Jimmy Saville allegations

[Jessie]

I'm far more interested in what the hospitals and children's homes have to say for themselves. BBC is a v easy target for right wing press and its followers.

[Otta]

Agreed Jessie. BBC needs to have a good long look at itself, but the hospitals and care homes are what has really shocked me.

And now a Tory MP from the Thatcher era is in the frame too.

[Jessie]

All those poor kids, both stories and those not in the public domain. It's all so sad.

Mmmmm. Another sacred cow which can,t be criticised without rasing the normal defensive hogwash? Rubbish, it failed miserably and almost systematically for years on the abuse and more recently by , at best, ignoring it. Not the only guilt party but so what.

Should I be disturbed that the number one ring tone on my ringtones app thingy at the moment is the jim'll fix it theme?

Otta,

Not just one top Tory...the rumour mills suggest a clutch.

[Loz]

After quite a bit of searching (certainly more than three minutes), I finally found what I believe is the 'Schofield List'.

Huge. Explosive, even. (If true, of course)

[????]

it's all starting to sound a bit like the Cleveland Satanic Ring thingy to me now...apparently the main accuser has some form. An enquiry is needed for absolutely clarity and to punish any wromg doers but I feel there is the potential wiff of Conspiracy Theory plus all tories are scum about this if I am honest....

[El Pibe]

Definitely ignoring this. Ooh, did you hear about the affair between Jemima Khan and Jeremy Clarkson......quite!!!

[first mate]

And yet truth is sometime much stranger than fiction. It's not only Tories in the frame.

...and there we have it. Schofield should resign and this shows the bad side of the internet, people tweeting sh!t based on their own prejudices, and it will still carry on for days....

[????]

..of course the BBCs not at all left leaning (cough). Broadcasting completley unsubstantiated shit with huge political implications isn't that far from hacking personal phone lines. If I was McAlpine I'd be going for millions and Schofield should apologise on air to the PM

[StraferJack]

What does schofield have to do with bbc?

[????]

er, exactly where did I see he does? He should apologise.

The BBC should hang its head in shame.

Don't clutch at straws - your supposed liberal champions have proved as corrupt/incompetent as the dreaded Murdoch lot

[StraferJack]

"My"

Oh dear. Careful dear

Anyone remember last week when the beeb were the bad guys because news night would not name the accused? But they held firm

[????]

Go on their (BBC) own website and look right now. Don't take the words of a fascist like me.....

Incompetent/bias disgraceful journalism by a publicly funded body.

[Otta]

Sorry but who is Schofield? (just looked at bbc but didn't see his name)

[Jeremy]

[Jeremy]

Kind of a cross between Tom Daley and The Karate Kid.

[Otta]

Haha, had just realised that Quids meant that Schofield. But he works for ITV.

[????]

Er, no, I meant both if you look at my op and response to Straefer

[Otta]

Sorry Quids, but it wasn't very clear. I hadn't heard about the This Morning thing with Philip Schofield, and when I looked at your link it didn't mention him, that's why I was confused.

Anyway, I agree that he should at very least make an apology (as should his show producers), very misguided!

RE The BBC, obviously big errors have been made, but I'm not sure where the political bias you talk about is. They have made a huge hash of this though, particularly after last week, I am very surprised that anything on this subject was allowed to air without the green light from the very top, which I suspect it never had.

[uncleglen]

I think he looks more like Jim Carey- and he eats guinea pigs! What's the point- there must be less meat on them than a rabbit?

[silverfox]

He should have resigned.

It took him just over three minutes to find the list of names online and, as a so called professional, it appears he didn't actually do any further research into these allegations/rumours.

Question, why pay him more than ?15,000 a year on such evidence? A trainee would't have done any worse.
