Philip Go-field

It's making me really uncomfortable that GB News are all over this.

[DCI Harry Batt]

Are there other allegations about Schofield?

[3 Colours Red]

uncomfortable... GB News...

Yeah, that'll happen.

[Satchmo Distel]

There's a Twitter video of outtakes in which the young man is doing mock interviews with Holly and Phillip. Which suggests it was an open secret to the whole production team.

The big take away, I guess, is how to support whistleblowing in all walks of life, especially employment and education. There must be a secure and safe way for whistleblowers to share their concerns which are neither brushed under the carpet nor triggers a nuclear response option. But sadly, they seem to be the reactions to whistleblowing and those reactions are based upon how much financial damage is caused to an institution.

Do you have a link to this because I can't find it?

Actually, that's not the video I'm referring to, someone has put up a collage with other interviews including the young man and Holly, but it starts with the video above. Tbh, I'm not so cool linking to Twitter accounts that are clearly conspiracy theorists/homophobic/right-wing.

Just checked, the collage is the youtube video, turns out its his showreel.

A similar story has emerged in the BBC today, but again for legal reasons, best not to comment further.

[Satchmo Distel]

Somewhat ironic the The Sun is running a scandal about paying for naked photos of a 17 year old.

[Antepli Ejderha]

The BBC has now suspended the man. With all the speculation about his identity, which has lead to defamation of a number of individuals online, surely the BBC would be better off naming this person.

And the victim blaming is something else. This person was a 17 year old child at the time.

[Snake Plissken]

As someone else pointed out, it took the BBC longer to suspend this person than it took them to suspend Gary Lineker for saying something on his personal Twitter account the Government didn’t like.

[Patrick Thistle]

Meanwhile the BBC has dropped its Panorama show about sex predators in Parliament from the schedules.

[Guy Profumo]

"Can they tell who it is yet?"

[Patrick Thistle]

If it's a certain person that's very prominent in Twitter accusations I'm going to be really disappointed.

[Walt Flanagans Dog]

I'd suggest saying as little as possible about this, even in jest.

[ad hoc]

Yes this

I'm led to believe there are sound legal reasons why the BBC haven't named the employee as yet and it certainly seems the common sense approach too.

[ursus arctos]

Absolutely

Lawyers have already been instructed with regard to some of the social media speculation

[Satchmo Distel]

Post has been deleted.

[My Name Is Ian]

Twitter today feels like a collective attempt to commit the most defamation in one 24-hour period. Even if it does turn out to be one of those whose names keep on trending, all the others would have actionable claims against those who are getting a little overheated with their Defund The BBC opinions.

[Patrick Thistle]

[Discordant Resonance]

Why is "RS Archer" still tweeting when he's been debunked as a fake on multiple occasions now?

[ursus arctos]

Have you been on Twitter since Elmo took over?

[caja-dglh]

Nothing like the ridiculous "it is a distraction from something happening which wouldn't be a news event anyway". A deadline to hand over documents. Sure that would have been front page.

[Lang Spoon]

Not everything is a conspiracy. There's also usually a big time difference between the deadline for an inquiry receiving documents and those docs then being published.

[Lang Spoon]

Has "Jonathan Pie" decoupled from the Spiked wanker who was scripting the lines, or is this grifting both sides of the culture war?

[ursus arctos]

Today's edition of The News Agents (with a long interview with a former editor of The Sun) is good on this
