Laurel T @angelzlt.bsky.social · 31/03/2026If Scott Mills committed a crime he absolutely should lose his job. The issue I am having here is that CPS decided not to prosecute. And whilst that doesn't mean he didn't do it, legally it is innocent until proven guilty. So why is BBC sacking now? Is this a Huw Edwards overcorrection? 151

If there was no realistic case to prosecute, why has the BBC summarily sacked him? Transparency is key. 091
