Probably not but reality nevertheless.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

I think the evidence is showing that after 2 separate complaints they then received another complaint from a member of the public about their child and did very little about it.

You would think that once a person has been investigated for inappropriate behaviour even if there was little or no evidence to support that claim, that further complaints from different people would at least ring alarm bells.

So no I don't think the BBC has learned its lesson. It only acted when the complainer went public.

This will please Wisbeach(unfortunately} The bbc wants more funding for its world service on top of the £100m it gets from the FO to promote 'UK values' . . . [Link]

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

Untrue. It was investigating before that. The first stage of which, understandably, was to verify identities, which was stymied by a lack of responses from the family member complainant. The lack of a response and subsequent contacting of the Sun carries a nasty odour and raises red flags about possible motivations.

Yes it does. The BBC World Service is one of our countries greatest assets. It’s a source of trusted news in many places where the national broadcasters are state controlled. For the UK to be seen as trustworthy and reliable is vital at a time when such things are in short supply.

The World Service uses the reporters, and much of the programming, that the UK based service does. Weaken these in any way would be like scoring a hatful of own goals.

Oh I get it, they are the wrong type of victim because it's the Sun.

As far as I am aware they have not asked for any money just that Edwards back off and stop paying their child money.

You conveniently ignored the BBC response

"The BBC accepted there were "lessons to be learned following this exercise",* and the organisation's group chief operating officer will assess whether protocols and procedures are appropriate."

*Just like the time before and the time before that and the time....
