I still think adding it to the OP was a cheap shot. Philip is his own person and should be judged as such.
P. Schofield, it seems, is a poisonous, bullying, secretive liar and arguably a predator as well. If he knew nothing whatsoever about his poisonous, bullying, predatory, secretive lying brother's actions, then that's good.

So he maybe knew about it and then suddenly disowned him after he was exposed? Why did you mention it if you have ",no idea"?

On what do you base that assessment of P. Schofield? Thought you hadn't followed the story.

You seem to know much more about it than I do.

From reading about it.

It's more likely he disowned his brother when his acts came to light than before he knew about them, don't you think?

I already said I haven't really been following the story, but did read about him disowning his brother. Is this where you begin your selective reading?

You do appear to be an authority on the subject.

Nope, I make no such claim. Just expressing an opinion, as you are.

I don't know if it's "more likely", no.

What "selective reading" are you on about?

It seems he had a consensual affair with a younger male colleague which he lied to conceal. Would you be labeling him predatory if the affair had been with a consenting younger woman or is his gayness a deciding factor? (as it seems to be with Dive).

And again, how are the criminal acts of his brother relevant?

Whether or not there is a predatory element relates to whether there is a power relationship. You ought to know that from working in an office. Nothing to do with his sexual orientation.

As I said, P. Schofield is reportedly a poisonous, bullying, secretive liar and arguably a predator as well. If he knew nothing whatsoever about his poisonous, bullying, predatory, secretive lying brother's actions, then there is no link.

I find this post particularly unpleasant, implying as you do (with comparative language) that Philip's actions are akin to those of his brother. (Which clearly, to any reasonable person, they are not).

They are only "akin" in so far as the same adjectives arguably apply. Their deeds are not "akin", and I have suggested no such thing.
