ITV Punish Schofield for PM Blunder
ITV have taken action against Phillip Schofield and three other members of the This Morning team following paedo list-gate last week:
“Last Thursday we began an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the mistake on that day’s This Morning programme, for which both Phillip Schofield and ITV apologised. This investigation has now concluded and the appropriate disciplinary action has been taken. We sincerely apologise because the way in which the issue was raised was clearly wrong and should have been handled differently. We have taken steps to make sure our editorial processes are always properly followed, which was not the case in this instance, and to ensure such an error will not be made again.”
Just what that disciplinary action entailed they have not said…
a slap on the back
Pay rise and promotion
And the victims still are suffering….
You mean they haven’t been financially compensated yet?
We sent over a copy of our disciplinary handbook, so if they followed that they should get a payrise, promotion and their choice of child from any of the local schools…
Bushtucker trial. He has to eat Nadine Dorries.
Harsh but fair.
Oh yes!
I’d eat Nadine, mmmmmm yum yum
Exactly what action has been taken?
Has he apologised on air yet?
He’s a ‘celeb’, half way to becoming a ‘National Treasure’. ‘Celebs’ don’t do apologies. Except when they’re being paid to do so on my fantastic programme and reading off the auto-cue.
He’s had to take one up the chufter.
Is that a punishment in his case?
I’m back !! Tweeting millions of interesting titbits !!
Boring.
When will you be slandering innocent people again?
And all are Liebore supporters…
What it does mean is that if you pickpocket ten people then you are more or less guaranteed a bonus 300 quid payout. Maybe more if they have multiple credit cards.
1 in 10 people will believe any old bollocks you tell them.
Nearer 4 in 10 looking at recent opinion polls
Surely not?
@sallycow, you will be using your pin quite a lot in the not too distant future after Lord McAlpine has finished with you!
Right we’ll try yours!
is schofield a quare?
Sadly, not
He looks like a quare and speaks like a quare so he must be a quare!!
The punishments should be made on air, especially if Holly Willoughby is to get punished.
If that was going to appear on the BBC it would be worth paying the viewing tax.
Gordon the Gopher gets to stick his hand up Philip for a change.
Excellent.
Promote him to this….
We understand that he is their news correspondent in Gaza,oy vey.
This is about as pathetic and hypocritical as it gets.
Zero cred ITV!
He’s been commissioned to do a new series of a gay Mr & Mrs.
“Mr and Mr”, shurely? Or “Ms” and “Ms”?
This Phillip Schofield sounds interesting
We are offering him a job on Cum Dancing
Put my name on top of the list if you ever do ‘Scum Dancing’.
He should have his balls chopped off and stuffed in his mouth, strung up, pistol whipped and set on fire.
No ifs. No buts. No mealy mouthed platitudes.
Sack him.

Lets you off the hook then, Sally, since you’re by no means a journalist.
I have no choice but give you a long sentence, you have been a very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very naughty boy.
a vey long sentence.
funny this.
the problem with ITV’s putative ‘editorial processes’ begins with the appointment of someone such as Schofield as a ‘journalist’
perhaps the results of such a selection – as George Bush might have put it – should not have been entirely unexpectorated
Unexpectorated? Give ‘em a chance’only human, nobody’s inflammable.
“Phil, don’t ever pull a stunt like that again. Here’s you £45k fee for the week. “
spank the gopher !
Andrew Mitchell gets sacked for calling a policeman a pleb which he was, nobody gets sacked for calling Lord McAlpine a peedo which he wasn’t. Justice – GangUK style.
x 100
which he wasn’t?
he may be.
he may not be.
Innocent until proven guilty. He wasn’t. Not too difficult, really, is it? Unless you’re a leftie bigot, of course.
forcing him to do another series of Mr & Mrs?
Did the punishment involve him taking his trousers down and bending over?
