It basically makes multiple allegations about his private life. My jaw was left a little lower with each claim in the email. Saying anything further would be too specific, but that's the gist of how it's been covered by media outlets. Big Gideon's Big Wallet would no doubt take anyone to the cleaners who dared to publish anything more specific without being able to prove it - and even then I think they'd struggle to argue there's a public interest in publishing (as I think The Sun will with this BBC stuff, though they'll no doubt try and make the flimsy and scummy argument that well-paid BBC presenters are fair game because they're using taxpayers' money to fund whatever they're doing in their private life). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds Fox Posted 13 July 2023 Share Posted 13 July 2023 12 hours ago, ARTY_FOX said: Hard to speculate really what's gone on because we don't really know. Some jobs an affair is sackable, the military for instance. Not that the BBC should if all it was - at worst - was an affair. Yeah if you’re shagging your colleagues wife/husband, and even then probably not an sackable offence (24hr posting to the back and beyond more likely). Otherwise it’s not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dames Posted 13 July 2023 Share Posted 13 July 2023 The same people that are taking the moral high ground over what Huw Edwards has done are the ones that defend Boris Johnson to the death despite knowing everything he's done to ex wives.

Thanks for the elaboration. Osborne may be a sociopath and/or in hock with sociopaths, but he is both rich and not stupid, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but that doesn't appear to be what happened. It seems that the mother exaggerated that part and despite seeing the same evidence that the police saw and said there was no crime, the Sun just ran with it anyway.

Now, that might still be a yes to you I don't know. But like I said in an earlier post, given that "Teen" is one of the biggest and most profitable categories of pornography globally, I dare say that's a fvcking lot of dirty pervs in the world. I have a sneaking suspicion there wouldn't have been a story at all if the content creator was female but that's just my unfounded cynicism.

I mean, for what it's worth, I do think it's somewhat creepy being a 50/60 year old and having a sexual fascination with 19/20 year olds. And he could have been on pornhub getting his rocks off anonymously and nobody would care but OnlyFans is succesful because of the personal connection "fans" feel like they get from creators, so it is somewhat uncomfortable. But no more uncomfortable than the countless celebrities, musicians, politicians, billionaires etc who are well in to middle age trotting round hand in hand with student-aged eye candy. Eh, Leo?

I would probably got with yes on that and especially for a 60 year old bloke eyeing up people sexually old enough to be their grandchildren but that’s another discussion but is there not more than that though? Cause I keep seeing this geezers arse all over twitter so there was clearly some form of communication back and forth? I think for someone like Huw Edwards who’s quite widely respected and very much the voice of a lot of peoples daily intake for news, it would’ve been a story regardless. Especially with the family angle, it’s probably be more sensationalised because he’s closeted though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
