Hello MarkyMark
looked at the link, it mentions
“Gunjan Bhow’s Declaration of Personal Interests will be published shortly.” – couldn’t find the date on the page, “shortly” 🙂
After they leave. Shortly.
While we are no nearer learning the identity of the suspected BBC nonce, The Sun have released the first picture of the ‘victim’:
Another complainant against the Presenter. Only a matter of time now ……
‘The individual in their early 20s was first contacted anonymously by the male presenter on a dating app.
They say they were put under pressure to meet up but never did.
When the young person hinted online they might name the presenter, they were sent abusive, expletive-filled messages.
They said the threats made in the messages – which have been seen and verified by BBC News – had frightened then, and they remain scared.’
This absolutely sums up the kind of Lefty who works at the BBC for me. Scratch through the veneer and they quickly turn nasty. I can imagine that behaviour from any of them – especially people like Vile, Lineker and Emily Matiss. Sopes would try but he’s just too stupid.
I’m finding it amusing – and a bit odd – how the BBC are reporting it about themselves as if it’s someone else and nothing to do with them.
alex belfield style stalking then ??
you many years did he get ?
It takes 8,500 license fees to pay for Lineker’s salary at the BBC. That’s roughly the population of the next village to me, perhaps I should put up a poster in the P.O that their community is paying his wages !
Whereas for just 220 license fees (£35,000) you can pay a teenager to perform sexual acts on camera for you. Allegedly.

Do you remember the 90s song “Ironic” by Alanis Morissette? It was criticised because the lyrics didn’t contain any actual examples of irony.
Whether or not this turns out to be ironic remains to be seen.

Worth a quick scope as a few new comments highlight the rampant hypocrisy of BBC staff to their getting what they do all the time.

The ‘voices off’ sounded sadly familiar.
Isn’t it good that Beebonics are now learning the hard way, how proper journalism works to sell ‘news’!
The awful crowd in Beebangham Place are still smarting and having hissy fits after excellent, informative broadcasters like GB News wiped the floor with them at the awards, and the over-paid bunch of ‘presenters’ (autocue-readers/under-managers/diversity officers), couldn’t wait for another story – any story – to try and take over the MSM frenzy!
But nope…
It really has backfired in a nasty, sordid, toxic manner, and as Fed says, we’re in Day 6 of the debacle, which is a lifetime for dreadful scandals like this, and now the commercial rags have turned up some more info, which means that there’s a lot more to come to pile on the misery!
As to be expected, the Beebolic website just ‘quotes’ anodine nothingness to make their taxpayers think they’re on the case, but their ‘reporting’ reminds me of when young kids at school tried to suck up to the teachers when they were caught out breaking the rules!
Brissles, tell your neighbouring village to cancel and we can all visit that pub you recommend, and toast some real journalism!

I also expected that Jo Biden will continue to be President due to DeSantis being found to be missing presumed dead, Trump being imprisoned in Guantanamo Bay and Kennedy being assassinated.
Interesting last para, Richard!
I wonder if the Yanky banks cancel their customers if they’re ‘PEPs’?
Surely they’ve got enough ex-‘presidents’ and other hangers-on over there to sort out and reckon the risk?
Wonder if this person the Beeb is protecting is a mate of Hunter Biden.
BBC deeper and deeper in the mire as more stuff breaks out. Why the hell didn’t they come clean, act like adults and hold up their hands. Now I think they are real deep in poo corner.

Glorious – a whole 12 minutes on c4 comrades News over the Presenter gate ‘crisis’ – even the outgoing PM having to chime in on it .
No mention of the super injunction – which are 2 words the msm don’t seem to use – the absence proves the presence .
A second set of allegations too – glorious – happy 100 years BBC – now die .
Injunction = BBC trying to cover it up.
I don’t recall anyone else getting such benefit of any doubt from the BBC. Just ask Cliff Richard.
How many more nasty perverts are you hiding BBC ?.
Sopes digs deeper.
I have to say that Sopes truly is a first class c0ck. I actually think he is too obsessed and too stupid to realise just how completely lopsided he is.

