To this end, announced a spokesman, all staff will be “given training”. The council has promised that it won’t happen again. On Saturday, a member of the public noticed that, in one of the council’s buildings, the lights had been left on overnight. Cornwall Council, however, is possibly being a touch over-zealous. It’s always good to see councils tackling waste. Will the last person to leave Cornwall Council please turn out the lights It would be awful if we automatically believed them.

The internet is full of horrible rumours about famous people’s private lives. “I’m worried about the sort of thing you’re doing right now, giving a list of names that you’ve taken off the internet.” “There’s a danger, if we’re not careful, that this could turn into a sort of witch hunt, particularly against people who are gay,” he said. Instead, he politely but firmly explained to Mr Schofield that his behaviour was deeply reckless. Terrible kiddy-fiddler, though.”)įunnily enough, this is not what Mr Cameron did. Three: old mate of mine actually, we go back a long way. In any case, how did he want the PM to respond? By working his way through the list, live on air, saying whether he reckoned each person on it was innocent or guilty? (“Number one: yeah, definite paedo. Imagine if the names on his piece of paper had been clearly visible on screen. And yet here he was, presenting the fruits of his “research” to the actual prime minister, on national television. Mr Schofield’s sole source seemed to be a load of gossip posted by unknown internet users. “I have those names there,” he announced, dramatically – and, with a flourish, handed Mr Cameron a piece of paper. With the air of Woodward and Bernstein blowing open Watergate, Mr Schofield declared that, during a “cursory glance at the internet – it took me about three minutes last night”, he’d found a list of names of alleged Westminster paedophiles. So, when David Cameron, the then prime minister, agreed to be interviewed on This Morning, he knew he’d be asked about it.Įven so, he can’t possibly have foreseen Mr Schofield’s spectacularly misguided line of questioning. For a while, however, the mood was feverish. It was eventually established that this speculation was baseless. Specifically, in November 2012 – when he was responsible for the most stupendously ill-judged piece of television I’ve ever seen.Īt the time, Westminster was gripped by speculation about historic child sex offences allegedly perpetrated by senior Tory figures. Personally, though, I’ve often wondered why he wasn’t sacked years ago. Given how little ITV has actually said about it, fans of This Morning may still be wondering why exactly Phillip Schofield has gone.
