@@Greylobster it’s a crazy society we live in the fact is the young person is 20 now and payment and pictures could of started when after they turned 18 we don’t know the facts the police have said they have all the messages and determined no crime has been committed
I’m by no means an Andrew tate fan but imagine if this was him, the bbc would absolutely demolish him. Instead of headlines about poor mental health and how much he’s suffering in hospital, they’d be calling him a pedophile and everything else under the sun. Absolutely sickening how they protect him and spin the story because he’s ‘the nice chap on tv who held all our hands through the queens passing’. People need to get a grip, if the allegations are true then he needs to be punished and treated like a criminal just how any of us would be if we did the same.
Yeah. Seems like rules change for different people. If him or anyone who has done wrong they should be held accountable. I don't like when people trying to defend the person who has done wrong because he has mental health issues. Who knows whether they are acting as they have mental issues to cover the whole situation. This world is becoming very unfair and unpleasant place to live in.
He didn’t break the law. All you people asking for his head on a plate are really the bullies we see in school. What he does in his private life is up to him provided he isn’t breaking the law.
@@chandimagunaratne8220 Indeed the world is an extremely unpleasant place with the likes of Andrew Tate in it. Huw did nothing wrong no law was broken Andrew Tate has been arrested for rape and sex trafficking !! How in what universe are the two comparable ?
Philip Schofield was vilified and lost his job and his good "friend" Holly "butter wouldn't melt" Willoughby. Why is this different, why are we being asked to feel sorry for Huw. Mental health issues are no excuse.
For a start, Schofield groomed a young man from an early age but was never investigated by the Police. Edwards has been accused and the first accusation has been quashed by the met already. The rest are just allegations. Innocent until proven guilty.
Because the "victim" says nothing to see here. The police say "nothing to see here". All we have is a witch hunt lead by a newspaper whose owner has an axe to grind against the BBC. I hope Edwards sues the Sun over this.
I think most people have great difficulty with hypocrites and a low tolerance for them. Would Huw Edwards be okay with a man giving 35,000. pounds to one of his kids for nude photos (if that's what he actually did)? If not, then he is a hypocrite, and if he would be okay with that, is that a responsible parent? It boils down to his lack of caring about a vulnerable person who is younger, less worldly and poorer, in favour of his own selfish needs. His "mental health" issues didn't prevent him from working or indulging in sexual behaviour (allegedly) and he only needed to be hospitalised when he was found out. More hypocrisy. Is that the kind of person you want to watch on TV? I think not. Most of us are disgusted by it.
Isn’t the girl in question 17? I’m confused why it’s ok for a 16 year old to have sex but cannot take photos of themselves and give to other people. Yes, it’s illegal what he and she have done, but I guess that’s the way it goes. Did he know she was 17? Not sticking up for him at all, just sometimes not all the facts are as they seem
@@letmelivegaming First off it isn't a girl, it's a boy who was apparently using the money for cocaine. He was vulnerable and taken advantage of by an older, wiser, richer man. Edwards was presenting himself to the public who's paying his salary, as a happily married father of 5 children, when in fact he is a homosexual, preying on young men. People have a right to know what they're paying for. Re-read my original comments for further elucidation.
as a person whom was abused as a child I know how these perverts hide in plain sight , normally well liked and pillars of the community . The long term mental problems are due to the stress of one day being found out. The man who abused me was exactly the same, well liked by family and friends but still a nonce. I am 50 and still suffer even day.
I completely agree and am a survivor myself from CSA. They often have a long record of it which gets broken when someone is brave enough to come forward. My step father was a supposed hard working man, often ‘poor him’ bringing up another man’s kids… it’s so easy for these predators to spin a line
He has admitted himself into a private hospital. Probably running in the tens of thousands a week. It's completely different to being sectioned by the NHS, which is only done when you're a threat to yourself or others. Anyone with money can admit themselves to inpatient private care.. Plenty of people would love to get that help from the NHS but they cant cos they dont earn close to millions working for the BBC.
Feeling suicidal is not a threat to yourself either. If it was then everyone who felt suicidal would be sectioned but it really doesn't work like that. Immediate danger is what is of concern
@@Binaural_Alchemist yeah I can. The BBC is a publicly funded corporation, meaning that the money he earns directly comes from me, you must be a snowflake if u think I can not talk on things I directly fund. The public have been questioning why the BBC pay these people so highly for a few years. Maybe u missed it but it was rather big news when the wages of top BBC staff was released in recent years. I will continue to complain about my tax money going towards so called stars. If you want to earn lots of money then go work for a private company. I can put blame on him and - or BBC. The same way I have every right to complain about the council, a state funded school, public hospital and the potholes on my road. My money, my say. And I'm also covered by health insurance for many conditions to be provided inpatient health care if needs be. And yes, of course I can't afford to pay for it outright. It's literally tens of thousands of pounds. Nothing to brag about is it? It should be affordable. So what u got to say about that now? Huw Edwards is a top earner cos someone at the BBC decided to give him many opportunities. It's not like he is a celebrity with a real self made profession behind him, in the same way football pundits are. The 10 o'clock news gets the same ratings regardless of huw presenting it or not which shows that the money he gets paid I'd not inline with the value he brings. Thank you for your concern young chap.
@@lauralishes1 Yeah, it's hard to imagine someone who worked in manual trades with a history of clinical depression who'd become entangled in similar allegations being given immediate psychiatric help - that person would have a long wait for an assessment let alone treatment. Edwards is lucky to he able to afford private health care...
I can't believe what I'm hearing!!! A man in his 60s was paying for reciprocal filth with people aged 17, 18, 19 and 20 . We know how vulnerable people are of that age ...and so did he. That's why he targeted them. He is a dirty old man. Adults are meant to protect people of that age because we know how nieve we are at that age . This whole scenario is disgusting absolutely disgusting. Using mental health as an excuse or decoy. What is going on here ?
NO ONE with mental health issues/illnesses uses their illness as an EXCUSE. Speaking as someone with an MH illness. You disgust me,as does everyone who is claiming the same. He's done wrong and has to pay for that. . But the S*n has form for hounding people with MH illnesses - we know what they did a few years back to another high profile presenter. That disgusting Murdoch rag needs shutting down NOW.
Jee, Millions of people suffer from mental health issues, but they DONT try to get explicit photgraphs from young people, & trying to use mental health as a get out of jail card is despicable, & disgusting, & an insult to all of the people who really are suffering with mental health, its disgraceful.
Most suicides end up killing them selves because they are on waiting list with the mental health services on the NHS. Some young kids have to wait 6 months to see someone.
Nope...the first accusation has already been quashed by the Police, the rest are just accusations. Would you like to be accused of being a paedohille? If that is ok with you, please do share your address.
Not her place to comment on the complainants. It has nothing to do with her. She said HE would respond when discharged from hospital, which I suspect will be sooner rather than later. Her job is to protect her children.
@VLind-uk6mb her job is to address the fundamental issue or not comment at all . She shouid have acknowledged the complainants. . Again too many people falling for the mental health card,. Let's not forget its not only rhe wife's kids who need protecting, there was someone else's child made victim to her husbands disgusting behaviour, so I repeat my original comment, it's all about me me me !!!
