He's obviously ashamed now. Hidden away to let the dust settle. PR spin won't change what he's done. The Cats out. They're exposed in the cover up now. The left are trying to whitewash it.
Its certainly not !!!!!!!!!!! Huw Edwards has been suffering from acute depression for a considerable time. There was an interview he gave in Welsh, in the South Wales newspaper, "The Western Mail" back in 2017, stating that at times, he was so depressed that he was unable to get out of bed, and was in floods of tears, acute depression is not a nice illness, but thousands suffer in silence here in the Uk. He has been suffering from acute depression for many years, so to say its a smokescreen is very unfair. It does not take away the fact, that he has been caught behaving in an inappropriate manner. He no doubt will have to answer for his conduct in the future, when he is in a fit state to do so,
No, he's talked for years about his struggles with depression, long before these actions took place and the statement never once tried to use it as an excuse (if you actually bothered to read it properly)
@@robmbms but he was obviously well enough to get his arse out on Snapchat.he has been doing these depraved acts for years. The last 3 yrs at least. The fact that he had mental health issues for years is rather a convenient peg to hang it on.
From someone who's suffers from severe mental health issues, this is a bloody insult. People need to stop using that excuse for their seedy affairs & perverted shenanigans but that's just my pennines worth.
He's struggled with depression for years, long before any of this happened. This is a well known fact. Also, if you read the statement again, you'll see that it never uses mental health as an excuse for his alleged behaviour or even implies it so this is also incorrect. Truth is, we simply don't know the full story yet, the investigation is ongoing and Huw is currently in no position to give his account of things so it's unfair to judge
If it's true, there is zero excuses for a then 58yr old praying on a 17yr old & asking for explicit photos. It's utterly despicable & disgusting. Simple as.
@@karenm8239right…and all my children had Facebook accounts before they entered secondary school yet the minimum age is 13. I’m no expert on dating apps, do they ask for your birth certificate? The fact that is was legal doesn’t excuse how seedy and vile it is, his vast salary is paid out of the publics tv licence fee…THAT disgusts me.
The Sun is the only source to mention the under-18 thing, which has not been verified by anyone else. I'd really take that with a pinch of salt if I were you and wait for the full facts to emerge
1) This won't achieve anything. 2) News UK, which owns TalkTV and GB News, is rumoured to be covering up alleged sexual abuse against minors from one of its own anchors. If this is true, should News UK, and with it all its outlets, also be "closed down forever"?
I personally think Huw Edwards is using the Mental Health excuse as a Get Out Of Fail Card. Depressed or not , Huw Edwards was a seriously powerful influencer who went behind his wife and offspring's back seeking out youngsters for the purpose of satisfying his sexual proclivity. It might not be illegal but it is undesirable . And it offends to think that such a person was put in pole position as a presenter of decorous events. Huw Edwards is no better than a dirty old man in a raincoat. , or a kerb crawler. He knew exactly what he was doing. He wasn't suffering from the brain fog of a depressant.
The mental health card was always going to be played- to get him away from the heat and to give his top lawyers time to work out a strategy going forward.
How is it that the Sun's exclusive report (which didn't even name him) was "shameful irresponsible journalism" - but the BBC's own report on his misconduct was "open, honest, bold and courageous" ? 🤣🤣🤣
There's no excuse for what???? He paid someone for photos (as thousands of people do on sites like OnlyFans), sent some apparently explicit messages to somebody threatening to expose him for being on a dating website, accused of breaking lockdown rules and allegedly sent some suggestive texts to colleagues. Maybe these things make a TV comeback unlikely/unwise, but they don't make him a monster!!!
@@timb9249 you're nothing but a brainwashed clown! He's been sending and receiving sexual photos from persons that are old enough to be his grand children... He's a fkn pervert! Idiot!
Keep your head down ?long anuff bury your head in the sand they think people will forget they got another pervert working ?among them ,fits right in 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
I'm sick of everything like this being blamed on mental health. If he genuinely suffered from severe depression...a crippling disease...he would not be able to get out of bed put on a suit and read the news. He's a sexcase. End of.
