And the BBC will too. I don't know why it took them so long (and with this much nudging) to get to that position, but maybe due to Huw's previously open discussion of his depression problems (some cracking positioning from the big man in hindsight) they were afraid to.Originally Posted by Offshore Toon
Of course not and I don't doubt that he's actually ill, but unless he's reached whatever legal standard they use to permanently send you into care, that shouldn't give him a pass over improper behaviour, which it sounds like he's been indulging in whether he was mentally suffering or not.
What is the improper behaviour though. Paying for legal pornography?
I read somewhere that all organisations involved had to be careful prior to his wife naming him as there are severe legal ramifications if you out someone as gay in the national press?
He will be finished, and rightly so but I agree with Spikes that the hysteria about him 'noncing' kids is mental. A lot of sex workers are drug users, in fact that's how a lot of them got started in sex work. He's a dirty old man who has been caught out, that's the extent of the story really. If an 18 year old girl defers going to Uni this summer and makes £35k on Onlyfans she'll be paraded by The Sun and friends as a boss babe cleverer than all the other wage slave mugs.
Right, I'm pretty sure we all actually agree. Somebody find another saga to make a thread on.
Yeah, particularly in the context of the age gap. I mean, I don't necessarily agree with it, but that's the way the BBC will ultimately will see it.
I generally agree with Offshore, but, between the Mental Health angle and all of his luvvie mates circling the wagons against the tabloids, I don't think the BBC will can him.
It's an interesting precedent for the next time somebody outside the little media club does something seedy but legal though. I'm sure the same people will all rush to their defence.
I'd come down on him harder just for playing the mental health card.
I actually can't emphasise how little I care about this and how unimportant it is and yet, it's all I'm seeing on the socials.
I mean he's potentially nearly killed himself. I don't think it's a "card".
The tabloids are coming at BBC figures for business reasons, so given the personal wreckage that causes (deserved or otherwise) the luvvie mates are entitled to circle the wagons, just as Nadine Dorries is entitled to write books defending Boris.
Hes also been open about his mental health struggles for over 20 years. Aye he's been a bit seedy but almost the entire population have some dark secrets going on.
Hope he gets the help he needs as when you're at the point you're submitted to a ward you're in a properly fucked situation mentally.
With all his church shit and doormat of a wife, we're clearly seeing a closeted bloke managing gay outbursts under the mental health umbrella. If that's the case, people should probably ask why he's suppressing it in the name of religion.
Regardless, he's done well to muddy the waters long enough to get to where he is.
I am surprised by the people rallying around him. I don't think what he's done deserves the level of OUTRAGE we saw, but he's still a bit of a wrongun for having a teenage drug abuse kink. #PoorHuw
The Sun protected their own even worse wrong un for a long time, apparently.
Now there's a cunt I can back a vendetta against. Let's go.
Anything to distract from the financial ruin the country finds itself in.
People are absolutely fucking obsessed with BBC presenters, for whatever reason. Look at the number of headlines Gary Lineker gets himself into just for talking over the football and expressing bog standard metro-lib opinions on twitter.
Wasn't there a load of dodgy stuff about George Osborne floating around that has been completely buried by this?
Think George Osborne is on the other side of the argument to be honest.
He got caught and he's tried the handy way out. He'd still be living it up and carrying it on if he was getting away with it. Mental health me hole.
As I said he's been public about his mental health for years before this. I'm sure this probably tipped it over the edge but its a known problem he's had for fucking ages.
I'm sure if this didn't happen, he'd probably be trucking on handlingit with any therapy based techniques he's learnt over time, aye.
Mad how mental health works and that. While there are those who do take the piss with the angle, I'm pretty fucking sure this is an actual case.
Yes the people that should be sent in to deep space and forgotten about.
The knives are out for Wootton big time. It's beautiful.
