I doubt he cares. It's just a discussion thread to try and get some interest/banter going. There's no necessity to participate in it or even read it!

Bar work. Now's she a full-time wife and mother.

I'm inclined to disagree. Most of MF's huge youth vote was because of his promise about 112.

It would have been illegal if he'd done that, but he didn't! Not for the first time, The Sun was wrong (just like with their Hillsborough reporting). It seems perfectly black & white, which is why, currently, the police are satisfied that no crime has been committed.

No, they all quoted the 'story' from The Sun.

Dating apps.

Not if the allegations made by The Sun were false!

You might be right. But as Edwards' career is now finished anyway, I would think he (not the BBC) would be able to sue The Sun for defamation.

Are you sure? I had to get my re-entry permit stamped into my new passport (free of charge) as it's linked to the passport number.

It appears not! The Sun is likely to be in BIG trouble! Hopefully it will go the same way as the News of the World.????

Yes, can't see anything for the police (unless they want to pursue the lockdown infringement), but "The Presenter's" career is finished.

What criminal offence has been alleged? Just breaking the lockdown rules in force at the time?

His political opinions are irrelevant to the job he does and rightly so, as was proved when some on the far right got upset when he criticised the government's cruel asylum policies. He still does the same job, thankfully.

The world is changing - you need to move with the times! 100 years ago people thought homosexuality, mixed-race marriage and divorce was wrong. It's called 'progress'. ????

I asked this a few posts ago. I don't think it has.

12 long years of Tory misrule... Who else to blame?

See @Mr Meeseeks's post above. I'm not even sure that 'corporate manslaughter' exists in Thai law. Even if someone gets blamed it will be low level engineer and not the company bosses/directors.

Has it been confirmed that the 'victim' is a boy?

Good grief! I assume you don't watch it then, if you think any of that is true. Gary Lineker presents football programmes, so why is his politics relevant?

The BBC left-wing? Come on now, that's patently ridiculous! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Davie

I agree about Savile. Mind you, the scandal could have (should have) brought down the monarchy, the Tory party and the NHS as well!

The BBC is a national treasure. Or 'was' before it got taken over by Cameron's Tory cronies!

An interesting development. I'd love to see The Sun damaged beyond repair and follow the NOTW into the media trashbin, which could happen if they've got this story wrong!

No it isn't. You should read the entire thread before posting... On 7/9/2023 at 10:11 AM, BritManToo said: Isn't 17 legal in the UK? No! Under the Protection of Children Act 1978, it is an offence to 'make, distribute, possess or show any indecent images of anyone aged under 18' - even if it was created with the young person's consent. It is also a criminal offence to ask a child under 18 to send a sexual image of themselves - and causing or inciting sexual exploitation of a child carries a maximum penalty of 14 years in prison. Making or possessing indecent images carries a maximum sentence of 10 years.
