What he did wat totally counterproductive for those trying to get justice for victims of abuse. He actually managed to lose those affected public support..
What the heck was he thinking, to be fair the producers and others involved in the show would have been aware of this 'presentation' to the PM.

Interesting to me that Philip Schofield hasn't been made to personally ,on air, apologise to the viewers for his extremely bad presenting that day and also to publicly apologise to the PM too for ambushing him with that list too.
Even pressing the PM to say had he seen those names and would he be talking to any of them.

All we got was an apology from Schofield read out by Ruth the next day since friday is Philip's and Holly's day off.
Quite frankly for me, he could on screen do the ambush and try to look clever with the PM, so since it was clearly wrong of him to do so, then he should,at the very least, apologise himself,directly on screen too.

he didnt even apologise for the witch hunt or for encouraging innocent people to be targetted and destroyed , he just apologized if anyone had managed to read his list of names. the man is a disgrace. he should have been sacked.

I agree, for me he way overstepped the mark of being a Presenter of a daily show on TV.
He has come across as obseesed with the Savile and abuse issues.

hes been at it for ages....he also stirred the whole imogen affair story daily, whilst the revolting imogen milked it for sympathy and money? sympathy and money for what? having an affair then trying to entrap the footballer with paparazzi then trying to sell her story and make as much dosh as possible form it....schofield got her on with max clifford a few times, handing her handkercheifs and giving her filth even more airtime, the whole interview was biased in her favour, so much so they even gave her a job on the show....

meanwhile the footballer had an injunction which the judge rightly gave him, to prevent imogen making money from the alleged affair....I 100% agree with the judgement, as footballer , whether he had an affair or not, was not attempting to profiteer from the scandal, hes always been profoundly private and never given 1 personal interview...she was simply profiteering from the kiss and tell scandal...the judge was right and despite the disgusting gossip mongers of twitter, he was right to fight for privacy. yes partly it was to save his own ego, partly to save his family more embarassment, but also to stop imogen milking all the sordid details for money for years ahead.

the whole this morning show is sordid trash tv, endless gutter press and gossip mongers, tabloid press, the likes of clifford and carole malone, witch hunts, endless paedophile chaisng then just scantily clad people in underwear, just utterly tacky and dangerous inappropriate daytime tv

Lord McAlpine will seek a larger payout from ITV than the £185,000 he received over his libel claim against the BBC, his lawyers have confirmed.

They contacted ITV after presenter Phillip Schofield handed the prime minister a list of alleged abusers live on the This Morning show on 8 November.

An ITV spokesman said: "We have received correspondence from Lord McAlpine's representatives and we will be responding in due course."

Will he go for the full mill or more ?

Half a Million ITV must pay,
take it out of the producer's and Phillips pay.

Yes Phil loved the power of the Stupid Corrupt List

So split the half million between them.

Conservative peer Lord McAlpine has reached a £125,000 settlement with ITV and Phillip Schofield.

It is in relation to a This Morning programme broadcast in November during which the presenter handed the prime minister a list of names of alleged abusers he had found on the internet.

This followed a Newsnight investigation which led to the peer being wrongly accused of child abuse.

His solicitor, Andrew Reid, told the BBC his client was "pleased" with the size of the ITV settlement, which he described as "pragmatic".

"We accepted the legal argument that the Newsnight programme had effectively set the pot - it was already boiling at that point.

"The Schofield stunt added fuel to the fire that was already there and we had to take that into account," he said.

Mr Reid confirmed that legal action will now be taken against other parties, such as newspapers and high-profile users of the social-networking site Twitter.

Among them is Sally Bercow, wife of the speaker of the House of Commons John Bercow, whose legal team has been in touch with Mr Reid.

Lord McAlpine has asked those who linked him to child abuse allegations on Twitter and other social networks to apologise formally and pay a "sensible and modest amount", which he plans to donate to BBC Children in Need.

Mr Reid added that they had spoken to "senior officers" at Scotland Yard to discuss criminal behaviour on Twitter.

"There are a hard core of people who are re-tweeting and who are basically acting maliciously. This is an offence."

He added, however, that it was up to the police to decide whether to investigate further.

Bercow's next .....