Basil skirting a line in his desperation.
FakeNews alert : The account Cleese quotes @archer_rs specialises in spoof images and tweets
It blocked me even though I had never mentioned or interacted with it
So the claim that Cleese is retweeting is probably not true
Tim Davy waffled his way through his interview today and wouldn’t or couldn’t explain why his underlings failed in their job to follow through after the initial complaint was made 7 weeks ago. Surely they should get a right bol…king for not doing their job. Not surprised though, if the same calibre of staff is the same as the chinless wonders who pass themselves off as parliamentary secretaries.
Yes the beeb has form when it comes to their stars who create a scandal. Thinking back to Jonathan King who regular had employment in radio then was jailed for 7 years for child sexual abuse, then not forgetting Russel Brand and Jonathan Ross on bbc2 who slagged off on air the granddaughter of Andrew Sachs – took an age for them to sort THAT one out.
Brissles, my dear old thing “then not forgetting Russel Brand and Jonathan Ross on bbc2 who slagged off on air the granddaughter of Andrew Sachs – took an age for them to sort THAT one out.”
Do I recall correctly that smoothed Tim Davie’s route into the D-G’s chair as his predecssor D-G resigned after the Brand/Ross scandal?
Mark Thompson was DG at the time of the Brand/Ross debacle in 2008, but he didn’t resign until 2012 , followed by Hall, then Davie.
Brissles, I’d forgotten Tony? Hall but then he was probably forgettable anyway.
A Vile urge.
Game changer.

The BBC has learnt nothing….
by Robin Aitkin writing in today’s Daily Telegraph.(PDF)
Click to access The-BBC-has-learnt-nothing.pdf
Clearly it’s another hack given a title and sent off to write a story. The BBC has learned quite a lot, one particularly important lesson is that it doesn’t matter how appallingly badly it performs, the money will keep flowing that theh spineless Tories might huff and puff, but that ultimately they are a pack of blowhards and will do nothing.

On more than one occasion, I have woken up with a dream, were a cruse missile blasts into the GCHQ building in Cheltenham.
Now I have received this article from America:
GCHQ routinely shares information with other signatories of the UKUSA agreement, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and USA (The Five Eyes Alliance). This agreement assists all member countries in circumventing laws about spying on their own citizens.
GCHQ spy’s on Americans in exchange for the NSA spying on the British. So not just Bobby Kennedy Junior taking legal action against the BBC, but legal action against Britain & GCHQ from Americans for violating Article 8 of the European Convention of Human Rights. A third of a million people seriously injured by the jab gaslighted by society because of GCHQ. It also reveals that most of the misinformation, malinformation and disinformation on the BBC comes from GCHQ. The BBC lead Trusted News Initiative and now the GCHQ lead “Five Eyes” alliance have actively conspired to aggressively deploy fifth generation warfare “PsyOps” technologies on their respective citizens. GCHQ is in a “public private partnership” with Big Pharma, to make money and call the third of a million people seriously injured by the mRNA jab “Brexit supporting, anti-Semitic, pro Russian, Antivaxer Conspiracy Theorists”
GCHQ is full of traitors loyal to foreign supranational institutions and the CIA.
I don’t know how much of this is true but I think you need to be careful with some of it.
You state “… this article from America:” so presumably what comes after the ‘:’ is a quote or at least a summary / precis. I’d expect “WXYZ spies …” rather than “spy’s” [sic] and “BBC-led” not “BBC lead” [sic] and “WXYZ-led” instead of “WXYZ lead” [sic].
Logically speaking I’m not sure how “legal action … from Americans for violating Article 8 of the [ECHR]” would work, as the ECHR doesn’t cover the USA.
Does WXYZ really lead the Five Eyes? It would more likely be the NSA in the US.
There may well have been gaslighting over harmful effects of the jabs but where would it be done? Is WXYZ the most likely place? Much more likely, in my view, would be Westminster and the BBC.
Maybe I’ve fallen for the propaganda but didn’t Oxford Astra Zeneca’s injection work on DNA, whereas Pfizer BioNTech and ModeRNA were based on mRNA? I’m happy to be corrected.
“Brexit-supporting” is a double-edged slur to deploy as part of PsyOps, given that nearly 51.9% of a 72.2% turnout voted for it in 2016.
Well an injunction has banned the President of the United States from contacting social-media companies and taking specific actions for the purpose Censorship: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.lawd.189520/gov.uscourts.lawd.189520.301.0.pdf
And Robert Malone has also mentioned the article: https://rwmalonemd.substack.com/p/gchq-jtrig-five-eyes-and-covidcrisis
I think it means that GCHQ leads the “Five Eyes” alliance spying on Americans, and the NSA leads the “Five Eyes” alliance spying on Brits from RAF Menwith Hill near Harrogate.
I think the Americans can take legal action against GCHQ for violating Article 8 of the European Convention of Human Rights, as it covers Cheltenham and RAF Lakenheath, RAF Croughton, RAF Welford, RAF Fairford, RAF Feltwell, RAF Upwood, RAF Barford St John, RAF Blenheim Crescent, RAF Fylingdales, RAF Menwith Hill, RAF Mildenhall, RAF Alconbury and RAF Molesworth.
Also there are lots of conventionally armed cruise missiles within the range of Cheltenham, under the control of many nations and probably also private individuals.

