What an awful post. Edwards has had severe depression. The newspaper knew this. If Edwards' "severe depression" turns out to be what caused him, allegedly, to groom this 17-year-old, turn them into a crack addict, estrange them from their parents and generally fuck up their life, then I might be sympathetic. Until then, it is totally irrelevant. In the meantime my sympathies lie more with the teenager's parents at the moment, speaking as a parent myself. Another thought: if he was as severely depressed as you say, why did the BBC allow him to remain in such as stressful and high-profile position within their organisation? Why did they not put him on sick leave, ensure he was given proper treatment for his illness, grant him early retirement (with, no doubt, an extremely respectable pension) if his condition prevented him being able to function as a role model and maintain the good reputation of the BBC? The newspaper was probably wondering this as well.

At the moment Bylinetimes has its fingers in another potentially similar scandal - this time it's about a GB News presenter. The material he gathered was meant as collection of Kompromat to be used later.
I'm looking forward for other media telling us more about it. And I am thrilled to see whether someone starts a thread and whether it will gain the same length.

Why would a story about one of their presenters garner anywhere near as much interest as one of the most well kent faces on the national broadcaster? Edit: unless it’s Farage or JRM! That would be a big’un! Not because they’re GB News presenters.

Whatever the scandal (or not) around the GB News presenter, the reason why it won't gain anything even close to the same traction as the Huw Edwards scandal is because hardly anybody watches GB news, chances are we've never heard of the presenter, and GB News isn't the national broadcaster whose upkeep every household with a TV set has to pay £159 per year towards. You are trying to find bias by looking for equivalences that simply don't exist.
Still, I have no doubt that if the scandal ever does come out, you'll be posting a thread about it and singlehandedly maintaining it for years to come! In an effort to restore balance, of course.

The newspaper was probably wondering this as well. 1. There's no evidence to suggest there was any grooming. No evidence at all to suggest any illegal activity whatsoever.
2. Large corporations have extreme due diligence and mental health strategies. They'd preumably have spoken to him to ask if the pressure was too much. He loved his job by alla ccounst so I'd expect him to have wanted to be in it rather than not be in it.
Your cynicism of someone's mental health while that person lays as an impatient in a mental health ward shows you for the utter scumbag you are.

The freedom I have to state my honest opinion, and the reasoning behind it, as plainly and honestly as I am able to supersedes your ignorant and narrow-minded assessment of my character when I do so, so I would suggest you save your pathetic little personal remarks for somebody who actually cares what you think about them.

As with the Sun though, reading that post makes it clear that the real target is the BBC and not the presenter.

The BBC got a serious complaint about one of their highest profile presenters and appear just to have sat on it without doing anything. Didn't they learn anything after the Jimmy Savile debacle? If you or I did anything that brought our reputation, and by association the reputation of the organisation we work for, into disrepute then we'd probably be sacked. That doesn't seem to happen with the BBC and its untouchable high-profile personalities. Perhaps this should start to change.

That doesn't seem to happen with the BBC and its untouchable high-profile personalities. Perhaps this should start to change. As far as I can tell he has done nothing wrong, the police has said there is no case to answer and the adult involved has made it clear that he/she considers the whole thing bullshit and something being stirred up by his or her estranged parents. If the BBC says he has done nothing wrong you will scream, if they say he has you will scream that they took too long, if they do it too quick they are accused of a whitewash. Seems whatever they do there will be the anti Beeb crowd like yourself and Murdoch you just use these things as a way of attacking the organisation and everyone else involved is just cannon fodder in a battle of ideological hatred of a state owned broadcaster. The one and only thing that would interest me in the whole sorry affair is whether the Sun paid for the story.
