I dunno about the whole Schofield thing, sure he was reputed to be a bit of a cunt off screen and there's a certain karma about his rather spectacular fall from grace, but the whole affair thing between 2 consenting adults should be their own business surely?
Clarkson chinned someone in the crew over a sandwich and he's considered a national treasure, Schofield wears the bumming hat and he's public enemy no.1?

At best it harks back to casting couch days, at worst the 'adult' part is questionable.

Phillip Schofield dropped as Prince's Trust ambassador.
ITV said it was "deeply disappointed by the admissions of deceit" made by Schofield and confirmed it had cut all ties with the host.
Schofield was also dropped by his talent agency YMU.

No but yeah but Clarkson is still a cnut. The population has a tendency to say one thing ( be-kind / don't-bully / live-and-let-live) and do another ( say-what-you-mean / he-probably-deserved-it ). Clarkson says the things we want to hear "I hate Meghan and Harry" but in the wrong way "I want to shame a naked Meghan in the street hah-ha" because it's only a joke. Stuart Lee (don't start) has a great sketch where he imagines wishing Clarkson's daughters had gone blind, because "it's only a joke". Clarkson says the stuff most of us think. Like Boris - bit of a cnut, doesn't play by the rules, brilliant bloke.
I dunno why the nation hates Schofield. If you had avoided morning TV and Saturday night TV - possibly the best sort of TV to miss FFS - you could have been blissfully unaware of his existence. So obviously this brimming hatred has been a festering boil on the soul of all deadzone TV lovers for decades. Too good to be true. And yet he won award after award, year after year after year. Has he actually done any crimes? So far all I can glean, from the bombardment of hatred in the media, is that he told a couple of whoppers and his pissed off Eamon Holmes.

Why do we dislike him (hate is too strong a word), and laugh at his fall from grace? It's simply because he's sat on the sofa of TM, for many years, and ripped into may a person for lying, bad behaviour, cheating on their partners, and generally taking the higher moral ground. And yet he was doing all those things throughout his marriage to his wife, and further still with the latest news.
I laughed at the irony when I read that Alison Hammond had tried to defend him from the criticism he's faced, by saying "let he who is without sin cast the first stone." How very apt, and if only Phil had followed that advice before becoming the moral judge of people's actions on TM.
A school district in the US state of Utah has removed the Bible from elementary and middle schools for containing "vulgarity and violence".
The move follows a complaint from a parent that the King James Bible has material unsuitable for children.
Utah's Republican government passed a law in 2022 banning "pornographic or indecent" books from schools.
Most of the books that have been banned so far pertain to topics such as sexual orientation and identity.
The banning of the Bible comes amid a larger effort by US conservatives in states to ban teachings on controversial topics such as LGBT rights and racial identity. Bans on certain books deemed offensive are also in place in Texas, Florida, Missouri and South Carolina. Some liberal states have also banned books in some schools and libraries, citing perceived racially offensive content.

I agree re. Philip Scofield.
Plus there's a more than a whiff of homophobia about his trashing. It's all very Brexity.

FFS. The world is going mad! I mean, I'm not so keen on the sort of religious education that I was subjected to - up to age 11 = catholisicm is the only religion all others are bad : after 11 CofE/christianity is the important thing to learn.
But to ban an ancient book because it doesn't 'fit' with modern views is a bit mad, no??

I'd like to think it's a secular move to tone down religious nutjobs but as it's specifically the King James version I suspect the opposite is true and a Catholic group want rid of the closest opposition.

More or less mad than banning modern books on the same grounds? Law of unintended consequences innit. Religious conservatives want certain books and ideas banned from schools, the law which allows that also allows you to ban the Bible

Homophobia, mental health, bullying.
How many victim cards can he roll out at once? He's probably looking for a racism angle in there as well.
Anything to detract from him being a dirty old man abusing his position, or should we turn a blind eye for gays?

Given that it's Utah, it might be a Mormon...
I can't understand why they think the book may be unsuitable for young minds...

About time.
Having the bible as a piece of literature is perfectly acceptable, having it a source of moral guidance is another thing altogether.