Hello Guest
When I click on the twitter link, I get the message
“Something went wrong” – maybe correct if this refer to the likes of the bbc 🙂
Ah… the tweet has been deleted.
Bacon:
Stop it. You’re more emotionally intelligent than this. We don’t know the complexities of what his family are going through. Or what dark thoughts are running through his head. Irrespective of what he’s done wrong. You can walk off people wrongly guessing it’s you for 5?minutes
Vile:
I’m starting to think the BBC Presenter involved in the scandal should now come forward publicly. These new allegations will result in yet more vitriol being thrown at perfectly innocent colleagues of his. And the BBC, which I’m sure he loves, is on its knees with this.
But it is his decision and his alone.

You are correct. Bacon assigning intelligence to Vile, and Vile starting to think are real clues.
Bacon probably deleted the tweet cos of typos
and put up this similar one

VINE saying presenter should come forward, the BBC is on its knees.
TYPICAL of public sector, its always about protecting the institution.
Just so pleased the Vine is becoming more and more involved, through his own actions. He will always be remembered for this.
As for the BBC being on its knees: Good!

We’ve got further claims in the BBC presenter row,
BBC presenter faces new claims about second person
A second person has told BBC News they felt threatened by the presenter at the centre of a row over payment for sexually explicit photos, after they were sent abusive messages. The individual in their early 20s was first contacted anonymously by the male presenter on a dating app. They say they were put under pressure to meet up but never did. When the individual hinted online they might name the presenter, they were sent expletive-filled messages. The individual – who has no connection to the person at the centre of the Sun’s story about payments for photos – said they were left feeling scared by the power the presenter held.

Sopes really helping.
I have watched BBC news for the first time in years. I was horrified,
Edwards, this much loved and widely respected presenter, is the victim of the Sun newspaper
Edwards has been struggling with mental issues for years and will have the sympathy of millions of viewers ( who will now all hate the Sun)
There is nothing criminal in what Edwards has done, the Met say so
The Sun has many questions to answer.
Social media is out of control and must be tamed
The BBC has done a good job
They might even try to have him rehabilitated!

