To think Rupert Murdoch should burn in the fires of hell

Honestly, he’s evil. The Sun & all his press is the absolute worst of the worst.

The mostly fabricated story about Huw Edwards was likely timed to cover up tory scandal, bring down the bbc.

Boris Johnson STILL has defied a court order & not handed in his phone. This should be the main headline- not destroying a man for his sexual preferences (which weren’t deemed illegal activity anyway)

Murdoch is absolute scum. The most morally empty vile arsehole.

His wife didnt deny the story in her statement

DrSbaitso · 12/07/2023 20:14

But if he didn't exist, where would we direct this kind of Two Minutes Hate?

FourFourOne · 12/07/2023 20:14

Why do you say it’s fabricated?

Laughingstock1991 · 12/07/2023 20:14

Oh god please, I don’t want more debate about Huw. Murdoch & his scummy press still shouldn’t have destroyed yet another person.

@FourFourOne because the met police have said nothing illegal happened. It was done purely to detract from other shit - as it always is.

Why have you started a thread if you don't want a debate?

No smoke without fire, and as it’s now 4 people that have come forward about Huws supposed scummy behaviour it’s likely there is some truth

Why should Huw get away with it but according to you Tories shouldn’t?

drpet49 · 12/07/2023 20:16

Huw has destroyed himself with his seedy behaviour.

If you don't want a debate about Huw, don't start debates about Huw.

Laughingstock1991 · 12/07/2023 20:17

@Tinkerbyebye because Boris has defied a court order & is actually doing something illegal.

Huw hasn’t done anything illegal.

Murdoch is a press baron who weilds a lot of power. That's what media tycoons do. Control and manipulative the narrative.

You're BU to be so dramatic about it

@FourFourOne because the met police have said nothing illegal happened. It was done purely to detract from other shit - as it always is.

I thought it was the South Wales police. And I wouldn't trust the police's judgement about men's sexual behaviour as far as I could throw them.

There are about 5000 other, better reasons Murdoch should be in a fiery pit.

OhcantthInkofaname · 12/07/2023 20:18

And I would gladly light the match.

Laughingstock1991 · 12/07/2023 20:18

@DrSbaitso i haven’t. It’s about Murdoch. Who has no soul or conscience.

Huw is responsible for Huws behaviour, no one else

Huw has destroyed himself with his seedy behaviour.

"Seedy" lawful behaviour is a private matter. It has no place being dragged into the public arena against the will of all those involved.

Laughingstock1991 · 12/07/2023 20:19

@Justcallmebebes its not dramatic though is it. The tories are engaged in all kinds of dodgy activity but instead the Sun decided this was more in the public interest. Not a morally bankrupt government.

Huw has destroyed himself with his seedy behaviour.

We don't actually know what he has or hasn't done. So far it's nothing unlawful. But what it actually was or whether it was seedy is still speculation.

This .
BBC staff have also come forward now having received inappropriate messages. He sounds like he was doing this to multiple people for a long time .

@Createausername1970 exactly. And now he’s in hospital.

Meanwhile Boris has still defied a court order.

Justcallmebebes · 12/07/2023 20:21

He also treated Jerry Hall pretty shabbily but I think she got a property or two

Laughingstock1991 · 12/07/2023 20:21

@hattie43 why? Here to defend the government are you? Because their behaviour is just fine isn’t it!!

LightlySearedontheRealityGrill · 12/07/2023 20:22

I thought the kids involved were minors when its started. Anyway public figures engaging seedy sex behaviour with young powerless people should be held accountable. Not a role model, doesnt belong on TV.

Laughingstock1991 · 12/07/2023 20:22

@LightlySearedontheRealityGrill literally no proof of that. Just the Sun creating a story. Police have said no illegal activity.
