Take the Nicola Bully case as an example. This forum was all over it like a rash. There was initial sympathy with the family. Then the husband became a suspect, the investigation was flawed, the experts quoted in the media, were right when the professional working long hours in dreadful conditions were inept, I could go on. All the media BS and social media amateur sleuths would have caused that poor family so much more anguish, because of what, people love to gossip, people love to be right, the first to get it right. When their wrong they never say they got it wrong, they just move to next piece of juicy tittle tattle.

I was appalled by the comments that people, who have no idea what they are talking about, made in the above case.

I may take an interest when it is confirmed who the person under investigation and suspension is. Until then I don’t wish to speculate as it is, in my opinion, totally and utterly unfair to do so.

And the truth is, men actually gossip more than women. See the link below.

I was speculating having seen the photograph of him naked from the waist down showing his nether regions to this young person.

His behaviour is risky and at the very least goes against the ethics of his employer.

And now……playing the mental health card which really annoys me.

As a sufferer of depression I find it deeply unpleasant that this is used as an excuse for such behaviour.

It’s a good job that the many thousands who do suffer from depression don’t resort to this type of high risk behaviour, targeting young people in particular.
