TIGHTCHOKE Posted June 2, 2023 Report Share Posted June 2, 2023 Gordon Bennett, what a palava, he got it wrong on so many levels and now he is trying to paint himself as the victim of social media. The BBC interview really let him get it off his chest and then he starts to blame people and virtually threaten suicide. What an absolute shower of a human being!

I'm reminded of the quote from Sir Walter Scott's work - “Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minky Posted June 2, 2023 Report Share Posted June 2, 2023 For many years I said to the Mrs that Philipe was a wrongun. I never liked him, BUT that aside he is in a terrible situation now. It is very difficult for US to know what the real truth is... what is truth. I don't think that there was a underage grooming session because the young bloke was 20 when he came to work for the bbc. Any contact before that was him asking Schofield advice on how to get into television via twitter. It is a silly situation where if it had been a young woman.... wrong that it would have been towards his wife, most people would be of the opinion of ,,,,, Get in there my son and fill yer boots. ,,,, that's my boy.!! WHAT I DO FIND A BIT UNTASTEFULL is the fact that all of his so called friends and work mates have all turned on him to save there own misserable skins using the feble excuse of HE LIED TO ME. WAS THERE ANY REQUIREMENT FOR HIM TO TELL ANYONE ABOUT HIS PERSONAL, PRIVATE LIFE.? Does anyone on here tell their friends, workmates, family about their private sex life.? After all what they were doing wasn't illegal. And before the public inquisition takes place where is there any evidence to the contrary. I still don't. Iike the bloke though. Todays headlines = tomorrow's chip wrapping paper. It could be that some of these so called friends and work mates are up to the axles and are trying to distance themselves from being looked at. Would you want any of them standing in the ranks next to you in a war.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are three answers if asked. Two are 'right' and one is badly wrong; Tell the truth - RIGHT Tell them it's none of their business - also RIGHT Tell lies - WRONG He chose to do the wrong thing by lying (and some accounts say also encouraged the other party to lie as well). It seems to me that he probably did nothing illegal (assuming his account can be believed this time). But he did plenty 'wrong' in lying to his employer, colleagues and friends and they may well not accept anything from his now as 'truthful' given his past record. The problem is that there needs to be an element of trust with both colleagues and employers which being a proven liar rather removes - and conducting your life in a way that many will "not be comfortable with" will cause troubles - especially for public figures in the media spotlight.

London Best Posted June 2, 2023 Report Share Posted June 2, 2023 The TV luvvies were all up in arms about it when it was reported, but I think Uganda has just passed a sensible law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted June 2, 2023 Report Share Posted June 2, 2023 I’m not too sure what all the fuss is about really. He deceived his wife and lied to people regarding an affair, which happens on a daily basis all over the world. The only question is, was the person he was having an affair with underage? He says not. Time will no doubt tell. 6 minutes ago, London Best said: The TV luvvies were all up in arms about it when it was reported, but I think Uganda has just passed a sensible law. Jesus h!

Not many people would go into bat for millionaire TV stars ferrying young easily-influenced men around in company taxis to and from their flats. Takes all sorts I guess. The point is: Legal, consensual or not, there are clear rules around senior people in an organisation – and yes that includes the ‘talent’ – having affairs with junior ranks. Most organisations view this as a serious disciplinary issue. For this reason alone he should’ve been sacked as soon as senior management got confirmation it was the case. It now appears it that not only were ITV management aware, it was yet another ‘open secret’ that journalists were unable to publish due to legal concerns. Fortunately ITV doesn’t receive taxpayer funding so they are quite free to destroy themselves. Broadcast TV is all but dead to the younger generations anyway. 9 minutes ago, Scully said: I’m not too sure what all the fuss is about really. The affair isn't the issue, it's the culture at the top of one the UK's established broadcasters letting talent do what they like and screw everyone else. So to speak.

So to speak. The affair was the issue in the BBC interview I watched; how they met, when it first started and how old was the boy at that time, how old was he when they first had sex, did he groom him. Only one reference to his employers and as whether they were aware of it, which Schofield said not to his knowledge. I’ve no doubt ITV, if aware, were also very aware of not wanting to lose their golden boy and the ratings he and his co-host commanded, very similar to the BBC and their ‘look the other way’ attitude towards Saville, although in Schofields case there is so far no case of anything illegal. Plenty of accusations mind you, but that’s par for the course. Like I said, time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
