The stench of homophobia hanging around this story is vile.
All today’s newspaper front pages (except The Star that ran something about Klingons travelling to Mars?) decided this is the biggest thing going on in the cuntry today. Meanwhile, Bank of England tells us that 1 million households will be paying an additional £500 a month on their mortgages and that it’s ok because the banks will be able to deal with all the defaults on payments.
There’s no suggestion that he abused his position in the BBC over younger colleagues, is there? Or are you suggesting that any relationship between an older and younger person is immoral in some way?
The Sun… that virtuous newspaper that used to pay 16 year old girls to leave school so they could pose naked for Page 3… made it clear this was a male “star” and a boy. It’s a re-run of the Phillip Scofield nonsense. This wouldn’t be front page of all the papers and radio stations if it was an older man and a teenage young woman. Sure, they’ll be some coverage but not as much as this homophobic stuff
“Supported” isn’t correct (certainly not in the way that the Daily Mail supported Hitler and Moseley). The Manchester Guardian’s founder, John Taylor, drew on cotton investments based on slavery. This happened 200 years ago.
People working at The Sun today have been involved in Page 3. Topless pics in The Sun ended 8 years ago.
So the Guardian founder was actively involved in the slave trade? And the Guardian has benefitted directly from his involvement in slavery? All while painting themselves as bastions of morality?
Not sure why I’m trying to defend The Guardian - which I actually think is not much better than the rest of the media (I do hope you support reparations to the descendants of the enslaved seeing that you are rightly appalled at common British investments a couple of centuries ago).
I do think that trying to defend smutty pics of teens as tame while getting worked up about Huw Edwards allegedly paying for smutty pics of teens is contradictory, though.

This cuntry has lost the plot!
I’m not sure its homophobia, but people are noticing ANOTHER BBC presenter taking advantage of their position of power.
There’s no suggestion that he abused his position in the BBC over younger colleagues, is there? Or are you suggesting that any relationship between an older and younger person is immoral in some way?
There is:

There are also accusations of inappropriate behaviour to BBC staff:

We’ll see. At the start of the week the allegations surrounding the story were that this was a “youngster” and that Edwards had acted illegally.
Meanwhile… the UK economy is collapsing and the media’s barely covering it.
Hysteria
You what? Was there a new twist I missed?

The Guardian supported slavery. What’s your point? I don’t think any of the people working there now were involved with that.

Makes topless photos seem kind of tame.