Louise Mensch is spot on here. The real story is what Huw has done and it feels inappropriate to be making him out to be the victim in this. That said, he's obviously struggled with mental health issues and it's heartbreaking to see this story unfold. Huw was the smooth, cuddly and safe guy who relayed the news to us all and it seems unlikley he'll return to that role. Sadly, these type of events with celebrities have become all too common in recent times. 😥
No she isn't. He didn't do anything illegal with the first person who has said the story is BS . We don't even know of that person is an addict. He only got 'abusive' and 'threatening' to the second person when they threatened to expose him for asking them to meet up (probably to the press for money) which they have now done. I don't know about you, but I if I was famous and asked someone on a date, they said no and I said..'well how about coffee?'...then they said they would expose me as a sex pest, I would be saying 'unkind' things as well!
@thethrawnscotsman5260 Can I ask why you're trying so hard and going to great lengths to cover for this man? We've heard everything that has come out, regardless of what your opinion is, there are a ton of concerns and unanswered questions that hopefully will be addressed at some stage. There were several instances where he was horrible, pushy and condescending to these young people and it's them I feel sorry for.
@@gemmalouiseroby8090 "great lengths"? Hardly! Do know what the word 'accusation' means? We have only heard one side and even one of these 'stories' has been shut down as BS already. Maybe you believe everyone is guilty until proven innocent, I don't. What if I find out where you live and accuse you of being a paedophile? I spread around that you like to sexually abuse young children. You may be innocent, maybe you aren't, doesn't matter, the damage is done, your name is all over the place and in newspapers. You would have to move away and try and start again until someone hears that you are a paedophile. Would that be ok with you? There were several instances where he was horrible, pushy and condescending to these young people and it's them I feel sorry for." Where is your evidence for that? You don't have any. At this moment in time he is innocent of any wrong doing.
Why on earth is there so much protection of Huw. Thank God Louise is there to make sense. The mental issue is because he got caught. So give me a break. Should have kept his disgusting urges under double wraps.
It's because of what he represents - Huw Edwards was the face of integrity, honesty, reliability, trust, strong moral and christian values, etc. This story really shakes us as a country/culture and our own sense of who we are and who we believe in. It's not really about some dirty pictures, The Sun or the BBC.
Yes I agree wholeheartedly with you, I was really being facetious towards this expectation that presenters should be perfect in every way...what is the alternative? A cyborg? The fact is they are human beings like all of us and I think people seem to find it hard to accept that
@@skygazer6898 You're right, now actually I don't care much what this guy or anyone else does, my comment was about the feeling across the country, people's highly-charged sense of moral outrage, you know the social conservatives who really worry about "scandal" rocking their solid establishment and makes them all aware that the top strata of society is full of lying hypocrites when they like to pretend that bad behaviour is reserved for the lower classes.
So may RUclips judges! He has been cleared of the first accusation and the rest are just allegations. He is innocent until proven guilty. If you have a problem with that , please do post your name and address so we can accuse you of being a paedo and spread it round your neighbourhood.
So, he's pulling the mental health card for sending over 35K for explicit photos from a young girl? He knew what he was doing! He got found out! End of!
Plonker, you don’t even know what the actual accusation is, yet you’re quick enough to demonise him. I hope your not an adult who has to make any judgments calls that may impact someone.
Piers is a joke. Tweeting "the BBC scandal is about to rock Britain" it was Huw Edwards mate and the Sun was lying about it being a child, that should be the real scandal, not the BBC
Well said Louise. What nobody is considering is the mother of the young person. She said she had screen shots. I don’t recall phone, laptops, tablets computers being seized. I know of somebody who did have these items taken and it took 7 to 8 months before they were returned. I wonder if lessons have been learnt after Savile.
It never ceases to amaze me that people, mostly men, risk their reputations, their careers, their marriages and their families for some quirky, sexual misdeed. Surely they realize what the risks are and how much can be lost. Politicians, celebrities and even royalty have engaged in extra marital affairs, underage hook ups, and other assorted lewd behaviour. I totally don't understand it, that some cheap sexual thrill is worth it.
Sadly, the fact is; the majority of males aged from 13 to over 100 are all biologically programmed to lust after women between 20 & 30... Most guys over 40 will lie their asses off that this is not the case; especially if they're married, but it's all bullshit... If you think 70 year old men are mostly attracted to 70 year old women, then you're only fooling yourself... Its natural... Nothing perverted... Its just the way god made us... There have been so many studies about this I'm surprised the research is never mentioned by the media... The fact that OnlyFans is predominantly young girls selling images of themselves to guys, effectively normalising this behaviour, just proves the hypocrisy of those who control the narrative.
Don’t know why people are talking about his mental health. That’s the excuse for everything. He’s a dirty old man paying a teenager for sex pics. Tv license payers money. Shocking how anyone cares how he feels.
Why is the young person vulnerable they are of legal age? Which is now 20 and 17 when it started you can’t say every young person is vulnerable every time they make mistakes themselves the question is why is she sending pics to a old man in the first place was quite happy taking his money
@@kahyui2486 well the police haven’t found a criminal offence and they have all the messages what u say is the law and what is the law is 2 different things when 2 17 year old share pictures which in todays society they do is that also illegal the fact is the young person is now 20 and is been going on since they was 17 but the payment could have started after the age of 18 do we have all the facts?
@@Jack-jz5kt 1) the correct terminology is lawful/unlawful. Not legal/illegal. Completely different. 2) the law doesn't care about your opinion. Buying explicit images from people under 18 is a crime. 3) the age of sex work is not there to criminalise young people. 2 17 year olds sharing pictures amongst each other is not an actionable crime unless used in an exploitive or abuseful way (example: revenge pxrn). The law is there to protect all young people against predatory and exploitive older people. 4) this is no different from the age of consent. 2 children having sex together is not an actionable crime. Nobody is gonna get arrested. These laws are literally out in place to stop older exploitive, exploiting the young. 5) use your common sense chap
@@kahyui2486 ok where is the proof the pictures started before they was 18 the messages did which like I said is legal messaging someone under the age of 16 is illegal if the police have checked all the messages and they found that she was sending pictures for money before the age of 18 they would have arrested him use your common sense chap 😂I forget this is the RUclips comment section and everyone know the law lol the person is 20 years old now and addicted to cocaine so my guess is the money stopped so that’s why we are hearing about this now change everything to 18 then the police can take action but if he had sex with them it would be legal but sending a picture is illegal that’s the world we live in but the fact is until he is arrested for breaking the law I will say he hasn’t broke the law the police have all the messages we don’t can not debate with simpletons
17:28 This guest is the only person speaking sensibly and fairly. Please keep her on your roster! Until she spoke I thought I had completely misunderstood the entire story. Thank you, ma'am! I wish you so much future success in journalism because you are one of few who understands what this entails.
No she isn't. He didn't do anything illegal with the first person who has said the story is BS. We don't even know if that person is an addict.

