Now, if I have read this story on the BBC website right it seems the BBC approached the BBC for a comment, but the BBC then refused to comment to the BBC. Scott Mills investigated in 2016 over sexual offence allegations against teenage boy bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwyk…

Possibly the best post I’ve seen on any social media platform! The sort of post I wish I’d had at my disposal years ago when “ghosting” was endemic in the travel PR world. Every PR agency, freelancer, Marcoms agency will be familiar with these culprits and their shabby behaviour!
