Yesterday, over 550,000 people read my post exposing the carefully managed PR statements hiding the David Walliams scandal. Today, the cowardice of the British media establishment has reached an entirely new level.

Jonathan Ross just released a public statement claiming he is horrified by the allegations against Walliams and the crimes of Russell Brand.

He actually expects the public to believe he spent two decades sharing green rooms and VIP parties with these men while remaining completely blind to their behavior.

Look at the exact historical record they are trying to erase right now.

In 2004, Ross stood on a live stage at the British Comedy Awards and explicitly joked that the 15-year-old award was drunk and probably going home with David Walliams.

There is literally a photograph from 2003 showing Ross and other elite broadcasters smiling for the camera while Walliams sits right next to them with his arm draped around a teenager he is now accused of pursuing.

You do not broadcast jokes about 15-year-olds going home with a television star to millions of viewers unless the entire industry already knows exactly what the punchline means.

The British entertainment industry operated as a closed protection racket for twenty years. They turned predatory behavior into profitable television ratings and laughed off the abuse as cheeky celebrity banter.

These presenters are not releasing statements today because they are shocked by what Walliams and Brand actually did. They are releasing them because the expensive legal injunctions are finally failing, and they are terrified the public is coming for the enablers next.

@_LisaCherry Look forward to reading, just starting a project on belonging and yes linking oracy

@Keirwales So helpful, I’m going to be promoting formulation throughout our wider service and will pinch some of this

[deeburf @deeburf]

@Keirwales A great thread. And resonances for wellbeing of children in care who find themselves with high staff ratios, students showing distressed behaviour in schools too. 🙏

[deeburf @deeburf]

@ProfJDMcMullen This is very timely, thanks for sharing 🙏

[John McMullen @ProfJDMcMullen]

I’ve seen teachers taking bit of stick recently. This paper, published today, might offer a little insight for those who have never been in a classroom but are quick to disparage the contribution of school staff

[deeburf @deeburf]

@PhoenixEdSarah Thanks! I’m really interested, so hope to see opportunities 🙏 really important 🙏

@KatieCurtis Agh Katie, don’t give me another night like last night 😭 what a human being ❤️ and a deeply human response we’re having ❤️

[The Royal Family @RoyalFamily]

Remembering the late, great Dolly, who brought joy, comfort and inspiration to so many - including the millions of children given free books through her Imagination Library. We will always ❤️ you.

[Department for Education @educationgovuk]

Dolly Parton at the Department for Education in 2008. She had to be smuggled in through the backdoor to avoid detection.

Dolly's Imagination Library has put millions of books into children's hands and sparked a lifelong love of reading among young people around the globe.

An absolute icon, she will be missed but her legacy lives on.

This note in the final book from Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library wrecked me last year when my daughter turned 5. Tearing up again reading it now.

[Tim Burgess @Tim_Burgess]

Those blokes in their billionaire ego space race.

And Dolly Parton quietly went about giving more than 100 million books to kids and helped fund the vaccine

Be more Dolly