Edwards could have spent the 35,000 pounds on taking care of his poor mental health earlier rather than spending it on grubby photos. Citing his poor mental health as a reason for his offending is disgraceful. What does he have to be depressed about? He has so much more than most people.
Wife move is probably the best damage limitation move possible. Garners sympathy, removes husband from contact with public, stops questions on family. Tells us she knows about underlying problems.
Looks to me like a careless Narcissist got caught with “his pants down” in front of the whole world and can’t take the heat. A disturbing and shameful situation for all concerned who are having to deal with the fallout. With that being said, I am tolerant and understanding of those who are capable of taking responsibility to make things right.
have severe depression since I’m 28 years. I’m working full time with breaks when it hits me. Do you think me or my fellow in patients get a pass? The statement was unfortunate, this should be only at the end like “my husband is currently in treatments and will answer questions when he is better”. They should sack their lawyer if they didn’t realize that one has nothing to do with the other !!!
I pay my license fee, therefore, I'm paying towards him to pay for the photos (if true) via the BBC. I'm not happy about that at all, nothing to do with if it's a crime or not
This whole incident is a tragedy for Huw and his family and also for the young people who Huw is alleged to have threatened. We don't yet know the full circumstances and anyone who jumps to conclusions now is an idiot. I wish Huw a steady recovery and hope that, in time, he will be able to give his side of the story. I also hope the victims involved in this case are able to find closure from this traumatic ordeal and move on
The best comment I've heard on the BBC holding an enquiry was that the only thing they're enquiring into is whether they'll be able to get away with hushing it up.
His poor wife must be completely devastated and so badly hurt. He obviously never once gave her, or his children, a second thought before committing these acts. That to me, makes him a flaming monster.
A private hospital is like a luxury hotel without locks on the bedroom doors. All have en-suites. Meals are first class. Most have health facilities including swimming pools. There are security guards patrolling the perimeter. There are swipe cards or keypads for entry into the main buildings. Unless someone has been sectioned patients can roam. Particularly at night between rooms. Most will have been given some drugs for depression or as alcohol alternatives. Most will be a little high. Check out private hospitals like The Priory. Holiday camps for the disgraced celebrities.
You’d never get in a NHS hospital just for depression. Not even if suicidal - lorazepam & a daily visit from a CPN is the best you can hope for from A&E. The shock of being found out is what he’s suffering from. The luxury of the Priory is the perfect place to get over yourself
Is his wife complicit with his behaviour?? It is pretty odd that she supported him by putting out a statement when he betrayed her & breached his wedding vows. Very odd indeed.
His wife didn't suggest that his mental health problem is an excuse for what he's done, she said that he has pre-existing mental health problems and the publication and handling of the allegations against him have triggered a serious episode. She was very clear that he wanted to address the issues himself when he was in a position to do so.
And so? I have severe depression since I’m 28 years. Do you think me or my fellow in patients get a pass? The statement was unfortunate, this should be only at the end like “my husband is currently in treatments and will answer questions when he is better”. They should sack their lawyer.
@@katjaxxx7353 I also suffer from severe depression & anxiety and I'm not suggesting he should get a pass. Equally, I know that if I had such sensitive areas of my private life exposed publicly (whether deservedly or not) I expect I would have a mental breakdown and feel suicidal. The logical reason for the information being at the start of the statement is that it explains why Huw Edwards's wife is making the statement opposed to Edwards making it himself.
His behavior cannot be excused. I know about mental health issues and believe me if everyone with depression in the Uk acted like this the country would be full of creeps! He is being coddled because of his position of respect. It mightn’t be illegal but it’s unacceptable and inappropriate and he doesn’t deserve the respect he’s always been given. I’m not hearing anything about his ‘victims’ here, but isn’t this always the case. I’m sorry but he’s playing the mental health card because he’s running scared!
The time for allowing the BBC to investigate itself and be judge, jury & executioner should now be over. They've already proven on multiple occasions now that they are incapable of change or cleaning house. A referendum on the license fee would be good too. Let the funding-public decide the fate of the BBC.
Why don't these people ever learn? Don't screw the crew. How very convenient that Huw Edwards has sought solace in a mental health unit, away from people asking very awkward questions.
