Hardeep Singh Kohli arrested for sex offences.

Is there anyone that works for bbc that is not a sex offender?

I take offence at him being named without any evidence of him having being a comedian.

He’s a well known nob.

If he's a penis then a diseased penis with those pus-filled spots.

Rotten organisation. Everyone has know it for years.

With the whole Richard Sharp thing on top... if you still pay for a TV license you're actually supporting crime and corruption. For what? Dr Who?

Does being arrested in connection with offences automatically mean that everyone can start describing someone as an offender until such time as they might become convicted?

Do you not think that because the BBC is still the biggest broadcaster and once upon a time, was the only or almost the only one, means it's far more likely that someone who's accused of wrongdoing will work or have worked for the BBC? Also most BBC types are self employed, so often not directly employed by them.

I don't know if there is something amiss at the BBC in terms of the culture. It is very unfortunate that there have been several historic and more recent cases of abuse among people who work/have worked for the BBC.

Also... There are layers of protection there.

For it just to come out immediately with his name means he's probably fucked.

I haven’t read up fully on this case so this might not apply but it seems the BBC have ignored complaints in all of the cases that have came out. That’s what I meant by them having a problem.

I have never heard of this guy but a look on his Wikipedia page shows that whilst he has done many BBC shows he has also worked for Channel 4, Channel 5, The Guardian and the list goes on. Are we going include those in our rants?

He is also Scottish so does that mean we tar everyone in Scotland?

How about we all stop throwing our toys around, see what actually transpires criminally (if anything) and then go loony?

Ah, understood. I do think there are problems when an organisation is more often than not contracting with people as self employed persons rather than employing them directly. It muddies the HR waters and also we all know that HR processes and policies were nowhere near up to scratch across the board, until recent years. Some of the behaviour I've seen over the years of my employment attests to that.

I don't have T.V in my home so I don't get depressed over crap in the "news" . So yet another BBC "employee" is accused of sex offences, no surprise there. What really gets my goat is why are the "accused" in these matters named before even going to trial, let alone before a verdict, yet accusers are given the privilege of anonymity! I think it very unfair, and of course even if totally innocent their careers are ruined at the very least.

This also of course lays the situation open for the nasty scammers and schemers to jump on the bandwagon in the hope of getting pity, fame or monetary gain, which of course has happened before!

When an organisation has a track record of ignoring allegations,protecting its "stars" by tactics such as intimidating whistleblowers,not taking people seriously etc,perverts will find a home there(just like the church,same track record).People will inevitably doubt the innocence of anyone connected with the Beeb.The idea the BBC,other organisations and a large percentage of the population has "learned the lessons" of Jimmy Saville is laughable.

I'm not aware of Scotland,C4,C5,Guardian etc having the same dismal record as the Broken Biscuit Corporation.

Exactly this!

I’m not even sure if even being named once charged is fair either. It’s the conviction that matters, and until then they remain legally innocent. Yet for any accusation around sex, even a not guilty verdict is often insufficient to restore character and reputation.

Quite.

Plus if he's been outright named straight off the bat... People are protected to a degree more and more these days, but the BBC lawyers must have just completely dipped out to allow that to happen.

You only have to read a few of the comments above to see that some people don’t think the legal verdict is what matters. They subscribe to the “no smoke without fire” view of the world.

Whilst some smoke does come from fire (and may well in this case), some smoke doesn’t come from fire (and may well in this case). I personally agree with your statement that sexual crime accusations need to be handled very sensitively because of the career ending implications of the “no smoke” brigade.

Whaley Bridge,Nr Buxton,

Of course the legal verdict matters.Saville and his chums were protected by and took advantage of those who said "it's just a witchunt","it's an excuse to bash the Beeb","it's just the no smoke without fire brigade".Paedo's wear those people like a flak jacket and cloak of invisibility.I (and many others) were nearly victims of a now jailed semi celeb paedo who operated for 40 years,partly because people said "witch-hunt","it's just the no smoke brigade","it's attention seeking" instead of listening to the victims and near victims.Those people are as guilty of his crimes as he is because they provided the protection for him to operate.

The Police have improved dramatically over the last decade or so when it comes to sex allegations.If they have arrested this guy they have credible information/evidence on which to execute that arrest,unless the cops are going round arresting people for a laugh.Whether such information is god enough to put before a court or secure conviction is another matter entirely.There are plenty of people every year not brought before a court because the evidence isn't quiet there to secure or have a high chance of conviction.The aforementioned semi celeb paedo was jailed for only a small number of offences brought before the court,many are on file because the evidence wasn't strong enough.The victims know he is guilty of many more.When he was finally revealed to be a paedo it was interesting just how many of the "it's a witchunt/just the no smoke brigade getting it wrong" apologists changed their narrative to "I always knew he was a wrong 'un".

What happens to all those people you “know” to be a “wrong un” that actually are innocent?

Contrary to the picture you are painting above the police do not have an exemplary track record in identifying people who are actually guilty. By way of example just this month: Andrew Malkinson. Operation Yewtree identified many paedophiles. It also clearly misidentified many innocent people and destroyed lives.

