Are you pretending that Trump isn't being stitched up? A judge whose self pronounced ambition is to get Trump? Give it a rest man. Of course he isn’t being stitched up. He is being tried and will have every opportunity to present his defence. When and how has any of the Judges involved pronounce they wish to get Trump? I think you are swallowing too much Trump bs. Any Judge making such a statement would have to recluse themselves or they would be removed from the case. It’s impossible.

BBC Reporter keeps job after exposing himself. Well if it's good enough for John Barrowman, Saville, Hall etc. Of course in the real world the rest of us would have been sacked. Typical Mail! If you read the actual story rather than just the headline it seems that as no official complaint was made no official action took place, or could have taken place. Reading between the lines it seems probable that a line manager intervened and instructed an apology, after which nothing more happened. I am not excusing the behaviour at all but unless an employer has something substantial to investigate, rather than just rumour or tittle tattle, they won’t. If they did it would open too many opportunities to the malicious.

Some of the other scandals at the BBC might not have gone on as long had staff felt confident in reporting what was happening to senior management.

However the article clearly states that the man apologised for his behaviour ergo he did it. The BBC has not denied the incident just the usual word salad. If that had happened in my place of work HR would have called both parties separately to find out what was going on. Conveniently the BBC choose to ignore it. Based on the BBC's previous history of cover up I don't blame the victim for not wanting to go through official channels. The point of the article is that the BBC yet again failed to act. If there was nothing to the story they still failed to investigate and clear the man.

I agree but you are banging your head against a wall
Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance. |

Trump has been found guilty by this judge before the trial even started. You know it, I know it. Everyone knows it.

when you see a spoilt child, having another strop. Look to the parents that allowed it all in the first place.
What a daft analogy. Frequently children having a strop in public are doing so due to a medical condition which is hardly the parents' fault

That alone ought to be enough. Who knows what really happened? Nobody here does, that’s for sure. Trying to find yet another reason to bash the BBC is all that’s on offer here. The Mail has an anti-BBC agenda and is looking for any opportunity, however ridiculous, to undermine them.

Trump and his legal team have every opportunity to mount a defence and, in the very unlikely, event of a Judge being politically compromised would be able to appeal and quite possibly see them disbarred. Your, and others, ability to see conspiracies everywhere knows no bounds.

I guess that in your day, everyone just believed everything they were told.

That’s rich coming from someone with feet of clay as heavy as yours are. I am as well tuned in to the modern world as any of my age. I don’t believe everything I am told. Especially in places like this by people like you. I believe sources I have good reason to trust, and not those who just confirm biases.

That alone should ring some alarm bells. Most people on planet earth know that Trump is being persecuted for political reasons. How's that Biden administration going for you?

On what information do you base your opinion of their apparent behaviour? The report in the Mail? A prejudicial opinion of the BBC? They may have had any of a variety of reasons not to have reported it.
