[Harry Wilson's tackle]

A grey 60 ish man paying for pics of young boys .

Disgusting .

His poor family

Boys, you say?

If it turns out to be girls, presumably you'll salute his luck?

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

The Sun have declared they will not pursue this story.

But they continue to use the 'BBC In Crisis' banner.

Job done.

Defunding of the BBC incoming.

Stand by for Mad Nad, and the MP for the 18th century in the pile-on.

Why didn't he just watch gay porn on the internet if thats his thing on the side of been married.

Police say nothing illegal has taken place and will not be pursuing a case. Certainly sounds like a stitch up at the moment. Also highlights the power of the media and social media. I hope that he gets the help he needs.

Right wing agenda to control the media combined with folk at BBC seemingly feeling like they are free to do whatever they want.

Regardless of legality/law, it sounds like exploitation from those with power over others. Don't have that much sympathy for such behaviour

i wouldn’t have a clue. Couldn’t care if they were, labour, liberal, green, SNP, whatever. Everyone has the right to be investigated not hounded. Or should i conclude from your post you couldn’t give a stuff, if they were to be tory then they should be classified guilty, innocent or not.

soz, my misunderstanding, i see why you quoted the word, "investigated", from the op

It may be easy for you, but with five kids in the house maybe he struggles for privacy.

quick fact check. They haven’t been paid anything by the sun

Who knows what decisions one would make with the mental health issues he had.

Re The Sun.
The paper said it has evidence that the man/woman sold pictures when they were 17.
It’s been reported 18 is the cut off when it comes to legality.
Stripping away the “the sun lies” hysteria for a moment, it’s fantasy to think they would have published that story if they didn’t have evidence. Yes the paper has done bad things over the years, but on the whole their output on controversial stories like this is heavily legalled. This story was worded in such a way that it had clearly been legalled.
It’ll be Interesting to hear what the sun says about this. It‘s highly unlikely it is a case of them simply making it up cos they’re evil people doing evil things, as entertaining an explanation as that is.

no problem

 

[DJ NOBO]

They’d outright lie about something like that ?
You‘ve been watching too much Netflix if you believe that.

If that is what happened I would agree. As the lawyers for the young person have said that the original allegations were "rubbish", we cannot know at the moment if any exploitation has gone on though.

If they had evidence they'd have used it rather than just spitting out this shit.

Mmmkay. Maybe you've been watching too much Disney+

 

[The Clamp]

I have an inkling people may regret being so quick to defend certain parties in this case.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Murdoch hates the Beeb, everyone can access it and there are no corporate profits.

Anything to put the boot in from the organisation that hacks peoples phones and has spent 5 decades ruining peoples lives.

If you don’t live here and pay tax here you shouldn’t be allowed to own our media and you shouldn’t be allowed to have a footprint in radio, TV and print.

Labour sucking up to them again, poor

All of this.

The story is less about the individual and more about Murdoch using all of his outlets (I watched a bit of Talk TV the other night when they were talking about it and it was hideous!) to get one over on the BBC.

Not sure what he decided to do meant more privacy

 

[sparkie]

And then he could have told everyone it was a mistake as he was looking to buy a tractor online. I think that's the goto accepted excuse now.

Not evil. Political and economical.

Defund the BBC and all that.

If only Das Reich were available to explain it all for us.

Yep. We will see in the coming days. Either the sun or the police are going to look pretty stupid. Get your popcorn out.
