So it begs the question as to why Roan wasn't sacked.
The BBC clearly doesn't have a clear policy of behaviour.
What Roan said is OK because it might to true.
What Wallace said is not OK because it was meant in humour ? ( I don't really know what he said )

I’m not comparing the two situations, you are. They are completely irrelevant to each other, with completely separate considerations.

You asked why Roan didn’t get sacked and my answer is that what he said was probably true.

I guess the fact he wasn’t strictly broadcasting for the BCC at the time may have been a peripheral consideration too, even though he was unquestionably at work.

If the Leicester chairman was sleeping with one of the other passengers, and what Roan said was therefore true, what is the basis for him being dismissed?
 
Not sure what the chargers are, seem to be at a lower level rather than actual sexual misconduct?

Wallace, to me, comes across as the giddy wideboy who should be on a market stall rather than on Masterchef.

I think it's getting to the stage where no one knows what can and can't be said.
That Lawson woman uses loads of innuendos.
Even the mere cats say Hollywood has a soggy bottom in that advert lol

I’d say as Wallace is on our screens more and is higher profile ( celebrity)Roan although totally wrong what he said is a no mark in the grand scheme of things ..

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?

This notion amongst some that the BBC is a breeding ground for paedos and sex cases, and that they actually enable it, is complete bollocks. I appreciate that some just come out with it in jest but for those who seriously believe it, it’s the equivalent of saying City are the same due to the actions of Bennell, Brooke, Johnson (granted he was at Sunderland when that happened), and Mendy (granted he was found not guilty in the end).

As others have said, individual complaints of abuse and inappropriate behaviour are nigh on impossible to prove if there are no independent witnesses. It’s only when a pattern of behaviour emerges that the evidence becomes more compelling. It’s one of the reasons why Savile escaped justice throughout his lifetime, along with the hold that he had over practically the whole country. The BBC did investigate allegations made against him but again, if there are no witnesses it’s not going to be easy to prove. The amount of money he raised for the likes of Stoke Mandeville also made him pretty much immune from serious scrutiny, especially when he threatened to stop the charity work if they pursued allegations made against him. His cosying up to politicians and the Royal Family made him untouchable, yet whenever his name crops up it always seems to be the BBC that gets the blame.

West Yorkshire Police get off so lightly with Saville. They knew what was going on and ignored it.

So fucking what, if they're "middle class", or "of a certain age". Are they not allowed to register complaints?

I have no idea if his claim is true, but it makes total sense that middle class and slightly older women would feel more able to come forward with this kind of complaint. Sadly, its much more junior employees on crap wages who simply can't afford to take the risk in speaking out about this sort of thing.
 
Gotta say i'm a bit surprised by KIrsty Warks reaction to Wallace's 'words to her.
I'd have thought a tough Scots journalist like her would have given him a mouthfull (no, definitely no pun intended) at the time and told him to fuck off.

Better playing the victim card years later instead of reporting it at a time she worked for the beeb.
 
It is pretty amusing that hes such a weird dick that he thought making a video where he blames women for his current situation would be a good move for himself. It seems to me (and only my opinion) that on the whole he probably is a complete prick and has annoyed enough people over the years that now they have an opportunity to take him down they are doing. Its a bit grim for him that the method they are using to do so is to brand him a sex pest as that's unduly harsh if it isnt really true. He would be well advised right now to just stay indoors, say nothing and wait for someone else to be the news in a new, more proven, scandal. Given the BBCs history it wont be too long until someone else takes over the front pages anyway
