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 Ł35k 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.
Good man. Mahow owes you a tenner.
Tim Lovejoy seems to be getting shit on social media for comments from like 20 odd years ago about women’s football so you wonder if he’s next bearing in mind how close to the bone Soccer AM used to be.
That clip was hilarious. Soccer AM was peak growing up
I'm a twit
Fucking hell.
He'll be doing crypto podcasts with the Coast guy and Joe Rogan next.
Would love to have seen the look on the face of his lawyers/PR team when someone told them he'd gone rogue on Instagram. God bless social media and all who sail on those choppy waters.
The random cut and scene transition in the middle is incredible.
In the absence of further damming evidence I am somewhat sympathetic to his plight. I'd suspect spending 5 minutes around him would be enough to know he likes the tragic bawdy patter, so if the BBC weren't happy with it over the last however many years then they should have formally pulled him up on it then rather than saving it up for trial by media.
There is something a bit odd about the timing. Why is he getting me-tooed several years after everyone else / the events described.
Possibly because had it come out at the time his rap sheet wouldn't have even touched the sides of some of the other stuff that was being revealed.
He probably just annoyed the wrong person. The BBC way seems to be to protect scumbags until it's no longer in their interest to do so, then they throw them to the wolves.
From what I can gather, he's made a few double entendres andpeoplemiddle-class women of a certain age have complained a decade later. Am I missing something?
Not really.
lol at the MP saying they should pull the current series and all previous episodes available on iPlayer because they could trigger victims.
Not that I would necessarily disagree with a trigger warning for shows containing him as he's fucking annoying.
That seems to be pretty much it.
I think he's a complete disaster of a man, but it definitely smacks of someone wanting to get him off the payroll or similar.
He's just your average geezer down the pub on a Thursday night. Risqué jokes, loud shirts, 2 pints of Carling oi oi. Unless there is more to come out, he'll be hosting his own show on GB News this time next month.
He's obviously a Grade A dickhead and it's not surprising what has come out in terms of the kind of stuff that has been shown on screen before which they haven't cut. But, it does very much seem like a bit of a mountain out of a molehill. There could be deeper stuff to it, but it seems like mostly he's been going round being a bit of a sexist idiot which sounds like 90% of the UK male population that's around 60 years of age I mean what do they expect especially if they haven't told him to fucking stop it.
We need leaked WhatsApp videos now of him saying he's fixed judging and thinks Monica is a cunt.
Walking round the Masterchef studio with nothing but a sock on his cock, saying a dish served to him tastes 'like my aunt's cunt' and telling a contestant they are preparing a fish 'like a rapist conducting foreplay' are slightly stronger than double entendres, I'd argue. Not exactly soggy bottoms and nice buns.
Ankle sock?
There was also someone (ex-BBC I think) claiming that these 'star' contracts should include clauses where the stars agree they will not cause any offence. I mean, how on earth do you police that?
What?
The underrated single entendre.
I’d not seen this stuff. If this is what he’s done then yeah he’s an idiot and he’s fucked.
He also went to an event where an asian chef called Mimi was cooking and called her YouYou all night, which reminds me of my chinese mate getting an apprenticeship in the shipyard and all the old hands calling him 'Bruce' rather than bothering to learn his chinese name.
Not the end of the world but if you are a celebrity in 2024 doing this shit then not sure what you expect.