Mental health is used all too freely nowadays,he,s been found out for having a dirty disgusting desire outside of his marriage,so now it's mental health,gods sake we can all have mental health problems but we don't go down his route to try solve the problem,when will this health problem stop being used as an excuse for behaviour.
Having suffered from severe depression on and off for the last 20 years im well versed in how it manifests itself and how it can make you feel and think about yourself and others around you and normally 1 of the 1st things to suffer is your labido,i personally think this is more a case of trying to run from the sordid and depraved truth.
Been feeling this today so glad that what seems lik alot have this view !!! Mental health is being used in all sectors at the moment to get out of behaviour which is unacceptable
All these headlines just places it bang in the face of many young people who will transcribe this as the norm a shirt lifter is always a shirt lifter always media are just glorifying this type of behaviour and power trip call a doctor
Same with itv over phill Schofield! All thats been brushed under the rug now n this mornings still on air!! Pathetic! Bbc will be the same, saving one of their own!
Imagine if I an ordinary woman waltzed down to the shop in my little village with my bum exposed, all the neighbors would treat me with the respect we all share , when I emerge in my full garb next morning, Ye Right, I don't think so , the phones would be ringing and the men in white coats on their way , I would have to sell up and shift my bare butt out of town pronto .Huw Boy could always go live with Andy Pandy in that big house he doesn't want to leave.
Crimes against kids should be handled by the police immediately to bring the criminals to Justice .BBC staff should be held accountable for covering up the crimes
Where is Dan Wootton over at GBNews Mr Murdoch? He usually relishes these kinds of stories about power abuse, sexual harassment, bullying etc. I hope he's alright.
And low and behold the BBC will find him not guilty, just like Jimmy savile, do all BBC workers have to sign a oath o f allegiance before they are accepted on the workforce
Would his mental health be ok if any allegations hadn’t been made against him or would it be business as usual? Or are they making out his mental issues were the cause of his behaviour ? And the parents of the 17 yr old that was apparently paid ‘did they not notice how much money their son had ? He became a drug addict and they didn’t notice anything 🤷♀️
What offends me more than this, a boy 17? £35k is the girls who were raped and groomed, and allegedly still going on. But meanwhile some celeb of a presenter, who I have never watched gets raked over by the media, as was Prince Andrew. What they did was 'not desirable' but it wasn't illegal either. Spare time and effort for those truly hurt by predatory sexual behaviours.
You just said it, no one said he actually did anything wrong. You jusyt said monkey business which you have already thrown him under the boss and didn't even acknowledge his previous mental health.
The BBC have a high-handed attitude perhaps? If you have a company with thousands of people some of whom could be open to attempted blackmail, surely you would have something to look into it rapidly and avoid further/future distress or scandal. H.E has a direct complaint made about him and yet they didn't tell him or the boss? Even if it were a false claim or a go at blackmail/sting would you not want answers, some confirmation?
About 60% of people in American prisons today have a diglagnosable mental illness. I agree with this assesent. Going off the deep end because you got caught does not give yoh a get out of jail free card for any consequences for doing whatever he did.
This pedephile could have got help had he wanted help but he elected not to. Now he’s been caught he all of a sudden has a problem with mental health. He should be charged and don’t feel sorry for him one bit. I feel sorry for the victims and his family 🇨🇦
The focus should primarily be on the victims and the mental health issues created by the perpetrator's behaviour - when victims are violated, betrayed, abused, or taken advantage of, the consequences on their mental health can be devastating. They often face a range of emotional and psychological challenges that can last a lifetime. Traumatic experiences like these can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety disorders, depression, trust issues, self-esteem problems, and even substance abuse. It is crucial not to overlook the lasting impact on the lives of the victims. While it is understandable that the perpetrator's family may also suffer, it is essential to prioritize the needs of the survivors and provide them with the support and resources necessary for their healing and recovery.
For God sake leave the man alone, he has not commuted any crime, he is guilty, of poor judgment, the guy was not a child, he was not a youngster h was a consenting person over the age of consent which is 16 in the UK
The depression claim is a smokescreen - he’s been caught out and his life is ruined so of course he’s a bit fed-up!
He's obviously ashamed now. Hidden away to let the dust settle. PR spin won't change what he's done. The Cats out. They're exposed in the cover up now. The left are trying to whitewash it.

