You can predict away all you like, I simply don't care. It's when you start stating that **** as fact that the problems will arise.

Some gymnastics there, the comment clearly voiced his disappointment it wasn't Andy Peters, it's pretty much the opposite of an accusation lol

I don't think it's mental gymnastics, it's just complete lack of reading ability and thought processing.

Nothing sadder than an argument on the internet.

Source? I'm pretty sure that's defamation.

Obviously you are entirely within your rights to disagree. You're also wrong.I disagree

Has anyone created a guess who version of this yet?

How could anyone reach a point in their life where they experience disappointment in the knowledge that a person on the TV wasn't outed as a sexual predator - and then proceed to "out" that person as a homosexual in some sort of chronically outdated form of solace.
Jesus wept.

I think there's a game of Pervle in one of the other threads, like wordle, curdle, Nurdle and other daily quizes.
Might have already been said, but on Twitter there's one name being mentioned noticeably more than any other, with people saying he's recently stopped tweeting, hasn't denied anything, was at the award ceremony in question, and hasn't been on air recently.

Interesting stuff on BBc (link came from a law teacher who said it was a good summary)
"Anyone speculating today on social media about the identity of the presenter should think very, very carefully about the consequences. They could be sued for the harm they cause and financially ruined.
An innuendo can be just as catastrophic to reputation.
Ten years ago, Sally Bercow, wife of the then Speaker of the House of Commons, had to pay damages to the late Lord Robert McAlpine, a Conservative peer.
The High Court ruled that one of her tweets - which did not name the peer - had wrongly suggested he was a paedophile.
The risks don't end there, thanks to a 1986 case that leaves bona fide trained journalists with the shivers.
Back then, a newspaper reported an allegation that a detective in Banbury's CID unit had raped a woman.
It did not name the detective. But the unit only comprised 12 officers. Members of that group successfully sued, saying enough people knew who they were to assume that they might be the guilty party.
So even if a news organisation chooses not to name the presenter, they could inadvertently implicate an entirely innocent colleague."

Why isn't BBC presenter being named by the media?
The corporation is investigating claims a presenter paid a teenager for sexually explicit photos.

Gag orders abound. Here's one from a couple of weeks back, gagging the BBC from naming a high profile individual who has been a very naughty boy, allegedly.
