Definitely should have been sentenced to prison.

I take the view there are 4 purposes behind prison, your three and setting a deterrent.   Edwards was not a passive recipient of these images, refer BK Brian’s post above, he was actively en

Why? Do you know more than reported? I only read that someone sent photos via WhatsApp. He asked them to not send any more of such young children...and he even deleted them, as they weren't found on h

Am I and your imaginings about me the topic of discussion?

 

Asked and answered. Thank you 😊

Time to be moving on. Check your moral compass to see if it's still working.

A lot of fluff on this subject. At the end of the day--and aside from chasing after a 17y old boy and admonishing him in the most heinous way as if he were a kid himself--a grown man and supposed pillar of the community has paid for images of little kiddies being abused (to which he replied they were 'amazing'), a crime that has seen others sent down. He probably wasn't because of who he is, had top lawyers and won over an admiring courtroom. That his existing life may be in tatters is immaterial, he will receive a MASSIVE pension from a service that is paid for by the public--mostly the kind of people that wouldn't be treated in so leniently a fashion--and can go on to retire better life than 99% of the populace. The system and powers that be have not done themselves any favours by not applying the law fully here. As if things couldn't be more divisive in the UK right now. Utter shambles.

The argument made by me and others in this discussion is that the demand for this pornography drives the abuse in its production.

 

Vert clearly if there was no demand there would be no production and abuse ascociated with the production.

 

 

 

Oh I see, apologies, that is different. I thought you were saying child porn causes pedophilia, you got it the right way round, pedophilia causes  child porn.

 

I agree with that.

A lot ado about nothing. Just a few drama queens getting themselves all wound up in other people's lives.

Did he molest anyone's children? No. This is all about his THOUGHTS and FEELINGS. 

Then you get all these weirdoes introducing their own disgusting thoughts and ugly anger into the mix.

He gets sexual kicks from watching teenage boys at it. That's embarrassing enough that everyone knows.

But those sick minds want blood.....because they have sick minds. 

I say better he looked at depictions and satisfied himself, than corrupting a young person. He's not a paedophile neither did he touch any young person.

I don't don't care about his salary. What on earth does that have to do with anything? That just smacks of ugly envy.

Not defending him, just simply discussing the case as presented. It could be anyone.

 

 

We all do things that can be claimed lead to something else.

But we aren't discussing paedophilia. That's the point. A few tried to paint it as such, but the evidence shows that he asked for 14-16 year olds. 

The fact that the ages varied comes down to the sender and the inability to verify ages. Possibly the teenager that supplied the material pulled them off the dark web.

So Huw is/was an idiot, but there is no evidence that he'd done anything like that before. So all of the baying for his blood seems a bit overblown.

You present an alternative reality to the actual crimes charged and convicted.

 

This isn’t about Edwards’ thoughts and feelings, it’s about the crimes he actually committed and was convicted for.

I say better satisfied by depiction than actually molesting children. 14 to 16 are sexually active anyway.

It's your sick mind suggesting that I'm in favour.

Have you ever used the services of a prostitute? I'm not in favour of prostitution, but better that the desperate and thirsty have an outlet.

We were, but I think you are on the right track that there is no evidence the perp here is a paedophile, there is a world of difference between committing paedophilia and looking at pics of 14 to 16 year olds..

 

In any event the lenient sentence reflects this.

Yah some of the pics were of younger kids, but the law deeming that he "made" these pictures because he downloaded them is obviously a nonsense.

 

He downloaded something he should not have, but the sentence here is sufficient for effectively dowloading something prohibited.

 

That is all that happened.

      Government Okays 7.12 Billion Baht for Electric Vehicle Grants

      The government has given the green light for the allocation of 7.12 billion baht to fund an electric vehicle (EV) incentive scheme, with the aim to stimulate the country's shift to environmentally-friendly transport. This funding will offer grants to buyers of EVs and electric motorcycles who have made purchases, but not yet applied for the government's EV incentive. So far, 6.87 billion baht in grants has been disbursed to assist 55,000 EVs, with over 5 billion baht set aside for disbursement. In the first stage of the EV 3.0 scheme, EVs priced below 2 million baht were granted up to 150,000 baht, and electric motorcycles priced below 150,000 baht received up to 18,000 baht. The grants are sent directly to the manufacturers, and customers can claim the grant once their vehicles are registered. The second stage, known as EV 3.5, which is set to run from 2024 to 2027, will offer grants from 20,000 to 100,000 baht based on the battery size of the vehicle. This is a move to help Thailand reach its goal of having EVs represent 30% of all vehicle production by 2030, leading to a 40% drop in greenhouse gas emissions. To qualify for the scheme, manufacturers need to meet domestic production standards by 2024 or face increased standards in 2025. This condition has already driven significant investments in the country, with over 80 billion baht allocated to the creation of EV production bases in Thailand. The government hopes that these steps will speed up the growth of the EV industry and aid in achieving its sustainable development goals. File photo for reference only -- 2024-09-25

      Labour Leaders to Reject Free Clothing: Starmer and Rayner Announce Change

      No, Jonny it is not corruption, it is a case(s) of lobbying (by the PL) and these are the facts. Lobbying is described by Wikipedia as, " .... a form of advocacy, which lawfully attempts to directly influence legislators or government officials, such as regulatory agencies or judiciary". The gifts in question have been declared by the MPs in accordance with Parliamentary regulations; therefore nothing untoward has occurred, unless you can either prove that the PL are employing illegal 'lobbying' practices and/or, that the presence (or absence) of these gifts and donations have directly caused these MPs to have changed their minds.