The mental health card was always going to be played- to get him away from the heat and to give his top lawyers time to work out a strategy going forward.
The age is a bit near the mark. If he was 15 or so I bet huw wouldn’t of cared. Anyone who pays 35 grand has a guilty conscience in my opinion

Defund the BBC and renationalise the post office and put all licence fees into the post office as stakeholder British public investment 🇬🇧👍
I would have depression if i did what he did. Huw Evans should never be on the BBC again. I would never watch him again. But they never learn
Where is Dan Wootton over at GBNews Mr Murdoch? He usually relishes these kinds of stories about power abuse, sexual harassment, bullying etc. I hope he's alright.
And low and behold the BBC will find him not guilty, just like Jimmy savile, do all BBC workers have to sign a oath o f allegiance before they are accepted on the workforce
try to find any news on Huw Edwards over the last month
Would his mental health be ok if any allegations hadn’t been made against him or would it be business as usual?
Or are they making out his mental issues were the cause of his behaviour ?
And the parents of the 17 yr old that was apparently paid ‘did they not notice how much money their son had ? He became a drug addict and they didn’t notice anything 🤷♀️
Anyone can break news, ffs!!!
He was well enough last night to like a tweet condemning the sun's handling of his behaviour 🤔
What offends me more than this, a boy 17? £35k is the girls who were raped and groomed, and allegedly still going on. But meanwhile some celeb of a presenter, who I have never watched gets raked over by the media, as was Prince Andrew. What they did was 'not desirable' but it wasn't illegal either. Spare time and effort for those truly hurt by predatory sexual behaviours.
I aware she didn’t breathe in all that
BBC cover up seems the presenters in British media have a thing for young lads be it Caroline Flack Philp Scholfield or Huw Edwards
You just said it, no one said he actually did anything wrong. You jusyt said monkey business which you have already thrown him under the boss and didn't even acknowledge his previous mental health.
Its very offensive he did a Kevin Spacey...lots of women are attracted to men...but NOT boys.
Hmm?? The feeding frenzy begins
The BBC have a high-handed attitude perhaps?
If you have a company with thousands of people some of whom could be open to attempted blackmail, surely you would have something to look into it rapidly and avoid further/future distress or scandal. H.E has a direct complaint made about him and yet they didn't tell him or the boss? Even if it were a false claim or a go at blackmail/sting would you not want answers, some confirmation?
Ye olde "mental health excuse, works EVERYTIME!!!!! "It was good while it lasted" Jingle jangle
Trusted broadcasters what year is she in its not 1950 anymore if it doesn't come out of a I phone don't trust the news.
About 60% of people in American prisons today have a diglagnosable mental illness. I agree with this assesent. Going off the deep end because you got caught does not give yoh a get out of jail free card for any consequences for doing whatever he did.
This pedephile could have got help had he wanted help but he elected not to. Now he’s been caught he all of a sudden has a problem with mental health. He should be charged and don’t feel sorry for him one bit. I feel sorry for the victims and his family 🇨🇦
Chill out
Ian,s the reason I'm a insomniac back when he was on talk sport with Miff Daniels. 1 o'clock till 4. Not blaming him of course just saying.
The focus should primarily be on the victims and the mental health issues created by the perpetrator's behaviour - when victims are violated, betrayed, abused, or taken advantage of, the consequences on their mental health can be devastating. They often face a range of emotional and psychological challenges that can last a lifetime. Traumatic experiences like these can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety disorders, depression, trust issues, self-esteem problems, and even substance abuse.
It is crucial not to overlook the lasting impact on the lives of the victims. While it is understandable that the perpetrator's family may also suffer, it is essential to prioritize the needs of the survivors and provide them with the support and resources necessary for their healing and recovery.
This is what happens when you idolise a mere human. Never fail to disappoint so fake- but hey ho hes getting the help HE needs ...
For God sake leave the man alone, he has not commuted any crime, he is guilty, of poor judgment, the guy was not a child, he was not a youngster h was a consenting person over the age of consent which is 16 in the UK
'god' 🤣👍
Peado defender 🤮
Idiotic comment
