This ginger beardy virtue signalling cunt name of Russ Cook has run a thousand odd miles across Africa – well up the coast South Africa to Tunisia anyway and with a large team of supporters. For why? For Charidee apparently and to get his ginger beardness all over telly. To make it worse his shade of ginger is the same as Prince Harry’s and other dodgy royals going back at least to Henry VIII. To make it worse than that the cunt ties off the bottom of his beard with a hair band and runs like that. Further inflates the negative by calling himself the “Hardest Geezer” on social media and sports tatty tattoos. What’s not to like?

What is the statement Mr Cook is making apart from a celebration of cuntishness and why Africa? A bit late to find Dr Livingstone, he was napped by Stanley. Bringing the agony of Africa to the World stage? Rwanda and the other eternal tribal battlefields of Africa seem to have been bypassed en-route. You need a few daring brushes with misadventure to make a good story though and his PR machine has, thus far, fed us the following:

Robbed at gunpoint in Angola of Passport/Mobile etc (could have stayed at home for that and minimised his carbon footprint)

Went missing in the Congo for several days (accounts vary) until ransom paid to the indigenous population

So after 350 days that is it really until the doc/film/book/news article tie-in emerges. For those curious about which Charidees are the beneficiaries of his endeavours number one is running and number two involves the Refugees from the last and rather nasty Shaharan War..

A well deserved cunting for one of our wall favourites, the Jones boy has been getting into hot water over comments during a debate with an Israeli journalist.

This one (watch the clip) is absolutely mind boggling even for Owen (tougher than I look) Jones, in fact I think that slap he got outside a pub on Old Street a couple of years ago has actually caused some lasting brain damage.

In the discussion he said that if Britain stops selling arms to Israel it will put pressure on Germany to do the same, ok so far so good but then he says the reason Germany are selling arms to Israel is, well, guilt over the holocaust and by allowing Israel to get their own back on the Palestinians is some sort of atonement.

Owen, you wanker, time to go into one of those nice hospitals where they administer happy drugs.

I’ll leave it to you good people to decide.

This was brought to my attention by a friend who knows the wife of this cunt (now divorcing).

To briefly summarise, this gentlemen is a handy man who, during the course of attending to a client job, was unwittingly caught on camera relieving himself over the lady of the house’s knickers, believing himself safe to do so as the owners were not at home at the time – but a motion sensor camera used by the couple to keep an eye on their cat caught him in the act.

Is this yet another damning indictment of the state of the modern judiciary that he should get away scot-free with this appalling act of degradation?

Or is this the green light for those of us in the services sector to feel at ease in offering added value extras when making client home visits?

As ever, I throw this thorny matter over to the imperishable wisdom of the council of IAC.

BBC apologises to family at centre of Huw Edwards scandal

Corporation launched review into complaints procedure after scandal about presenter last year

The BBC has apologised to the parents of a young person who made a complaint about the suspended BBC presenter Huw Edwards, admitting it should have acted more quickly.

The corporation launched a review into its complaints procedure after the scandal in July last year.

Edwards has not made any public statement since he was named as the BBC presenter accused of a string of allegations, including paying a 17-year-old for sexually explicit photos for several years since 2020.

The veteran news anchor was named in a statement released by his wife, which said he was suffering from “serious mental health issues” and, after the controversy emerged, had received inpatient hospital care after suffering from a “serious episode”.She said he would “respond to the stories that have been published when he was well enough to do so”.

On Tuesday Leigh Tavaziva, BBC group chief operating officer, said the report had identified “specific process shortcomings” in the complaint made to the corporation about Edwards. “The initial complaint in this case was not escalated quickly enough to senior management and we have apologised to the complainant for this,” she said.

A separate internal workplace investigation that will consider whether Edwards – who presented the BBC’s News at Ten for two decades and fronted its coverage of major events such as the death of Queen Elizabeth II – brought the broadcaster into disrepute is thought to be ongoing.

The BBC said it would bolster its procedures for dealing with non-editorial complaints after a review – carried out by Deloitte partner Simon Cuerden – found that while the BBC had the policies, procedures and knowhow about how to deal with the most serious complaints there was a “clear need for greater consistency across the BBC”.

The report found that the complaint was made at “a BBC location in Cardiff on 18 May”, but while the BBC’s corporate investigations team sought to make contact with the complainant the case was not “escalated” and the case not logged in the BBC system at the time “meaning that there was no opportunity for wider visibility of the case within the BBC”.

It added that because of a lack of documented process for contact and follows-ups with the complainant, when initial contact attempts were unsuccessful, the course of action was not clear.

The BBC said it had put in a new “escalation mechanism” to make sure this did not happen again.

The review also found that some employees said that they were “nervous” about raising complaints.

It stated: “These employees said they have lower levels of confidence in how robustly the complaint will be handled if it is a grievance relating to another member of staff or talent, particularly where there is an actual or perceived power discrepancy between the complainant and the subject of the complaint.”

The review was sparked after the Sun reported last July that “a well-known presenter” had given a 20-year-old crack cocaine user “more than £35,000 since they were 17 in return for sordid images”.

The parents of the young person said a complaint made to the BBC was ignored in May last year. The BBC acknowledged the complaint had been made in May and was assessed by the corporate investigations team, but the BBC boss, Tim Davie, said at that point there was no “allegation of criminality”.

A lawyer for the person, now in their early 20s, said in a letter to the BBC in July that the allegations were “rubbish” and insisted “nothing inappropriate” had happened.

The lawyer said: “For the avoidance of doubt, nothing inappropriate or unlawful has taken place between our client and the BBC personality and the allegations reported in The Sun newspaper are rubbish.”

The BBC previously said it immediately emailed the complainant – a family member – seeking more information but did not get a response. A follow-up call was made on 6 June but it did not connect, the BBC said.

The BBC said that it had received “new allegations” on 6 July, which was the first time the director general or any executive directors were “made aware” of the claims at which point they took the presenter off air. It initiated its serious case management framework (SCMF) on 7 July and suspended the presenter on 9 July.

Ain’t the BBC wonderful.
