Here's What I Think About... Eric Gill And The BBC’s Continued Indifference To Pedophiles

This episode examines how the BBC—an institution repeatedly scarred by scandals involving figures like Jimmy Savile—continues to protect a prominent sculpture by Eric Gill, an artist who confessed in his own diaries to sexually abusing children. It asks why, after decades of institutional failures around abuse, the BBC still chooses to publicly honour the work of a known child abuser—and what that says about those whose voices and suffering truly matter.Send us Fan MailIf you enjoy this episode, please don’t forget to subscribe. Disclaimer: As a serving Headteacher in London, UK, it’s important to please note that the views shared on this podcast- whether from me, my guests, or any associated with Educationally Outraged- are independent and do not reflect the official stance of my school, my Local Authority or the Department for Education.
