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

Well if proof was needed that I was living under a rock there it is! I did not know who it was and was guessing at the wrong person! I feel a bit disappointed it's Huw Edwards but it's not like I actually know him so that's daft. I think being found out could well have sent him into a mental health crisis but how sorry do I feel for someone who's been behaving like a creep and a bully? Dunno. The Sun hasn't exactly covered itself in glory either but no surprise there.

The Catholic church is full of priests who are Christians and church goers, didn't stop them abusing young boys.

Is this some weird thing that Christians are better than everyone else.

I was only interested in this story hoping that The BBC TV Licence fee might be abolished as I am struggling to pay it. I wonder if I send in a picture of my minge, they'll accept that instead?

😂😂😂

It's been common knowledge for a while. Or do you only get your info from the legacy media (oh dear) and do you believe that religious automatically = great person incapable of wrongdoing?

Oh dear. Oh dear. Oh dear.................

Wait until you hear about (some) Catholic priests. Then your mind really will be blown.

so did he pay for the pictures? Unlikely as the Met said nothing illegal.

Wow. Because your first thought about a sleazy newsreader was that this is an opportunity to forment religious hatred?

This. ^ Disgusted by that comment tbh, and outraged it's been allowed to stand. If it was any other Religion it would have been taken down immediately.

@Zonder

Would you be so sympathetic had he approached your kids ? , Not everyone with depression propositions vulnerable young adults at multiple times .
Yes his situation is sad but depression doesn't give licence to behave anyway you want without repercussions.

You can sympathise with someone's MH struggles without ignoring their terrible behavior.

And besides, it was this that I was commenting on:
suddenly the old trope of mental health is the cause
when we know he has a significant history of MH so hardly wheeling out an old trope!

Oblomov23 · 12/07/2023 19:35

Didn't even think of him so a bit surprised.

Of course he paid for pictures.

Through OF or directly is unknown, 17, 18, 19, 20 is unknown.

For the last time THE MOTHER WENT TO THE POLICE AND THEN THE BBC AND LASTLY THE SUN.

If it was on a platform like onlyfans, then there will have been payment. I don't know the intricacies of such platforms, I do know though they're for profit.

Pretty sure no-one has said that. Stop making stuff up to suit your agenda, and adding to the Christian bashing. Hmm

He's also a Leo !!! That explains a lot .

Well the police say that he's nothing that is against the law

Did Huw ever say he was the posterboy for Christianity?

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

Exactly that

neither are some of their priests! It is estimated that 216,000 children were abused by Catholic priests between 1950 and 2020, and that accounting for abuse by other Catholic church employees increases the total number to around 330,000. Around 80% of the victims were boys.

IKR. These posts are ridiculous. Do people think k Jesus is having a board netting or something saying “We have to but him loose he’s bad for business, we need better ambassadors”

It takes the spotlight off all the other ones that infest the bbc...i employed 2 women once who were big name producers....told me they were too old and failed the casting couch to get more programmes.....
