BBC have just released his name. Worst kept secret in showbiz but I hope he sticks around for victims to come forward should they wish to.

I’d have been stunned if it had been anyone else TBF. Though I do still wonder about those Kneecap allegations. Not enough of a household name pre 2025 I suppose. Oh, and no suicide attempts.

Will people publicly support him? Is he being stitched up by “the system “?

Hmmm, Rolf Harris, Huw Edwards, Gary Glitter, Russel Brand, Jimmy Saville, DLT, Stuart Hall, Tim Westwood, and now David Walliams. I wonder who’s next to be outed?

What do they all have in common? All are/were BBC and ITV luvvies. And all were feted by the Labour Party.

Me thinks that BBC and the Labour Party might both have a deep-rooted problem with harbouring and turning a blind eye to filthy sex pests and nonces.

Walliams is not a paedo nor a sex attacker. The allegations are pretty underwhelming although he gets the award for endlessly asking people out.

What I don't understand is how Huw Edwards, in possession of Category A images of children (the most severe images involving penetrative sexual activity) got off with a 6 month suspended sentence, when the sentencing guidelines specify up to 6 years in custody?

Meanwhile Lucy Connolly, emotionally impacted by the Southport killings, was jailed for 2 1/2 years for a badly judged and quickly deleted tweet.

Two-tier justice seems strong in the UK at the moment depending on your political affiliations.

It’s always been the case that the rich and powerful could avoid trouble by using their expensive lawyers. Victims should be able to bring cases far earlier than years and decades after the crime.

Two tier justice is an international problem. Where are the Epstein files and his client lists?

I see that the term 'minor attracted persons' is now being used in some progressive circles to help 'non-stigmatise' those participating in pedophilia. Maybe soon to be added to the LGBTQ+ flag perhaps?

No, I'm sorry, you're not a minor attracted person, you're a dirty filthy pedophile and you deserve locking up.

What about the 15 year old that alleges he collected her from soho and took her back to his house where he touched her intimately. He was allegedly in his 30s. How does that not make him a paedophile?

Unfortunately there are so many men with images of CSA on their computer it would overwhelm the prison system if you sent them all to prison. So instead it's normal to get of with a suspended sentence. It sucks.
Lucy Connelly was convicted of inciting violence. If I criticise a corn merchant for inflating prices and a crazy person is so angered by this they go and stab said merchant that's a terrible thing but not something I'm liable for. If there is already an angry mob of people protesting high food prices and I stand at the head of them and blame corn merchants for raising prices and saying we should burn down their houses with them inside, and the mob then attempts to burn down their house Insk guilty of inviting violence. If you disagree then take it up with Mills. People set fire to buildings with completely innocent people inside. That's not OK to do. It's not OK to incite it either. No matter how "emotional" your reaction to a completely different event.

I don't see the point in conflating how men with CSA are charged with Lucy Connelys completely different case. The only overlap is the "free speech" element I guess and no, I also don't think CSA should come under free speech either. Unless you are Elon Musk who did post video of a young boy being very brutally SA'd to twitter one time and argued that it was important "public information" (no consideration for the victim). He got away with it but that's not because it's OK it's because, as someone else pointed out, the real two tier justice in the world is between the rich and everyone else.

Stop derailing my thread please. Start your own if you want to, but to answer your points:

This comparison is a lot less straightforward than you're making out.
Firstly, Huw Edwards DID have Category A images, but the claim about a six-year sentencing guideline is misleading. The judge actually identified a starting point of 12 months for the Category A offending, with a range of 26 weeks to three years. He received six months suspended after mitigation and an early guilty plea.
Lucy Connolly, meanwhile, wasn't jailed simply for a badly judged tweet or for expressing an unpopular political opinion. She pleaded guilty to inciting racial hatred. Her tweet explicitly called for hotels housing asylum seekers to be set on fire, during an extremely volatile period following the Southport murders. It was viewed 310,000 times and reposted 940 times.
The sentencing judge categorised her offence as high culpability and highest harm, with a three-year starting point and a guideline range of two to six years. She received 31 months, and the Court of Appeal subsequently refused her appeal.
You can absolutely debate whether either sentence was appropriate. But comparing the two as though one man got away with possessing child abuse images while a woman was imprisoned for a slightly ill-advised tweet ignores the actual offences, the applicable sentencing guidelines, the circumstances and the judicial reasoning.
One was sentenced for making indecent images of children. The other was sentenced for intentionally inciting racial hatred through a public call for serious violence.
If you want to argue that there's two-tier justice, (and i thought the general gist of that was that white people got harsher sentences than immigrants so not sure where you're plucking this from in your scenario), at least make a comparison based on the actual offences and sentencing guidelines, rather than cherry-picking headline figures that don't even accurately represent the cases.
