- "To have this person come into your home but also to know that you’re paying that person is understandably extremely shocking."
People often feel "morally scolded" by the BBC so the Huw Edwards scandal feels like a complete "betrayal" of trust, says Compact Columnist and sociologist Ashley Frawley.

I am 64 year's old grandfather this man has five children and maybe have grandchildren he is not just a evil creature how can he do this to his family
Why did he walk such a distance showing his lifted face surrounded by police he almost looked as though he was proud of himself even normalising it
Totally. He is a narcisst - they refuse accountability
Wearing glasses to hide the anger in his eyes at being caught.
Vile creature.
Or the behaviour of an entitled arrogant contemptuous narcisst
I disagree I think the shades are an attempt to hide his shame and fear he will get a rough ride in prison
Stop with the "very young" euphemism - they are CHILDREN.
Sickening isn't it, they are desperate to normalise such vile practices.
I do wish that more journalists would look into the issue of boomer men who fly over to Thailand 3 timers a year to hang out with the street kids as its all covered up
A good point, but is there a journalist who has looked into the grooming gangs in THIS country?
And the many who move there.
When I holidayed in Thailand I was shocked at the amount of Englishmen holding hands with Thai children. It made me sick!
@@Bluepillphil-d1wimplying that anyone who lives in Asia is there for perverse reasons is wrong. Some yes...all? Simply not true.
@@hmao4466 of course. It would be pretty weird if they all were. But it’s instinctive to suspect because of the connotations attached.
It creeped me out when he covered April Jones disapearence in Wales now I know why Edwards seemed off because hes a bit of a wrongen and unwell
I don't feel great about paying ,by means of my license fee, his astronomic salary for months after he was ousted! Heads need to roll ! The BBC is supported by public money! The whole thing smacks of Mr Fix It!
Haven't paid it for about 15 years now. No law that makes you pay it, just the empty threat 😂
@@cawstongreenway Up to you. I prefer to live within the law myself. The point is that running a national TV service costs money. Because you’re not paying it means that I and thousands of others have to pay more. Whatever: I should not have to pay for his four months salary. That was my point.
@@artbargestudio it's not breaking the law though.
@@cawstongreenway Only if you're using it....not much worth watching anyway in my opinion.
I bet there's alot more people behind the TV screens that's involved in this type of behaviour ..tip of the iceberg my friends !
Without a doubt, it seems to be a requirement.
Maybe interview Emily Matliss about her comment that The Sun should compensate Edwards for their journalism.Or Owen Jones about his "sympathies" for Edwards about the allegations made against him.
Oh no they are so righteous, their comments will be forgotten with the aid of mainstream media and no doubt they'll find someone on the 'far right' to blame!!!
@@heathercooper6043the far right and far left are equally as bad as each other.
Not only Jones. Peter Tatchell, the 'gay' rights advocate, also spoke up for him, but that's not surprising considering Tatchell's support for adult-child sex in the past.
Owen Jones is still droning on about foreign wars but has absolutely nothing to say about Huw Edwards. Funny that 🤔
Do want to be in my gang, my gang, my gang?
He should be forced to pay back every penny of his salary. He will get a poultry sentence and retire on his millions.
A poultry sentence, eh? Is that one where the convict gets to look after the chickens?
To a point yes... But be sure his wife's divorce lawyer will carve a nice slice of that and he's not a young man so the likelihood of a deeply isolated end to his life, possibly with zero family or friends is chilling (if not completely his own fault).
Owen Jones and Jon sopel defended edwards big time..I wounder how they feel now
They need to as well investigate who knows what groups they are part of.
@@perryvalton3296💯
This man was in possession of Class A (Which is the very worst type of CSEM) materials and yet the BBC only stopped paying him his 400k three months ago? Amazing.
If you were accused of a crime but not yet convicted do you think it’s fair your job should treat you as if you have been convicted? Bizarre world view mate
The British love paying for high profile pedophiles & wrong uns. Saville, Glitter, Royalty, Harris and now this man. It's beginning to look like interfering with your children is a national pastime in the UK.
And the BBC wonders why people are cancelling their licence fee in such huge numbers 😂
@@billsmith-hl8rk And watch this space mate..there have been rumours about a much loved celebrity for a long time.. though I have a feeling the truth on that won't come out until he's brown bread like Savile!
@@alst4817 Not at all. It would appear to be common company practice, especially in high-profile cases. GB News got shut of Dan Wootton after the revelations in ByLine Times even though he wasn't charged by the Met.
The more you learn the deeper it hurts. He's technically a news journalist, how on earth did he think that he wouldn't get caught...
How did he get to know the other people on the WhatsApp group?
And he didnt even delete them!
Sick as f***
Couldn’t stand the gimmicky way he always leant sideways on the desk when reading the news - even the Queen’s death. I would shout ‘sit up ffs’.
