Huw Edwards - 6 month suspended sentence (pg 107)

[chesterbells]

Everyone has a different moral compass.

Absolutely mate. I suppose I was just trying to point out it’s still a topic worthy of discussion, regardless of criminal offence or not.

Another victim it would appear of social media witch hunts and a vile press.

 

[chesterbells]

Lots. Obviously.
At this point in time it's more about whether he can continue to front our national public broadcaster having been touted as being a bit "out there"

Yep, based on the limited info we have I do think it will take some doing to return to his public role as previously.
Also some comments in last 24 hours too (mentioned on the BBC’s own output) that he wasn’t universally liked amongst his work colleagues too - but then there probably aren’t many in that boat.

Leave him be and give him a second chance. He's fucked up but shouldn't lose everything, including his mind, over this.

This feels like a 21st century version of parading someone naked through the streets whilst the public throw rotten food and jeer.

It's distasteful, grubby and ultimately we've all got more important shit to worry about. The Sun's editor should have his feet held to the fire, doubt he will though.

This country eh!

You can be an absolute bellend sometimes. And a mild bully. You are an intelligent man, and I feel you someone’s abuse that gift. Plus, you’re intelligent, but not impressively so, and thereby your intellect is manifestly limited. Which renders your disposition on here to be little more than posturing.

But on issues like this, your judgement is usually very sound. You generally have a very good antenna for social mores and what is just, fair and apparent from observing those conventions.

I agree with the trust of what you’re saying, plus I feel it’s a disgrace how judgemental (and by extension, unforgiving) we have become as a society.

Utterly shameful.

Anyway, worst kept secret ever.

Get off the fence you disrespectful MF.

It would be useful to see the pics before making up my mind. I've got a foot in both camps at the moment.

He will lose his job, and everyone will forget about it within a month or two.

I initially suspected the images were from a male but the initial reports were very specific in just saying a person with no reference to sex however a few overseas papers are referring to the person as a female.

Whilst the police have said no charges are being pursued technically there was an offence if as claimed this started at 17 however it got me thinking about how ridiculous given he could quite legally have sex with her once she's 16 but can't request a top lesspic till she's 18 without risking jail, seems a bit back to front to me.

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

He will lose his job.

I very much doubt that. There's no grounds for firing him.

 

[Dirty Harry]

Oh, so that’s who it was.
