​@@followenzo Because on one end they don't want to get sued, on the other they know this goes far beyond ITV or Phil. There's 100% pedo's at The Sun, most media, the police, the government, the oppsition, and the entertainment industry so obviously. It's all a goddamn conspiracy. We know these people are in positions of power and they all cover. Phil will either wriggle out of it or be a scapegoat, even then I doubt he'll serve time. Hell, while we are at it, Cliff Richards is no innocent man either. Got no evidence admittedly, but the gut is a powerful tool and there's bound to be evidence. His reaction to being proved "innocent" was not normal. He couldn't wait to jump on the media train and was practically screaming "I got away with it!". God this country disgusts me.

"It's accepted by Leonardo DiCaprio, it is not accepted if it's in the gay world" ... I'm sorry, this is such a ridiculous statement. First off, it's quite clear from the online discourse that people do not accept DiCaprio's choice to date 19-year-olds, it's constantly called out. But the difference here is that DiCaprio doesn't visit the schools of his future lovers when they're 15, he doesn't take control of their careers by giving them jobs in his movies, and, crucially, he isn't cheating on anybody whilst he is doing this. Schofield, regardless of how things "just happened" in your mind, if you look at the facts you targeted a vulnerable underage child, promised him dreams of TV stardom, gave him a job on your TV show, and then slept with him. Can somebody tell me how this isn't grooming? To me, this looks like a coordinated effort to get into this poor lad's pants from the second they met...

When he asks what´s wrong to talk with people any age😠 He thinks it´s acceptable a 50-60 year old man talking online with an UNDERAGE MINOR CHILD🤬I guarantee I would never allow a grown ass adult chatting online with my 12 year old boy,especially without my knowlege or behind my back - Much less MEETING HIM ALONE or taking him anywhere an UNDERAGE MINOR CHILD - Career advise doesn´t happen in hotels,restaurants,private apartments - it happens in professional settings,full of people,not in private rooms. I find it disgusting that he excuses his behaviour naming other cases like "they do it and nobody says anything"- as if it makes it OK,then; Then he excuses himself saying the backlash is because he is gay,when in fact the gay card protects him - if it was the other way around,police would be investigating. He then calls it a workplace affair, knowing it is documented abuse of power, on a young immature person who he keeps victimising,hiring lawyers for him to control the narrative maybe even manipulating him to sign paperwork.... Thank God for this interview where he shows exactly who he is and admits what he admits - imo police has to act now,after hearing this as they should already be investigating this man when he declared on msm press his brother told him in 2021 what he was doing with CHILDREN and,instead of reporting him to the police,he tells him to check a doctor; He says he has a very happy marriage....But lies to his wife for decades, lies to his daughters who must be mortified,gives this interview "both parts in agreement" meaning his lawyers prepared the story, claims it was consensual when he IS THE INFLUENCIAL ADULT who can ruin the young man´s life even more then he already did, and has the AUDACITY to say "I didn´t groom him, but this was the process of me slowly getting to know an underage boy, leading to an eventual sexual relationship"? Police should investigate him and all his apologist supporters who can´t see anything wrong with this "because others do it" and Schofield should listen to himself in this interview,because all he cares is me,me,me,and his career when he should be BEHIND BARS after what he addmitted. I shiver to think about how many schools he visited and how many UNDERAGE CHILDREN he can be chatting online. Is that the reason why he hired people to scrub the internet?

Most likely a send up because Schofield asked David Cameron about an uninvestigated list of pedophiles on This Morning. What most Britishers are too thick to understand is that the genuine Epstein Islanders who run the media try to create stirs here and there to keep peoples minds off who the genuine, billionaire, WEF, Epstein Island class are and the practically unimaginable extent of what they are up to (clue, it's not someone at the 'Schofield' order of things). Thick Britishers always did like watching balls bouncing around fields and courts (nothing wrong with sports at all of course, in fact people not being involved in sports is likely a bigger issue than not, but it's a problem when you can't see when a bouncing ball is being used to distract your mind and cognitive abilities). If Britishers understood who their actual Oligarchical class were, stretching over both political spheres, with their woke and warfare and 'you'll eat bugs and be happy' peddling as they go on completely unimaginable in scale noncing benders 24/7, there would be oligarch blood running thick on the streets, starting with the bosses of all the mainstream media outlets.
