The Sun has already interviewed the victims mother. It can only be a matter of hours before the presenter is named and put in the public domain. Why the BBC are investigating this is slightly bemusing. A corrupt organisation investigating itself ? It should be a police matter Holly Willoughby has issued a statement saying “she didn’t have a clue” just in case Edited by Forest Hillbilly (09 Jul 2023 5.22am) I disengage, I turn the page.

Apparently we are being told that BBC presenters exist who aren't actually sex offenders.....but they are trying to keep that quiet. From what I'm hearing about who it is, if that's true, they won't be singing in the valleys when they hear it. 'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.'

I see the Ex Chairman of the BBC is suggesting the licence fee be replaced with a tax based on earnings. That will not go down well, I already pay far too much for a service I don't really use and now rather than abolish the licence fee they want to allow other people to drink on my wallet.

I haven't read this, but he can only mean general taxation. You couldn't possibly set up and run a separate earnings-related charging system merely to collect about £4bn a year as it would cost far more than that to operate. It would be madness. Your gripe about having to pay for something you "don't really use" applies, of course, to everything paid for through taxation. For example, people who have no children pay fortunes in tax so that other people's sprogs can receive an education opportunity that many of them then squander. The list of examples is endless.
