PistoldPete Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 56 minutes ago, Chester40 said: Seems to be a lot of odd moral outrage about him 'lying about it', which seems pretty ridiculous. He's hardly going to be honest about doing something that is highly reprehensible behaviour at best! Focusing on him lying and distancing themselves is just a smokescreen by those who colluded to not bring it all into the light, rather than being the actual nub of the matter - which is basically him using his position in a way that is looking worse each day. Imo he resigned precisely because it was all coming out, which is what would have happened if he'd been honest from the beginning! He's an awful lot of things but completely stupid isn't one of them. If you lie to your employer that is breach of trust and effectively of contract. So whatever you think about the morals ( and I think it does make it worse morally) then the employer is perfectly justified in sacking him. In fact they didn’t have any choice.

Whilst the story will become salacious, it’s a typical older man, younger partner work thing. Trouble is, presenters like Schofield adopt a serious-faced judgmental approach to stories like this for a living. The Daily Mail will be priapic for weeks. What a great word! 👍 Thanks for using it... and thanks to Google for telling me what it means. I can see me using this at least three times a week, if only in the office, to make me look intelligent... and there's only two of us in our office! 🤣 Steve How Hard? and AndyinLiverpool 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van der MoodHoover Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 The company I was working for'in the early noughties decided they should introduce some company values. After much focus group work, branding and creative design they came up with Passion Respect Integrity Accountability Pushing beyond boundaries A bit of contrivance led me to the mnemonic PRIAPUS....which as you will have found, lead to a rich source of laddish humour and classic images Wouldn't be allowed these days....🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know. Schofield was sacked once his behaviour became public knowledge. Savile died before his actions became public knowledge. I'm sure the BBC would have terminated any association with him if it was public what he'd done, but I don't think that makes things any better.

And so the cycle continues. Who knows where the cycle started? These are things that keep me awake at night. Mucker1884 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The public was saved by the powers that be at the time, Saville had very powerful associates who may or may not have known of his dark secrets, His presentation by the then Queen saved her from embarrassment.

I have never watched any telly programmes with Schofield in them so I don't give stuff about him. But the way that powerful people can take advantage of their positions and of impressionable and vulnerable young men and women, well I do care about that quite a lot. ariotofmyown and Archied 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
