You mean the same quality newspaper that used to cry for pedophiles to be lynched on Page 1, before introducing us to Nikki, 18 from Basingstoke on Page 3, with her norks out?

Steady on now.
Yup and retaining Sam Fox until she was 16 and drop the tops to get 'em out!

Not me, but it's interesting in that you have to wonder how many perverts are employed there. There seems to be quite a few people saying "Not me guv!" but leaving off the ". . . this time.".

No.

I suspect if they were all put under scrutiny half of them would be found guilty of some sort of grooming or paedo act, i think it must of been part of the interview process in the 80's if you wanted to become a BBC employee!

Only to the extend that we are paying him via TV tax. So he is kind of owned by us all ...

FTFY. :D

There's something about people with a burning desire to be in showbiz (and politics is just showbiz for ugly people). :lol:

And racists and money diddlers.
We almost encourage it in politicians, but they're saved repeatedly by their heavyweight friends and public apathy.

But when that poor Gary Lineker mentions "1930s Germany" ....

A mate just sent me the stuff on that, it's a picture and I can't be arsed to post it. Basically the unnamed presenter meet him on a dating app, took the conversation somewhere else (WhatsApp?) then revealed who he was. Apparently the conversation got quite nasty when it wasn't going his way. BBC have confirmed the chat was from a number owned by the presenter.

It's worth remembering in all this froth that the Super Soaraway Sun is owned by Dirty Digger who is relentless in trying to eliminate state owned, nominally unbiased news sources because they dilute a) his profits and b) his influence.

So, perhaps, before people pile in to do his bidding they might like to put some of his own enterprises and staff under the same sort of spotlight. News UK/International/Corp/NI or whatever they're currently called isn't exactly spotless and aren't exactly agenda free either.

You're far too conciliatory towards that rag, Count Steer...

Absolutely…
As does the newspaper industry and online media. The hypocrisy is outstanding.
But if it’s not government / tax funded , it’s nothing to do with me

Interesting to note that only the nutty loony left want to cancel papers they don't like to read. Democracy isn't a strong point that side of the fence. Rather than challenge, CANCEL!!!!
