It's about journalistic practices and codes of conduct plus legislation relating to the press. Can't just go around printing stuff.I checked on this yesterday, they said they have a “dossier of evidence” including claims from BBC colleagues - whether these are the ones that have already been spoken about I have no idea. They left it vague. Also vague what a “dossier of evidence” is! You’d think if they genuinely had a lot more evidence they would print it regardless of Huw’s mental health (they don’t generally show much understanding when it comes to mental health) so who knows.
Could have fooled me with how they've behaved at times...Can't just go around printing stuff.

They'll bide their time. So... the question is... how long can Huw hide for!? I mean it could be months or up to a year or 18 months even. And *if* he's in the UK (personally I sincerely doubt that) how long before someone snitches his whereabouts!? Bound to happen.
I think even lowly paid admin staff do too. Because the BBC charter and tax payers money plus Licence Fee members of public money.BBC confirmed that highly paid presenters have 'disrepute' written in their contracts
Yeah but they've upped their game since the Levenson Inquiry and more phone tapping scandals and being sued by public figures.Could have fooled me with how they've behaved at times...
Good. I hope they’re extending some level of duty of care.Tim D said they're in contact with the family
That’s not far away really, considering school holidays starting this week always slow things down. Only 7 weeks until September.Tim Davies said this investigation could last til the Autumn
that’s what I mean. Establishing a crime has taken place isn’t necessary for a search warrant application. There just needs to be reasonable grounds to suspect there has been one (along with some other elements, such as proportionality of a search being assessed etc) thats what I keep telling you and you don’t seem to understand.Oh duck off, I understand Policing just fine thanks.
PACE means The Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984. This gives Police powers to investigate and arrest, enter premises, search persons etc.
Do you or anyone else here have any evidence to suggest a crime has taken place? So PACE could be used?
No you don't. As the parents didn't either. So the Police have no 'reasonable grounds to investigate' duck all.
The alleged victim has explicitly stated they were not a victim of a crime. Even The Sun which initially implied a CSA offence had taken place have back-tracked and said they shouldn't have implied that.
That doesn't mean a crime wasn't committed, but the Police require some evidence to investigate. As you say a 'tip-,off' may be valuable and taken seriously but only if it supports other Police intelligence.
And if you cared to examine what the parents actually *said*, they witnessed nothing. They alleged they saw a screenshot of a video call which they alleged was HE in his pants. They didn't say they witnessed anything, though many have created fan-fiction where the poor parents wandered into a room and saw HE on a laptop live waiting for the alleged 'victim'.
That's not what they said. They said they saw a 'picture'. A picture they apparently don't have possession of as could not hand it over to The Police, the BBC or The Sun.
So you can duck off with your aggressive posting thanks.
There's no cover-up here, the Police have literally no information or evidence to investigate a crime.
Your other points about the Police not investigating devices in cases of suspected paedophile rings due to cost are not at all what I said and just a weak straw man argument on your part.
Pretty much everyone at pretty much every company does.BBC confirmed that highly paid presenters have 'disrepute' written in their contracts
Absolutely, the age matters in your opinion and that’s fine.the age of the person involved does matter but it’s not the only thing that matters.
the huge imbalance between them; in terms of social standing, money, influence, age, addiction/health, is all very relevant because they all contribute to an imbalance of power, which is the core of exploitation.
it’s not just a matter of looking and doing a tick box exercise if something is legal or not - because looking at other factors is also relevant. And just because something isn’t illegal doesn’t mean it isn’t harmful, wrong or unfair.
age doesn’t just matter in my opinion? Like it’s not something that I alone care about. It’s legislated for and collectively across society, pretty emotive.Absolutely, the age matters in your opinion and that’s fine.
I was agreeing with the post I replied to in terms of illegality and consent, neither of which have been stated by the 20 year old or the police in the original case.
We (the general public) don’t have any idea what the 20 year old and HE knew about each other and at what point they learnt each thing they knew.
Bringing in the word ‘exploitation’ is a whole new level of allegations and - to me - brings immediate thoughts of modern day slavery. To be clear I’m not saying that’s what you meant - just that it’s what I thought of from the word. Exploitation isn’t always illegal. Zero hour contracts and internships are exploitative, but perfectly legal and socially acceptable.
Regardless of whether the general public think something is immoral / disgusting / wrong / unfair, isn’t what really matters the voice of the person at the centre of it?
Haha I’m thrilled it has slowed down a bit so I can keep up and still do other things! It was crazy at one stagewell its got very slow on here today - i remember sunday we were on 4 threads a day lol
i hope something new gets revealed .
When it was confirmed that it was Huw Edwards I did say here that I was shocked and sad, that is still how I feel BUT that does not mean I condone what he has allegedly done.I wish someone would tag me in one of these many posts defending Huw Edwards! I feel like that’s the only viewpoint we haven’t had. Where are all the Huw Edwards super fans at?
I’ve given up a bit this afternoon because Tattle is being so slow and glitchy!well its got very slow on here today - i remember sunday we were on 4 threads a day lol
i hope something new gets revealed .
Which is a shame, because I’m mainly here to see what other Huw Edwards photos and expressions you’ve managed to find.I’ve given up a bit this afternoon because Tattle is being so slow and glitchy!
