i dont get why the bbc doesn't come out and say who it is, because by...
...means that the internet detectives can play a big game of guess who, by taking note of who does appear on tv in the next few days, combined with who confirms on twitter that "it's not them", and then using deduction to figure out who is remaining. it will surely be worse for optics if the top minds of the internet figure it out first
It's [removed to comply with the rules].
i guess... for the level of cash paid, it makes sense. the only counter-indication to this, is i have seen a screenshot of a tweet from only a few hours ago from bbc wales, about a program huw is presenting. i can't find the original tweet because i dont have a twitter account (and refuse to make one for this). it's possible that the tweet was auto-scheduled?
Possible or the person I spoke to is wrong, although they seemed very well-connected. I'd be confident enough in it to put a few quid on it but not to bet the farm. Assuming a betting company is offering odds on this (I had a quick Google and didn't find anything).
Doubt a bookies would have a market for something like this. What a shame if it was Huw though, I've always respected him and he knows his politics.
I always thought you could bet on anything but this may he deemed too tasteless.
Yeah, I am still hoping it isn't him as I'd feel a bit let down.
Has anyone seen this backed up elsewhere? All I'm finding is accusations against Graham Norton from dodgy looking websites.
It's unlikely to be properly backed up (or disproven) until the BBC or police make an official statement.
I was looking for another source for the same rumour, ie someone who isn't you.
...and yet you just keep replying
I'm sure if you look around on social media (likely Twitter) you'll find someone saying the same thing but that's because, at this point, just about every prominent BBC presenter has been named. Finding two randoms on the Internet saying the same thing isn't confirmation. If so, Mr Blobby's head is in the noose.
I knew it!
The BBC hasn't come out and said who because everybody involved deserves privacy until the investigations are concluded. Also, innocent until proven guilty and all that ...
