O/T Huw Edwards

[Geetarman]

I suspect that he has had better days in his life.

Being such a high profile figure can sometimes mean all the focus comes at a heavier price, ala Philip Schofield.

Amazingly, Edwards is now in a hospital with ''serious mental health issues'' in other words he's been outed.

The Met Police have already said he will not face any Police action. The damage has been done and his career is probably well and truly over along with his marriage.

As with us most of us who are employed.he has brought the corporation into disrepute.and should fall on his sword for it.

This is the bit that gives serious concern.
The Met Police aren’t known for being competent

Similarly some other Police forces haven’t exactly instilled confidence when protecting children against exploitation

Can the CPS still step in and lay charges even though the Police say there's nothing there? Already stinks of a cover up.....people in high places as they say. Hush hush, brush it under the carpet. Reminds me of the day when Frank Bough was caught with his pants down!

It didn't stop him getting back into presenting though as he later worked for London Weekend Television, ITV, SKY and on LBC radio in London.
Just can't see Edwards presenting Calendar though.

The lads solicitors said there was nothing illegal,it’s his family that’s brought it up.

I thought the lad was 17 when the alleged payments were first being paid? If that's the case then it's against the law (CSE) as the man was a junior at 17 when it all started. Might be wrong on the dates but sure I read it somewhere he was under adult age when payments were offered and taken.

I get the parents involvement though bringing down a high profile name. If the stories of their young lad turning to heroin are true you have to wonder if the payments didn't fuel his need?

Cover-up? Tricky one, shall we believe the two Police Forces who have said that nothing illegal took place, or some know-it-all on MillersMad?

Still think the 'Corporation' is run by the Government, or Auntie as she's affectionately known.

No probably about it. He was the face of the BEEB, the anchor. The guy that you saw every day. Strange story.
