[News] Huw Edwards

[worthingweird]

If anyone was unsure, this proves beyond doubt what a scum paper The Sun is. May all those scum reporters and editors associated with publishing all this, and the papers owner, rot in hell.

Hopefully they get sued into bankruptcy.

If it ain't true...sue.

Still at least this gossip is keeping Boris 'contempt of court' Johnson's phone out of the headlines.

So job done.

As far as I can see it's not even being reported?

 

[portlock seagull]

Very hard to know what’s true or not with the gutter press - if the basis of it is true it’s only come to light cos of Scholfield and isn’t great but also isn’t illegal.

Either way, these papers with their non important witch hunts have learned nothing from what they did to Caroline Flack at all.

It’s mostly untrue though isn’t it? I mean on balance, over the years. They get so much spectacularly wrong and/or misrepresented.

I’m still thinking of Kelvin MacKenzie presiding over the infamous “scousers pissing on their dead at Hillsborough” the day after. Unforgivable really.

Anyone that buys that rag needs their head looking at. I’ve never understood why people do. Seriously alarming it was the most popular paper, no idea if still is? You’ve got to have shit for brains if you do.

The same country that voted for Brexit - doesn’t surprise me! Yeh I think there’s no credibility in any of the tabloid newspapers’ story % of truth myself.

Well, the police have said nothing illegal happened, which isn't what the sun said.

I suspect he/they will sue the scumbags, if up to it.

 

[Doc Lynam]

This story doesn’t surprise me as deemed important by a paper who hacks everyone’s mobile phone, including dead children in the pursuits of a story. Hideous paper, owned by a hideous man.

 

[A1X]

Would it not be the son's mother who sent to The Sun with the false story being targeted?

The Sun published it and seemingly ignored evidence it was false. They’re well and truly in the firing line.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Every mention of the ‘alleged victim’ in that scum rag labels the person in their early 20’s as a ‘child’ or ‘youngster’. It’s absolutely abhorrent, especially as the person in question has called out the story as BS.

 

[dangull]

What was he thinking being a high profile figure induging in this pervy behaviour.
Social media was always a risk it would come out to the media.

 

[Easy 10]

Saw his name floating around the other night on Twitter and wasn't overly surprised to turn on the 10pm news last night to see Rita anchoring, when Huw usually covers most if not all the midweek broadcasts.

To be honest I've always preferred your Clive Myries and Rageh Omaars, proper journalists who actually go out in the field and report from dangerous warzones, before returning home and then getting back behind a shiny desk in the studio - they don't just sit on their arses in Manchester reading an autocue. As far as I can gather, the most dangerous place Edwards has ventured to is The Mall, when there's some tedious royal shindig to present on.

The inevitable pile-on is going to be unpleasant. He clearly has some serious issues he has to work through with his wife and family, but will not be afforded the privacy to do so. He reads out the news and commentates on people riding on horses, and does it well enough, but he appears to have made his own bed now and will have to lie in it.

South Wales police say they have ended their inquiries into the matter.

The force said a meeting with the BBC and Met police earlier this week led to them carrying out fresh inquiries.

They first decided in April no offence had been committed.

After the Met announcement on Wednesday, South Wales police said they had reached the same conclusion.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

How’s it been a stitch up? Did he message the girls ?
Did he met one during lockdown?

What has it got to do with you, or any of us, if he did?

 

[dejavuatbtn]

Buying The Sun should be a capital offence.

 

[Eeyore]

I, like most, don't know anything about this case except that the police say nothing illegal has happened.

All I do know is that my heart genuinely sinks when I see a copy of The Sun in someone's hand.

It is publication which exists to stimulate the sewers of humanity.

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

Asking for, and receiving indecent images of under 18’s is illegal. Paying £1000’s for them makes it worse as it’s coercion. The police obviously don’t have evidence at present, so best to let it run its course.

 

[Javeaseagull]

I read a little while ago that the Sun is 200 million in debt and has no actual assets. It is basically bankrupt and shouldn’t be trading. Hopefully it goes the way of the News of the World. What a shower of shit.

 

[chickens]

I genuinely hope this ends the Sun. It’s been a fact free campaign of persecution with the Sun weaselling back away from their initial accusations and desperately digging around for some fresh dirt on the guy after they realised their initial stories were nonsense.

They are a disgrace to the British media landscape.

 

[trueblue]

What was he thinking being a high profile figure induging in this pervy behaviour.
Social media was always a risk it would come out to the media.

With the proviso that nobody knows what he actually did, yes, the risk of it becoming public was high. Social media is a cesspit and impossible to control but it doesn’t follow that mainstream media have to turn private relationships between adults into a scandal.

 

[Weststander]

Wife works in the industry. Lots of skeletons and closets there but whether illegal only the law can decide.

The law have decided … case closed.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

I don’t think they’ll be happy and stop until he has killed himself.

The intrusion into his life has been vile and disgusting, up there with the demonisation of Liverpool etc. The very worst of the right wing press powered by an innate hatred of the BBC (because they are overwhelmingly made up of the educated classes).

I wish Huw all the best and hope he recovers soon.

People buy this shit.
Social media as full of speculation

People are lascivious and they create the demand. You get the press you deserve.
