Former BBC producer escapes jail term.

[Stick Legs]

For me this has to represent some kind of watershed moment for the BBC.

If you watch BBC news you’d think the only things happening in the world today are unvaccinated Tennis stars, Prince Andrew & Downing street parties.

Meanwhile Russia is on the brink of invading Ukraine & this odious individual escapes jail & it doesn’t get mentioned at all.

Former BBC producer, worked on Newsnight & Panorama had 800 child abuse images on his computer, also found with Stun Guns & CS Gas in his possession.
Escapes jail as he is frail at 75.

So that’s OK then. FFS.

Normal for BBC.

Eh?

They come in all walks of life. Using this as a means of attacking the BBC is a bit, you know, sad. For you.

[Stick Legs]

I should clarify it wasn’t mentioned at all on the TV.

It seems strange that he escapes jail because he's frail, yet it seems fairly normal if you just have pictures on your computer to end up with a suspended sentence.
We've had two cases in work, one last week and one a few years ago, on both ended up doing suspended sentences/community service and a fine.

When a teacher at my old school was convicted of a similar offence it wasn’t mentioned on the TV either, it isn’t really worthy of the national news as dozens of such offences are convicted every week, you just want to have a go at the BBC.

They come in all walks of life but the BBC seems to attract them.

Please spare us one of your boring two page anecdotes. They're a bit, you know, sad. For you. (sic)

Do you think it should be?

There are thousands of court cases every day and abhorrent as this one is it's probably pretty minor in the league table of sick st that goes through the courts.

Doesn’t surprise me.

They had a CBeebies presenter dress up in a Jammy Saville tracksuit on yesterday.

Oh, it “seems to”.

What a brilliant level of analysis and evidence to state it’s ‘normal’ for the BBC

Why did the BBC commission a statue of a naked boy in the first place?

[Ouroboros]

No issues with commissioning statues by wrong uns, so par for the course really.

This is Gill’s statue from 1933. Where it wasn’t really known until the late 1980s about his diaries?

You simpletons.

Who know's who knew at the time?

Not really simpleton thinking is it, to think the BBC might attract wrong'uns.

Even after 30 years after it was made public what an abhorrent person he was, the statues still stand.

Yet Jimmy Saville, statues down with in days, history was rewritten quicker than Katie Price's knickers falling down...yet everyone is a simpleton, take a look in the mirror maybe?

The BBC has history in all this type of stuff.

Does that mean it wasn't on ITV or Sky News either?

here’s a debate to be had there about separating the art from the artist.

Yet you called everyone a simpleton that disagree with your viewpoint, smarts aren't you thing it seems.

I think you need to work on why you think this is a BBC issue rather than a societal one.

Or maybe GB News covered it?

if somebody commits a crime that has nothing to do with their Employer, what does it have to do with the Employer?

I thought given it was one of their own it may warrant reporting.

It’s absolutely a societal issue.
And I get that the majority would rather froth over tennis or Prince Andrew than Ukraine.

However I am surprised that when the BBC went guns blazing for Cliff Richard that this never even got a mention.

I’m far from some crazed right wing anti-BBC loon.

I just thought it was conspicuous by it’s absence.
