[News] Huw Edwards

[amexer]

When his name cropped first when he paid girl 20/30k the police may have been peed off family did not want to pursue case and have been digging deeper ever since.

I was a bit surprised after he gived his evidence today he then said 'And now over to Thomas Shnafanakker for the latest weather".

You can change the settings in each group you are in.

I think even having been sent the photos would potentially be enough to meet the guidelines, whether or not someone saved them or not. Even if you didn't save anything, they could still presumably exist on a Whatsapp server somewhere that could be accessed via warrant.

But, as a manager you're more effective approaching the situation with 'how can we help you do your job better' rather than 'you're not doing your job well enough'. Both tell the person that what they have done isn't good enough, but one is a more constructive approach. This is how work place cultures form and they're incredibly hard to change if everyone uses the second approach rather than the first.

CEO is probably right because you can be more ruthless with staff if you have followed a constructive performance supporting process. If you've done all you can and they're still underperforming then your mechanism for moving them on is easier.

Yeah but I shortened an example (from several) into a quick post…….this was often after months of support/training/‘reasonable adjustments’ and the like (and I was usually the recipient of the complaint - not the line manager)

Thank goodness not what is involved in this case but only time anything adult obscene has ever appeared on my laptop is several times when I have been looking for an Albion stream

"gived" ?

The BBC knew in November, kept on paying him and kept it quiet. Both of these actions are despicable. However they have a track record …

BBC in hiding pedo shock

Put him in the same cell as Gary Glitter in Portland Prison...........................

 

[Reddleman]

The thing I genuinely don’t get is how someone of his profile and fame thinks he can do stuff like this and not get caught. It’s literally insane.

I was wondering this. Did he maybe think his identity wasn’t revealed to the blokes he was getting the pics off of?

If any good has come from this whole episode it at least demonstrates we need to delete better lads. Proper porn I’m talking about… Like she-male stuff.

Isn’t Whatsapp end to end encrypted, meaning that nothing exists that can be accessed on a WhatsApp server?

 

[marlowe]

"Making" an indecent image of a child has quite a broad interpretation and it can include simply openening an email attachment, which seems a bit harsh as how do you know the attachment contains child porn unless you open it.

Presumably to establish guilt it would have to come with a prior warning as in "Please find attached...." so there was evidence that you had prior knowledge of what it was you were opening, or if not evidence that the image had been solicited by you..

Indecent and Prohibited Images of Children | The Crown Prosecution Service​

www.cps.gov.uk
From the above link of the CPS website...

“To make” has been widely interpreted by the courts and can include the following:

• opening an attachment to an email containing an image: R v Smith; R v Jayson [2003] 1 Cr. App. R. 13

The BBC knew he had been arrested, but that means nothing. He might have been not guilty, and you can't sack anyone on mere allegations. They say they would have fired him if and when he had been charged, but he resigned before then.

You can't blame the BBC for keeping anything quiet. There are legal restrictions on they an and cannot report in these cases. It isn't like a social media witch hunt (compare the EDL idiots at Southport yesterday).

Although reading the news off an autocue can't be a £450,000 a year skill - can it?

Not saying what you think whilst reporting the 'news' is a lot harder than it looks I'm sure ( irrelevant, but in specific reply)

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Not following the story in huge detail - is the sender also facing charges?

He was charged previously and convicted of 7 charges in March. He received a 12 month suspended sentence.

Which makes the chances of Edwards being jailed seem slim.

It was the originally unrelated investigation into this person that led the police to Edwards when they did the forensic analysis of his phone.

Indeed.

You can’t sack someone because they have been arrested. He could have rinsed them for millions for unfair dismissal.
