          I was a member of The Japanese Society in town some years ago, and spent the whole day bobbing and diving, but eventually found that most of the guests and members were free-loaders from all the banks and insurance companies, who were there to catch up on all of their mates on expenses!

          Needless to say…

    Apparently the Syrian government has revoked the BBC’s accreditation, meaning that BBC journalists (sic) will not be able to work legally in Syria. They are accused of ‘providing politicised and misleading reports’ in the country, and the Syrian Ministry of Information alleged that the BBC ‘has deliberately provided, from time to time, subjective and false information’.

    Question: Shouldn’t the BBC be banned in the UK on the exact same basis?

    Being very careful what I write, I feel very sorry for the mother of the young person involved in these BBC allegations. I am not sure about the person themselves. Once any sort of activity had taken place even once, the BBC bod concerned would have been ripe for blackmail. That may not be what had happened. How did the two people meet and how were they in a place where they thought they would be unobserved, although the mother walked in?

    I think funding someone’s crack cocaine habit is the most concerning. I understand that cocaine is rife through certain echelons of society, but not those I mix with. I wouldn’t have a clue where to acquire either sort. Perhaps cocaine use is just considered so acceptable at the BBC, that its use by a young man wasn’t considered that bad.

    But if the BBC person has a wife and children, I feel very sorry for them too. The BBC’s person’s name is bound to come out although there is one name that is consistently being suggested on other sites and if I can find that name fairly easily, then so can the person’s children.

    I notice that after a few BBC names came out yesterday to say it wasn’t them, that appears to have stopped. I wonder who has put a stop to it.

      My guess is, it’s a family of Roma Big Issue beggars, who initially latched onto to the *star* outside a Marks and Spencers.
      Crack cocaine story is merely embroidery to distract from their lavish lifestyle funded via this BBC cash cow.
      I’ve got a feeling it’s going to be David Attenborough, he’s a 60 year veteran, who like the rest never outed Saville.

        Eddy, it is a presenter, which implies to me a regular spot ‘presenting’ a programme. Attle bunger is an occasional programme maker. And I’m sure Fed and the web-site owner will be happier if we don’t speculate about the person on this web-site.

    On the BBC the metroliberal producers get to choose the guests
    thus the progs push metroliberal agendas all the time
    The R4 Book Prog now
    – Orangeman Bad “Trump is not only a bad man , but a mad man”
    – Oilman Bad “we will need oil a bit as we transition to NetZero that most of us support
    – Novelist writing about Sudan

    That first author Richard Ford is a well known hater of Trump
    .. probably why they invited him on
    – Likewise they love an author that will smear the oil industry and one that supports Sudan

    Tobias Ellwood leading the HoC in Ukraine:

    Cannon to right of them,
    Cannon to left of them,
    Cannon in front of them
    Volley’d and thunder’d;
    Storm’d at with shot and shell,
    Boldly they rode and well,
    Into the jaws of Death,
    Into the mouth of Hell
    Rode the six hundred.

    BBC suspends presenter over explicit images claims
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-66147560

    Now I’ll be honest about this. Just like partygate, I don’t give a flying f*ck about the story because in the scheme of everything else, it’s background noise which someone somewhere with their own agenda has made into the top news story in the world. It stinks.

    But what has really got my attention is how EVERYBODY in the media is protecting whoever did it and whoever the ‘victim’ is.

    Every single article on the subject is carefully worded not to give away the gender of the ‘victim’. And even though everyone in the media clearly knows, nobody is telling us who it is in the BBC.

    I find this astonishing. They MUST be all in it together. So much for the backbone of democracy : the free press. How on earth has this happened ?. Did the BBC email everybody ?. Or is there some higher level arbiter we don’t know about who decides what we are told ?.

    The first thing I thought when I realised the BBC are keeping the ‘star’ AND the gender of the victim quiet was how they never afforded such consideration to Cliff Richard when they accused him of child abuse before the police had even got into his house.

    The media are now utterly unfit for purpose – particularly the BBC. They are the reason our democracy has failed (see ‘Brexit’). They are supposed to be the ultimate check-and-balance. The concept of ‘Journalistic ethics’ is a complete joke. They have none. They are all activists now.

      I suppose it’s inevitable that the UK media wouid behave like the docile democrat media – but I’m surprised it hasn’t leaked somewhere – although saying that perhaps there is the smell of a super injunction .
      But now that plod is involved it normally leaks for a price ….

      New thread time …

        Exactly. A super injunction, although in these days of the internet it will surely creep out.

      There might well be some kind of legal requirement for them to keep quiet until charges of some kind are brought. So far as I am aware the victim is male and the mother appears to be either after money or perhaps has been blackmailing the man.

      She has complained the man sent money, but how does tens od thousands of pounds get transferred to a minor without the collusion of an adult? Minors cannot have a bank account and the amounts being discussed here are not small.

      The parent claims the son used the money to buy crack cocaine, but again doesn’t say how he managed to get hold of so much cash.

      The amount being alleged was £35K which appears an awful lot for a few seedy photos and even a scene getting undressed on video is an enormous amount of money.

      I think there is an awful lot more to this than has been disclosed, and at this stage I have some grave reservations over the story this parent has told, and it isn’t the ‘victim’ who has complained so there is every chance it is an attempt to get money from someone which has gone further than they expected.

    First post here in a loooong time due to personal issues.

    For those of you wondering about the identity of the mystery man at the centre of the recent BBC scandal…..

    Here are a few clues from Matthew Steeples on a recent podcast…

    * “Very senior presenter”
    * “Works behind a desk”
    * “Not a weatherman”
    * “Wales will be reeling”
    * “Commentated on the Coronation”
    * “Well known Christian”
    * “Has been open about suffering from depression”

    Haven’t bothered reading the news reports but according to Steeples the victim is a 17yo girl, not boy. (Not that it makes any difference, it’s all very sordid regardless).

    He also claims that the BBC will release a statement, supposedly tomorrow, which will be preceded by a statement from the accused. He claims his source is a well known female presenter working in the BBC.

    Is it true? I’ve no idea but thought I’d put it out here for others to judge.
