BBC's Top News anchor quits on medical advice, parents of "young person" speak out
Daily Express ^ | April 22 | Daily Express

Posted on 04/22/2024 7:38:57 PM PDT by RandFan

The parents at the centre of the Huw Edwards scandal said that they are "still suffering" and "still seeking answers" before he quit the BBC. The news anchor left his role on Monday on medical grounds after 40 years.

Huw, 62, was suspended from the BBC last July after allegations were made that he sent a young individual thousands of pounds and received explicit images. He has since not appeared on screen since the claims.

Speaking exclusively to the publication, the young person's parents voiced their concern that they "won't get answers" now that Huw has departed the BBC.

The mother told The Sun: "In resigning we are worried we won’t get the answers we so desperately need. If Huw has been found to have done something wrong no action can be taken against him. My heart is broken.

"This has been a traumatic time that we feel hasn’t been resolved. We just want closure and this doesn’t take us any closer to it. We still have so many questions and we need the BBC to answer them. This is not the end for us."

Another one who likes "young people".

This guy was their top anchor for years and led the main news bulletins at 6 and 10pm daily.

How “young” are we talking about? The article assumes everyone already knows the backstory.

Some time ago, there was a push, in the UK, to lower the age of consent to 12.

I told my Dad"You'll have a 50 yr old homosexual pedophile legally dating your 12 year old son and you won't be allowed to buy a gun and shoot him."

We're about there.

How the bleep did this Huw get the lead anchor job in the first place. Part of me is curious but I fear knowing might be a regret.

I argue with FReepers frequently who want to push teenage age girls age of consent down. Just did it today.

17 year old had it coming. 16 year old asked for it. 15 year old is a slut. Etc.

I always ask how low you gonna go, and why? Cause that’s what pedos always say. “They wanted it.”

I'm sure a few would say, "Old enough to bleed...old enough to breed."

‘...the young person’s parents voiced their concern that they “won’t get answers”...’

What questions do the parents have? I’ve got half a brain, I’ll take shot at answering them.

HUW?????

HOW does one pronounce that?

It’s my opinion that when children have names that can be made fun of, they usually resort to dark deeds.

JMHO

If you know anything about the history if the BBC, you know very well how he got it.

And how he kept it for so long.

All paid for by UK taxpayers who have to pay through nose for a license in order to watch the Beeb.
