Fresh off the press – The Truth about The
Coming Out Party. Truth is Schofa been
shagging a runner on the This Morning set
reportedly looking no older than 12 (no it’s
not me), ****ed him over so he said he’s
gonna go to the press. So had to come
out publicly. Phillip you dirty old hog!



That's the timeline of events

It might be legal but it's very weird. I'm sure this isn't the last we will hear of it or of other situations.

Why would PS hand pick an 18 year old with little work experience as a personal assistant. To me not only does it suggest the job was given to him as a favour but also that itv were complict in the charade.
 
Col A better anology would be richard branson meeting a child at 15 giving him/her a job at virgin then when they turned 18 shagging him or her then lying to hr about a relationship . I cant see why you think thats acceptable.
Wow thats a leap. Where have i said its acceptable? Only in your head i'd say. I said i cant as of yet, given known facts, not speculation, see why SO much fuss is going on. Bullying, affairs, getting folks jobs occurs in all walks of life. If he is proven in time a wrong un though then he needs dealing with

Apologies for jumping the gun with you

Is this a one off that he helped somebodies career, or did he do this frequently and innocently. He was patron of the place the lad was acting, he may have helped several people from there. Would need full context to really understand the implication of the one fact in this, because when you strip away the speculation, he helped a kid get a job, which isn’t on its own a bad thing. Now of course there is a second fa t that he had a relationship with him a couple of years later, and it’s easy to jump to conclusions between those two facts, but we simply don’t know the full details of anything else
 
I really don’t understand why this is such big news (well as of yet anyway).

Bloke on morning tv has relationship with legally aged teen, there is no evidence anything happened before it legally could is there? It happens up and down the country all the time. Yes the age gap is large, but does anyone bat an eyelid at Mick Jagger and his young ladies for example? I presume the timing is unfortunate given Schofields brothers life and the media regurgitated this older PS story after a bit more digging. I am sure nobody really thinks daytime tv is full of fluff and all lovey-dovey.

This cult of celebrity is media driven to create a false narrative of reality, they build people up while the money rolls in then when things start to change, they love to knock them down as soon as they can. I know the odd so called showbiz celebrity or two (as will a good few on here no doubt), their 15 minutes of fame are lower key nowadays or up out of choice in one case because of the way others often blew smoke up their own backsides when a big break occurs etc.

One said the world of showbiz is riddled with the 7 deadly sins and you need your wits about you 24/7, I don’t really care what anyone does providing its legal. I certainly don’t want peoples tawdry love lives and other various skeletons played out on my tv or media outlets. All these outraged people would do well to keep their own skeleton cupboard under lock and key, we all have our own skeletons of sorts after all.
'I really don’t understand why this is such big news'
While posting a really long reply, LOL

Simply he's broken trust. He's in a very privileged position, and has lied to his employers and to his 'best mate'

It shouldn’t be big news when we have an actual skipfire of a government who are trying to obstruct their own independent enquiry into their behaviour by publically gaslighting about their transparency while taking legal action to block evidence.

This is all a major distraction from the real issues at hand and by design as the tabloids, bbc and GBeebies collude to keep This Morning as the key news item
 
You really don't understand why it is news?
It isn't just about just a 61 year old person having a relationship with a much younger person. That wouldn't be big news.

Schofield's high profile, his (previous) image as a family man of integrity and virtue, the speculation of bullying, his resignation from his job, the ramifications for ITV as a whole, the future of his co-star, the fact that his popularity was starting to fall after queue-gate. That makes it a big news item.

In any case, take away the hyperbole, speculation and typical media sensationalism and you are left with a TV presenter with lots of influence befriending a child, giving them a job as his runner and finally starting a (legal) sexual relationship with them. He lied about all of this.

I think that raises concerns and justifies further investigation. It has the hallmarks of grooming. As it turns out, the media seem to be better at these investigations than either his former employers or the police.


Also, I'm not aware of any examples of Mick Jagger in a similar scenario, though I might be wrong.
However I do know that plenty of eyelids were batted when Jagger's band mate Bill Wyman married Mandy Smith. Maybe not as much as they would be today but it didn't exactly go unnoticed.

I think we can see why it's news, just not why it's dominated news coverage and discussion programmes to the extent it has in the last week. There is still a war in Ukraine after all.

I don't think Schofield is that high profile, but then I'm never in a position to watch daytime TV. I suspect the news agenda caters to those who do have time to watch daytime TV, and Schofiled is higher profile in their eyes than mine.

"we"?
Who are you speaking for?
Or have I wandered into a little gang or a secret society?
I apologise if so, purely unintentional.
 
My favourite thing about that post is the twitter user has a picture of Ted Bovis singing "You've lost that loving feeling" on pebble mill. The apex of human culture. There are rumours that voyager 2 was delayed just so a recording of it could be put on the laserdisk.

Oh, that is some quality useless random specific knowledge. You have my admiration, sir!
