Views on the BBC approach to protecting their media star?

What's musk got to do with the BBC?

. Defending them blindly because it suits your political agenda is as bad as having a go at them blindly because of your political agenda.

Except we're not blind, the police and the protagonists have spoken. Some people are choosing to ignore it because they're fecking Sherlock Holmes, or don't want to "be suckered" or because it suits them to pop at the Beeb. Yeah of course there may be more to be revealed but until we know ...

Most companies have a social media policy, putting explicit pictures onto the internet that brings the company into disrepute is a fairly straightforward sacking, even if you do have mental health issues. In any company I've ever worked at the investigation would be done in 48hrs and you'd be sacked (with an option to appeal), the BBC taking weeks to do anything at all, particularly given their nonce ratio, is worthy of a raised eyebrow, even if you're a lefty McLefty leftist.

The left being aligned with stonewall and the misinformation they spread in schools about gender, it's no surprise when they come out to defend questionable sexual conduct.

Not Tina Turner's best song.

I would be pleased to see Musk disrupting the energy market in a good way, but I honestly don't see how he will. Tesla and SpaceX are disruptive 'cause they fill/create a niche which didn't exist before. If he's just doing A.N.Other supplier not sure what he can do.

It looks like it's all linked to Teslas and Powerwalls, supplying/selling electricity + offering free overnight charging and then drawing juice to sell into the grid from the distributed battery storage network in return, a 'virtual power plant' (which will need a generation licence).

Seems logical. They've done something similar in Texas.

Well the Met have concluded no laws were broken and washed their hands of it now. Turns out there is a growing support for Edwards and a faster growing disdain for both the BBC and The Sun. So maybe alls well that ends well!

Was the Mets conclusion that no laws were broken, based on not being able to actually investigate Huw thoroughly because the lad denied anything happened ?

They didn't mention whether he has been interviewed yet, but i'm, guessing they would have spoken to him? But maybe just checking the other parties details and bank statements was enough to conclude?

That's what I mean, can they even go that far if the last says nowt happened?

Apparently, not one person but five were involved! So I guess if he was going down the illegal route, at least one of them would have showed that?

I imagine it would hinge on whether or not there actually were any photographs exchanged with a 17 year old. It is entirely possible someone like that would know the law a damned site better than most of us and there never were any "under age" pictures.

The young mans mother most likely conflated two factual events that did not actually occur simultaneously: contacted my 17 year old son, swapped nude pictures.

Wow, it's like Colombo and Miss Marple in here. Hard to spot the sleuth who smells -most- of piss to be honest.

Yeah, yeah - head in the sand - you crack on with your conjecture though.

Tis a fair point!

I mean you're probably right - but if we're at the point where we've looked at the evidence, and previous opinion and conjecture can't be supported, and we now have to 'imagine' a scenario that hasn't happened in order to justify our own shitty reaction, then, well

Since when has being a perv been a mental health issue?
Good to see all those other media types offering him support. Maybe he needed less ego and a better moral compass

Unless he's just a fall guy covering up for the real perp...

Don't tell me Yentob threw him under the bus!

LOL it's all a bit like playing Cluedo. It was x, with the y in the z (and covered up by the Met).

No? Well it was z, with the Met, in the x (and made up by the Sun).

No? Well it was....ad nauseum.

FFS grandad, aren't you even watching the news? Men are women now, looting is how you conduct a political protest, criminals are the real victims.

You need to get woke or none of that will make sense!

Quite. Apparently, it's well documented and known that he has suffered from severe depression in recent years. But, that doesn't turn him predatory. I think any man (or woman) in their late 50s trying to get sexual with a teenager of any sex and pay for designed explicit photos is predatory. But, if its teenagers of a legal age then it's not illegal and as they weren't employees of the BBC, I'm not sure its anyone's business but Huw's and his family and of course the teenagers?

I am not suggesting he has done anything illegal. Just pointing out that blaming his predatory behaviour on mental illness is both convenient and a bit belittling of those who have mental health issues - and aren't trying to hide. This may not be the case - I know he has talked a lot about depression in the past ( I also think a man on 500K a year is in good place to get the best help).
However blaming the BBC for not supporting him is a little ripe. The behaviour that has got him into this place is his own - not the corporation, not the Sun.
And then there is the BBC , who reported endlessly, and smugly about Schofield - because it was great to have a pop at Itv. (also ironic that the under pressure Martin Frizzell, boss of Good Morning, announces his wife's early onset dementia when the heat is on him. The diagnose that she had 1 years ago)

The press are scummy with no morals - but then the people running the media , and the stars are swimming in the same soup.
