"Prob another example of BBC going over the top for fear of getting picked up later for not doing enough If Kay Adams can still work for ITV I can only assume BBC went over the top as an example. If it was that bad ITV would have sacked her too" Is it better to go a bit OT, or to ignore it until it all blows up? I think there must be some fairly solid proof of anything or he would have just been suspended surely | |||

"New Director General announced last week (not officially appointed till May I know), Scott Mills sacked today. New broom sweeping clean??" Hmmm, that awful Liza Tarbuck quit too a couple of weeks ago, probably went before she was pushed. | |||

The Guardian and other well known news sources are saying allegations about his personal conduct so that report could be true, however Facebook is not known for accurate news reports and there's so much AI generated bullshit on social media in general at the moment it's always worth checking other sources. | |||

Well, if Facebook reports, it must be true then, right? Except: Scott Mills doesn't work for "the force" (and he wasn't in any of the Star Wars films), so this Facebook report is obviously not about Scott Mills. | |||

"Irrespective of the generic nature of most dj's on the radio these days, the BBC radio output still follows the ethos of public service broadcasting which is lacking in every way shape and form on commercial radio which personally I consider the equivalent of being spoon fed warm diarrhea. More radio stations less choice in the commercial sector, great if you want to hear the same song from 60's 70's 80's on whichever niche station you prefer but because the BBC isn't driven by a commercial imperative for the most part you actually get to hear music,comedy,drama etc you would not get elsewhere on commercial radio, so yes for all its faults and it has many I will continue to listen and pay my licence fee as I know I will not be subjected to a steady diet of stale same old on commercial radio." 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 | |||

The BBC put Mills's sacking down to his "personal conduct", thereby implying his behaviour away from the workplace. Even more reason to not give the nonsense above any more time unless even remotely reported on by a reliable source - NOT FACEBOOK! | |||

"Evidently something he is alleged to have done 10 years ago." Not that it makes it any better but he was actually alleged to have done it in the 90s, it just took until 2016 for allegations to be made to the police. | |||

"Not good that you can get sacked for an allegation and the investigation dropped. Innocent until proved guilty no longer applies it seems🤔 It never has." Makes you realise that almost anyone can accuse you of something from years ago and you have no control of what happens. Sad state of affairs. | |||

"I’m in the minority here it seems because I really liked the breakfast show with Scott doing it. Sara Cox should now move to present the Breakfast show." Never heard his breakfast show but did listen to his afternoon slot. Trevor Nelson is okay but much preferred Scott. | |||

I’m neither accusing nor defending Mr. Mills, but he has the right to be judged fairly, and not by the media. | |||

That's how I look on it. The fact that the police have dropped the case would suggest lack of real evidence or just someone trying to cause trouble. | |||

"It was an allegation and insufficient evidence apparently to charge. We don’t know the circumstances - perhaps a malicious accusation? The Met have been all over it and also the CPS. If that’s all, then that should be the end of it, I’d have thought. A very strange situation - is the BBC overcorrecting its failures with Huw Edwards? " Alternatively there could be plenty of evidence. Sometimes victims of sexual offenders withdraw their allegations and decline to give evidence at court, often because they fear that defence counsel will tear them to shreds in the witness box. | |||

"BBC a perverts paradise Saville Edwards Hall Harris how many there aren’t actually perverts or into illegal activities? " Like most other places of employment, I'd suspect that the great majority of BBC employees are perfectly well behaved individuals who are as shocked as anyone else when sordid allegations such as these come to light. | |||

"So he was interviewed under caution for alleged sexual assault of a minor u16 , but not charged . The BBC must have received some information regarding this and sacked him on the bases that he didn’t disclose it , because he could easily sue if he is completely innocent under unfair dismissal." I agree, there must have been some disclosure clause in his contract, or some irrefutable evidence against him, otherwise the BBC have left themselves open to some serious legal problems. The BBC didn’t sack Huw Edwards because it was only allegations and were called out for not doing so, now Scott Mills has been sack, for what many people are assuming are allegations, although it may be something else, no one except Scott Mills and the BBC really know, and they are being called out for that. Looks like the BBC can’t really win. | |||

"What has gone wrong with this country. You are innocent until proven guilty. He has not been charged, therefore has not been found guilty of anything." And hence he is not incarcerated. The BBC has strict protocols about its employees and the disclosure of things that can be embarrassing to the organisation and about police matters - these were supposed to have been beefed up further after the Huw Edwards debacle. They may have felt he should have informed them of the allegations at the time and a failure to do so is a breach of the conditions of employment - it’s also sounding now like the alleged victim could have contacted the BBC aware they never conducted any investigation previously. It’s a mess - but if these are the accepted conditions you agree to receive your £350K pa taxpayer funded salary for pinging a few records and droning on air… | |||

You’re out, sunshine. There is nothing in your BBC link pertinent to this issue." What was difficult to understand about my comment that it’s a vague best principles document which will obviously allow the BBC to interpret misconduct…? You didn’t expect Mr Mills to have a specific contract saying “don’t touch any 15 yr old boys in the 1990s, Scott” written into it..? A special no-noncery prenup, perhaps… Here’s from some of the Code of Conduct: “…we all have a responsibility to do the right thing. Meeting our legal and regulatory obligations is an essential and non-negotiable part of that… … you need to take personal responsibility for ensuring you and your team understand the Code of Conduct… …Safeguarding is the action we all must take to protect people from harm. Everyone at the BBC has a responsibility to promote the safeguarding of children (under 18s) and vulnerable adults. By working for the BBC, you are in a unique position of power and trust…” Quite difficult to say you’ve been following the safeguarding bit, if you’re being investigated by the police for what you’ve been doing with a 15 yr old… | |||

"An allegation was made and then dropped by the police as there was inserfishent evidence to prove a case. At that time (2019) your BBC document did not exist, so is irrelevant. I would have thought the BBC would also have been wary of taking an unproven sexual alligation as true. As they had paid out over £2 million in damages and legal fees to another celebrity, the previous year, after a similar allegation. " Mills was contracted to the BBC, not an employee, and anyone with half a clue will understand that legally he doesn't have a leg to stand on with regards to them dispensing with his services. Just because he wasn't charged by police is irrelevant. All parties involved will be in possession of the important facts. | |||

As they had paid out over £2 million in damages and legal fees to another celebrity, the previous year, after a similar allegation. " Whether there was insufficient evidence [or inserfishent evidence (sic) or fishysurf evidence…] for him to be charged by the police is irrelevant here, as has been pointed out to you repeatedly. This issue is about his conduct through the prism of his employment with the BBC and what it perceives as its reputational damage under its Code of Conduct. The employees of the BBC have been under various codes of conduct for many, many years now. This applies to all staff. It doesn’t matter if they joined 50 years beforehand: any new guidelines always apply to them. This has also been pointed out to you repeatedly. Telling us that this Code of Conduct did not exist in 2019 is simply a false statement. Why would you make that up?! Mills began work for the BBC in 1998 and throughout his time of service various protocols have been in place. A quick look at the internet tells me that in June 2005 the BBC introduced its new ethics code; in 2017/2018 there were updated Codes of Conduct, etc etc etc. Why not research this yourself? You seem impervious to fact or reason at this stage. I really don’t understand why you are seeking to defend him so vehemently. No-one forced this wretched man under duress to take a £350k pa salary, which most people in the country can only dream of, and be subject to a Code of Conduct, which most people in the country would meet without issue as they don’t try it on with children. He’s not the victim here. | |||
