I agree with you that he must have a fair trial. Of course. But I also agree with those who say nobody has said he must have done it. But lots of people have said that they don't like him. I used to feel a bit sorry for him and now I don't like him. His comments about 'a certain type of middle...

One of my female colleagues was treated so badly by her 'senior' female colleagues she has left her job. She called it 'women punching down'. An extremely talented researcher and gifted teacher, now progressing her career at a different London university.

Illustrates why I have the old loose cannon on ignore.

There are eejits everywhere. But it isn't a conspiracy.

Do you have any examples (of the way that social change has generated unreasonable intolerance)? I can't think of any.

😣😳

Dagenham? Surely not all the way to Southend? :ohmy:

I suspect he will simply double down. Again. Please don't portray him as a victim. He's an arse. He had a window of opportunity but instead of slipping quietly through it with an apology, he has sellotaped a bit of old paper with 'f*** off, I am right' written in felt pen to it. Silly man.

Nicky Campbell has a phone in on this now. He has just replayed his handful of middle class women jibe. Kirsty Alsop nicely explaining power imbalance and inappropriate behavior, and the ickiness of baldy's lewd comments about his own wife after she left the room. Next up a Masterchef...

Whatabout the Labour meltdown? Or is that local news, relevant only in Mile Oak? Seriously, the day one starts getting bemused or even agitated by the choices different media outlets make in their coverage (unless for purposes of low comedy) to the point of making value judgements about...

The implication from saying there are more important things is that people should focus on the important things and, by default, shut up about this silly old fool. In other words, we should shut up. We will, I'm sure. But there is still mileage to be had. I for one will enjoy the narrative...

I just had three!

Alan Green. Allegedly 'difficult'. Contract not renewed. Missed greatly by me.

Is there something not in the BBC splash? If it is still rumour then it isn't anything one would wish to discuss. (I was told that by someone in the know but I can't say why).

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cd7n1e8n721o Unless the current allegation smoke out others who have more serious issues, he has 'merely' been a tedious inappropriate arse. But given how previous characters have got away with shocking abuse while the employer turned a blind eye, one can...
