I've given up trying to read everything because there's just too much. I'm still disgusted that PS even got the opportunity to do an interview on BBC.

Btw I haven't watched it, and I won't. He doesn't deserve the views.

So just to make sure I'm still on track (& yes I've read the wiki) the next big dates are:
- tonight at 10 to see if there's a headliner for tomorrow
- tomorrow IF there is indeed a new story
- Monday with Holly's return
- Tuesday ITV inquiery with parlement (?)

Right?

Ok! Here goes…

Until…if ever.. we hear a statement from him we will never know.

Like many people on here I was quick to point the finger at PS and say it is all his fault. He certainly should have known better as everyone has jumped to the same conclusion that he has behaved no better than his brother. I still can’t understand how you can have a sexual attraction to someone years younger but many do.

It’s true people have not persecuted Bill Wyman, Cheryl Cole, Al Pacino, Paul O’ Grady or anyone else in big age difference relationships.

We know for a fact they met when MM was a child.

Age difference isn't the issue. There are many other issues at play. Mainly grooming of a child. MM was a child when they first met. PS was a man with a lot of power that he employed to leverage a young man's career. And when it went tits up, he got him removed from TM

It's untrue people have not said anything re Wyman and Cole. Wyman should have been prosecuted. Cole flirted with a 14yo: while that's gross, she didn't as far as I know groom him.

My partner is 19 years younger than me but I met him when he was 30. I wasn't the patron of his youth theatre and I didn't accelerate his career because I'm a huge TV star. Power differential.

As I previously stated, until we hear from MM we cannot judge! Yes they initially met when MM was very young. What happened then? Do you know for sure? I don’t….

Just catching up with the latest from Frizell in the DM. Deary me. It’s just disaffected people settling scores, apparently. But he would say that, wouldn’t he? And btw, what is that weird hank of long greasy hair he has, masquerading as a haircut? For heavens sake, man….

His floppy hair really is awful 🤣 him saying its people with scores to settle just makes you think there must have been something going on!
 
Pip said he’s paying MM’s legal fees so there’s very little chance that he’ll talk. He also made a big show that MM wants nothing more than for all of this to go away.

The story of him coming out isn’t of the timeframe as I’d thought as he described it. Though there’s been so much information my brain has been frazzled these past few weeks. I thought the NTA were Wednesday when MM declared his love for Pip and confronted Holly outside. Pip came out on the following Friday morning. Or have I made this up. He denies the Sun going to break the story and says it was planned with a private small WhatsApp group a while in advance. Strange if Eamon says they got a call that Friday only. Philip’s explanations have lots of holes which makes me know we are still being lied to. Those who don’t know him well are falling for it hook Line and sinker!

I do wonder if MM is having some say in this, the way PS kept bleating on that this young man is in no way to blame and he’s sorry to his friends and family. I don’t think many, if any think the young man is to blame and odd to say he’s sorry to his friends, family I understand. Would he really keep emphasising the point MM is in no way to blame if he didn’t have to. In some way I hope that’s not the case, it would be nice if MM felt comfortable enough to speak out in his own right, rather than Schofield doing all the talking woe is me act.

So freaking true! I’m silencing my mate by saying that you, the public, the press, can have a go at me but I’m soo sorry for my mate - not my boyfriend, not anyone really important to me, not someone good enough for me to be in a relationship with... just a mate. Jesus, shoot me now. Disgusting and belittling and, worse of all, silencing.
 
I think Eamonn's mental health would be more compromised at this stage?He lives with a chronic pain condition and has risked a lot to try to expose PS for what he is...He now stands to get ostracised for speaking out. Frizzell will make sure of that. His wife may also suffer as a result of the interviews.
He took a risk and I hope it doesn't backfire on him and Ruth. Living with chronic pain is hard as it is.
 
Long time lurker, but have never felt the need to comment before - you witches do it brilliantly and say everything I’m thinking. But I HAD to share this article for you all. Apologies if it’s been shared and seen already. This poor lady lived the treatment at TM, and completely agrees and backs up everything that’s being reported.

This programme needs to go!

I quit my TV executive job at ITV’s This Morning in a feminist protest at the toxic, sexist culture I witnessed there

I saw casual - and sometimes blatant - sexism at the highest levels on the show.

Absolutely not! It’s not about me….
MM needs to give his account of things before anyone can judge.

Well, yes, exactly. Who would? It is about safeguarding the needs of a vulnerable child.

You aren't serious? You don't see the power imbalance in any relationship between the two? That's classic grooming. The age at which they had sex is irrelevant. It's the context.
