To be shocked it’s Huw?

His wiki page says he’s a Christian and a weekly church goer. Not a great ambassador for them, ah well

Can we leave them alone now and give them the privacy they need?

This picking over of the corpse is unedifying and gross.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 12/07/2023 18:17

Very shocking and sad

WeetabixTowels · 12/07/2023 18:17

I was shocked too.

But - enough now I say. Police have decided there’s no crime to answer to. The man is in hospital. It was the same with Philip Schofield - people won’t settle until they have blood.

Yep. It’s positively Orwellian.

I get angry at politicians fucking up because they make serious decisions about our LOI good, our homes, finances, workplaces, neighbourhoods etc and they SHOULD be an example of an upstanding moral human.

The men who read people the news - Meh. I can’t sweat one tiny drop over it.

WTF is this? Would we say this about any other crime - would you say being a Muslim makes a person more likely to commit a crime?

Quite. Maybe stop the witch-hunt and focus on other things that are quietly being swept under the carpet no doubt.

‘Very sad . I always loved his work on royal occasions.’

he’s not been diagnosed with a terminal illness… he’s been revealed as an abuser.

Supernova23 · 12/07/2023 18:23

Makes me laugh how they play the mental health card when they get caught. Bet he didn’t have mental health issues prior.

Snapdrag0n555 · 12/07/2023 18:25

He did have severe mental health issues prior. It was well documented as he was very open about it.

Yes this is the worst bit. Jon Sopel spoke to him what yesterday and said he was very angry and likely not to reveal himself yet when there's little option suddenly the old trope of mental health is the cause .

ididntwanttodoit · 12/07/2023 18:25

What exactly has he done? is it about buying explicit images from a 17 year old? I though all men who read e.g. Playboy etc were guilty of that one. At leats the 17 year old is getting the money. or is there more to it that I'm not aware of?

Apparently he did and had previously talked about it.

Oh FGS.

No offence has been committed. He hasn’t abused anyone and frankly the mother of the original young person seems dodgier than dodge.

This is how witch hunts actually harm - tiny little exaggerations here and there designed to overblow things.

He’s clearly not a nice person and has bullied people online who were threatening to out him but there’s no evidence he abused anyone

Yes I’m sure I read years ago that he’s suffered from depression all his life.

YouJustDoYou · 12/07/2023 18:31

Well, that's the thing with some men. "Oh, John Doe is just the LOVELIEST guy! So kind! So respectful, he would NEVER cheat!", then turns out he's shagging Stacey from Accounts as well as Jim the delivery guy and posts about how his wife is "too Vanilla" blah blah blah. Same old story.

His ongoing battle with depression is very well documented if you'd bothered to look. But carry on kicking him if it gives you a thrill.

Funkyblues101 · 12/07/2023 18:35

Actually, one human really IS the poster boy for Christianity. But it's not Huw.

OhmygodDont · 12/07/2023 18:36

Aye because people of any church/place of worship are known to be above Lordy.

WhileMyGuitarGentlyWeeps · 12/07/2023 18:38

Nope. Heard it DAYS ago. And he is an over privileged overpaid 'just past middle aged' man in a powerful position. Not shocked at all. Typical behaviour for some men in positions like him.

Funkyblues101 · 12/07/2023 18:38

ZenNudist · 12/07/2023 18:13

Did Huw ever say he was the posterboy for Christianity?

Since when is one human representative of an entire religious denomination?

Fluffed up my last post.
There already is a poster boy for Christianity, if you can believe it! Not Huw. Just as well.

JeandeServiette · 12/07/2023 18:39

I'm shocked that his wife was the one who named him.

SlipSlidinAway · 12/07/2023 18:39

Apparently there are complaints about him from colleagues.

This is sick. He is well documented for having mental health issues, including depression so bad he couldn't get out of bed. Don't be an arse.
