In that case, the Beeb are a bit late in updating us on the whole kissing thing.

At least they didn't take an entire three months to comment on a CEB post. I'm never making that mistake again.

Just a day after the conviction of the Southport murderer, almost certainly terrorist-inspired, it's good to know that the BBC is exposing the real threat to Britain, the far right.

There can be more than one threat you know.

There will always be nutters but the far right are on the march around the globe.

An erstwhile Boarder with a certain amount of inside knowledge marked his card a long time ago. Apparently not really 'malevolent' like some, but an absolute pest.

BBC pulls Gaza documentary featuring child whose father was Hamas minister

https://www.theguardian.com/media/2025/ ... ayer-hamas

The decision comes after Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy said on Thursday she would discuss the matter with the BBC's director general and chairman, "particularly around the way in which they sourced the people who were featured in the programme".

He burgled Paul Young’s house. But these claims are nonsense. Anonymous accusers and not been interviewed by the BBC . Shouldn’t be allowed to print it.

One woman, Hannah, told ITV News Correspondent Sejal Karia of a highly sexualised comment she says was made by Gino D’Acampo, and directed at her when they were working together on a magazine shoot in 2011.

In front of the entire crew, she says D’Acampo told her he would "like to turn me over and f*** me up the a*** against the kitchen counter."

She says she remembers "a ripple of laughs" while the people stood beside her "looked nervously into their cups of tea".

Isn’t Gino a predominately ITV guy?
BBC appears to have enough wrong’uns without taking the blame for ITV’s.

Damn!

I can’t believe the geezer who’s been playing the sexually suggestive cheeky Italian character for over a decade was actually like that off camera!

Just like with Gregg Wallace, it’s the ones you least expect

What checks are you suggesting haven't been done? And are you honestly pulling the "it's all bollocks if they aren't all publicly named" card?

No. In this instance I am referring to the BBC article which states as below.

“BBC News has not spoken to his accusers nor has it verified their claims.”

Yeah, because it's an ITV investigation. Do you know how news reports work?
