Climate change, inflation, the economy, jobs, wages, declining public services and a thousand other issues should be ahead of consenting adults having a fling. It's piffle.

Poor state of our 'journalism' is the only issue here.

With corruption embedded in all strands of the state and the media how do you expect to solve any of those issues you outline without resolving that first?

It’s Probably more in the public interest than round 34 of party gate. But you were all in on that.

I’m sure if it was your 12 year old son/daughter that had been allegedly groomed, so that on 1 minute past their 18th birthday they were having sex with 50+ year old guy, that held a powerful influential position above them. Climate change, inflation etc would still take precedence?

Not my child, who cares, type of stance, seeming to be taken by people on here is really edifying.

I am not sure the sniping adds to the debate here.

You’re going full tabloid on this, aren’t you?

Making up hypothetical situations (the young man started in the show when he was 20*) and then the kicker of

Not my child, who cares, type of stance, seeming to be taken by people on here is really edifying

which no one has said…

*which is irrelevant, as abuse of position is wrong no matter the age, but you seemed (to use your term) to be going for the shock factor…

You are really going over the top on this. Accusing others here of effectively sanctioning sex with children is weird

I am happy to wait for evidence and a referral to the Police if merited.

Typical hypocrisy here accusing me of going over the top. Whist also saying I’m accusing others of sanctioning child sex!! I’ve done nothing of the sort.

Calling out apathy about a story, where I see it. That is all. Unlike you, I’ve accused no one.

“It’s not important”. ……”There are more important things”…………. “it’s piffle”

All of which…have been said.

18…….and he’d known him since 15. If it’s 1 second after his 18th birthday or six months after, what Difference does it make? I don’t discern one. But hey if you do, fair enough.

Schofield out looking for sympathy. Wait there while I look for the world's smallest violin.

Apathy? What apathy? The media has gone full all out nuclear about this. No chance to be apathetic. However I do think waiting until the full and unvarnished facts are known we should all shut up in the meantime. Trust the media to blow up a media centric news story. It's become a great way for the government to sneak out all sorts of interesting newsworthy stories that can get lost in all of the furore.

There has been no apathy here.

The reality is, Philip Schofield was until very recently represented by a very powerful talent agency that has the ability to deny access to its clients to any newspaper, magazine or TV channel that ran ‘unfavourable’ reports on anyone on its roster. Everyone in the media knew there was a whif of scandal here but it wasn’t worth the blowback to report it, especially as what’s presented here is definitely salacious but not (demonstrably) illegal. Schofield and his agency have now parted ways and it is safe for newspapers to go to town on him without losing the ability to get access to many of the other big names in entertainment presently gracing our TV screens.

I am not sure if Private Eye went after him, they're usually good at doing that.

Eye is generally interested in people who exercise political power or influence and/or who are enriching themselves from public funds. They’re not so interested in celebrity gossip except perhaps where it is demonstrably connected with illegal behaviour.

Accusing someone of a criminal offence (grooming a minor) is inviting a libel action. If you say it you had better be able to prove it. Schofield has now acknowledged that people have insinuated that but has flatly denied it. The media is free to report that now but anyone deciding to repeat the allegation in future, without solid proof, would still be at risk of legal action.

If anyone is interested in hearing Philip Schofield’s side of the story, there’s an interview with him on the BBC I-Player from today.

[Hom3r]

If he said the affair was with Holly, this would be a non story.


If he harms himself all those who called him a nonce/paedo will have blood on their hands, and hopefully feel the long arm of the law.

I am waiting to hear from Katie Price (Jordan) about Schofield. Her opinion weighs a lot for me. In last count, 2.5 kilos of silicone per boob.

11 min interview on BBC? What a disgrace...Look at the front page

I live in "affluent" Surrey and people are hungry, food banks are empty. Phil's dick is page 1?
