Everyone involved has suffered enormously as things have come to light - except the Sun, who have most likely benefitted financially. Would be nice to see them hit with a few lawsuits for privacy & defamation breaches. 1 hour ago, Cameronstheman said: A bit harsh. As things stand, there's no evidence in the public domain that Huw actually had sex with any of these teenagers. Unlike these repugnant reprobates..... 1 hour ago, William H.

Not condoning his behaviour but find it somewhat unsavoury the frenzied kicking when he is down. Salacious gossip and media headlines over the last few days totally disproportionate to much more important things going on in the world.

Back with wife , she is “ giving him a second chance “ etc etc 59 minutes ago, FWJ said: I hear that on R5 this evening it was noted that the Sun had stopped saying ‘17 year old child’ a few days ago and started saying ‘young man’. This, too, from the BBC site - “South Wales Police previously said it had told the young person's family there was no criminal wrongdoing after being approached prior to their complaint to the BBC and account to the Sun. In another statement on Wednesday, the force said it had recently carried out further inquiries and had found "no evidence that any criminal offences have been committed".” So the parents went to the police, didn’t get anywhere, then went to the BBC - who say they tried to contact them but didn’t get a response and then they went to the Sun ?

Lone Striker Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Maybe a bit off-topic, but this blog from Jacqui Hames (former police officer who appeared on Crimewatch regularly, and is now a campaigner with Hacked Off) touches on her experiences around giving evidence at the Levison inquiry, and her insight into how embedded Murdoch is with the political elite in the UK. The terms of reference was to split the inquiry into 2 parts - the first part to hear evidence & testimony from "victims" of phone hacking & press intrusion and to come up with recommendations to prevent repeat occurences.... and the 2nd part to focus on the "activities" of News International (i.e. Murdoch). Surprise, surprise - the part 1 recommendations got substantially watered down, and part 2 was "shelved" by Matt Hancock in 2018. The word "corruption" may spring to mind when you read this. https://hackinginquiry.org/jacqui-hames-my-line-of-duty/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he know what the money was being spent on? That’s the responsibility of the person getting the money. Maybe he thought the fact it wasn’t the public’s business made him think his personal life was personal. (Although working in the cess-pit that is the British media he should have known better.