There is a reason we have a separation of duty between the police and the judges - so as to test the allegations and see whether they are true. Prematurely judging those outcomes is a stain on our society.

I get this is an emotive subject and you are, no doubt, right that guilty people will go free. But justice is never served by hot headed emotion and public fury.

"Of course the legal verdict matters.Saville and his chums were protected by and took advantage of those who said "it's just a witchunt","it's an excuse to bash the Beeb","it's just the no smoke without fire brigade".Paedo's wear those people like a flak jacket and cloak of invisibility.I (and many others) were nearly victims of a now jailed semi celeb paedo who operated for 40 years,partly because people said "witch-hunt","it's just the no smoke brigade","it's attention seeking" instead of listening to the victims and near victims.Those people are as guilty of his crimes as he is because they provided the protection for him to operate.

The Police have improved dramatically over the last decade or so when it comes to sex allegations.If they have arrested this guy they have credible information/evidence on which to execute that arrest,unless the cops are going round arresting people for a laugh.Whether such information is god enough to put before a court or secure conviction is another matter entirely.There are plenty of people every year not brought before a court because the evidence isn't quiet there to secure or have a high chance of conviction.The aforementioned semi celeb paedo was jailed for only a small number of offences brought before the court,many are on file because the evidence wasn't strong enough.The victims know he is guilty of many more.When he was finally revealed to be a paedo it was interesting just how many of the "it's a witchunt/just the no smoke brigade getting it wrong" apologists changed their narrative to "I always knew he was a wrong 'un".

What happens to all those people you “know” to be a “wrong un” that actually are innocent?

Contrary to the picture you are painting above the police do not have an exemplary track record in identifying people who are actually guilty. By way of example just this month: Andrew Malkinson. Operation Yewtree identified many paedophiles. It also clearly misidentified many innocent people and destroyed lives.

There is a reason we have a separation of duty between the police and the judges - so as to test the allegations and see whether they are true. Prematurely judging those outcomes is a stain on our society.

I get this is an emotive subject and you are, no doubt, right that guilty people will go free. But justice is never served by hot headed emotion and public fury."

Well said. Waiting for proper proof and due process doesnt suit some of the string 'em up mob.

Read my post properly.I talked about those people who said "it's a witchunt/the no smoke without fire brigade getting it wrong" doing a 180 u turn and trying to claim the guy they had been defending,they knew to be a wrong un.My post had absolutely nothing to do with anyone "I knew" to be a wrong un being innocent.Again read properly,I never said the Police had an exemplary record,I said they had improved and they don't act without reason,they are the first test of allegations,tell them an implausible story or do it in an unconvincing way,without details, it goes nowhere.Remember they deal with liars all day every day,as I do,you get good at spotting bullshitters.I am not speaking in "hot headed emotion or fury",I am speaking as a near victim of a paedo,as someone who has experienced the apologists,the "it's a witchunt"the inaction,disinterest,the bullshit,ignorance etc.Its not emotive for me,it's Saville and his mates all over again,de ja vu,groundhog day,people with no experience flapping their mouths like a cows arse in May and talking bollocks.Yet again read my post properly,I started by saying the "legal verdict matters", that rather suggests I am not judging the outcome prematurely.Some of the shite posted in this thread is why paedo's will go on and on for so long with so many victims before they are caught.They play you like a second hand fiddle and blinded by your righteousness you don't know it .......

Must admit I had to Google it, to put a face to the name.

No comment from me, since I don't know enough about the case in question to form an opinion.

Hoping, justice will prevail.

"For once I can be edgy and say who?

He was popular there a over a decade ago.

Just some shitty presenter who everyone thought was funny.

I googled him and sort of recognise him. The BBC really need to admit they have a problem.

Do you not think that because the BBC is still the biggest broadcaster and once upon a time, was the only or almost the only one, means it's far more likely that someone who's accused of wrongdoing will work or have worked for the BBC? Also most BBC types are self employed, so often not directly employed by them.

I don't know if there is something amiss at the BBC in terms of the culture. It is very unfortunate that there have been several historic and more recent cases of abuse among people who work/have worked for the BBC."

All big organisations like to cover up the bad apples within them, the BBC is not unique. The people attacking the BBC probably defend the Met Police despite the record of some their employees.

Is it not the case that what people are labelling as "the bbc" are a handful of alleged cases of on screen talent? In an organisation of 10s of thousands. Are they therefore institionally perverted? I wonder in your street how many such criminals exist? Not making excuses but just wonder if everyone applies the same standards and outrage to others who no doubt walk among us.

Like quite a lot of the posts in the thread. Its a fact a lot the attacks on the BBC are led people's political leanings and their perception of the BBC political leaning. Otherwise they would be equally outraged by other large organisations with undesirable employees.

They might have been. But just don't see the same amount of posts on these forums has you do when it's a BBC employee or someone associated with the BBC.

So you didn't see all the Schofield threads and posts? There were easily as many without including those taken down by the mods.

Maybe, but wasn't that because Philip Schofield is a well known celebrity. I mean most don't even know who Hardres Kohli is.

Also most of the posts, from what I recall were mostly gloating at Schofields demise, because of a dislike for Philip Schofield. Cant recall many attacking ITV.
