This Just In!

What I think is your story, while interesting, has nothing to do with Huw Edwards.

Both are examples of the scum industry which you seek to defend with utter nonsense.

Give over, Edwards only took to his bed because he was found out.

That's disgusting.

The guy has a well publicised and long history of severe depression.

You may find it disgusting, but it's obviously true.

Had the story not been published, or were it complete rubbish, I very much doubt there would have been a 'mental health episode'.

Instead, Edwards would have taken great delight in taking The Sun to the cleaners bigstyle, cheered on by all the haters and his many fans.

Heck, with Murdoch's track record he might even have been able to get the paper closed.

Trial by scum journalism.

They encouraged Brexit on the back of Britain being a proud democratic nation. Let us not forget what they have done and what they do.

No it isn't.

Anyone waking up to find themselves on the front of The Sun in these circumstances is bound to have an adverse reaction to it.

Moral of the story is if you don't want to be in The Sun, don't mess around on sordid websites or abuse colleagues.

You preaching morals - I just nearly died choking.

Morality police rather that the legal frame work

Personal insults will only impress the hard of thinking.

Do you think Edwards should be able to do anything provided he breaks no law?

If so, fine, but it appears many people think a man in his position should hold himself to a higher standard.

From what I'm reading here, the hard of thinking are not on the thread, present company excepted of course.

Pretty much yes, what he, you or I do in our private lives isn’t anyone’s business, as long as no laws are broken.

I tend to agree, but if he's being realistic, Edwards ought to realise his public persona should more or less match his private one.

How very tabloidy of you, ‘sordid websites’. I understand it was a gay dating app that he used, is that what you mean?

Bolleaux, because for example there are those puritanical numpties who object to even knowing that their kid's teacher just so happens to be gay.

We had gay teachers even when I was at school more than 50 years ago. OK it caused a certain amount of merriment, but no teacher to my knowledge suffered homophobic abuse at school, and there were no bands of placard waving furious parents.

I don't think you need to be 'tabloidy' to find it sordid an older man is using the web to buy pics of naked or semi-naked teenagers.

Please don't tell me this married father was only seeking his one true love.

Bolleaux,

The truth of my statement is illustrated by the reaction to the story.

You think Edwards has been badly done to which is fine, but you also need to accept plenty of others do not share that view.

He's paid (was paid) £440,000 a year because the nation trusts him, apparently. I guess the trust factor may be reduced now.
