Huw Edwards - 6 month suspended sentence (pg 107)

The human garbage employed by the Sun never have to explain themselves
They're there hiding away in Hampstead , ruining lives to fund their coke habit when they should be having dogs set on them

 

[cleavers]

I just don't understand why high profile figures, particularly those that are on the public's TV screens daily, stray off the straight and narrow. In this day and age the likelihood of it remaining undisclosed is slim to nonexistent. It's just stupidity.

Could it be "serious mental health issues" over many years ?

it could be... it could be other things too - I'm keeping an open mind

On an empathetic level, I feel for him. Basic human compassion rules I should; but he's still an arsehole for what he's done. I feel more for his immediate family. Irrespective of any depressive state, it's not fair to put your wife and children through the ringer. And whilst the media are once again complicit wankers, none of this would have happened if he'd have resisted his sinful urges. Ask this question, had the revelations not been made, would he have come clean? I'm dubious.

Quick edit: I too hope The Scum are soon dead and buried. Detestable publication and I'm proud to say I've never bought a copy.

Or do these serious mental health issues manifest themselves when caught in the act?

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Seems some beeb employees are now complaining of inappropriate behaviour now. This will run and run I suspect

 

[bluethrunthru]

So after five days, a national newspaper didn’t uncover any criminality but just outed someone?

This Sun - surely not

 

[Blue and true]

Maybe sinful was a stretch. But a 61 year old paying a teenager for sexually explicit photos, behind his wife's back, isn't the cleanest type of behaviour, is it? I suspect the mental health issue is being massively overplayed to see he comes out of this with a softer landing. I feel for him and his family, but he should have known better.

 

[Vic]

Has he? I didn't know that, I wouldn't know that, but obviously he hasn't got ant help for it, coming out and saying that he has MH problems after the horse has bolted makes him look a bit desperate.

Why didn't he tell anyone what he was doing before he got caught up in his mess and why didn't he tell anyone that he has mental health problems whilst he was carrying it out?

Just looks shit when they throw the mental illness card in.

Doubling down on what you don't know. OK.
