I reckon he'd be happier in Cambodia. Him and Paul gadd could be neighbours.

He came across very disingenuous in that BBC interview. Obviously a lot of pre-briefed answers and approaches to answers.
He repeatedly and categorically said it was his fault and he is to blame, but when directly asked what he was at fault for, he had no answer and would skirt around the edges by saying things like "I kissed a colleague in the workplace...which I shouldn't have done.." then goes on to repeat that he was in a bad place understanding his own sexuality. Really avoiding the question while trying to look like he's displaying humility.
It was also odd when he talked about taking the lad (at 20 years old) coming in to the studio for a visit, but while he was waiting to be picked up, Schofield was 'worried he'd be waiting on his own', so took him for a bite to eat: "It wasn't a meal, just waiting for someone to pick him up", "so don't worry, don't go out there on your own".
So bizarre. He wasn't even asked about that, he bought it up on his own. Going out with a mate after work for some food isn't weird. If it was as innocent as he described, why would he even remember it, never mind think it's relevant to bring up on a TV interview about your inappropriate behaviour?

I'm a bit bored of it all now.
How DARE you, you are meant to stay outraged for at least another week!
Feel sorry for the young lad, who was certainly taken advantage of, but, well, anyway.
On the scale of OMG, it barely makes a ripple.
He had form for it.

It's the WhatsApp chat called "Lollipops" the authorities need to look at.He had a WhatsApp group with his team and lawyers called 'The Event' which was about how he was going to publicly come out.
Lol, delusions of grandeur or what? 'The Event'.
Amazing how much influence some of these reputation management companies have!
As just like that, someone accused of grooming can suddenly seemingly control the news cycle?
It’s likely that there’s a victim of some serious grooming out there, and yet here’s a 60 odd year old fella almost claiming that he’s the ‘real victim’ in all this.

For balance...
I should clarify, I've not seen anyone here doing that, it just seems that there's a lot of hypocrisy at large regarding the age gap in this case compared to the MANY huge age gaps between straight couples in the celebrity scene.
Not a defence of him by the way!

An age gap between consenting adults is fine.
A closeted, married old queen grooming a child before preying on him once it was “not illegal” is a little different.
