Maybe not one knew this but seems they even had proof he was harassing young men who worked there at least and still he was seen as appropriate, makes you really wonder what dark stuff the top of BBC are hiding and if they are protecting and rewarding each other.
Well said...and what was the long walk into the court taking up looked like 6 police officers....time....his arrogance is despicable....defund bbc now...
To think he was getting help for his mental health. How are the children he was watching being abused , metal health. He should go to prison. By watching these vile photos and videos, he is responsible for their torture.
To lump the criminal activity of pedophilia under the category of “I have mental health issues” sickens me. Many of us suffer with mental health issues, but we don’t abuse children.
Well I think anyone caught with what he was caught doing is liable to suffer a meltdown but not under what they reported it as. Hiding away from the world and for good reason
But he certainly needs to be sued to recoup any salary he was paid during the time this investigation began. He was making nearly $1 million US (he had been given a raise for his coverage of the Queen's death).
In reality....when people know what's going on in the B.B.C. & they still pay the license fee....they are actualy financing the sexual abuse of children & various forms of degeneracy.
@@lynnedavies5884That’s what worries me too , can you just stop ( tbh I can’t stand TV and would rather do anything than sit watching dated programs and rubbish) At 79 yrs old I’m sick of it, however him inside is a TVaddict…so probably not much hope so just keep paying towards extortionate wages for scumbags hiding inside the BBC.
When I was in the CID we were allocated these jobs to investigate. To be honest I avoided them like the plague. They are easy to prove as long as you have clear attribution. The evidence in the Edwards case was very clear hence the early guilty plea. Remove the child abuse out of the case but consider the fact that the images have to be viewed and graded. In my day it used to be 1-5 with 5 being the worst. It's changed now to A- C. The police officer has to view those images. I have seen terrible, horrific images that have stayed with me even now. They mentally scar you.
@@jjefferyworboys8138 I believe there are a raft of people that knew, therefore condoned and at least were tacitly complicit. Most likely involved in covering up what is a high crime. I think aiding and abetting falls under the Accessories and Abettors Act of 1861. Nothing is happening in a vacuum. This gives cause to search. If the foxes aren’t charged with guarding the hen house, and they may likely be, this crime will have tentacles that are far reaching. Finding the bakers is of utmost importance not just the gluttons.
What made this once soo respected Huw Edwards to a predator of such young children!? But,... please, dont focus only on Huw Edwards, because he is the one who has been CAUGHT ❗☝️
So was Jimmy Saville, the corrupt BBC covered for him for years, as he was bringing in the ratings and money. Then, liar Keir Starmer never properly investigated him as he died and got away with it.
You could well imagine memos flying around in the BBC for all staff to be more discrete in these sort of activities. They must be wondering that even in the safe protected unaccountability of the BBC at some stage that perpetual money trough might drain away, though unlikely with the current government.
@user-jh2dn2zu4p I always knew there wasn't something quite right about Huw Edwards. He always had a face like a smacked backside, I felt exactly the same about Jimmy Saville. In fact, the pair of them always gave me the creeps, there is a few others on the corrupt BBC that I'm uneasy about as well, but we'll see. I think the corrupt BBC has more to come with their dodgy overpaid and overrated staff. It's disgusting that they cover for them.
.. nobody is 'born that way' so as to mitigate moral responsibility. It is a decision and a choice that a person makes and pursues and keeps practicing. With your theory you could excuse any atrocity when simply selfish desire and wickedness is the real issue.
Yes, the Director General ought to resign, or better still, get the sack. He was in charge during this fiasco, and once again, the BBC is in trouble, and has to answer serious questions as to how Tax Payers money is being used.
The BBC may also have become involved in very expensive legal proceedings amounting to far in excess of the monies they have paid to Edwards had they acted prematurely. Employment law is a minefield and tends to favour the employee.
People in high positions in the Establishment are involved in this unsavoury behaviour and always have been. They`ll continue to protect like-minded people.
The BBC needs to independently investigate ASAP there have been to many of these incendents over the years, how high does the go? Look at what they have done to Doctor Who, grooming the next generation. No new laws to protect children but more to silence parents, says it all.
BBC can't force people to pay for unlawful license They have no power to do so, and people MUST NOT pay for the unlawful payments, BBC HAS GOT AWAY WITH CRIMES FAR TO LONG, THEY SHOULD PAY BACK PAYMENTS TO LICENSES. AND STOP THEIR UNLAWFUL DEMANDS AND THREATS FOR PUBLIC MONEY THEY ARE RUN BY CON- SERVATIVES GANGSTERS THIEVES !!!
Yes her and Sopel. They should never work again. They didn't say innocent until proven guilty and I find it hard to believe of my friend, they leapt to his defence saying he was innocent and a victim of a tabloid witch hunt.
Why is it, you want to talk about maybe new laws to tackle this type of behaviour. Point out legislation that's passed in Louisiana, but no, comment deleted. You literally can't have a normal conversation or debate on a subject. Absolutely pathetic.
When people do this sort of thing...they love themselves first. He was an intelligent and educated man and talented top broadcaster. All of a sudden hes mentally ill. Thats just an excuse for his deviant reasons for targeting innocent kids. Nothing will stop people like this...not even jail. Its locked into their minds. They take it everywhere ...dont call it a sickness as that diminishes people with genuine mental and physical health problems. There are some behaviours that are pure evil and they know its wrong, but love themselves too much to stop.
Seriously why do people pay for a BBC tv licence??? I’ve not paid it for 15 years and I won’t ever again. Ignore any communication from them, what are people afraid of….?
Come on - if you haven't already then cancel and give up broadcast TV. I promise you won't miss it. If the Mrs starts on about 'im a celebrity '. Put your foot down 😆.
Yes Saville off and also stopped a migrant rapist being deported thats who we have ruining our countryWe are watching you Starmer so do your job and get deporting all illegals and foreign criminals from our country😡😡
I think you could legitimately not pay the license fee now. I’m not sure they could really take any action. I would like a refund for my last three years because I’m not paying the wages of a nonce
He has five now adult children and I shudder to think what's going on in their family. What a vile creature he must've been, so close to his own children when they were little. I feel sick when I think about this aspect of his nature. We don't know what the most trusted people might be doing behind the closed doors. This is the end of children sleepover parties, I think. I would have trusted Edwards to be near my children as it would have not even crossed my mind that he might've been a peadophile! Trust no one.
Go away Alex, sign on at the jobcentre and look for a new job! Your days are over!! We are on the last stretches of talk TV and gbn as well!! Go away 😊!!!
This the same man who director who turned Dr Who into a woman and then a gay man, rather than explore these things in a creation of his own, instead of fundamentally changing the creation of another person.
