Here here!

And it's not unheard of for people to start going on about their mental health issues as an insurance policy for if/when their skeletons come out!

I was called disgusting for saying this last year, but I stand by it. Huw is a vile manipulative person, it's very likely he started documenting his mental health issues as a get out clause for if/when his crimes came out.

Precisely so.

Btw Peter Lynch the man who believed in NWO conspiracies and flat earther theories was from Rotherham. His sentence was longer than the sentences of some in the grooming gang who had spent 20 years raping little girls in his town. So that may have played into his paranoia as well - but again none of it was taken into consideration. Those young women are not allowed to name their abusers btw. Even the convicted ones. And they are not permitted to know when their abusers have been released back into their community either.

Btw of the dozens of men in that grooming gang, only seven were ever charged and convicted. Of the hundreds of children who were raped, only two of the victims were subject to abuse so bad that it was deemed "strong enough" to have charges brought on their behalf. Or were still alive to testify.

I wonder what sent Pete down his angry rabbit hole, eh?

Yes I think you are confused. I got the sentencing incorrect though so here I shall errata us both.


Mine seems to have been a tad less wrong than yours though as he was indeed convicted of having said and written some frankly offensive things and having some flat earther mates. He set fire to duck all & was nowhere near a mosque.

You appear more confused than me

I think that one of the only things the US does better than us is locking up these sickening men. Josh Duggar got 12 years for pretty much the same crime as HE. It is mind boggling the difference between the 2 countries.

Yes very true. Prison is rough in the US and the release procedures are complicated. HE would have been sent to prison a long time for being a paedophile and being a national face.
Mental health issues should NEVER be used as an excuse for being a criminal because that’s what paedophilia is!

He didn't get 2 years for waving placards. That wasn't seen as illegal. He got custody for being a 'full participant' in a large group violent disorder. I believe it was that riot that involved trying to set fire to the building with asylum seekers inside it, but I could be confusing it with another.

Local press and local groups are reporting suicide rather than cardiac issues and nobody has disputed this or said its wrong.
I quite local and my fb timeline is just full of it

What was wrong with referring him to NHS services as a duty of care?

Probably because the NHS would've recognised quite quickly that he didn't need in-patient hospital care, and was just trying to minimise/hide from/excuse his criminal behaviour. Private medical care providers who charge £25,000 a week are less bothered about whether someone is actually unwell and in need of treatment and will gladly take the money.
 
On the other hand, mental health services are so stretched, there’s not enough staff or beds to be able to help those who need it, and the waiting lists are horrific.

If someone can pay privately, IMO that’s good because it’s one less person who doesn’t sit in the system for who knows how long, and it frees up a space for someone who really, desperately, needs it.
 
I don’t take issue with celebs paying for private healthcare. I have issue with the BBC doing it on taxpayers money for someone who was suspended due to allegations of inappropriate, possibly illegal, sexual behaviour (that they knew of at the time.) Do they pay private healthcare for all their employees? I expect not.

The state of the NHS is not the responsibility of the BBC. If Huw Edwards felt nhs services weren’t going to respond quick enough then he should have funded private himself.

That's not what happened. Hue didn't pay. We paid.
 
Yes I know it was ‘our’ money that paid, but it’s still money we’d have paid anyway - was going on his disgusting salary - and it’s still one less person clogging up the NHS.

If the BBC had dealt with the allegations when the young person’s parents first approached them it would have been far less public and there would have been no concern of duty of care to HE. I do understand that it’s not an employer’s ‘responsibility’ but the way it came out could have been avoided if the BBC had acted sooner.

I think this is an agree to disagree situation but for me, it freed up an NHS space and that’s a good thing.

Companies paying for private healthcare is not unusual. Mine did it for me (mental health stuff again).

Same but mine was via my taxable benefit healthcare option. I have had thousands of pounds (not exaggerating) of outpatient MH treatment / therapy over the last few years.
 
Bit of a lose/lose situation for the BBC there. Let's not forget he was only suspended pending an investigation at that stage. If he'd killed himself and the BBC had provided no support, they'd probably have been criticised.

Obviously with what we know now it's different, but at that stage, with what was known at the time, I don't think it's a surprise they paid for it.

They bleeping knew he was a predatory tit and they didn’t care.
 
I just can’t agree that employer duty of care extends as far as paying for private inpatient hospital care, certainly for what has been suggested was for an extended period time. Regardless of what they did or didn’t know at the time. It’s the height of rich man privilege.

This isn’t private healthcare insurance as an employee benefit. This is paying for it outright.

In fairness, that's what I had. I mean not extended private inpatient hospital care, but the company personally paid for extensive mental healthcare which was not covered by the health insurance we all had.

He was their talent; it doesn't surprise me that they tried to do to their best to protect him (this was before the emergence of the texts re CSA).

As an aside, people going private doesn't free up NHS places unfortunately. It means that an NHS person doesn't get seen by someone who's decided to go private rather than NHS.
 
It’s all gone very quiet, he’s not been sighted out and about anywhere to my knowledge. I wonder if he’s alone this Christmas? Has his family disowned him?