What people need to understand is that this is about what is ‘right’… far, hard, and nothing to do with Huw’s activities.
Today
I think we live in pretty amoral times . So a millionaire broadcaster paying for sexy pictures of a 17 year old and paying to ‘silence ‘ said child – is okay . It’s not criminal – it’s okay – so what’s the fuss?
But the newspaper which put this story out ? Beyond the pale with those weasel ‘questions to answer ‘ line .
It’s okay for said millionaire to tell the nation their monarch is dead – whilst texting a paying 17 year old girl a lot of money for ‘stimulation ‘ .
The link to the Schofield case is now being made . Two ‘legal’ events but which attract the press and big public attention …
How long will the bbc ‘investigation / whitewash ‘ take -? I reckon 2024 …. And published on a busy day when everyone has forgotten .
Who huw get the national news gig back ? Who gets the big ‘state ‘ gigs if he is to spend more time with his family ? Who gets the first picture of huw after his hospital stay ?
It’s all good for those of us who want to destroy the state broadcaster whilst it demands public money and forces you to pay for it or break their law .
I have to say that I think the worst thing any employer could do has now been done by the BBC (not a surprise).
They are inviting nay encouraging all their staff trro come foward and snitch on Huw, not to suggest he did anything that they would have needed to report, but that he gave them “creepy feelings”.
I’m pretty sure this is not legal and that Huw Edwards will gave ground for legal action against the BBC.
Imagine this was you and your bosses were asking all your colleagues for dirt on you in order to justify and cover up their own failings.
Given the number of horrible lefties allowed free rein to attack an older White male they are bound to come up with some irrelevant micro grievance, we all know how ridiculous the “Me Too” movement became.
Then there’s the issue of money, some will make up any old tale if they think there’s a chance they’ll get some money out of it.
I can see this developing into something very nasty for the BBC who have made another shocking howler, and I think the legal settlement is going to run into millions let alone the legal costs.
Thoughful
I know I’m heartless – but the prospect of a civil war within the BBC makes me ‘snigger ‘ ( a bbc word ) and the thought of huw going to court against the BBC ? Even betterer ….
.. and if this ‘affair ‘ remains in the public memory for a long time – even better ….
Attacking on all fronts. If each other.
Also the Moaning Emole…
Huw Edwards in hospital as he is named in BBC presenter row
Huw Edwards has been named by his wife as the BBC presenter at the centre of allegations. In a statement, Vicky Flind said her husband was in hospital with “serious mental health issues” and that she was issuing a statement after days of speculation “primarily out of concern for his mental well-being and to protect our children”. The Sun had claimed Mr Edwards paid a 17-year-old for sexually explicit images, but London’s Met Police says the newsreader will not face any police action. Ms Flind’s statement said Mr Edwards intends to respond to the allegations personally when he is well enough.

