Agree wholeheartedly. The only power we plebs have is to 'vote with our feet'. If enough people stopped buying their cr*p instead of simply moaning about how terrible it is while continuing to read it, they'd soon change or go out of business.

'Tis a wonder they didn't, when fish 'n' chip shops stopped wrapping the orders in 'em!

First point PS visited a school drama department, so the kids there were interested in the media, so naturally the boy in question was one of those who was there.
Thats it. PS leaves with the rest of the crew and thats the only contact they have.
So did he 'know him' as you've said. No, they met that once as part of a school visit.

Roll forward 3 or 4 years
'Boy' now a man, applies for a job at ITV, and no doubt states in his CV he was part of the PS visit. Maybe that helped, but whatever the reasons for him getting the job are ITV related and nothing to do with PS.
Man is gay. PS obviously has doubts to his own sexuality and between them a romance is kindled. The 'boy' is now a 20 yr old man

Tabloid media -
Immediately jumps on the idea of the initial school visit and infers something went on, though they dont actually say that, but they bandy "15 yr old boy" in every story, trying to create a slightly sordid backstory that doesn't exist.

PS is interviewed by the Sun tabloid(A newspaper linked to phone hacking and other illegal and intrusive practices)
During the interview they clearly place a question using the word groom, or grooming etc.
PS is then forced to say no grooming took place, but he's used the word and now is associated with it.
The other tabloids(including the Sun) start using the term, 'grooming' in the same way as they did with "15 year old boy" inferring something that isnt there.

Leonardo dicaprio aged 48- Girlfriends aged 18,19,23 etc, but all considerably younger than himself.
Is Mr Dicaprio subject to multiple sleazy tabloid stories ?. Course not.

But, but .....this is off topic conversation.

I've been so depressed about answering posts on here that were off topic and the upset it's caused.
I made an appointment with the doctor for this morning.
I thought I'd get some counselling or a referral to a specialised clinic to stop me from doing it, sort of withdrawal help.

When I arrived at the surgery the receptionist said the doctor was running late and would I take a seat.
Eventually he called me into his consulting room.
"Sorry I'm running late," he offered.
" Has it been a busy morning? "
"Not really. I just had to watch Holly on ITV to see what she was saying about Philip Schofield.
"Its her first day back"
"Would you like me to give you a heads up on the latest news?"
Then we'll take a look at your problem.

The "joke" is that anyone cares about these people, who apparently lack the skills to get a proper job..

The joke is a liar is a liar always a liar, or am I lying.