Metal health issues, guy has my sympathy. Predatory behaviour he can do one. The criminality is 'sexting' under the age of 18. Carol Walker says "The BBC have done a pretty good job".. sod off Carol
He hasn’t broke the law even the police said he hasn’t broke the law and they have all the evidence so how can you call him a predator? Being a predator is sexting with people under the age of 16 I don’t agree with it but that’s the law the like of scholfield are predators grooming 13 year olds
You are basing that on rumours. The original report said a teenager...that could be 18 or 19. He has been cleared of that by the Met. After the Saville embarrassment , they wouldn't clear him of that if there was anything there. Besides the 'indecency' laws are stupid anyway. You can be married and have kids at 16 but you can't take a pic of your wife breastfeeding!
@@thethrawnscotsman5260 IF the youngster involved is 20 now what age do you think they were three years ago? Added to which you seem to have an inordinate faith in the Met.
I would like to know if Hew’s wife trying to say that his mental health is bad because the accusations are untrue or that he did this because he has depression? I ask because I find it hard to believe that depression made him do this!!!
Louise Mensch comes across extremely well in voicing all her opinions as well as being very eloquent in her speech. I like her very much. She would definitely be a great regular asset to your show Piers . I think you should hire her for GB News!

@@thethrawnscotsman5260mate ur deluded.... to think he hasnt done anything wrong just makes me think your though process is just not realistic. Its sooo crystal clear that he has done something or else the british media wouldnt have played the mental health card. Fact is he is in the inner circle like philip scofield so he will be protected.
Huw Edwards has been reported as having severe depression. Not being able to control your sexual urges, threatening young people and soliciting specific favours from them, are not symptoms of depression, nor is depression a get-out clause for such conduct. After all, Huw has been able to perform perfectly well in his professional role in a prime position facing the public, and he was recently able to celebrate some successes with the BBC. It's odd that his mental health is being served up as an excuse for these morally dubious actions, when it clearly appears not to have impacted anything else that he did.
What happened to innocent until proven guilty? In this case, the police investigated and can't find anything to even charge him with. But in the public's eye he is already guilty. No trial. No evidence. All by rumours started by parents of his lover, parents who clearly failed to keep their kid away from drugs, and when I say kid, I mean their adult kid, and instead of looking at where they went wrong, they are blaming the world.
I totally agree with Louise. She has said what the common, innocent and ordinary people think. How can so may people in media confuse us with mental health and being a pervert. Are most media people like Edwards? 😊
@@VLind-uk6mbso have I. So by that maladaptive rationale I can exploit young vulnerable drug addicts and bully others while being married and paying for their silence. 🙄 So low resolution thinking
@@lorelei1761 ... I'm aware of the met police comment. I fear your comment will not age well on this forum. Watch this space.... There is more to come from this. More people coming forward.
At 23:00 Piers mentioned that Huw is church going practicing christian. No where else has his religion come up. But if it was a mosque going person then oh boy the media would be mentioning it over and over. And villifying the religion creating fear as they always do. Such hypocracy in the media.
Jim probably 'fixed it' for many of the establishment. Just a thought, but why did they wait until he died and then throw everything on him? Maybe because whilst living he could do more damage and bring others down with him? Dunno.
Absolutely nothing like the Schofield situation. Schofield groomed and underage guy and the police haven't investigated. Edwards (as far as has been investigated thus far) did nothing wrong and has been convicted by the media.
😍 Loved hearing the story from Robert F Kennedy Jr, about his mother Mrs.Ethel Kennedy's👑❤ advice about the fact that, the size of the hole grief leaves behind, never gets smaller.. Instead it's up to us as people, to grow larger.. Such a wise, wise woman.. Also, loved the fascinating documentary 'Ethel'🎥 about Mrs.Kennedy's life.. God Bless Her 🌟🙏
The bottom line is media needs to call out his pattern of behaviour! Sexual harassment is a crime in UK. The fact that Police and BBC think nothing had happened it’s beyond disgusting.
Saddened that a man whose voice always sounded so decent and truthful (to many of us) has, due to his alleged behaviour, taken (yet another) chunk of trust from the legacy media.
To me it’s like someone that’s always been there, is trustworthy, is a comforting voice in crazy times and then this happens, it just shakes the whole structure of things and you wonder who’s next, who else is hiding something. I don’t know, maybe the TV license just can’t be a thing anymore, people don’t want to fund this stuff.
@@neo123321 I think many have already taken that decision and revoked the license and so they should. Apart from the various abuses of power, it's time as well for people to grow up and stop living in the MSM cartoon world.
Because for the british people harry and meghan telling what they had going through is worser than when someone committed a sexual abuse thats why they risk all because over two days everybody is asking to gave him a 2chance
If the BBC is determined to cover up bad behaviour etc, dont do it with our money. Personally i feel robbed. We are forced to pay fir a useless service which wastes our hard earned money on pornography. Surely thats illegal. Time to stop the licence.
I'm rarely one to applaud Piers, but really appreciated the range of three interesting perspectives on the Huw story (and Piers actually let them all talk!!). Elsewhere online, I've already heard far too much sympathy for Huw. Are we really supposed to feel sorry for a guy whose 'depression' probably comes from having so much power and money that he just cannot seem to find good use for it? I'm also none too impressed that the guy hides behind the face of his wife, getting her to make the statement. (And let's not feel too sorry for her -- they've probably had an arrangement around this kind of thing for some time.) Kudos especially to Louise here.
There have already been too many assumptions in this story. Neither you nor I know anything about the Edwards marriage except that it has been long-lasting and has produced 5 children. A woman with 5 kids -- and possibly a career, but even if not she clearly has a lot to do -- may well not have known anything about what her husband did on hos phone.
@@SilverHayze no he has been open talking about his depression since 2002 why are you so concerned about someone who has not broken the law unlike Philip scholfield
What if he was being blackmailed ??? no one knows the full story of what was said back and forth, but if he was simply being nasty then you could be right.
He had a lover, the lover threatened to out him if he doesn't get money, Huw called him the C word and threatened to sue him. That is not criminal on Huw's part.
@@hannacook859 if that's how it planned out then yh...but if not his fucked...guess we just have to wait for all the evidence to come to light in the open ..we can only speculate at this time....my speculation is he got to big for his boots with the fame...his marriage was broken..and he always had a fantasy for the opposite sex ..and as his love was gone for his wife ..so was any attraction..so he indulged in his fantasy..or secret attraction that he has....at the cost of the poor person's health for his own gratification 🤔🤷
Shout out to all the women of the house - the ones that are the pillars of the home, and that despite their husbands’ weaknesses, step up like lionesses to protect their family.
@dixie 😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣 And his back-tracking on the 'jab'? And him getting the sack from the daily mirror over lies re:British army mistreating prisoners of war??
He couldn't have suffered all this nonsense...it seams fashion these days blaming bad behavior on mental illness !! I personally was shocked to hear it's Huw Edward !! He seams very level headed person to most of us.
Surprised at the tone Pierce and others are taking on this, not too many weeks ago they were slamming Philip over inappropriate behaviours. Don't use mental health or the fact he's your friend as the focus and excuse - a spade is a spade and he's done something VERY wrong.
Immoral acts cannot be excused.....regardless of how people loved him...He has a problem and needs to be removed, you can't ignore how he exploited young men...The discussion on morality and how this should not affect his job...If it was their child...they would have a different perspective....hypocrites!!!!!
I loved Huw as a newsreader especially as I’m also Welsh too. I just can’t get my head around it. I’m waiting for his explanation for breaking our nations trust this way. God bless all involved. 😢
Remember he hasn't actually broken any law. Personally I don't think the sun has any good reason to do a story on this and clearly over exaggerating the story and because the story ended up being a flop, it is going towards lockdown nonsense. Sounds more like a vendetta now.
You need an explanation as to why he likes much younger men and enjoys playing the 'picture' game with them? I imagine it will not be particularly groundbreaking or surprising.
As the police have said, no law has been broken . Let this be a warning to parents who are carrlessly giving their children devices to sell photographs of themselves. All you parents out there are guilty of enabling your children to access this sort of thing . Ps 17 year old these days are not children !!
How can this young person afford a high priced lawyer?? Schofield paid the lawyer fees for his "young man" too. Anyone with an addiction is in denial that they have a problem. The parents were only trying to save their child and end his association and his constant money giving to enable his addiction.
Except she is being disingenuous. He didn't do anything illegal with the first person who has said the story is BS and the police said there was nothing to investigate. We don't even know of that person is an addict. He only (allegedly) got 'abusive' and 'threatening' to the second person when they threatened to expose him (probably to the press for money) for asking them to meet up, which they have now done.

