The Latest BBC Controversy

Did The Sun ever do topless shots of anyone under 18?

Oh yes, they did!

To be fair I don't think tits count, I assume not anyway. It's a law that surely needs the application of a bit of common sense.

I remember the day this was published. I was at college and someone had bought a copy. It was passed around the class (all males, by the way) and almost to a man there was sheer amazement at young Sam's chest doing a fine impression of a dead heat in a Zeppelin race. Executed with parental approval, of course.
Actually, I was always a 'less is more' kind of bloke when it came to boobs. Give me the pertness of a Suzanne Mizzi any day of the week (RIP). Nowadays, anything ending above the elbow gets a second glance.

Surely if the "victim" is saying nothing happened that's unlawful ok maybe sent some naughty pics but not pressing charges then no case to answer..
Think The Sun newspaper is looking like the fool here

Expect a statement from Gordon the Gopher later...

Difficult interview for the Director General on World at One just now. The interviewer just casually mentioned that "everyone in this building knows who it is".

I'd love to know myself! No idea.

But she says it's a "high profile figure".

[Fishy]

It's all over social media I read.. I'd like to know who it is as well

1 in 6 people know who it is apparently.

I think I know who it is, based on 5 minutes Twitter browsing. Of course I'm not going to speculate here, or anywhere else. But I'll tell you if I was right

[Fishy]

Not on twitter... any clues? without falling foul of any libel legal action?

Tip - Use a VPN and search foreign news sites.

Me too. My wife's first guess, I've since seen being mentioned on Facebook. My guess is someone else, who probably earns considerably more
Good game

[dom]

Pretty sure I know too

[David L]

It's got really serious now. Apparently he broke lockdown rules to meet a stranger he found on a dating site

I really think Jeremy Vine is sticking his neck out a bit here:

I mean - does the corporation really want another of their presenters to become part of the story? Certainly they're reporting his comments as news at the moment.

Just a guess but I think the name will come out today, although for a lot of people, I'm guessing more than 1 in 6 by now, it already has.
