The BBC wait for years and plan the announcement of the queen's death.....and they choose a nonce to address the nation.

And another nonce who painted the Queens 80th birthday portrait, Rolf Harris which I thought at the time was very good. I somehow think the painting won’t be on display now, it’s probably tucked away somewhere.

Who would have thought that these two men were capable of doing something so evil.

Surely time for the current Director General of the BBC to go?

I heard some bloke, a BBC producer (didn't catch his name), who had worked for years with Edwards, on the radio who was worried about HIS mental health & that people should show some sympathy & compassion(?).

 

Would the same BBC producer be requesting the same sympathy & compassion if he was producing a programme investigating Hugh Edwards, paedophile on a Cardiff council estate?

Depends whether that 'paedophile' at the time was already found guilty and convicted. Until that happened, who was the BBC to make judgement about Edwards.

 

Last time I check we still have innocent until guilty. 

 

All too easy to be making comment with hindsight.

BBC asks Huw Edwards to hand back £200,000 of salary

The BBC board said the former newsreader had "clearly undermined trust" in the broadcaster.

Huw Edwards has been asked to hand back part of his annual BBC salary after pleading guilty to possession of indecent images of children.

 

The amount - thought to be in the region of £200,000 - is what he earned from the broadcaster for five months after he was arrested.

 

Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy had previously called on the former broadcaster to return his salary.

 

The 62-year-old pleaded guilty to three counts of making indecent images of children at a court hearing last month.

 

Edwards was named among the BBC's highest-paid stars, despite being off-air since July 2023.

 

In a statement, the BBC board said: "Today, the board has authorised the executive to seek the return of salary paid to Mr Edwards from the time he was arrested in November last year."

 

It said Edwards had pleaded guilty to "an appalling crime" and had "clearly undermined trust" in the corporation.

 

"Had he been up front when asked by the BBC about his arrest, we would never have continued to pay him public money," a spokesperson said.

It's rank. There appears to be a nonce culture at the BBC.

Absolutely no morals 🤮

Oh come off it. 

 

There really does seem to be selective outrage with all this stuff.  Good grief, there was an entire film genre of grown adults dressed up like school girls for titillation or comedic purposes. 

 

The 1970s and even into the 80s was filled with lewd comedy whose basic plot was some blonde big breasted girl being perved over, chased, fondled and paraded around  by some ageing greasy man.  

 

All over popular culture there has been schoolgirl dressed images of women paraded across magazines with their bits out or singing songs like "hit me baby one more time".    There were shows on TV where actual children were made up like a slapper and shoved in some tight dress to sing completely inappropriate songs like "like a virgin"

 

Certain tabloids were more than happy to promote their fresh faced new page 3 model who's just turned 16 all ready to get them out for the lads to be splashed across millions of copies of newsprint. 

 

We had scores of rockstars, pop singers and DJs having increasingly of the increasing ageing and decrepaid variety more than happy to absorb the fame, attention, and other 'favours' of their adoring young teenage fans, screaming and chanting and clamouring to get into their dressing rooms...

 

Where is their shaming. Why just the BBC under attack.   How come some of that behaviour is played down as just being of its time or cheeky or just banter or just comedy  with participants still being classed as heroes and national treasures and yet seemingly other people or corporations engaged in exactly the same type of behaviour are singled out for criticism and  bring hauled over the coals.

 

Come on if people are going to be outraged -  then outrage for the whole of it not just one particular sector or selected people.

Is it because;

1: The BBC is a publicly owned and funded organisation.

2. There were decades of known cover up from top to bottom.

and 

3: Those titillating of-their-time comedy shows weren't supposed to be documentaries.

?
