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?
I agree re. Philip Scofield.
Plus there's a more than a whiff of homophobia about his trashing. It's all very Brexity.
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?
Pip can play as many cards as he likes, however, what he doesn't like is that now he is being judged by the same set of standards he judges others by.....
anyone remember this? He got into a spot of bother after pulling this stunt....
Now, he's one of those names on someone else's piece of paper.

He's also saying that ITV should have done a better job of investigating in 2020 when the allegations first surfaced. Er, no, Phil, you should have told the truth

Nothing to do with his sexual preferences; it's all to do with yet another celebrity that has admonished the behaviour of others whilst doing the exact same thing themselves. Funnily enough the public don't like that.
And before anyone says he mad a mistake and deserves a second chance, no he doesn't. As soon as you put yourself into the position of judging others, you better be squeaky clean yourself.

The people he’s interviewed over the years weren’t forced to come on the show and I’m assuming (I’ve never watched the show as I have a job) the guests in question would have been well aware of the questions before hand.

Having the bible as a piece of literature is perfectly acceptable, having it a source of moral guidance is another thing altogether.
There’s plenty good moral guidance in the Bible. Luckily, we have the critical mind of the homo sapiens and can read the mad content of the Bible without imitating it.

That's not the point. He has spent many years chastising others for cheating, lying, etc, yet he's done this his entire life.
If his career was a chat show host, and hadn't done the moral questioning, this would be a non event.

The only reason the bible is the 2nd worst source for moral guidance, is because the koran holds the #1 spot.

Based on the behaviour of the current mainstream religions I would probably dispute that assertion.
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'm starting to realise I'm a right bad un. Sometime ago I confessed to owning a gollywog. Now my sin is owning not one but two copies of the bible. What's worse is that I've read it.

There's my biggest transgression. I judge people all the time. For some people my decision is that they're not very nice and for others I decide they are . I expect people to judge me, too. Otherwise, how would they know I'm wonderful?

Me too, cover to cover. At some point between the covers you should have a "Hang on a fucking minute..." moment

I’ve seen the Black and White Minstrels’ live gig.
