Huw Edwards named as BBC presenter!

[Amuseaboosh]

I'm actually shocked.

They presumably started with whatever the Sun and the parents had, plus the young person's statement If all that amounted to nothing they presumably don't waste further time on a baseless allegation.

This thing is more like an early 2000s forum site, than a 2020s social media site. It's not so algorithmically driven.

The mob won't be happy till they have a head on a spike.

When things like this happen, it makes me realise why public hangings were well attended and fun days out for some.....

When you're done tearing apart the man who owes everyone everything because he reads an auto cue.

I dont have an agenda so theres nothing to see through. Your winding it up and watching it go might be your tactic for Huw but it wont work on me I'm afraid, second hand bullying is pathetic.

Others have agreed with me and nobody else is targeting like you are, so you can leave off with tbe wolf pack tactics.

Like I said I'm not engaging however much you goad.

*I just don't get it

Jon Ronson has a good book about public shaming actually. Worth a read if you're interested in that type of thing (not public shaming people but the kind of psychology behind it).

Which 'witch hunt' are you referring to? Please show me exactly which of my posts you mean.

I suspect statements like that make Rupert Murdoch a very happy man.

Exploiting children is not a ‘mental health’ episode.

The power is why they do it. That’s the thrill.

Its not a lack of judgment. It’s planned.

Who says they're 'believed'? Do you understand what 'allegation' means?

Ironic given it's an allegation against huw which has received 28 odd pages of vile posts.

I was referring to the posters on here.who clearly believe it, yet dismiss his wife's statement and outright say they're lying.

How is hospitalised due to mental health crisis, happy?

Coming back to a sensible discussion and ignoring some very odd and unwarranted posts...

In terms of the future, unless more new allegations are reported to the police, it looks like this is going to be an internal BBC investigation and that's it. HE was considering retirement anyway, they'll probably settle it confidentially between themselves and...that's it? I don't think there'll be more to it tbh.

I do however think all media should look very carefully at their internal policies, HR teams and culture. This includes the papers who as we all know even from recent court proceedings have a lot to answer for in other areas...

Were you off of the planet the last 3/4 days?

A selfie of Huw staring into the camera, flashing his naked arse with his pants round his ankles, has been leaked recently as well. It's all coming out now.

It’s that picture a fake though ?

The media witch hunt- person condemned before anyone had heard or seen any evidence. Now the same people think they are entitled to see evidence are asking for ‘evidence’ of a person’s mental health issues🙄 give me strength.

The victims mum’s way of fighting was to sell the story to The Sun. How admirable.

If there were pictures of a 17 year old then there would be a case to answer. So there aren't any pictures from when the first person was 17 otherwise the police would've charging him. It's an accusation from the a stranger mother of a troubled young person, not the truth.

The allegations are 100% true.

👏Dont forget the smarmy comments about him being in the priory.

Where’s the proof?

Where is that shown?

Has it been photoshopped?

Oh I'm glad you said. Case closed.

Have not the whole thread, which usually annoys me when someone posts.

However, I felt compelled to post without reading further to say this:

Huw Edwards, despite what he has done, is a human being.

He is entitled to a private life.

I too am shocked given that I respected him as a journalist and presenter - it was unexpected - however it’s a lesson for us all. People on TV portray a persona. We do not know them. We know them only in their role on TV, they have a private life, a sex life, they have secrets and they make mistakes. They are not perfect. If he has broken the law he should face the consequences. If not, he might still have to face the consequences of bringing his employers name in to disrepute.

No one deserves to be hounded.

No one’s family deserves to be hounded.

This is a man who has poor mental health and I very much doubt he is in hospital because he is “playing the mental health card” - saying this is insulting to the MH professionals who have assessed him.
