But wouldn't it be better if he was left to sort it out, now a new person needs to be appointed and we have a period of stasis.

And how many cataclysmic mistakes do press editors let go to print? Probably every other page every day, they don't step down. The press smell blood and want revenge, that's all. Obviously this was a big mistake, probably brought about because they got so much shit for not running the Saville thing. But let's not give in to the foaming mouth press and the idiot politicians looking to destroy the BBC.
The BBC I'd say has a special status.
And outing anybody as a supposed paedophile on bad evidence should be job ending.
News at 10 is not the Sun.
But the point is the problem won't be resolved because there will now be a vacume at the top, the honourable thing to do would have been to sort out the problem and then go if he wants
Unless of course he realised he wasn't upto the job.

It was Newsnight. Though they didn't actually name anyone; as far as I can see, they just said it was a Tory politician from the eighties. The internet then did the unveiling. Obviously Newsnight was still wrong to go ahead with reporting that though, name or no name.
Its how the process started, it got stopped before it got any further.

Well he was a BBC man through and through, but it does feel that the BBC was trying to shift the focus from itself to the political world and it backfired. Does this mean we will have another long winded enquiry, because there are that many enquirys into enquirys that f**k all will be done about any of it as they tie themselves up in reams of paper for years on end.

Ditto. It's those 2 smug-faced arses of girls who piss me off.
Yeah
She wouldn't be so smug looking if she knew that the lads only shelled out for super fast broadband in their flat so they can sit in their their rooms all night fapping over hard core porno movies
Yeah
Bitch

Would it not be easier to have a 24/7 enquiry and just periodically change the subject; expenses, Saville (dead iraqis), Saville (raped kids), Alien space craft, who polishes Camerons face.

Maybe they could change news24 to Enquiry24 where the BBC constantly stares at its navel without ever actually correcting anything. It is basically doing that now anyway. You are right that the problems are now massive, and there is more than likely more to come. It will be interesting to see what Lord Patton says on Andrew Marr tomorrow, will he too fall on his sword.

The gothy one who says "We're students love. Can't really afford it", or whatever, needs a Dragon Punch up the twat.
Quote: Oldrocker @ November 10 2012, 9:55 PM GMTShare RC, just share . . .
i encountered this short story and wanted to share with you :
A worried woman went to her gynecologist and said:
'Doctor, I have a serious problem and desperately need your help! My baby is not even 1 year old and I'm up the duff again. I f**king hate kids.'
So the doctor said: 'Ok and what do you want me to do?'
She said: 'Kill it.'
The doctor thought for a little, and after some silence he said to the lady: 'I think I have a better solution for your problem. It's less dangerous for you too.'
She smiled, thinking that the doctor was going to accept her request.
Then he continued: 'You see, in order for you not to have to take care of 2 babies at the same time, let's set fire to the one in your arms. It's as ugly as hell anyway; looks like a frog. If we're going to kill one of them, it doesn't matter which one it is. There would be no risk for your body as long as you're not still holding it when we set fire to it.'
The lady was horrified and said: 'No doctor! The one in my body is just a bunch of cells. Plus, I think it's half-Negro.'
'Oh give it here', the doctor replied, as he made a lunge for the baby. Ripping it from her grasp, and throwing it out of the window.
The doctor smiled, realizing that he had made his point.
He convinced the mom that he's a complete twat.
