Huw Edwards - 6 month suspended sentence (pg 107)

[chesterbells]

Yeah it got pretty much decimated. I don’t think people realise that, however much more people are criticising the bbc domestically, the world service was one of the few things still with a renowned reputation globally and just how powerful that is/was.

Well said. Though in the internet age I think you are over-egging it a bit wrt some territories.

should have got more for the 2nd stretch the twat.

I went to school with a lad who turned out a right ****. Sent down for rape, released. Then committed the most appalling rape against a child, sent down only to be released again. Then committed a very brutal 3rd rape, before the lily-livered cunts decided to throw away the key.

Anyone who does it twice will likely do it a 3rd time.

So right but some on here are prepared to give the benefit of the doubt. I’m not saying Edwards is a criminal, he’s on the cusp and his risk assessment would be higher than most due to his perverted propensity.

So in your eyes , a man mourning at the queens funeral , earning £450k a year , fronting the main news on BBC 1 for ten years, should be allowed to drop his kecks on a website , pay someone 35k for hand shandies and be allowed just a simple apology because said individuals have consented and still turn up for work because he’s “depressed?” Hiding behind his wife , yet only a few hours earlier telling the press he’s “Annoyed” at the accusations?

bang on post,he's a fucking disgrace along with the outfit he work for

I just don't get, why didn't he use pornhub like the rest of us?

Or maybe go fishing or something? I’ve had many a good thrust on the river Ribble

Each to their own, I often go for a walk down by the canal.


Edit: ffs predictive text, I meant to say wank not walk

What do you want to happen to him?

Karma is written in the stars, hope his family get the peace they deserve and he suffers the life he deserves.

Canal wanking is free with a TV licence.

Play for city up front
In all seriousness, as long as he isn’t ever on TV again I couldn’t give a shite tbh , we don’t need perverts fronting this country’s “flagship” TV organisation.
Let’s hope he makes up with his wife and has a good divorce lawyer for his own sake and his children’s.

So a man, who is not guilty of a crime should lose his career because you class him as a pervert?

If we expanded that out to the wider world, should we say that anyone who ever consentually slapped their partners arse during sex should be decried as a wife-beater. Let's boil alive those who have ever performed any sort of role play and burn at the stake any celeb who's ever used Pornhub !

I'm just glad social media and the internet wasn'y around when I was younger, because if even half of what I got up to before I turned 40 was ever filmed for posterity, I'd have been unemployed for 30-40 years.....as would millions more.

So far, at most he's only guilty of doing something that some people consider perverted. The people involved don't.

Such a lack of forgiveness is society nowadays that calls for a person who makes a single mistake to be punished for the rest of their lives.

No, but I wouldn't be calling for his head either. Look at the facts for one moment....do we know if anything happened when she was 17 ? The Police obviously know, otherwise he would be facing charges?

An adult is an adult when they are 18 and it's their choice what they do at that point.
