It's not an explanation to say that even though one person has done something another might not have.

It was you who said so!

Was he caught? Or stung by a malicious parent looking for a pay day?

There must have been some kind of contact/relationship but it could have been entirely benign, based on common interests or a genuine concern. I don’t know but then no one really does.

Really?


Is an opinion another writer might have decided was valid and found space for.

This one didn’t though.

It seems that there must be identity theft here, as this appeared in a post claiming to be from you:-

“It's not even an explanation.”

No identity theft but certainly a logic failure.
Original post says another person might have written the article differently which is meaningless. Another newsreader might not have got himself into the trouble Huw Edwards did.

That anyone struggles to determine meaning, or holds another opinion, does not equate to it being meaningless. It’s just another opinion. On which other opinions are also available.

No struggling involved just more evidence that the BBC should be defended at all times.
Savile & co : no one knew what was happening.
Bashir: acted entirely alone.
Edwards: a possible scam job by the family involved.
Lineker: allowed to break BBC rules because he's not really an employee.

I'd be wondering if Edwards has been given a severance package. I'd say likely. Probably only a few hundred grand though.

Accountability is what's totally missing. And Huw only just resigned yesterday, probably taking quite a heft 'sick-leave' in the meantime

 


I disengage, I turn the page.

You can file this one under 'Huw we're going to ask you to leave on medical grounds, but that will mean we can reimburse you in full any salary, pensions or benefits due'
Then after a decent sabbatical & hopefully enough water flowing under the bridge we will invite you back periodically to do BBC news one off specials.

What, like Jimmy Saville's "benign" relationships?

Be honest. Did you suspect anything before the story broke for any of those? Savile always seemed weird to me but was also regarded as a national treasure by many. Bashir’s piece seemed authentic. Lineker isn’t liked here but the type of contract he, and others, are able to get has both advantages and disadvantages for the BBC. One of the disadvantages being they cannot really discipline him. They can only stop using him. Edwards was a trusted and respected journalist. The BBC have acknowledged they have learned from the Savile episode and ensured that staff with concerns have ways to raise them.

The BBC does need defending. Not at all costs but from the type of attacks that are whipped up by the right wing press who try to undermine them at every opportunity.
