of course, the beeb and me.ourse, the beeb would already love to close the chapter on this horror story, but there are now more questions than answers . but there are now more questions than answers. how has this young person found the funds to employ a top firm of london lawyers ? a top firm of london lawyers? they must have been very fastidious with their pocket money and whilst lawyers for the youngsters say the story is utter rubbish, what about the parents who we are told have received no money for going to the sun they insist the star has got into the head of their child and who it's alleged even frantically called them in recent days, saying what have you done? and according to the sun, reports begged the mother to end the investing negation. the sun maintained they have firm evidence proving payments were made and even possible photographic evidence of the onune photographic evidence of the online exchange. if the bbc think they could ride out this and that, we'll just shrug our shoulders and move on whi

according to the beeb's own reporting , one to the beeb's own reporting, one of the youngsters alleges put under pressure to meet up were put under pressure to meet up when the young person hinted onune up when the young person hinted online they might name the presenter. they claim they were sent abusive. sps lviv filled messages . the young person said messages. the young person said they'd been scared by the power they'd been scared by the power the presenter held , and they the presenter held, and they said the threats made in the messages which have been seen and verified by bbc news, had frightened them and they remain so scared. scene and verified by the bbc. frightened and scared . the bbc. frightened and scared. so much for allegations that amount to not that much . it goes amount to not that much. it goes on the growing tally of alleged victims is now seven, with former colleagues at the beeb complaining about inappropriate behaviour, a power imbalance and flirty or creepy texts from the star not reported by the super soaraway sun folks who these commentators would clearly lo

so should the beeb name and shame . shame. >> i don't think it's as simple as should the beeb name and shame. >> i think that that same would apply to any employer. you can't just go and name and shame someone because an allegation is made, even if you know it's true. you've still got to go through due process make sure through due process to make sure it's true and all the facts are correct. and i mean, clearly most people assume this is true. however, the individual concerned may have a defence none of us know about yet . so none of us know about yet. so i think the bbc are correct not to jump think the bbc are correct not to jump the gun and play to the gallery. it's also very for easy politicians to make big statements against the bbc, but from what i can see, tim davies acted very quickly. the sun started the story on friday, followed up on the saturday and over the a summer weekend, the bbc have acted and made sure the individual is suspended pending investigation. the working week haven't even begun and that happ

we don't have the ident city of this alleged bbc star, but the headline is beeb scandal exclusive ofmobile image . farage x—rated mobile image. farage okay. and the star. let's have a look at the star now. boffs are britain's biggest bonkers is that's right. after one minute of exhaustive research, the data is clear but still awaiting peer approval. you thought boffins and boffins lived boring lives filling their boxes with bonkers theories. well, now a study reveals they're also britain's biggest love cheats. that's right . these clever dicks and right. these clever dicks and dick s's need to spend less time moaning and more on the job of saving the planet. those are your front pages. a bit of much needed humour and levity from the daily star. let's get reaction now from my top pundits, tv and presenter pundits, tv and radio presenter broadcasting titan david hamilton, who can be heard daily on boom radio. former adviser to bofis on boom radio. former adviser to boris johnson kulveer ranger and tv personality, actress and entrepreneur. ashlene horgan—wallace . so many stories horgan—

the more interesting drama at the beeb is behind the scenes with a high profile star taken off air whilst he paid for a youngster to do images are investigated . so who images are investigated. so who could this mystery star be? hm. i'm guessing pudsey. you know pudsey bear . i'm guessing pudsey. you know pudsey bear. i've always thought he was a wrong'un . what's he he was a wrong'un. what's he been looking at with that one? good eye of his hilariously outgoing bbc chairman, richard sharp, who isn't the sharpest tool in the box , thinks the tool in the box, thinks the licence fee should perhaps be means tested. so if your home is worth a bit more, you pay more a lot of people are forced to pay the licence fee that don't watch the licence fee that don't watch the bbc to make some pay more for something they don't even watch could provoke an outright revolution in imagine paying 3 or £400 for the licence fee because you've got a spare room or you live on a nice street. welcome to hell . so talk of what welcome to hell. so talk of what to do with the licence fee in my view is like rearrange

