or is it a dangerous juvenile stunt too far from philip schofield
handing cameron a list of celebrity names whose names have been bandied around the internet as possible paedophiles..is this the best way to catch them or is this a dangerous witch hunt?.
failing to cover the names so the camera could pick up those names was very careless?
was cameron right to suggest we avoid this witch hunt and encourage people to go to the police?

[Benjamin]

Hhhm, dangerous territory. What happens if that person isn't but their name has been included. That is their reputation tarnished for no reason.

[Mystic Mock]

Phillip Schofield is a twat that thinks he can do what he wants and that he'll never be punished for it, although David Cameron put his foot in his mouth with basically saying that all paedophiles are gay.

cameron didnt say that at all

[Vicky.]

It was such a bizzarre thing to do.

The camera thing was ridiculous...

And the PM WAS right to say to go to the police instead of joining the witch hunt, however he hasnt seemed to care much about the media witch hunt until it involved a few of his mates :/

[Cherie]

Poor old Phil, I think he thought he was Jeremy Paxman for the day... he really should leave the serious stuff to the professionals.

David would never have made that gaffe on Newsnight, he must have been focussed on Holly's boobs.

[Mystic Mock]

Not exactly like that but it's how it came across.

[Marsh.]

No, Cameron was saying the opposite.

He was simply saying that if this kind of "witch hunt" escalates then people's possibly innocent names will be dragged through the mud for random reasons. The slightest thing that works against them will put them under scrutiny. Unfortunately, even today, that could include being gay.

Granted, the way he worded it was odd but I kind of got his point.

[King Gizzard]

and how many on that list will simply be on there because people think they ''look dodgy''?

A completely foolish thing to do and he's quite lucky he's still in a job

[Mystic Mock]

Phillip Schofield should at least be sacked after this.

He may well get the chop if this story gathers momentum. Still he's got Mr and Mrs, the Cube and DOI to fall back on.

No he was a blinking idiot and trying to be clever,I usually have a lot of time for him,but this was immature and Yes anyone with any sensibility would agree with the PM,it's dangerous and stupid,at least he has apologised but really he had to.

[Kizzy]

It was a very silly thing to do, phil should march round to my house immediately for a spanking!

He didn't say they were all gay Mock,he was right pulling Phil up on it ,he said it was dangerous and he is right,Phil Scholfield thought he was being clever I think.

I doubt any of the would have been his 'mates' as weren't they from the Thatcher years?supposedly

[Vicky.]

Party... might have been a better way of putting it.

Either way he was right to say what he said, though the bit about gays came across quite wrong, but pretty sure he didnt mean it the way it came across

[Marcus.]

he going to be in hot water

[joeysteele]

Philip Schofield and Holly to a degree have become real gossipmongers as to the Saville issues and anything to do with abuse scandals.

He went on about getting that info of the people on the list within minutes then thrust them at the PM like a cat that had got the cream.
I think David Cameron dealt with it really well, I would guess that likely the names contained were of people who were possibly gay which is also likely why David Cameron said he wanted no sort of witchunt related to gay people.

Philip has got way too big for his boots on This Morning, I rarely watch it when he and Holly are on if I am able to watch it.
A housemate recorded it for me today because I wanted to see what David Cameron said generally but I think this was unprofessional, childish,inappropriate and totally wrong presenting from Schofield.

I was then stunned further when he said to the PM as to the names on the list, would he, the PM, be speaking to any of them.
What a pathetic performance and also in my view a dangerous one.
He won't be there tomorrow as he and Holly are off on fridays usually, if I had my way, he'd be suspended.

I abhor all the revelations as to Jimmy Saville but I have got really sick of Schofields near obsession with the topic and he and Holly turning 'This Morning' into a gossip shop about it day after day.

the entire Savile case has been subject to the same word-of-mouth tattle and hysterical media gossip-mongering as a celebrity divorce. It's shameful. It's no surprise that the two most-posted threads of Omah's are the Savile one and the Katie Price one. To some, Savile is just another morbid conversation. This should be more than that.

Your acknowledgement is duly noted .....

[Livia]

That's what we need, a lightweight gossip-monger masquerading as a TV presenter setting themselves up as the morality police for the nation. Stick to talking about HRT, makeup and Marks and Spencer's cardigans to the nation's housewives, Phil, it's much more your style. I always thought the Gopher was the real star.

Should you really be using this thread as a platform to have a pop at other members shaun?
Omah posts snippets of relevant information on a subject that is very emotive for forum discussion. I thought that was the point of serious debates?
Getting back to the topic, I was shocked Phil was so outspoken in front of the PM... he will get his knuckles rapped no doubt!

I concur, the gopher should fire his tormentor schofield and throw in the dreadful holly to boot.

100% agree Joey well said as usual
