It seems like another case of everyone in the industry knowing about it and turning a blind eye. There are some really disturbing archived social media posts and photos from the time when the boy in question was ~14/15, and where it appears as though both Philip and Simon Schofield (not related, but being described as close friends in the media) were pretty inappropriate. I won't post them here but you can find them easily on twitter. The Schofield's had access to the boy from around the age of 10 through the theatre company. I've seen people in the industry hint that there's more stuff to come out that predates this boy, and a pattern of behaviour that started when Schofield was at the BBC. It's certainly bad enough that not a single person has a good word to say about him, and after 20 years presenting the breakfast TV show, there's no celebratory episode or official goodbye. So yeah, it's going to be bad fuctifino fucked around with this message at 23:33 on May 20, 2023 |

There’s also the recent, uh, legal issues his brother is facing , which people - correctly or incorrectly, who knows - seem to be jumping to conclusions about. I have to say though, you have a little scout around on Twitter and you’re very quickly awash with all the classic homophobic insinuations, so who knows Answers Me fucked around with this message at 23:35 on May 20, 2023 |

A super injunction to hide that you're a beast would be a new low of British jurisprudence, and the whole super injunction system already seems pretty loving rotten. Whole system seems bad almost as if the law exists to protect those with the most property or something!

The stuff with his brother is a mere coincidence, and has nothing to do with the stuff that's about to break re: Philip. I have a gay friend who's all over this with a fine tooth comb, and he's really good at filtering out any bullshit and it passes his filters. Yes, there will be homophobic cunts who'll try to weaponise this to their own means, but gently caress those people... well, not literally, obviously. I really do think Philip is going to be having a Savile moment, except he'll be alive to face the consequences.

At least with the Times, you can cling to its much-tarnished 'paper of record' reputation. The Telegraph is only one step away from going up on stage at the NatC conference.

There was the one that made them famous, when the Guardian had their front page story about Trafigura being aware of how deadly the chemicals they were dumping in Cote d'Ivoire were suppressed until an MP used parliamentary privilege to publicise it. Also worth considering that you can't even report that an injunction exists so we probably won't ever know how grotesque the system is

Can't believe those WeBuyAnyCar ads would lie to us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-16X1r8Jd1Y (RIP this video soon.) Also seems Schofield publicly came out shortly after this runner "mysteriously" left the show, could've been he was trying to get the jump on any press stories about his sexuality.

If you have a horrible nonce on staff what do you do with them though? If you publicise that it invites awkward questions and jeopardises your job, if it gets found out later then you have already been paid a bunch and it's unlikely to actually materially affect you. There's no incentive within the system to get rid of talent that makes you money no matter how many people suffer for it.

The real question is what would happen if someone with a blog who was legitimately unaware of a superinjuction were to be given information about a case and write something up about it. Can you be held in contempt of court if you were never aware that a superinjunction was in place? Or would you just be held in contempt of court every time you refused to name your source?

domhal posted:How would an editor know not to run a superinjunctioned story unless they had a list of superinjunctions or a superinjunction oracle to query? From what I've read, an injunction requires naming who will be blocked from publishing material on the case. So for example if The Telegraph contacts a well known celebrity for comment on some allegations they've received, that celebrity then runs to their legal team who take out an injunction against The Telegraph. The editor there is told by the court that the paper can't run the story. Other papers are technically still free to report on the story, assuming they have some kind of source for it. However they'd almost certainly end up with another injunction if they tried. In practice newspaper editors are also going to be talking to each other at their own noncing parties about which stories to avoid.
