minor Segue but i thought Murdoch sold Sky a number of years back.

Maybe it turns out he is an evil manipulative nonce ................ once it is proven by the police then throw the book at him. However that still does not excuse the Sun and all this mess. You dont (shouldnt) make outrageous career ending aligations against someone without doing full fact checking 1st and then bank on other people coming out of the woodwork to make your case for you, that is totally not how it should work... even IF sometimes it does actually bear fruit.

Just look at Cliff Richard. they had police choppers decend on him and for what? nothing!.

IF i was in the position perhaps i would feel different, but when it comes to the public shaming i think i would rather be (falsely) accused of murder than noncery to be honest.

I know someone who was accused of rape many years ago.......... now as it transpires the guy was a back stabbing POS ............ but rapist absolutely not, and indeed the girl involved - also a friend of mine at the time as it happens so it was a very horrible time - apologised and said it was a cry for help because she was mentally messed up, but that the bloke in question never even kissed her let alone assaulted her, She backtracked quickly thankfully so it only got out to a few people but he must have felt rotten at the time being questioned .

These People?

Police arent pursuing it, no crime committed apparently, the 'victim' has said the Sun is wrong... The story for me is as much persecution by the press (Sun) and abuse of power of the media as anything else.

Just because there was no crime that had been committed that doesn't mean nothing inappropriate happened. This is what the BBC is investigating and this likely the reason why the mother raised a concern in the first place and now there's been new allegations of inappropriate behaviour as result of the original story.

Tbh, I don't feel comfortable with the BBC doing it's own internal investigation given it's history of cover up's, I would prefer to see this handled by an independant.

If random people on here are willing to excuse and turn a blind then its no wonder there are those in THE BBC that are willing to protects their 'stars'.. sickening.

Yes and some of them are really serious - what's your point? I didn't edit the page - you said what scandals? You'll be excusing Jimmy at this rate..

I asked for actual scandals, you gave me a link to a Wiki page that seems to edited by BBC haters such as yourself.

And you are just further embarrassing yourself by claiming anyone is excusing actual serious law breaking such as Saville.

Is it bad that I don't care about any of this? Can't believe the UK press is so messed up and has to give this so much coverage. Is really a general statement about the state of the UK as a whole I think.

Yeah it's pretty embarrassing - the UK press seems to have spiralled to new lows in recent years. Either they want to cause divides within the general populace that shouldn't really exist or just scare everyone into believing the world is about to end.
Or endlessly force non stories down your throat.

You asked for scandals and I gave you a list - you decided that some aren't serious so therefore none of them are serious - you then created a conspiracy with no evidence. I think you are embarrassing yourself.

Just taking the ones since 2020 (according to the wiki page) - there's 11 of them, which ones in your opinion arent scandals? Whats the 'baseline' for something to be a scandal?
