I honestly don’t think I’ve watched a television program with Philip Schofield since I was a child and he was presenting after school kid’s TV. I don’t give two hoots who he had an affair with, especially given there are so many far more worrying things going on in the world right now. Why, then, when I turned on the TV this morning in the hope of catching up with what’s going on in the world, Schofield was all they were talking about. If he had an affair with a younger man, surely it’s his business. At the very most, it’s worthy of a thirty second mention at the end of a news bulletin, but this morning it seemed to take up the entire hour. Have we all become so shallow that such irrelevant celebrity trivia is all we care about? And more to the point, why am I even blogging about this?
I quite agree Mat. Someone inclined to believe in conspiracy theories might think that we are being prepped to thinking lying and getting the boot is no big deal, and draw up a parallel with Boris, leading us to what BJ has been up to is no big deal either. Maybe there is something in that. Look out for people drawing the parallel.

A conspiracy theorist might also say we’re being deliberately distracted, but if so, from what?
