Agreed.
Huw Edwards | Charged with making indecent images of children
- Thread starter Sparky Rhiwabon
- Start date
This is a sad reflection on the UK. A story which is essentially an issue between a man and his wife is used as a stick to beat the BBC by a repulsive rag run by a reptilian Australian/American, with Tory cheerleaders on the side lines. Even more depressingly, a cowed BBC plays along to their tune by making it headline news on their own channels.
Talk TV is still banging on about it with no remorse. I know it is another Murdoch owned station but Jeez it is too much.
Isabel Oakashott is such a horrible, nasty woman

I feel like the thread title should be changed.
Here here - absolutely
Yes this needs to be changed.
Huw Edwards? 
tbh, I've always seen him as being a bit of a cnut. His commentary on the Queen's funeral and the Coronation were both dreadful.

Didn't the BBC say in their latest statement they were investigating allegations of misconduct in the workplace or have I misheard that? Think issue here is the drip drip effect.
You don't have to be a criminal to be sacked/stood down from TV land given the optics of what he does, Jason Manford got sacked (I think) from the One show years back for sexting.
No wish at all obviously to see him become another Caroline Flack so he needs the time to get the right treatment in privacy and get better. Anthony McPartlin was in that sort of position 5-6 years ago with drink driving and addiction to painkillers and he got a year off from presenting to get things together and eventually made his comeback.
Trust me it is. Johnson screwed the BBC over money
BBC Newsnight naturally booked woman beater and man who said he couldn't be a teacher, because he'd definitely try and feck the kids, Rod Liddle to moralise about this tonight.
Celeb you say?
You've mixed up Tim Davie and Richard Sharp who got the Chairman role.
Tim Davie is (or was) a conservative though.
this. And not just the Sun, but large parts of the entire press/propaganda apparatus. The sun, after its sister paper, notw, took the scapegoat blame, is just the easiest target.
I think we need another thread name change. it reads as if his wife is making the allegations against him.
Alastair Campbell can feck right off with his fake mental health crap as well. The fact that cnut has managed to go from his "New front opened at BBC" diary on the David Kelly's name was leaked and auctioning off signed copies of the report into his death to rebranding himself as a mental health advocate and it actually work is insufferable.
Obviously not fair on anyone but assuming he has done nothing illegal the the source this is all down to The Sun running a story they pretty much knew was as best disputed/denied. Not that it was really feasible to avoid his name getting out once this shit storm had happened, it is again punishing someone for being outed by a bunch of cnuts by being forced to make yourself publicly known/confirmed.
Our work is done here.
Fixed.
Clearer?
Kinda sounds like his wife named him in her capacity as 'BBC presenter at centre of allegations'.
Of all the bad takes in this thread, that is by far the worst. There's so much wrong I don't know where to begin.
Just because someone is in a high profile position it doesn't make them immune from being human, making mistakes, or change their feelings, attractions, fetishes and emotions.
What does it matter that he's gay? To his wife and kids it's a big fecking issue, but that's a demon he's had to live with for years. Can you imagine how hard that was for him? Or now for them now they know?
It's private, nothing to do with anyone else yet the Sun push and push regardless. They are scum, the lowest of the low.
How coming out was a demon he had to live with and one he had to discuss with his wife and kids. It certainly wasn't something that needed to be bastardized and broadcast on two beaches
Has he or his wife used the word 'gay' yet? I get why people think it's the most likely explanation, I wouldn't be at all surprised by it, but it kinda feels at best somewhat rude to assume all the 'living a lie' cliches that come with it.
It doesn’t matter what his sexuality is. What is foolish is that somebody with such a high public profile revealed his identity to strangers, and therefore leaving him vulnerable to scum media like The Sun. A
job like his comes with many many perks (like his 500k annual salary), but also with all the disadvantages of being a high profile celebrity. Nobody forced him to be a high profile newsreader.
As a reminder, Rod Liddle said:
“I never found out [what sort of teacher I’d be] because the one thing stopping me from being a teacher was that I could not remotely conceive of not trying to shag the kids. It seemed to me to be virtually impossible not to."
Edwards eh, Huw knew
To be fair he said he wouldn’t go much below year 10.
Most talented newsreader in years. Shame how it turned out. But he was never sentenced in court so should have been given a second chance
'No criminal case to answer' say the Met. So either he never had indecent photos of a 17 year-old in the first place or the police don't think it's criminal if he had.
Coward.
You’ll have to explain this whole “BBC deliberate self harm” conspiracy theory to me. We’re claiming that they gave this story too much coverage, to distract from other stories in the news? Surely the obvious reason they went big on this one was the need to be seen to not try and hide one of their own from scrutiny? Because we all know exactly what would happen if they were seen to give this story not enough coverage. Where would the sweet spot be? How much coverage should it have got, exactly, to avoid being accused of some sort of malfeasance?
Rupert Murdoch has destroyed this country.
Fecker is not even British.

This is probably one of the rare occasions that Redcafe and RAWK might actually agree on something - that The Sun is the lowest form of pond life
Because you regularly do work for the BBC? Or because the alien microwave messages told you?
Exactly - if anything they oversteered
I wouldn't be surprised if Johnson's mates at The Sun, ran this story and embellished it to cause the most amount of chaos, knowing it would force the BBC into a corner and make them go overboard in their coverage.
