@DarrenJohnHill @piersmorgan @BBC Given that it was a boy who couldn't fall pregnant and produce offspring with evidential dna, what kind of evidence would you accept?

Exactly, Piers. This is the part that doesn’t add up. A police investigation from nearly a decade ago into allegations from 25+ years ago was closed due to lack of evidence, and now the @BBC sacks him instantly over the exact same case? Either new information has emerged that we don’t know about, or this looks like classic corporate panic and optics management. The @BBCRadio2 owes the public, and @scott_mills — a proper explanation.

I don’t understand this Scott Mills scandal. He was investigated by police 10yrs ago over alleged offences 25+ years ago, but no action was taken and case was closed. Now he gets instantly fired over same thing? The BBC needs to explain why, surely?

@piersmorgan Jimmy Savile only died in 2011 - 15 years ago, with victims from 40 years earlier reporting who police had covered up. I'm not saying Scott mills is Jimmy Savile, but I am saying 30 years can be how long it takes a victim to process abuse to the point where they can report

I JUST WANT TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT IRAN DID NOT HAVE ANY NUCLEAR WEAPONS AND THAT THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ WAS OPEN FOR BUSINESS BEFORE TRUMP STARTED THE EPSTEIN WAR 🤷

There’s more evidence Donald Trump raped kids than there is evidence the 2020 election was stolen.

When Hitler died, Germany removed his monuments and erased his name from public buildings. This post is about Donald Trump

This might be the most unhinged thing he’s ever tweeted, and that’s saying something. He’s flailing. Has no idea how to get out of this war cleanly.

This is embarrassing, and shameful.

He is out of his fucking mind.

Trump is systematically collapsing the economy, destroying the middle class, initiating WWIII and making America the laughing stock of the world. In one year he’s gone from winning the popular vote to becoming the most hated president in history. America is fucked.

@KHarveyProctor @scott_mills @BBC You would no doubt have said the same about Jimmy Saville. With zero information, you assume the BBC had nothing

I am deeply concerned by the @scott_mills story, following his sacking by @BBC. Mills was allegedly investigated by the Metropolitan Police, with a file handed to the CPS who decided there was insufficient evidence to prosecute. If an individual can be investigated, cleared of prosecution due to insufficient evidence, & still face professional ruin, then we are entering dangerous territory. Institutions must be very careful not to substitute due process with reputational expediency. Justice cannot operate on suspicion alone, nor can fairness be preserved if allegations—untested in a court of law—are treated as proof. We must ask ourselves: are we upholding justice, or quietly dismantling it?

@SOLMAN7777 @KHarveyProctor @scott_mills @BBC Or maybe it's because they are bringing a civil case

Clearly the criminal bar is ‘beyond all reasonable doubt’. It’s a pretty high bar. That said it’s surprising the boy didn’t bring a civil case with the bar there being on the ‘balance of probability’. But as it stands if the CPS didn’t have sufficient evidence to satisfy the criminal alleged acts he has to be considered an innocent man. What’s good for the court should be good for the BBC. I hope he sues them given what we know.

@AM44628 @reallywonkyrich @KHarveyProctor @scott_mills @BBC There was a folder full of evidence but the cps has a lot of criteria, especially is it enough to get a conviction. Even if it's a lot, if they don't think they'll get a conviction they decline it, which is often left feeling like a crime of its own, because often they are wrong

@reallywonkyrich @KHarveyProctor @scott_mills @BBC It wouldn't make sense in this case either. Anyone can be investigated for something. There might be hundreds of reasons why (false claims, mistaken identity). If there was no evidence to prosecute then in my opinion this means he was innocent.

@KoratPT @KHarveyProctor @scott_mills @BBC So you're sure he wasn't supposed to report stuff like this to the BBC. And you're sure they didn't ask him for information on it and he responded openly. Or he confirmed the worst to him.

@KHarveyProctor @scott_mills @BBC He almost certainly has a good case to sue them. The way the BBC are operating now means you can be fired over any crackpot allegation made against you.

Hello @fifa Where do we go to nominate for the 2026 peace award. I have been on fifa.com but can't find the link

@MaxA1045 @MissCGHoney @scott_mills The BBC thinks he raped him. The BBC doesn't rapidly and completely FIRE someone because they had a historic sexual relationship. x.com/i/status/20387…

@NHMajorTom @MissCGHoney @scott_mills Where is your evidence to say the individual was raped? Tread very carefully with allegations of that nature.

@nav07 @FacundoSavala He was investigated for raping a teenage boy. Dropped for lack of evidence. I think if he had been honest with the BBC his career there would not have even started. It sounds like it's going to turn into another Jimmy Saville

@FacundoSavala No idea but hope that nobody is genuinely hurt and wish him well. Very much enjoyed his show.

So what are the Scott Mills rumours then? 👀

Donald Trump doesn’t want you talking about the fact that his disapproval rating is an all-time high 62%, so whatever you do, don’t share this tweet. It will make him very mad.

Hello????? “Personal conduct” what does that mean??👀
