Ah. apologies, I missed that bit in the rush to be clutching at my pearls. I still find it an odd position to take though. 2 or 3 posts along the lines of ‘they’re 16, it’s legal’. It most certainly is; but it doesn’t make it right (or even defensible?) for the 50/60yo other though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In situations where Y is legal, we’re uncomfortable, but it’s “legal”…perhaps the answer is changing the law…perhaps the answer is it’s none of our business…regardless, it’s pretty f**king from reading. However, the grooming aspect here certainly has to be a consideration, and should be very carefully looked at to see if there is anything there that is actionable…or something that needs to be legislated upon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musketeer Gripweed Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Homosexuality itself was a jailable offence within the last 60 years. Tolerances in attitude do change, and rightly so. Just as people are entitled to choose what gender they wish to be identified as today, age and age differences between a couple, regardless of their sexuality really shouldn't be an issue. But that will always be the case, probably. I mean, I think it's a strange with some people I know, but each to their own. However, a celebrity using their fame to gain power over a minor is a real issue in my eyes. If it is the case that Schofield or any celebrity for that matter, was grooming a child before the legal age of consent, for the purpose of sexual favours, they should be charged and then the courts should decide their fate, not the court of public opinion. PS, castrate the c**t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has lost his job but I think he will be unapologetic and probably feels relieved it is out. Another poster said he is "about to get away with it" ...again, no laws were broken so what's there to get away with? I’m not so sure he isn’t getting in deep trouble if the young lad in question speaks up or makes an allegation. Philip could easily slip him a few thousand to try and make it all go away but I highly doubt he is going to get his career back on track after this. His brothers stuff coming out at same time really isn’t helping his image either. From the unravelling of this story and also his queue jumping antics it is blatantly obvious he has zero respect for the general public and is an absolute c**t of a human being. I hope this is the end of him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should there be a maximum age difference in relationships? Who decides these things? You and the other outraged Helen lovejoys? fwiw I'm not comfortable with it but the OP Throbber said he was about to be in deep trouble (he isnt). He has lost his job but I think he will be unapologetic and probably feels relieved it is out. Another poster said he is "about to get away with it" ...again, no laws were broken so what's there to get away with? Numerous things don't break the law but can be questionable morally. Also, you have no idea if any laws have been broken, will you be on here calling everyone Helen Lovejoys if it turns out he groomed and sexually assaulted a child? Not a good look pal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although cards for if your dad's a nonce would work, and must be one of the few things the greeting card industry hasn't made one for as yet.

UK TV Gold will have to shut with the removal of Only Fools and Open All Hours/Still Open All Hours, about 50% of their scheduling down the toilet. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
