BBC: Claims about presenter 'rubbish' - young person's lawyer
www.bbc.co.uk
In a letter to the BBC, the lawyer claims "nothing inappropriate or unlawful" happened.

Good news if true. Feel horrible for the accused.

I think I have an idea who was accused, especially if it was fake because it would be an easy target to generate a story. I hope he isn’t too hurt by this

    Seems like the BBC may have another one on their hands.

    Another… what, exactly? Rude, unpleasant person who happens to be either gay or bi? (I think I get this message from the reporting, but I’m not certain that I’ve specifically seen the gender of the original “young person” mentioned now that I think about it)

    This is such an obviously confected story to fling shit at the BBC. It disappoints me that so many otherwise articulate and sensible people seem to be swallowing it hook line and sinker.

      I meant it seems like they have another scandal on their hands. Of course it’s all speculation at the minute but they’ve had a few in recent years, as have many I suppose.

        Okay, that’s fair, they do have another scandal to weather (contrived though it appears). Sorry, I thought I read a slight undertone of “filthy BBC got anuvver nonce innit” :)

      He always seemed so nice, not really rude or unpleasant

        I’ve still got no idea who people think it is.

        Nor do I care to, because it ain’t remotely sodding important.