@@rachel2756 'allegedly' being the operative word. The Met cleared him of any wrong doing in the first case. The second , again, allegedly. If I was a famous person and I asked someone out on a dating site and they said they were going to expose me (most likely to make money)...I wouldn't be saying nice words to them either! We are talking legality not morality though. Still, he is innocent until proven guilty.
@@thethrawnscotsman5260 so you are saying that cheating multiple times on your wife with young people for money is not wrong? Thank you for that. I am sure his wife agrees.
Huw Edward's has played a blinder ,he's played the "mental health card" and now he is the victim. You couldn't make it up . I bet Gary Glitter and Rolf Harris wished they'd though of that one
That's the narcissist all over, destroy people then play the victim. He's just put himself in hospital to buy himself some time to think up more excuses and lies. He's disgusting.
Huw is in hospital, for depression. Well he SHOULD be feeling depressed! He's finally been exposed as the pervert he is. Like Schofield, both persons have created a public image/persona of a decent, respectful, moral person, who have commented on, and criticised many others - for far more trivial issues. It IS in the public interest for us to know that these people are in fact seriously dishonest and immoral. It totally changes my perception of Huw, and I won't watch anything he is involved in again. It's important not to support those who prey on young people, with the intention of abusing their naivety. It absolutely IS in the public interest - and we DO have the right to be informed!
He is someone who reads words from an auto cue you do know that right?. I cannot believe that people can see these people as some kind of moral compass he is simply a professional News reader/Journalist, he is not the archbishop of Canterbury .
Where is the proof that these young people are vulnerable? Nothing criminal has taken place, you may not like what Huw Edwards has been up to but it ain't our business. The only people that have the right to be angry and outraged are Mrs Edwards and their children. As for Edwards being a BBC presenter, I have watched him through the years and considered him a top presenter and excellent at what he does, but not for one moment have I been interested in his private life,. As for colleagues now coming out saying that Edwards bullied them, why are they saying it now but had not reported it at the time. As they say, the higher up the chain the more people want to bring you down and put the boot in.
I think Piers Morgans tone on this matter was somewhat sensationalist much like that Godforsaken rag- The Sun! The blonde haired woman on the panel I really respect her tone and assessment of this revelation.
Yes, this is the man who laughed at Meghan Markle and said her "claims of suicide can not be believed" yet he is very quick to speak up about his nonce peers schofield and Edwards. ournalist.
It is crazy world where people are sympathising with a sexual predator. He is likely depressed because of his compulsion & the probable consequence. It is not unusual for married religious man to be in the closet to hide their secrets, I feel sorry for his wife & family. Depression does not make you act in a sexually inappropriate way. There was a trendy married cooking presenter who used to frequent toilets for sexual relief, it makes me wonder how many are living secret lives.
Quite honestly this is not so much about huw Edwards but the bbc . If they had respected the initial call from the concerned parent all this business could have been avoided . Mr Edwards like ask of us had their own skeletons . He would still have a career , the problem addressed in house . But now the knives come out again .
Detectives from the Met Police have ended their inquiry into a BBC presenter and determined there is no evidence a criminal offence has been committed. You either hate the true facts or you are deflecting from your own sordid life.
@@peterbarton9856 They contacted the youngster that suddenly had one of the most expensive lawyers in London. The lawyer told the police that all was rubbish. So the victim wouldn't testify and they weren't so interested in the parents evidence! The allegation was child pornography, they didn't even investigate his computer or his phone. So they didn't find any evidence because they never looked. But they will have to open the investigation again inspite of all his high mighty friends. And then we will see!

