BBC inquiry does not need any helpers

BBC Scotland presenter has been suspended from work pending investigation for alleged bullying.

There are unsubstantiated claims that Kaye Adams, who chairs a daily radio phone-in, "shouted and screamed" at junior staff. The correct stance for responsible journalists and commentators should be to refrain from commenting on what is a very serious matter for the broadcaster, presenter and, of course, those who made the allegations.

However, one newspaper columnist this week saw fit to publish a glowing character reference for Ms Adams in our national press, which sounded a few alarms for me.
