Being serious for a minute, I agree. Doesn't affect or interest me in the least.

His wife and kids, I would imagine. The jokes about Gordon the Gopher being fisted have started already. 😂 Gordon has joined the #metoo movement. Seriously, how is this even news? Minor celebrity who everyone assumed was gay says he’s gay and it’s on the BBC news headlines for Christ’s sake! World’s gone mad. I understand now. The TV luvvies are closing ranks to protect one of their own. Turns out the Grannies’ favourite has been having a 6 year affair with a 24 year old TV show runner he met when he was patron of the kid’s theatre company. Savile, Harris, now Schofield. |

I think it's unfair to compare him to two known sex offenders!

Nothing illegal about shagging an 18 year old. Two 9 year olds on the other hand...

It's important when the relationship became 'proper' - that might not have happened when they first met. But previous to condemn the poor guy just yet.

True. If I was the father of a 15 year old child being courted by a married 50 year old bloke I’d be reassured he was going to wait until their 18th birthday before consummating the relationship.

Where are you getting the 15 years old from? There’s tweets between them going back to 2011. |

Source? I've not seen anything suggesting that and without knowing the contents of the tweets then it's not possible to judge.

Why would a 50 year old gay man start following a 15 year old boy on twitter?

Why does anybody follow anybody on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or YouTube? Maybe they had interesting content? In the absence of corroborating details, age and sexual preference could be completely irrelevant.
It's like the paranoid parent who sees a man with a camera near children in a public place so therefore he must be a paedophile.

A rather similar story to the Gentleman in the Scottish parliament and about to deliver a budget when the story dropped.

The contents of those messages were revealed. While they were clearly inappropriate, the boy was 16 and of the age of consent, so the legal issue is something of a grey area as regards grooming.

Had my Spotify hacked. I didn't realise until I was coming back from Manchester yesterday. My music would randomly stop playing and some weird Swedish stuff would start. I would close down the app and restart, only for it to happen again. I gave up and listened to the radio in the end.
It's quite common, apparently. When I got home, a few strange songs had been added to my liked list. Changed password, signed every device out and deauthorised all devices before logging back in. I only use my phone, tablet and Sonos, but there was someone using Chrome browser to control it.

Random question of the day: if McVitie's Jaffa Cakes are cakes, why do they make Jaffa Cake cakes?

Wasn't the Jaffa cake thing a VAT case? Yes. In the madness of tax case law, a cake is an essential foodstuff and is therefore zero rated, whereas a chocolate biscuit is not and it is standard rated. Caramel shortcake is a cake but those McVities digestives with caramel and chocolate are standard rated. A bull in a china shop couldn't make more of a mess. |

It all hinged on the fact that cake (zero rated) goes hard as it ages, whereas biscuits (VAT rated) go soft. Jaffa Cakes go hard and therefore are not biscuits but cakes - as the name implies.
Take that taxman!

That's all very interesting, but you're not answering the question!  Another thing; you always find Jaffa Cakes in the biscuit aisle in the supermarket but the Jaffa Cake cakes are in the cake aisle. I don't think the supermarkets are taking this important matter seriously... |

Aren't the Jaffa Cake Cakes just massive oblong jaffa cakes?

I don't think the supermarkets are taking this important matter seriously... It’s like 4 finger Kit Kats are classed as confectionery and sold as such while 2 finger bars are classed as biscuits and sold as such in the biscuit aisle. It’s a clever way for the manufacturer to get two bites at passing consumers. |

They also do strawberry Jaffa Cakes and Jaffa Cake cakes. What's Jaffa about a strawberry? Also available; Pineapple Jaffa Cake cakes. Actually they sound quite nice. Might have to track some down! Only 65p. www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/303193508 |

Yum!  Only one drawback; they're not on special offer anymore. The proper price is another quid on top. |

Back to random. Gwyneth Paltrow's elitist oddball website will, I have been informed, sell you a candle for $75 that smells like her vagina.
What does it say about someone that they think other people will want there house to smell like your most intimate parts?
