's no one else's business.

Perhaps it should be until the court finds ...

As an aside, although it is none of business, I await with ...err... baited breath ... so to speak ... for the first prosecutions under NI's new law, criminalising certain practices between consenting adults. A very unusual peace of legislation in the modern era, I feel.