Funny how much plod effort went into cakegate but not so much about ‘grooming ? ‘ of a child …….the swamp .. so well named …
Another serious episode in this cheerleadery edition
Perhaps the globalist Financial Times needs to take some time out to rest and recuperate, as readers this morning will have witnessed a sudden crisis of confidence: Is the west’s love-in with Zelenskyy over?
Other spellings are available, although apparently other foreign policies not involving costly and destructive proxy war are not.
Well, perhaps up until now: Britian and US ask Kyiv for ‘a bit of gratitude’ (Guardian); Ben Wallace, the defence secretary, suggested Ukraine was giving its supporters “Amazon-style” wish list of weaponry (Times)
Our ‘gone full Tonto’ Ben recently passed over for the Nato chief job as the Yanks prefer the failed German defence minister now heading the EU. Perhaps this whole proxy war thing was designed from the outset to whip Europe back into line under US leadership? Remember folks, it’s not a conspiracy theory, if it’s true
Of course our western media cares not so much about battlefield failures and casualties as it does about the propaganda effort and we’ll take news of a Ukrainian Eurovision or Wimbledon win over reports of ground and material lost any day of the week: Wimbledon fever builds in Ukraine… National hero Svitolina on brink of final (‘i’)
Well, we don’t have a national hero of own – despite desperate media efforts to create one: Emma Raducanu: Martina Hingis questions career choices of Britain’s former US Open champion… Emma Raducanu has had to sit out this year’s Wimbledon (Sky Sports); Brit woes: No British singles interest in second week of Wimbledon as ‘cheerleadery’ BBC Sport coverage criticised… Brits are given top court billing over more established names as they try to unearth the next Murray or even Emma Raducanu story… “It would reflect far better on the BBC if they got anywhere near as giddy about UK golfers who routinely compete at the top of their sport as they do about tennis players who cannot make week two at Wimbledon. They’re doing the public and sport a disservice.” (Journalist Stuart Fraser quoted by Tennis up to Date)
And sadly, given human nature, it isn’t hard to whip most people up into a mindless frenzy, most of the time: Aryna Sabalenska urged crowds to stop booing Russian and Belorusian tennis players (Telegraph)
You can’t knock a girl when she’s down: … the new Thames Water chairman, was accused of sexism after suggesting that its former boss had quit because she could not cope with the role (Times)
No matter, the formerly patriotic Times simply gushes and cheerleads for the old blue and yellow: Slava Svitolina! Our new tennis crush
Well, at least the Times is honest and owns up about its latest crush – and doesn’t rely on sending the missus out to face the music
Good evening, and here is Huw Edwards with his BBC nine o’clock… nonce…? Well, the cops say not. So let’s just call it kinks…?
Our fav cartoonist Matt in the Telegraph redraws the slogan over Broadcasting House: “Nation shall send explicit photos unto nation”
My husband has serious mental health issues (Daily Mail) – how often has he read us his news headlines excusing certain individuals from protected groups of their bad behaviour on mental health grounds?
Mr Edwards, 61, hailed for his faultless announcement of the Queen’s death last year and coverage of the King’s coronation… ‘….had another serious episode’ (Daily Mail)
It’s left to the Daily Star to call it like it is: Worst kept secret in Britain
Mr AsI distinctly recalls some few years back drawing attention hereabouts to our Huw’s over-heavy use of orange make up. This observation drew criticism in reply from another poster.
Edwards’ wife names him as star in BBC scandal citing fears for his mental health (FT)
Good move – so says the Marks & Spencer advert on the frontpage of the freebie Metro promoting their sports wear – employing three-out-of-five of its models evidently from the same outfit that supplies the vast majority of models in those stock photos supplied to our BBC
Newsreader is being treated in hospital (Times) – not NHS, we’re guessing
Yesterday the BBC came out guns blazing against the Sun: BBC presenter row: Key questions remain for corporation and The Sun (BBC) – Mr AsI could swear that headline was only post hoc edited overnight to include the Beeb in the questions to anwer jibe
Man paid £400K sits in front of camera reading news about abuse and manipulation whilst looking down on you and …. was the story all along.
Thinking about it – this story must run . The amount of money the ‘non victim of crime ‘ will get out of the Daily Mail will be ‘life changing ‘ and surely there must be a ‘bidding war ‘ going on – conducted by her “£legal £ team £’….
I think we can look forward to the ‘expose ‘ this coming weekend ….
Can we have a new ‘PresenterGate ‘ please …?
Prince Andrew was in Pizza hut – not sweating.
This may be a very small take on the issue of HE’s ‘mental issues’, but do you remember a couple of years ago, he was advised to ‘change his hairstyle’, from a normal barnet cut, which late middle-aged men usually have – especially if there’s not a lot left, to a quiff, which exasperatingly enough, looks just like Sukeer’s bonce!
If he’s been a strong family man all these years, and I have no doubt he has, doesn’t it seem a bit odd that at this late stage, he had to reinvent himself?
Did the irritating Beebonic Place want him to sort of ‘get down with the kids’ which they’re trying, (and failing), to attract to their sad little programmes?
To be honest, (you always are, says Senora O’Blene…?), I always thought that up to the ‘change’, he looked like any other normal presenter with a tidy camera place, and some sincerity, but it never came across when he changed all that to an elder kidult style!
I’m probably clutching at straws, but there we are, it’s a comment…
