More stories will inevitably appear and embarrass the BBC. Yet again the Corporation will be accused of doing nothing and just hoping to keep a sock on it…

Makes you wonder how all this comes out all at once after years, it's almost as if these "Stars" have upset someone high up in the organisation.

How often do people say this though, and then it emerges that they did make a complaint at the time and it was swept under the rug or there was 'not enough evidence' to do anything?

We had someone at our company who was a complete fuckwit. She once spat in a colleagues face, but because it happened outside work, and it was basically his word against hers (and I guess a taxi driver, if he could have been bothered to track him down) the company refused to do anything other than basically keep them apart. When we spoke to a mate who worked for the same company in a different country, we mentioned her name and he laughed saying he could 'tell a few stories' about this person. Nothing happens with each individual case, so nothing gets put on record, and you don't get a full picture of someone's behaviour. If you did, there would clearly be enough complaints to make it extremely unlikely that they weren't all actually true. But companies would rather protect themselves from accusations of false dismissal.

How often do you see it in America, when some power-hungry cop gets caught shooting some innocent person, than they actually have a list of complaints as long as your arm. But each one is taken on its individual merits and nobody is there to look at the overall pattern.

Gregg Wallace up to now insulted someone's cooking and a dodgy old pop star called him out on Twitter, people need to get a grip.
 
John barrowman got cancelled for flashing his bits when he was jack sparrow , it was his party piece, the females didnt seem to be bothered partly because he is gay so not threatening , not sure how it got out

He still rages about it from the states where he lives with his hubby

He decided to try and rehabilitate his image by going on SAS who dares wins , he quit after 24 mins , lol
 
You're not sure what got out?

Im not sure what they are meant to do when people only speak about stuff 10 yrs after the event. They obviously dont deliberately employ weirdos. What does happen though is people who get on telly become billy big bollocks. It needs calling out at the time if that is so, Shirley?

The Beeb obviously don't vet properly. They also don't keep an eye on things as they happen either. The Beeb shouldn't be reliant on reports way longer after they happen. The institution reeks of incompetence.
 
There’s been mention of Bake off and remarks on that. No one called out about it?
Could it just be that the other channels can do/say what they want? Only the BBC is held accountable?
I am not condoning Wallace or anyone else and as I have never watched Bake off I wouldn’t know. However there is one programme on 4 or 5 where they are professional bakers and make the most elaborately decorated specimens and the innuendos on that is very noticeable. No one has ever called that programme out.
Just an observation.

Usually these things do get called out at the time but the person who the accusations are against are so powerful nothing gets done. You can also bet that for every person brave enough to take the risk and make a complaint there will be plenty of others wanting to but they are too scared to do so.
Looking at a huge corporation like the BBC i would think there is a fair possibility people in positions of power do deliberately employ a few people of dubious character. A bit like Hollywood a lot will pee in the same pot.
That power corrupts and they start to feel they are untouchable. I'd say it's getting harder to cover such behaviour up these days but I've no doubt it still goes on and always will.

Ive got to disagree. How can they vet people who become twats after becoming famous in the way that this bloke did, and in the way that lots have? They become knobheads after they are famous. The calling out of these people has to depend upon who they are working with at the time, thats how all work places function, no? Otherwise how can managers deal with it. Vetting people before they get on the telly is great, if that can even happen which is probably word of mouth like any job. Dealing with misconduct as it happens is what any work place managers are for. If they arent told, what are they to do? Waiting for a pile on years after the event serves nobody.

And I think Gregg Wallace is a sad **** wannabe someone pretty dislikable Cockney ex barrow boy wanker who is the walking embodiment of a mid life crisis. Hes a twat, even before this, as proved by the cringy interview we all took the piss out of at the start of this thread.

This certainly isnt a BBC enabled problem, as if they look for these people and then cover up for them. The notion is ridiculous
