I think this Scofield stuff is a bit of an overreaction. Unless/till something more salacious and concrete comes out, unapologetically branding the bloke a nonce is bullshit. I agree, while also finding it suspect that if it was indeed all above board as two consenting "adults", why the guy he had a relationship with hasn't released the most basic of statements to salvage Phils career. That he hasn't done this while long term colleagues suddenly fall over themselves to distance themselves from a "consenting adult relationship" screams payoff to me.

It's all really confusing, they're talking about it like we all know everything (with some implication that a massive crime has happened) but we categorically don't.

All the “evidence” suggests he’s groomed him. It’s not hard to believe that’s what’s happened. But until it’s actually somehow official it feels wrong to treat him like a criminal.
And again, there are plenty of extremely bad faith actors involved.

Yeah, but there's also an element of Scofield fronting a squeaky-clean show that ITV has poured tens, if not hundreds of millions into, which continues to be their daytime cashcow. They're going to try cover their arses with NDAs and whatever, which does look suspect, but they've built this brand over decades, so they're not about to freely allow some nooky in the dressing room to get splashed all over the tabloids and fuck it all up. Phil is gone - fired. They have no reason to protect him, only the reputation of the show. Which obviously isn't working, but damage control rarely works. Streisand effect is nigh impossible to NDA away, especially when everyone has their knives out.

I didn’t even know all this was swirling around him. I used to think he seemed like a good guy / came across like not a Hollywood cunt when he was younger. Another one bites the dust then.

That was so fucking weird. And kind of shows the bubble these people are living is. Like This Morning is SO fucking fundamental that the entire nation is traumatised by these events. Fuck off.

I like to believe the 'Deep breath' bit was on the prompt but not what she was supposed to say out loud. But hasn't he got a court injunction in place to stop anything else being released?

I read around the time that he was dropped and this was all starting to trickle out that the injunction was due to run out in July and that this was all starting to kick off in anticipation of everything coming out soon. No idea whether that is true or not though.
The presumption seems to be that if there is an injunction that the worst (he is big ol'pedo) must be true. Would anyone really be paying much attention to an injunction if the info it was supposed to be covering up pointed at him actually committing one of the most egregious crimes? An injunction surely wouldn't even be granted, if it was so damning.

Charitably, I think she probably was addressing the ITV Daytime Ultras who write in to ask Holly if she is alright if she wears the same dress twice in a week, rather than the nation of vicarious rubberneckers tuning in for more salacious details. But, speaking of traumatisation, this is largely the result of hurt feelings. If you look at the primary jihadists, they are all ones who have been fired by ITV daytime for being cunts. Dan Wooton was marched out of the building and Holmes was told 'people just dont like you' when he was let go from This Morning. It is quite telling that before Wooton became an embittered 'anti-woke' shill, he was dishing the dirt on who J-Lo was going out with and commenting on the size of Mariah Careys tits.

Oh yeah GB News is basically ‘Axe-Grinding TV’. It’s very transparent.

I went out for a meal yesterday with my dad, step-mum and her family and they spent pretty much the entire meal interrogating the mrs about it, as pretty much everyone has done since it broke. It has absolutely broken the brains of anyone over 60 and the simple minded.
And *everyone* has an opinion on it. They ask her what happened before immediately launching into their own conspiracy theory. Its a 60 year old bloke from some inconsequential daytime tv show who shagged, as far as anyone knows, a young but legal lad.
Its driving me crazy. Everywhere we go, people sticking their oar in. Get a fucking grip, Britain.

I really don’t think the “give a fuck” is as widespread as the media overkill would make us believe. I don’t know a single person that gives a fuck - maybe it is most isolated to the day time TV watching brain dribblers, of which there are certainly too many but wouldn’t say they are the masses.

Is the "how the fuck do you get home today?" segment coming up soon, or is that later in the morning when I've left for work.
