What we know:

Well loved

Has been suspended

Is paid £35,000

Male

Surely we can figure it out?

EDIT:

The allegations, first reported by the Sun on Friday, are that the BBC presenter paid £35,000 for explicit photos over a three-year period, starting when the teenager was 17

Sorry, misunderstood this part. Maybe we cannot figure it out

Great Uncle Bulgaria didn’t come from Bulgaria, he was named after it, besides, it’s his first name, his surname is Coburg, and he didn’t come from there either, he always lived in the UK, since the 1600s.

Sorry, you can’t just slander wombles.

I’m genuinely struggling to think of a BBC presenter that is “well loved”.

That’s a bit harsh, there are plenty. Some proper wrong 'uns have pointed the finger at David Attenborough and I hope there’s a special place in Hell for them.

The Sun is reporting they’re on a six figure salary and were due to be presenting on Friday, but were removed.

I’m hearing reports that Mr Blobby hasn’t been seen around Television Centre for a few days now.

This kind of implies he was regularly wandering the corridors, which is disconcerting.

Blobby doesn’t wander, he stalks. Relentless in his search for Blackburn.

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
