UK X: Who Wants To Live Forever

[Neon Ignition]

I don't think Schofield has been up to anything and I'm sure a lot of drama has been due to the behind the scenes stuff with his brother but if him and Holly have actually been against one another... it makes me wonder if he was as unknowing about his brother to the extent he claimed as if there was even a hint he may have suspected something and didn't speak up then Holly would 100% burn him, anything with kids and she's out.

Perfect example of why Sunak has no chance.

Yet again Braverman is causing drama having asked Civil Servants if they can hush away her speeding conviction from the public. It's not a huge thing but as someone who's career racism regularly courts the headlines and also as someone who has already been fired once from the job she currently has, she's a full blow liability and needs to go.

I have no idea what this Schofield drama is all about. Not sure I need to but it seems to be everywhere.

Maybe there's some crazy revelation in Gordon the Gopher's autobiography from back when they worked in the broom cupboard together.

I think it's called "If These Walls Could Squeak".

its alleged that Schofield and ITV have been doing full damage control to protect this morning with rumors going around about super injunctions and hush money payments regarding Schofield relationship with a show runner.

Allegedly when Schofield came out he had just ended his relationship with a show runner on this morning who was in his 20s, the rumor is that this show runner was angry with him and was going to out him via the press but ITV got ahead of it and Philip came out on This Morning instead.

Where it gets murky is Schofield had known and been helping this showrunner since he was 11 years old, the evidence being that theirs photos of him with Schofield when he was very young, he's been working on this morning since he was 16, and the show runner was moved to loose women before being let go in the same time frame that Schofiled came out.

I do...who the hell needs that much money

I never used to think like this, but these days... There's a threshold of someone having too much money, while there are people homeless and in poverty in a country. I don't know what the threshold is, exactly, but I know that Sunak's over it.

I assume it'sbecause he's such a present public figure, presenting morning TV (and children's TV years ago).

I think, also... Well, okay, being somewhat cynical here, as a former king of children's TV, if it's true, and only if, the paper that breaks with hard evidence that he's done something untoward with a child; I mean that will be the celebrity story of the year. Plus he's gay, so the anti-LGBT crowd will be all over that with the awful things they always say when that sort of thing emerges.

It's just because he's such a present public figure, presenting morning TV (and children's TV years ago).

It's not clear whether he's done anything illegal but a lot are ready to call him sketchy which is not a great look for someone who's built their reputation on being a squeaky clean national treasure. He was having an affair with a 20 year old show-runner we know that as pretty much fact now, That he helped him in his career could be completely innocent but a lot of people are looking at the relationship and saying he's taken advantage of him. Schofeild should of known better than having a sexual relationship with someone massively his junior and someone he'd known from being a child.

Yeah. It's important to be clear about this. To explain a bit better, I think the reason it's so prominent is that there's a segment of people who, for whatever reason, really want it to be true - for personal gain (in case of the news media), and for homophobic reasons. That's why it's so prevalent even though, at present, it's not known if he did anything wrong.

but if him and Holly have actually been against one another...

Eeeeh, what's the point.

If it's not true, then it's not true.

If it's true, he could be totally guilty. Nothing will happen. The Met and MPs will close ranks again and Boris walks away.
