You said that the fact that a 61 year old met a young person etc , that's what you typed
Its not a fact wether its in the news or the papers
Having reservations as a parent over a daughter or son of say 20 meeting a 61 year old .....which is not yet proven as having occurred...is not what was being suggested by the sun and others ......it was that there had been criminal activity
You realise that's very different from an older bloke involved in activity with younger folk ?
One is a bit odd and not normal
The other could result in jail time
This is why everyone , including the police , have been trying to tease everything out
The Sun .........well they have been printing all sorts of nonsense to get hits on their website
No Love for the Sun or any newspaper, who still buys them ?
There was a time of course and especially as young welding apprentice in an engineering factory full of blokes
where the sun and other papers carried page 3 and similar, you could not go to an engineering factory at this period without
the thrupenny bit pics all over the place, onto current, the guy named is obviously in a bad state of mind at the moment
and i wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't being monitored 24/7 for what he might be considering and thus its probably best that the thread was archived and we just move on.
And what justice will the victims receive as the manipulation has taken place , and the mental health card is played. .. let's hope justice is served sadly it won't be over quick whilst Huw resist in hospital, can't see any investigation interviews taking place anytime soon .
There are young support staff from within the BBC now coming forward.
He may not be a pervert ,he may suffer from depression sadly this is a man who would deliver stories on similar lines , was intelligent, whilst preying on weak vulnerable folk.
Yes
But I am referring to this situation where a person is not legally a pervert and has been hounded out as one ......by the sun and some people on here it would seem ......when as we stand today the police say there is no evidence of criminality
That's totally unacceptable
As is seen from the title this thread was given, for some the most important element of this whole episode were the three letters BBC. It’s been the libertarian right who have tended to go hardest on this story and now, with the news that the Police are taking no further action in the matter, the live and let liver’s have a tricky choice, do they say Huw Edwards was free to do what he liked, or do those three letters take priority?
I saw a TV documentary about dogging. They interviewed a man and he was asked what sort of people attended. He replied "Oh, all sorts of people from all walks of life. We have doctors, accountants, airline pilots... Mind you there are some weirdos" all recorded with the background image of a pair of legs up in the air rocking rhythmically while some stranger was tending to his wife on the car's back seat. It's all in context.
I wouldn't have done what Huw Edwards is alleged to have done and is on the "wrong" side of my view of the world. Then again, the police said that they aren't following up the case so, by deduction, he's not done anything illegal.
It's a sad mess for everybody involved and the media should step back as it's not helping.
The rest of that interview was a hoot from what I recall. The bloke continued "...some weirdos like that strange guy over there reading The Sun. There isn't a dogging site in the country that hasn't seen his rusty old Astra with the Liverpool scarf in the back window. He has had some extreme requests in the past, particularly asking women to wear masks of Maggie Thatcher. We don't know much about him other than he used to paint gutters for a living. He thinks he's a bit of a looker, though I think a judge said he was more of a voyeur."
Got to love the way the population love a good pile on.
The news in this country is a disgrace, this story has taken up way beyond what would be a reasonable amount of airtime and column inches. Important issues aren't even reported on as they don't get the same level of views or clicks.
One young person was sent a very nice wage for another's sexual gratification.
It's basically what millions of people do on sites like only fans each month, people from all walks of life.
if a married man in his late 50s is paying an 18 year old for sexual content - and that man happens to be the biggest news broadcaster in the country, its obviously newsworthy, and its obviously enough to lose a job where your professionalism has to come first.
yes, no crime has been committed, and the politicising of the whole situation by the scum, and a few on this thread is quite disgusting.
I would presume he's lost his job on the basis of bringing the bbc into disrepute alone.
I think I'm the only person in the country who doesnt care about this story though. Like schofield.
Immoral yes (imo), illegal apparently not, time to move on.
Although I should add if Huw is on here and wants to pay me £35k for some photos PM me (ONO)