Just saying for now, Huw Edwards has NOT committed a crime. Do not call him a pedo as right now he has not done anything to anyone under the age of consent. Thats the worst thing to call someone. Please use your brains...
Was a new edition of the DSM recently released? I have read the DSM-5 multiple times and do not recall "inappropriate communication with minors" one of the signs or symptoms of depression.
I imagine his depression was triggered by this becoming public, affecting his wife and family, his job, his reputation, his colleagues' reputations, the BBC, to which he has been devoted for 40 years. He is depression-prone and has been for years, so all the kerfuffle could have brought it on.
He's got caught that's why he's booked himself in a mental hospital all wrong
Think you mean Lunatic Asylum.
But he didn’t commit a crime I disagree with what he did but didn’t break the law
Yep, it's all too convenient
@@Greylobster it’s a crazy society we live in the fact is the young person is 20 now and payment and pictures could of started when after they turned 18 we don’t know the facts the police have said they have all the messages and determined no crime has been committed
You cannot be held criminally responsible if your sectioned , also there's that old tale of homosexuality can be cured by doctors . Complete madness.
I’m by no means an Andrew tate fan but imagine if this was him, the bbc would absolutely demolish him. Instead of headlines about poor mental health and how much he’s suffering in hospital, they’d be calling him a pedophile and everything else under the sun.
Absolutely sickening how they protect him and spin the story because he’s ‘the nice chap on tv who held all our hands through the queens passing’. People need to get a grip, if the allegations are true then he needs to be punished and treated like a criminal just how any of us would be if we did the same.
Yeah. Seems like rules change for different people. If him or anyone who has done wrong they should be held accountable. I don't like when people trying to defend the person who has done wrong because he has mental health issues. Who knows whether they are acting as they have mental issues to cover the whole situation.
This world is becoming very unfair and unpleasant place to live in.
He did nothing against the law.
You don’t have to break the law to be morally wrong.
He didn’t break the law. All you people asking for his head on a plate are really the bullies we see in school. What he does in his private life is up to him provided he isn’t breaking the law.
@@chandimagunaratne8220 Indeed the world is an extremely unpleasant place with the likes of Andrew Tate in it. Huw did nothing wrong no law was broken Andrew Tate has been arrested for rape and sex trafficking !! How in what universe are the two comparable ?
Philip Schofield was vilified and lost his job and his good "friend" Holly "butter wouldn't melt" Willoughby. Why is this different, why are we being asked to feel sorry for Huw. Mental health issues are no excuse.
Yep all just as bad
It isn’t different.
And no one has asked us to feel sorry for Huw Edwards.
For a start, Schofield groomed a young man from an early age but was never investigated by the Police. Edwards has been accused and the first accusation has been quashed by the met already. The rest are just allegations.
Innocent until proven guilty.
Because the "victim" says nothing to see here. The police say "nothing to see here". All we have is a witch hunt lead by a newspaper whose owner has an axe to grind against the BBC. I hope Edwards sues the Sun over this.
He wasn’t vilified, he was allowed to walk away from grooming a child, without going to prison.
I think most people have great difficulty with hypocrites and a low tolerance for them. Would Huw Edwards be okay with a man giving 35,000. pounds to one of his kids for nude photos (if that's what he actually did)? If not, then he is a hypocrite, and if he would be okay with that, is that a responsible parent? It boils down to his lack of caring about a vulnerable person who is younger, less worldly and poorer, in favour of his own selfish needs. His "mental health" issues didn't prevent him from working or indulging in sexual behaviour (allegedly) and he only needed to be hospitalised when he was found out. More hypocrisy. Is that the kind of person you want to watch on TV? I think not. Most of us are disgusted by it.
Thank you!!! Perfect response.
Isn’t the girl in question 17? I’m confused why it’s ok for a 16 year old to have sex but cannot take photos of themselves and give to other people. Yes, it’s illegal what he and she have done, but I guess that’s the way it goes. Did he know she was 17? Not sticking up for him at all, just sometimes not all the facts are as they seem
Well said.
@@letmelivegaming First off it isn't a girl, it's a boy who was apparently using the money for cocaine. He was vulnerable and taken advantage of by an older, wiser, richer man. Edwards was presenting himself to the public who's paying his salary, as a happily married father of 5 children, when in fact he is a homosexual, preying on young men. People have a right to know what they're paying for. Re-read my original comments for further elucidation.
@@letmelivegaming funding a kids coke habit OK with you? Pls don't have children
as a person whom was abused as a child I know how these perverts hide in plain sight , normally well liked and pillars of the community . The long term mental problems are due to the stress of one day being found out. The man who abused me was exactly the same, well liked by family and friends but still a nonce. I am 50 and still suffer even day.
True !! Good wishes.
thanks for sharing your experience. wishing you all the best.
I'm so sorry to hear about your experiences. You are absolutely correct about these disgusting nonces
Yes, usually they are abused by :- father , uncle , brother , more usual the mother bloke !
I completely agree and am a survivor myself from CSA. They often have a long record of it which gets broken when someone is brave enough to come forward. My step father was a supposed hard working man, often ‘poor him’ bringing up another man’s kids… it’s so easy for these predators to spin a line
He has admitted himself into a private hospital. Probably running in the tens of thousands a week.
It's completely different to being sectioned by the NHS, which is only done when you're a threat to yourself or others. Anyone with money can admit themselves to inpatient private care..
Plenty of people would love to get that help from the NHS but they cant cos they dont earn close to millions working for the BBC.
Feeling suicidal is not a threat to yourself either. If it was then everyone who felt suicidal would be sectioned but it really doesn't work like that. Immediate danger is what is of concern
It's not his fault he earns more money than you. You can't blame him for that.
He wouldn't meet the criteria to be admitted to an NHS hospital, not that he would deem an NHS hospital to be worthy of him
@@Binaural_Alchemist yeah I can. The BBC is a publicly funded corporation, meaning that the money he earns directly comes from me, you must be a snowflake if u think I can not talk on things I directly fund. The public have been questioning why the BBC pay these people so highly for a few years. Maybe u missed it but it was rather big news when the wages of top BBC staff was released in recent years. I will continue to complain about my tax money going towards so called stars. If you want to earn lots of money then go work for a private company. I can put blame on him and - or BBC. The same way I have every right to complain about the council, a state funded school, public hospital and the potholes on my road. My money, my say.
And I'm also covered by health insurance for many conditions to be provided inpatient health care if needs be. And yes, of course I can't afford to pay for it outright. It's literally tens of thousands of pounds. Nothing to brag about is it? It should be affordable. So what u got to say about that now?
Huw Edwards is a top earner cos someone at the BBC decided to give him many opportunities. It's not like he is a celebrity with a real self made profession behind him, in the same way football pundits are.
The 10 o'clock news gets the same ratings regardless of huw presenting it or not which shows that the money he gets paid I'd not inline with the value he brings.
Thank you for your concern young chap.
@@lauralishes1 Yeah, it's hard to imagine someone who worked in manual trades with a history of clinical depression who'd become entangled in similar allegations being given immediate psychiatric help - that person would have a long wait for an assessment let alone treatment. Edwards is lucky to he able to afford private health care...
Wow, so the suspect is actually the victim. And the victim...apparently doesn't exist or deserve any empathy.

