Isn't the story though that they been trying to shift Boaden for some time now? They wanted to shift her to Head of Audio but she refused. Her expectations may not be met, here.

From Ch4's Alex Thompson: "George Entwhistle's pay-off amounts to about £260 for every working day of his 23y at BBC"
That cushions the sword falling a wee bit.

More like £70 a day if you exclude his pension pot.

This might sound stupid, but does anyone else feel that the BBC are in a 'can't win' kind of situation as regards everything going on?

In a statement, the Met said the latest arrest "falls under the strand of the investigation we have termed 'Others'", meaning the allegations are unrelated to Savile.

There is no suggestion that any allegations of paedophilia have been made against Mr Travis, but two women have come forward in recent weeks claiming he groped them during the 1970s and 1980s.One of the women, who was aged 17 at the time alleged that Mr Travis had invited her into his studio in 1977 and put his hand up her skirt.
One of the women, who was aged 17 at the time alleged that Mr Travis had invited her into his studio in 1977 and put his hand up her skirt.
What is the chance of actually being charged with this 3 decades later?
― pandemic, Thursday, 15 November 2012 14:34 (eleven years ago) link
Flight of fancy time: DLT has been accused, recently, of this.
Maybe, he has sent letters via lawyers about this, possibly demanding retraction/apology from the accuser(s).
So, they have to either make the apology, or take it that stage further.
All of this is conjecture, obviously.

This image from upthread really disturbs me. My mother was a registered child minder in the 70's and it is from a promotional booklet to encourage 70's housewives to take up child minding. I can remember seeing in my house when I was a child, in fact it is probably still at my mother's house - the hoarder she is! What really saddens me is that my mother and all her brothers came from the 50's Dublin care system and had seen it all before
