Fao Bbc Presenter Paying £35k For Photos

TL;DR

It depends.

 

Erm... Thank you.... Um... What does it mean?

 

Sorry, just seen your last message!

 

Yes in summary “Maybe, maybe not. Sometimes, sometimes not. Perhaps. It depends”.

 

Or perhaps they're desperate and can see no other way to break a nasty addiction cycle and see the Beeb employee as a predatory enabler.

Could be anything given the near zero details we have, really.

 

I'm amazed anyone actually pays for naughty images these days given it's about 86% of the internet.

 

Guessing the age thing is a factor there though!

 

I'm curious about the FAO part of the title of this thread, are they among us Clive?

 

More trouble for Mr X:

Excellent! That's this summer's entertainment sorted!

 

Ah, the only thing more righteous than the BBC is the BBC investigating and reporting on the BBC.

In slightly more seriousness the headline is pretty clickbaity. 'Young person' it turns out could be someone aged 22/23. I'm not sure why they've not just been described as 'a person' instead.

 

Probably young by comparison with Mr X though!

 

Probably not Mr Tumble then.

 

No doubt.

Quite how this seemingly fragile 'young person' is up to putting themselves out there on a dating site and threatening to unveil the identity of a famous person who asks them out, but not to take a bit of robust feedback in response, isn't really explained.

 

The Police have asked the BBC to halt any ‘internal probe.’ Either that or it was generic advice to celebrities everywhere.

 

Not a great time for any BBC presenter to have legitimately gone on holiday. Just needs a couple more to come out and say 'who me but not me' and we'll more or less know who it is.

 

Aren't they from your favourite UK city or have I just imagined it and I need to calm down. I also thought The Sun was completely verboten in that area of the North-West after their "reporting" on the Hillsborough disaster.

 

I loathe scousers.

 

So hang on, we’re saying a scouser got hooked on crack?

Call the cops!

 

At the very least, a fixed penalty notice could be on it's way to The Unnamed Presenter:

The fact that he has a layer of mist surrounding him should make presenter, or is that the victim, easy to finger. Toilets appear to be given a virtual cue.

 

Asked a journalist who I regularly work with today at said tabloid (don’t judge me, it’s a sport journo) and he confirmed it is who everyone thinks it is.

 

So did he. It was £50k for “a pic” from any other part of the UK.

 

The grave tones and deathly seriousness of the BBC's coverage of this is making it even more fun for the rest of us!

 

I love how they bump things like a NATO summit from the top of the bill for this sort of thing. All very serious, lots of long faces around the desk in the news studio. No other organisation would do this to itself.

 

No other organisation harboured Jimmy Savile.

 

Right. Who do we think it is?

 

I dunno about that. The Tory party gave him plenty of cover too!

 

Really?

 

Did you see the BBC Verify bloke they brought in to really drill down in to it? Hilarious!!

 

Well, OK. Tories don’t do soul-searching though.

 

Many of them don’t do soul at all.

 

I think one thing more righteous than the BBC investigating is the Sun reporting with clutched pearls on 'semi-naked pictures' of 'young people'.