That's why he targeted them. He is a dirty old man. Adults are meant to protect people of that age because we know how nieve we are at that age . This whole scenario is disgusting absolutely disgusting. Using mental health as an excuse or decoy. What is going on here ?

Louise Mensch is spot on here. The real story is what Huw has done and it feels inappropriate to be making him out to be the victim in this. That said, he's obviously struggled with mental health issues and it's heartbreaking to see this story unfold. Huw was the smooth, cuddly and safe guy who relayed the news to us all and it seems unlikley he'll return to that role. Sadly, these type of events with celebrities have become all too common in recent times. 😥
No she isn't. He didn't do anything illegal with the first person who has said the story is BS . We don't even know of that person is an addict. He only got 'abusive' and 'threatening' to the second person when they threatened to expose him for asking them to meet up (probably to the press for money) which they have now done.

Louise was spot on with her analysis.
Why on earth is there so much protection of Huw. Thank God Louise is there to make sense. The mental issue is because he got caught. So give me a break. Should have kept his disgusting urges under double wraps.
It's because of what he represents - Huw Edwards was the face of integrity, honesty, reliability, trust, strong moral and christian values, etc. This story really shakes us as a country/culture and our own sense of who we are and who we believe in. It's not really about some dirty pictures, The Sun or the BBC.
What we really need is an inhuman robotic AI perfect in every way
Really? I don't see it that way. Huw is an excellent presenter and other than that, I could not care less about his personal life, nor should you

Piers is a joke. Tweeting "the BBC scandal is about to rock Britain" it was Huw Edwards mate and the Sun was lying about it being a child, that should be the real scandal, not the BBC
Well said Louise. What nobody is considering is the mother of the young person. She said she had screen shots. I don’t recall phone, laptops, tablets computers being seized. I know of somebody who did have these items taken and it took 7 to 8 months before they were returned. I wonder if lessons have been learnt after Savile.

Louise Mensch - spot on - thank goodness she is on here to offset the sheer BBC pro bias of the previous 2 interviewees.
It never ceases to amaze me that people, mostly men, risk their reputations, their careers, their marriages and their families for some quirky, sexual misdeed. Surely they realize what the risks are and how much can be lost. Politicians, celebrities and even royalty have engaged in extra marital affairs, underage hook ups, and other assorted lewd behaviour. I totally don't understand it, that some cheap sexual thrill is worth it.
The man is ill and has been for some time.
So the man Schofield had an affair with is actually 27 now and Huw Edwards was sexting with someone over the age of consent? So what?
Have you seen any evidence, we only heard one side…Trial by Media again SMMFH
Sadly, the fact is; the majority of males aged from 13 to over 100 are all biologically programmed to lust after women between 20 & 30... Most guys over 40 will lie their asses off that this is not the case; especially if they're married, but it's all bullshit... If you think 70 year old men are mostly attracted to 70 year old women, then you're only fooling yourself... Its natural... Nothing perverted... Its just the way god made us... There have been so many studies about this I'm surprised the research is never mentioned by the media... The fact that OnlyFans is predominantly young girls selling images of themselves to guys, effectively normalising this behaviour, just proves the hypocrisy of those who control the narrative.
Doesn’t think he will get caught
Don’t know why people are talking about his mental health. That’s the excuse for everything. He’s a dirty old man paying a teenager for sex pics. Tv license payers money. Shocking how anyone cares how he feels.

The law is there to protect all young people against predatory and exploitive older people.
4) this is no different from the age of consent. 2 children having sex together is not an actionable crime. Nobody is gonna get arrested. These laws are literally out in place to stop older exploitive, exploiting the young.

Huw Edwards has been reported as having severe depression. Not being able to control your sexual urges, threatening young people and soliciting specific favours from them, are not symptoms of depression, nor is depression a get-out clause for such conduct. After all, Huw has been able to perform perfectly well in his professional role in a prime position facing the public, and he was recently able to celebrate some successes with the BBC. It's odd that his mental health is being served up as an excuse for these morally dubious actions, when it clearly appears not to have impacted anything else that he did.
What happened to innocent until proven guilty?
In this case, the police investigated and can't find anything to even charge him with.
But in the public's eye he is already guilty.
No trial.
No evidence.
All by rumours started by parents of his lover, parents who clearly failed to keep their kid away from drugs, and when I say kid, I mean their adult kid, and instead of looking at where they went wrong, they are blaming the world.
I totally agree with Louise. She has said what the common, innocent and ordinary people think. How can so may people in media confuse us with mental health and being a pervert. Are most media people like Edwards? 😊

Absolutely nothing like the Schofield situation. Schofield groomed and underage guy and the police haven't investigated. Edwards (as far as has been investigated thus far) did nothing wrong and has been convicted by the media.
Really?

The bottom line is media needs to call out his pattern of behaviour! Sexual harassment is a crime in UK. The fact that Police and BBC think nothing had happened it’s beyond disgusting.
Saddened that a man whose voice always sounded so decent and truthful (to many of us) has, due to his alleged behaviour, taken (yet another) chunk of trust from the legacy media.
To me it’s like someone that’s always been there, is trustworthy, is a comforting voice in crazy times and then this happens, it just shakes the whole structure of things and you wonder who’s next, who else is hiding something.

