Add the lawyer stating no wrong doing and the Police saying nothing illegal.

I can think of a number of reasons, including not prejudicing a future libel action. Say nothing and let the lawyers deal with it in court.

Why should the man’s wife make any denial of the accusations?

Evil is a bit strong, but perhaps she does have ‘issues’.

Yeh Yeh.

You are once again on your BBC thing, your use of the pejorative term ‘extort’ is the first clue. Why is anyone’s salary relevant to the topic of discussion, or are you stoking envy? Please can you provide evidence of why the public have the right to expect an employer to name an employee who has been baselessly accused by the gutter press if anything, let alone the accusations laid by The Sun. Putting aside the obvious problems with employers naming employees, here’s a clue as to another reason why naming names might be problematic - The Sun, which made the accusations, chose not to name the person they were accusing.

That’s a little ambiguous, I’m not sure if you are arguing against the statement made by the alleged victim’s lawyer or that statements libel action would probably be difficult. Direct naming isn’t a necessity in libel suits. Also, I suspect others who were put under public scrutiny by The Sun’s allegations might also have a claim to file suit. By example members on this forum made unsubstantiated guesses at who The Sun we’re referring too.

Weirder even that the alleged victim’s lawyer has said there is no wrong doing. Maybe the lawyer and the Police are right and The Sun was wrong.

There you go again with your accusations of a police coverup. The BBC is an employer, the BBC mission statement does not change that fact. On what basis would any employer have to name employees baselessly accused of crimes by the gutter press. The Sun is almost certainly in line for a libel suit, I doubt very much the BBC wishes to be named a co-respondent, and if they were you’d be on here ranting about public money being wasted. Your consistent attempts to insert your anti-BBC fixation into the thread are noted. At question here is the behavior of The Sun, not your BBC thing.

What has the age and salary of the person The Sun is on a hate fest for got to do with anything, or are they something else to hate?

Well done Biden.

Expert on police investigations now are we? Let’s make a distinction. In the past covered up, in the present (your claim) covering up. If you are claiming ‘covering up’, and you are, you need to back up your claim. Firstly, why is it the duty of an employer to name an employee who is baselessly accused of illegal activities?

Hang on a minute. An employee is accused by the gutter press without basis of committing a crime, and you want the employer to name the employee?! And when they don’t you accuse them of a cover up. I don’t think you’ve thought that through. Perhaps your oft posted visceral hatred of the BBC is blinding your judgment.

And the Space Karen wants in on the action.

Hardly surprising given the hate campaign the Sun is running. And look who rising to the Sun’s call to get the hate on.

A pattern is emerging. You’ve jumped to conclusions that turnout to be baseless so you now switch to an accusation of conspiracy within the BBC and Police while hitting your keyboard shortcut to insert ‘woke’ into the thread. It might have been better to not jump to unsubstantiated assumptions in the first place. Or, heaven forbid, admit you were wrong.

What are the BBC covering up?

And you know this how? Perhaps the Government should get on with reviewing the claims for asylum, pass the rightful claimants so they can start earning a living in the economy short of workers and deport those who fail assessment?! Or maybe not clearing the backlog is more useful for a Government failing on all fronts.

Perhaps your hopes were falsely raised.

Washington certainly didn’t.

Agree. Though I chose to live in Leiden and party in Amsterdam. Adding to your list: Fine beers, museums and art galleries, Dutch social culture, and arguably the best burgers on the planet. A wonderful part of the world.

Perhaps a missed opportunity for Sunak to get tough and demand the US immediately accept a UK/US trade deal replete with terms favorable to the UK.

I suspect members amongst the junior partner are over egging their importance in the relationship.

Ping me when Joe Biden starts scapegoating minorities and mocking the afflicted.

I don’t recognize any deterioration at all in US/UK relationships and I pay close attention to the matter. The UK is in a weaker position than has been the case in past years but I’m at a loss to see how that’s Biden’s fault. The UK and US can, at least after Biden taking office, both be very rightly proud of their support for Ukraine, minor disagreements do not distract from that fact. And let’s be honest, the President has shown nothing but respect for the Monarch, it was not always so.