but what is interesting in the reaction to the beeb's latest transgression is that the metropolitan liberal are trying to paint the hugh elle edwards scenario off as homophobic, as if to imply the reason people are unhappy with his actions depends entirely upon the sex of the young persons he was chasing after. what a patronising view of the british public. surely we were disappointed in hugh because he has a wife and kids and he's let down his family and he's dropped the standards expected of any man, not to mention a figure in the public eye. societal standards are important. his sexuality is neither here nor there. and frankly , it's being there. and frankly, it's being used as an excuse , just as it used as an excuse, just as it was with phillip schofield. no one really cares if you're gay or straight in 2023. what people care about is if you're in the 60s and you're grooming teenagers whilst cheating on your wife and neglecting your children. that said , the pylon children. that said, the pylon has been horrible to witness and i not want to add to it. i do not want to add to it. i blam

but what is interesting in the reaction to the beeb's latest transgression is that the metropolitan liberal trying to paint the hugh elle edwards scenario off as homophobic, as if to imply the reason people are unhappy with his actions depends entirely upon the sex of the young persons he was chasing after. what a patronising view of the british public. surely we were disappointed in hugh because he has a wife and kids and he's let down his family and he's dropped the standards expected of any man, not to mention a figure in the public eye. societal standards are important. his sexuality is neither here nor there. and frankly , it's being there. and frankly, it's being used as an excuse , just as it used as an excuse, just as it was with phillip schofield. no one really cares if you're gay or straight in 2023. what people care about is if you're in the 60s and you're grooming teenagers whilst cheating on your wife and neglecting your children. that said , the pylon children. that said, the pylon has been horrible to witness and i not want to add to it. i do not want to add to it. i blame a

it is reasonable to suggest that if the beeb had responded properly to the original concerns raised bye concern parents of the first young person embroiled in this , then person embroiled in this, then they would never have gone to they would never have gone to the sun. this would never have become a story. and hugh would probably be presenting the 10:00 news, not coming to terms with the trauma of his quite possibly shattered personal and professional life . the sun is professional life. the sun is now in a very precarious position. they won't big , they position. they won't big, they say they have evidence and the other allegations that have come to light since the original story broke, including some brought forward by the bbc itself , would lend weight to the itself, would lend weight to the nofion itself, would lend weight to the notion that there definitely is a story here, but they now face a story here, but they now face a very difficult balancing act if they back down completely and go into retreat, they look like the guilty party. if they press ahead with more allegations, whi

brave journalists at the beeb itself.ozens of bbc journalists working on more potential huw edwards stories as a slew of fresh claims. we're told, have since been made about the presenter , including two the presenter, including two from a former and current employee of the bbc, interviewed by newsnight. according to the news website deadline, multiple sources have been contacted by victoria derbyshire, the brilliant host of that show. as newsnight looked into rumours of alleged unwashed covid messages to junior staff, many asked why complaints weren't made at the time. well it's me too. all over again. the dynamic of these allegations is the same powerful male star untouchable, presiding over a culture of fear in which to speak out risks , career and to speak out risks, career and or reputation , personal or reputation, personal consequences. now there's no evidence that huw edwards is guilty of that, but the allegations does have that flavour about them. why did nobody at itv speak out about phillip schofield? well, per

what about the beeb employee who alleges that they were sent a private message about their appearancewith a cold shudder? why was the brilliant victoria derbyshire and the bbc newsnight team invest investigating allegations around huw edwards before the original story broke? derbyshire said on wednesday's show that present and former corporation staff had been sent inappropriate messages by the newsreader and that junior staff felt totally intimidated by him . also was £35,000 really the cost of those images? that's a lot of money for pictures of someone in the nude . given the someone in the nude. given the fact that most is free, was that 35 grand? hush money? was it a gagging order or a so—called nda? i would love answers to these questions . as and who is these questions. as and who is paying these questions. as and who is paying the expensive legal fees of this alleged crack cocaine addicted victim who has, i should add, denied the story. do alleged crack cocaine addicts have thousands of pounds for spare central london barristers? i know i don't. and i doubt you do either. the i

but the beeb has now separately taken flack for sending its climate editor 1800 miles to spain to coverthe continent . this heatwave on the continent. this is the moment correspondent justin rowlett reported live that the heatwave was caused by climate change, adding the blast of heat today in spain. >> it's going to go across into italy already very hot in italy, but it's going to get hotter there. and then finally it will end in greece. >> all accentuate and exaggerated by the effects of climate change. >> climate change is pushing temperatures up and making heatwaves like this longer and more extreme . more extreme. >> the bbc has repeatedly refused to say if rowlet flew to spain by gas guzzling aeroplane, despite pictures from the mail on sunday showing him returning home to his £3 million london house over the weekend with airline tags on his backpack. so . neil oliver, are the bbc tone deaf or deliberately trolling us now ? well i would say they're now? well i would say they're definitely trolling us. >> and yes, they are. i think it's more than tone deaf. >> i think. i don't thin