@@neo123321 I think many have already taken that decision and revoked the license and so they should. Apart from the various abuses of power, it's time as well for people to grow up and stop living in the MSM cartoon world.
@@dnbdiva2227 I did too, it’s messed up isn’t it.
Because for the british people harry and meghan telling what they had going through is worser than when someone committed a sexual abuse thats why they risk all because over two days everybody is asking to gave him a 2chance
If the BBC is determined to cover up bad behaviour etc, dont do it with our money. Personally i feel robbed. We are forced to pay fir a useless service which wastes our hard earned money on pornography. Surely thats illegal. Time to stop the licence.
I'm rarely one to applaud Piers, but really appreciated the range of three interesting perspectives on the Huw story (and Piers actually let them all talk!!). Elsewhere online, I've already heard far too much sympathy for Huw. Are we really supposed to feel sorry for a guy whose 'depression' probably comes from having so much power and money that he just cannot seem to find good use for it? I'm also none too impressed that the guy hides behind the face of his wife, getting her to make the statement. (And let's not feel too sorry for her -- they've probably had an arrangement around this kind of thing for some time.) Kudos especially to Louise here.
Great statement
Your assertions about mental health are simply ludicrous.
There have already been too many assumptions in this story. Neither you nor I know anything about the Edwards marriage except that it has been long-lasting and has produced 5 children. A woman with 5 kids -- and possibly a career, but even if not she clearly has a lot to do -- may well not have known anything about what her husband did on hos phone.
You know nothing about mental health. I wonder if you have heard of certain people with severe depression who display bizarre risky behaviour.
As supposed to his time on GMB when Piers never let ANYONE talk.
I agree Louise the BBC should be thanking The Sun for reporting this when they failed.
Here we go let’s hide behind mental health issues!
He has suffered with depression for years, so he not hiding.
@Joannepye24 very convenient timing though... maybe it's the 35k he spent on a young person's crack habit that got him all depressed
@@SilverHayze no he has been open talking about his depression since 2002 why are you so concerned about someone who has not broken the law unlike Philip scholfield
@@Joannepye24 So you have personal knowledge of his medical history do you? Don’t believe everything that’s put out on the media.
im a bit confused about the texts being threatening and the cops saying there is no crime being committed
What if he was being blackmailed ??? no one knows the full story of what was said back and forth, but if he was simply being nasty then you could be right.
@@britturk123 it's a possibility blackmail could be involved in a way 🤔🤔
He had a lover, the lover threatened to out him if he doesn't get money, Huw called him the C word and threatened to sue him.
That is not criminal on Huw's part.
@@hannacook859 if that's how it planned out then yh...but if not his fucked...guess we just have to wait for all the evidence to come to light in the open ..we can only speculate at this time....my speculation is he got to big for his boots with the fame...his marriage was broken..and he always had a fantasy for the opposite sex ..and as his love was gone for his wife ..so was any attraction..so he indulged in his fantasy..or secret attraction that he has....at the cost of the poor person's health for his own gratification 🤔🤷
Shout out to all the women of the house - the ones that are the pillars of the home, and that despite their husbands’ weaknesses, step up like lionesses to protect their family.
Yeah shout out to the wife here, who's got his back enough to spew the cop out that is mental illness
How do you know that she wasn’t aware of what was going on ?
🙌🏻here for this 👀
I always feel comfortable with Piers on utube
I respect his journalism 👏
After he back tracked over the jab??
😅🤣😅🤣
You need to take NeuroGen, however it appears from your comment it may well be to late 😇
@dixie
😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣
And his back-tracking on the 'jab'?
And him getting the sack from the daily mirror over lies re:British army mistreating prisoners of war??
He couldn't have suffered all this nonsense...it seams fashion these days blaming bad behavior on mental illness !! I personally was shocked to hear it's Huw Edward !! He seams very level headed person to most of us.
He was cleared of the first accusation...this could all be BS. We don't know at this moment.
Again he wasn't cleared of the second allegations.
@@somniumisdreamingor the 3rd or the 4th
Omg he’s going to get away with it
Surprised at the tone Pierce and others are taking on this, not too many weeks ago they were slamming Philip over inappropriate behaviours. Don't use mental health or the fact he's your friend as the focus and excuse - a spade is a spade and he's done something VERY wrong.
Does she need a job from BBC seems to be defending abusive behaviour too hard??
Immoral acts cannot be excused.....regardless of how people loved him...He has a problem and needs to be removed, you can't ignore how he exploited young men...The discussion on morality and how this should not affect his job...If it was their child...they would have a different perspective....hypocrites!!!!!
I loved Huw as a newsreader especially as I’m also Welsh too. I just can’t get my head around it. I’m waiting for his explanation for breaking our nations trust this way. God bless all involved. 😢
He broke his wife's trust even more.
If he had nothing to hide, I wonder why he wasn't disgusted by the allegations and spoke out days ago
Remember he hasn't actually broken any law. Personally I don't think the sun has any good reason to do a story on this and clearly over exaggerating the story and because the story ended up being a flop, it is going towards lockdown nonsense. Sounds more like a vendetta now.
You need an explanation as to why he likes much younger men and enjoys playing the 'picture' game with them? I imagine it will not be particularly groundbreaking or surprising.
As the police have said, no law has been broken .
Let this be a warning to parents who are carrlessly giving their children devices to sell photographs of themselves. All you parents out there are guilty of enabling your children to access this sort of thing .
Ps 17 year old these days are not children !!
How can this young person afford a high priced lawyer?? Schofield paid the lawyer fees for his "young man" too. Anyone with an addiction is in denial that they have a problem. The parents were only trying to save their child and end his association and his constant money giving to enable his addiction.
Excellent
Well done Louise! Two things CAN be true at once.
Except she is being disingenuous. He didn't do anything illegal with the first person who has said the story is BS and the police said there was nothing to investigate. We don't even know of that person is an addict. He only (allegedly) got 'abusive' and 'threatening' to the second person when they threatened to expose him (probably to the press for money) for asking them to meet up, which they have now done. I don't know about you, but I if I was famous and asked someone on a date, they said no and I said..'well how about coffee?'...then they said they would expose me as a sex pest, I would be saying 'unkind' things as well!
At this moment in time he is innocent of any wrong doing.
@@rachel2756 'allegedly' being the operative word. The Met cleared him of any wrong doing in the first case. The second , again, allegedly. If I was a famous person and I asked someone out on a dating site and they said they were going to expose me (most likely to make money)...I wouldn't be saying nice words to them either!
We are talking legality not morality though. Still, he is innocent until proven guilty.
Scotsmen the BBC have found the 2nd person's allegations of pressure and bullying to be upheld.
@@thethrawnscotsman5260 so you are saying that cheating multiple times on your wife with young people for money is not wrong? Thank you for that. I am sure his wife agrees.

