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."

Meanwhile, a story that I can't find mentioned anywhere on the Beeb...

Prince Andrew's Government Files Will Remain Secret Until 2065: Report As the controversial royal appears to get closer to Prince William and Kate Middleton, public information requests on his official position have been rebuffed.

Why is the Beeb continuing to cover for Jeffrey Epstein's good buddy Air Miles Andy...?

Western Maoists...like those running Rat Party Headquarters...have recently coined the phrase “minor attracted person”.

I heard about this they’re calling it a mental condition or state of mind and therefore involving psychiatrists

It’s really bad because that could give them a pass in terms of the law. I dread to think.

Given that it’s coming from “progressives” it most certainly is meant to make it legal. Remember,NAMBLA is a welcome part of the LBGTQWERTY “community”.

It’ll happen 100%

They just need a friendly judge and I’m sure it will happen

We’re meant to be “understanding” these days.

Have you seen or watched Western TV lately? Full of freaks.

That is some convoluted reporting.

Huw here is quitting on medical advice - no doubt mental health related so that is close to what you’re talking about actually happening

I hope he gets better but can’t help feeling although he forgoes any pay-off he will protect his pension.

If investigated and fired for misconduct that would have implications im sure.

And those five? No doubt dead, retired or still on the job untouched so to speak. Yeah there’s a culture and history alright. We see the same in DC and Hollywood as well.

I read that the Metropolitan Police (aka: “Scotland Yard”) investigated the matter and found there was no criminality involved. So that would mean no criminal charges.

Yes,it’s easy to see why the parents are upset. But if he did not,in fact,commit a crime then there’s not much that anyone can do. I doubt that they could even bring a civil suit against him.

Detective: "You know that she was only 6 years old, right?"

Pedo: "Yeah, but she had, already, been groomed and sexualized, since kindergarten. What's the harm?"
