That is one very unlucky deviant.

That said, I have seen folks familiar with internal media stuff (like Mic 'brokenbottleboy' Wright) dropping heavy hints that Schofield is a mega-predator who's receiving the same kind of legal and institutional protection that folks like Nick Cohen did/do. A lot of nudge-nudge wink-wink 'if we said this stuff outright the British media would do everything in their considerable power to add us to the homeless suicide statistics' stuff. Apparently some NDAs are expiring this month, which may change things enough to justify everyone carefully, politely trying to distance themselves from him while protecting their own reputations as best they can.

It definitely seems like we're in the awkward holding phase where a lot of media insider types are indicating that Schofield is a gigantic sexmonster who's the beneficiary of heavy institutional and legal protection, but can't repeat specific allegations against him because he's the beneficiary of heavy institutional and legal protection, and therefore anyone who sticks their head above the parapet will be flayed alive (metaphorically and possibly literally) to send a message. Not the first time that's happened in this country or in this industry, and we know that it's a status quo that can hold for a depressingly long time.

His legion of ghouls are going to be fine, and may indeed end up better off as a result of this. Instead, he's apparently been adopting the Trump/Musk strategy of 'never pay anyone anything unless they bring along their lawyers' for years, and, well, Lloyds Bank brought along their lawyers.

Given how suddenly they popped up and how well-equipped they are, I think it's a fair guess that the border insurgency was Western intelligence agencies activating their existing assets in the region. Who just so happened to be card-carrying Nazis.

I think that most of us would be reasonably satisfied with Osborne getting carted off to The Hague. Absent that being a realistic possibility, though, you are absolutely going to get people hungering for more direct and feasible forms of justice. I am certainly not calling for the assassinations of senior political figures (hi, mods!), but the unfortunate reality is that if you want vigilante violence against your country's elite to lose its popular appeal, you're going to have to provide some other effective, reliable means by which they can be held to account for vast and heinous human rights abuses. This is especially relevant in the current political climate, where all major players appear to be determined to reduce their public appeal as much as possible while removing any meaningful, useful official systems of accountability, and while I again do not endorse or encourage political assassination as a tactic, I can't help but grimly wonder which one of these chuckleheads is going to get themselves capped first.