*It would be ironic if Huw Edwards were to break this news to the world 😁*
Huw Edward's has played a blinder ,he's played the "mental health card" and now he is the victim. You couldn't make it up . I bet Gary Glitter and Rolf Harris wished they'd though of that one
What treatment will he receive for sending and receiving pictures?
That's the narcissist all over, destroy people then play the victim. He's just put himself in hospital to buy himself some time to think up more excuses and lies. He's disgusting.
Huw is in hospital, for depression. Well he SHOULD be feeling depressed!
He's finally been exposed as the pervert he is.
Like Schofield, both persons have created a public image/persona of a decent, respectful, moral person, who have commented on, and criticised many others - for far more trivial issues.
It IS in the public interest for us to know that these people are in fact seriously dishonest and immoral.
It totally changes my perception of Huw, and I won't watch anything he is involved in again.
It's important not to support those who prey on young people, with the intention of abusing their naivety.
It absolutely IS in the public interest - and we DO have the right to be informed!
He is someone who reads words from an auto cue you do know that right?.
I cannot believe that people can see these people as some kind of moral compass he is simply a professional News reader/Journalist, he is not the archbishop of Canterbury .
They're doing a great job with your hair, Piers! It's getting a bit more volume. Nice.
Piers, thank you for doing your best to be an objective journalist unlike many of your guests in this video.
Except he was attacking Huw Edwards before the first two guests had differing opinions. That isn't objective journalism.
Morgan is a two faced hypocrite end of !!
6:02 How can the allegations be proven or disproven if the police are dropping the investigation for no apparent reason?
There isn't police/court involvement. Therefore, nothing can or will be proved.
Because the girl or boy is legal age he hasn’t broke the law
It's a man
@@rhianpainter6196 such a dumb thing to say he hasn’t broke the law
They can't. People try to correlate a non investigation with proven innocence. Lol. Crazy people
Where is the proof that these young people are vulnerable? Nothing criminal has taken place, you may not like what Huw Edwards has been up to but it ain't our business. The only people that have the right to be angry and outraged are Mrs Edwards and their children. As for Edwards being a BBC presenter, I have watched him through the years and considered him a top presenter and excellent at what he does, but not for one moment have I been interested in his private life,. As for colleagues now coming out saying that Edwards bullied them, why are they saying it now but had not reported it at the time. As they say, the higher up the chain the more people want to bring you down and put the boot in.
Are presenters crazy.... Defending him 😮😮😮😮😮
Love Piers Morgan, he's great x
your an ideal source and today's topics prove it. thank you piers
I respect your voice sir! That isn’t an issue - just run and help the country
I think Piers Morgans tone on this matter was somewhat sensationalist much like that Godforsaken rag- The Sun! The blonde haired woman on the panel I really respect her tone and assessment of this revelation.
You can take piers away from the news of the world but you'll never take the news of the world out of piers lol it's in his blood
Poor Huw just a dirty nonce who got caught and will now play the victim . Lock him up .
When it comes to mental health wasn't piers' answer was to tell men to just man up? Coming at it a whole lot differently now.
Yes, this is the man who laughed at Meghan Markle and said her "claims of suicide can not be believed" yet he is very quick to speak up about his nonce peers schofield and Edwards.
ournalist.
I’ve noticed he’s trying to come across as me nice guy.
Why don't you expose the story about Prince Harry diddy riding camilla😂
😂😂😂 the boys drug dealer is the happiest person in all of this.. rent boy comes to mind 😮😮😮
It is crazy world where people are sympathising with a sexual predator. He is likely depressed because of his compulsion & the probable consequence. It is not unusual for married religious man to be in the closet to hide their secrets, I feel sorry for his wife & family. Depression does not make you act in a sexually inappropriate way. There was a trendy married cooking presenter who used to frequent toilets for sexual relief, it makes me wonder how many are living secret lives.
Stop making excuses for his behaviour
I agree with every word from David!
Ooh Mental health lets use that card ....wrongun 🤬
Their are a lot of parrots about today.
14:15 it’s like you summoned the BBC
Maybe the young person was denying it because he didn’t want to loose his source of income to feed the addiction
Paid off AGAIN
Quite honestly this is not so much about huw Edwards but the bbc .
If they had respected the initial call from the concerned parent all this business could have been avoided .
Mr Edwards like ask of us had their own skeletons .
He would still have a career , the problem addressed in house . But now the knives come out again .
Piers climbing down from his covid commentary regarding vaccines. We’re not fools piers, we remember what you said.
Never forget
Where is the Evidence!!!
The Met didn't investigate the alleged crime! They just closed the investigation.
Detectives from the Met Police have ended their inquiry into a BBC presenter and determined there is no evidence a criminal offence has been committed. You either hate the true facts or you are deflecting from your own sordid life.
@@peterbarton9856 They contacted the youngster that suddenly had one of the most expensive lawyers in London. The lawyer told the police that all was rubbish. So the victim wouldn't testify and they weren't so interested in the parents evidence! The allegation was child pornography, they didn't even investigate his computer or his phone. So they didn't find any evidence because they never looked.
But they will have to open the investigation again inspite of all his high mighty friends. And then we will see!
@@katarsett9384 Why did the parents NOT go to the police with their 'evidence' but went to a newspaper instead? Seems very odd don't you think? Why didn't the newspaper print any of the 'evidence' that they said they had? Seems very odd don't you think? Of course, these true facts don't matter to your sordid mind.
@@peterbarton9856 You seem to like the word sordid. I suggest you wait and see!
The BBC was trying to bury it!
Luckily the Sun and the Internet wanted the truth.
It will be revealed!
@@katarsett9384 Apparently not the case that he was 17. Notice how the Sun newspaper is backtracking on that. Grow up, kid, the facts are not what you want them to be. It's almost like you wanted a 'child' to be abused to satisfy your own urges.
IDK...America's strange...glad and happy to be Norwegian and Happy & Eating unprocessed REAL FOOD💪💪...I liked this video Piers Morgan Uncensored yes!!!!👍😅
£35,000 for revealing photos seems way over the top. I wonder if he was being blackmailed ?
The police may have found that when they investigated. So probably not.
Just saying for now, Huw Edwards has NOT committed a crime. Do not call him a pedo as right now he has not done anything to anyone under the age of consent. Thats the worst thing to call someone. Please use your brains...
Was a new edition of the DSM recently released? I have read the DSM-5 multiple times and do not recall "inappropriate communication with minors" one of the signs or symptoms of depression.
I imagine his depression was triggered by this becoming public, affecting his wife and family, his job, his reputation, his colleagues' reputations, the BBC, to which he has been devoted for 40 years. He is depression-prone and has been for years, so all the kerfuffle could have brought it on.
Douglas, YES!!!
The beeb have played this all the way, another hit job
They are all rotten to the core
