This is shambolic. BBC presenters getting defamed left, right & centre. I’ve seen one (innocent) presenter’s pic with word “nonce” across it. People will speculate. I don’t know (legal) solution for BBC, but this is a sick (and unfair) party game of ‘last one to deny is it’.

My finest moment in journalism? Being accidentally copied in to a ‘reply all’ email after I’d been asked to submit a piece to a local newsletter about a community group. It was sent to the newsletter’s editor, saying: “Here’s Mary’s piece. I’ve rewritten it so it makes sense.”
