Deano & Dalian's Umbrella Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Sky and the Guardian are both saying that the BBC have this evening reported that: " Huw Edwards is facing “yet more allegations of inappropriate behaviour” this evening. The new accusations are that he behaved inappropriately towards colleagues at the BBC." But I can't find this on the BBC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first thought when I heard it on the radio was whether he tried to take his own life The Sun need to be shut down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted July 12, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) He's obviously a bit of a letch. Then again he's had mental health issues, maybe this is a side effect, he's having a bit of a breakdown. Trying to get into contact with young men is odd behaviour but I don't know, maybe this is how rent boys operate these days. Old men chasing young rent boys is nothing new at all. If you're that way inclined it's no different to old men trying to engage with young women. It's usually called a mid life crisis. It appears he's been acting inappropriately with some others at work? Well let's see the evidence but it could well be another side to his deteriorating mental health, it could be he is an aggressive perv or it could be more stuff and nonsense. So far zero laws have been broken and a man and his career have been left in tatters for nothing than a few clicks for The Sun.

And why are you cropping out the bit about no evidence? This looks to have been an absolutely meritless witch hunt, the earliest rumours of illegality look like they were nothing but lies from someone looking to profit from the story, and so much of it has been bollocks, it's probably wise to not rush to judgement on any of the other "facts" of the story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted July 12, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 12, 2023 Is it because he's a man chasing men? If he was a 60 year old man originally accused of chasing after a 17 year old girl who then transpired to actually be a 18 year old girl, would people be on their high horse? It's adults communicating with adults. **** me the world is full of rich old men with young dolly birds on their arms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post markavfc40 Posted July 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 12, 2023 Even if it is true I don't get what the story is here. Middle aged bloke likes looking at pics of younger legal age adults. It is hardly a headline news scandal is it. The craziest part of it is that the rag that have brought this to the public's attention had for years on a daily basis printed pictures of topless young adults for which the target audience would have been middle aged men. I assume the supposed scandal in all this is because the young adults he allegedly likes to look at may be male. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