I hope he goes to prison.
It’s crazy, just when I used to watch the bbc news channel from my cell in prison, I distinctly remember him, he had all the persona of an authority in the business, to think I was in prison and this guy had actually done so much worse is beyond me, life is trippy sometimes.
He must go to prison
BBC , we all know what that means in adult sites haha
Why was he paid near on half a million quid anyway?
Nurses turning to food banks and selling their annual leave just to survive, but there’s enough money to pay this creature almost £500,000 to read an autocue? It’s absolutely disgusting
BBC.
The BBC never changes...
And Brits have to pay a BBC tax every year? Just asking.
You don't have to pay
....how much tax do Murdoch and his businesses pay in the UK...I'll give you a clue....it's a figure between...NOTHING and F all...?
@@andylucas6962Exactly! It's optional, but Brits like to complain all the time about it.
Most European countries with Public TV add their tax on the electric bill, so people have to pay no matter if they watch it or not. So in fact, the system in the UK is more fair.
We don't actually it's a choice
Nope, we don't.
Disgusting BBC. Jimmy, Bashir, Edwards, etc.
The definition of "making" images should be irrelevant. If a person, in this case a CHILD, is injured or killed during the commission of this particular crime, then ALL those who have participated in the crime, on any level, should be charged with the same degree of culpability. Whether a person created, distributed, or viewed images, all contributed to and perpetuated the reprehensible abuse of children.
Usual suspects 😢
Did the BBC learn nothing from the Saville enquiry. I typically like the BBC but the display of how arrogant the BBC are is disguising.
Certainly the feeling of being conned again and again by someone fairly obnoxious working for this self righteous and pretentious organisation .
Spare a thought for the horrified Welsh, this guy was a national hero, not only a massively successful news reader but his father was famous and he did countless series for Welsh TV. A huge chunk of a Celtic nation are wounded, grieving and in a state of despair...
Wrong he didn't ask for illegal pictures. He immediately told the person not to send them. If I sent you illegal pictures to your email address your a criminal. Remember that.
Sure
Simply not true. Either delete them immediately and block the sender, (don't engage in conversation and ask for additional material), and / or report the sender to the police and provide evidence.
He should have reported him to the police. However, he didn't presumably because he didn't want to expose his sexual interest in other men and young teenagers.
@@jessc2064 I have never been able to understand, why grown men do these things. 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
It actually sickens me to think what pleasure they would get from it 🤦♀️
@@lindamorris8706 me too. I can't believe the original post blamed lockdown boredom for what he did. I remember taking up Sudoku and online solitaire. Never crossed my mind to look at anything like that.
The jibe about the BBC having 'right-on' opinions was a weird little detour & also objectively not true
It’s very simple . We are all fallen human beings as the Bible so correctly says , no matter how famous we have become or how high we have climbed the social ladder …
Not many of us are as fallen as that.
@@erongi233 yes and no , but it’s true that the higher you climb the further you fall !
The bible condones slavery yes nice book
what did BBC do wrong? They're not allowed to not pay sick leaves, or not give a blanket pay rise to certain individuals just cause they've been arrested !
every time they talk about BBC, the other guy keeps saying I don't understand why. Well, then do some research and understand before you open your mouth ! isn't that your job?
Do like me and thousands of others STOP paying your Tv licence fee and how many others are the BBc hiding
Yes, this ☝️
Thought you had to pay the licence x
@@lindamorris8706 if you don't watch BBC live broadcasts you sign a declaration to say you don't, and are then exempt.
That man is disgusting. What's worse is that it took several years before it was brought to light. Disgraceful behaviour.
All part of the BBC organisation for many years now it's what they represent ☝
Statues on show to prove how sick they are.
"CONSCIENCES FREE @ LAST." ❤🇬🇧❤
I really liked this man. He is just one in a long line of famous people. Rolf harris, bill cosby eyc that has betrayed my trust
Really??
The public has more things to worry about than an arrogant autocue reader!
but it nicely detracts from the stabbings, I mean they can't keep blaming the 'far right'
There ARE two things. Things is PLURAL ffs.
Another BBC broadcaster with alternative tastes gets thrown under the bus; how many more are there?🧐
Erm erm erm erm erm erm erm erm erm erm !!!!!!
Trust and BBC news are not two words that go together for a lot of the public. Ditto that for politicians. Oh how shocking everyone says, how could it have happened, well all our institutions need cleaning out and then we may see what else lurks within.
Um, erm!!!!! Not 'video-genic'!!!
is Huw gay?
who is gay? you are gay. why are you gay?
Same with Covid, Immigration etc etc etc etc etc etc
the F has covid or immigration has to do with any of these?!
Like your channel really cares?