      8 months on VE, got warning at Don Muang Airport but let in

      UPDATES: I'm in Thailand again. apologies for my lack of interactions here, i read all your advices and got lost in deliberations for quite a while, with DTV still beyond my current status, eventually i settled on going with TR as @Tim K and @Katatonica suggested, (thank you there). But instead of Penang, which i thought i would go, following your two concurring, i decided to do it in Kuala Lumpur because the lowest bracket of hostels are cheaper on average in KL (and paying cash at the reception to circumvent the malevolence of 10 rm tourism tax per day), and i needed time to gather my docs. And i thought if they reject they will reject, so, eff it, come what may. The Day of submitting my TR visa docs at embassy: I had with me 3 months' bank statements, accommodation proof (invitation letter + house registration + Thai citizen id copy) , my passport id page copy, 2 passport pics, to and onward tickets (as required), completed form stating purpose of visit is tourism + others: stay with Thai citizen. @Rob Browder I went with flight tickets KL to BKK instead of land entry because I wasn't sure land route tickets were admissible as travel itineraries in the Visa application, also because man it's a long way from south borders to BKK. If i got stuck at the Thai-Malay border, i would have to go back down to whatever Airport, Penang or KL depending on flight prices, because ask me if i wanted to stay in Malaysia my answer is an expletive no. Presented my appointment QR as instructed, arrived 20 mins early, waited extra half hour to get called. The embassy was not empty of other applicants, as i've hoped, but packed a few dozens of them. It was my turn and I wasn't even sure the officer would accept my submission, because i walked up to a guy who i saw got turned away from the counter. He's from Nepal trying to apply for some sort of Visa (not TR), told to apply from his home country. With half an expectation and nervousness i would be turned away too, it was my turn to hand over my papers. Upon her scrutiny the officer asked me to provide my final bank account balance, which i didn't have yet from the bank, as it's due to release next month, but she was ok that i make a screenshot of it on my bank app, and in hard copy, then come back again (same day morning session). So I went to the print shop about 5 mins walk opposite street (a small independent shop running on a ground floor attached to a hotel), asked the shop keeper to take a photo of my phone showing bank app coz it prohibits screenshots, then she printed this photo for me for 2 ringgits. Went back to embassy, waited for a few people, back to the same officer who then accepted my application, took my 160 ringgit fee, and gave me a pick-up slip in return chop chop, which indicated next day. Viola, but i still had to wait 1 more day. Fast forward next day, many from the day before went early too, we all queued up before the embassy opens for afternoon session (2:30 pm). The return of passport was a much quicker process. BAM I got the TR. A full page sticker, 3 months validity from the date of retrieving my passport. Legend says the BAM could still be heard in the distance future where I lay 6 feet under. Day of landing at Don Mueang: Inadvertently queued up to an IO with stars on her shoulders, because i also like to live dangerously. She took time to inspect my case, gossiped with her partner sitting adjacent, after moments of tense silence, then asked my purpose of visit, to which i answered quite honestly: tourism and stay with Thai citizen, and i showed her the invitation letter, which she scrutinized the content with a finger. Then she asked if i had a return ticket. I showed her. Then I was stamped and let in. Verdict: Stayed on VE over 8 months within a calendar year with many border runs and 2 extensions, applied for TR visa with legit docs and reasons, after scaffolding my passport with stamps from a couple of other countries in little less than 2 months, was let in. Couldn't tell if this works for everybody but for the record this one time it worked. Visa agency: Thanks for your inputs but I have trust issues with people let alone 3rd party middlepeople who are dead set on ripping off foreigners with legally questionable means and I didn't feel like putting my name on the money boat that tries to get around the official gov immigration who in my impression happens to be quite sensitive with disrespects. I'm afraid i might end up paying for another money boat being turned away with a parting gift of unknown future consequences. Not to mention that I don't think these middlepeople deserve the money they extort. FInal thoughts: I need to pull my fecal matters together get a remote job (again), aim for a long term visa. Aka juicing the grits to earn the rights to a life I want, like a normal person does. That's actually how i see this or any other current system, unfortunately, works. Thank you everybody who took the time to response and advice. You helped me. And I hope my rundown helps someone else in similar situation too.

      Thailand Prepares for Historic Futsal Clash Against France

      In Bukhara, Uzbekistan, this Friday (Sep 27), Thailand's national futsal team is gearing up for a significant round-of-16 contest against France in the FIFA Futsal World Cup. Under the leadership of coach Miguel Rodrigo, the Thai team aims to secure a historic quarter-final berth, buoyed by their recent triumph over Croatia during the group stage. Rodrigo has been diligently formulating a strategy to counteract France's formidable physicality and skill, traits they share with Croatia. The emphasis in the lead-up to this crucial match is on refining tactics and bolstering the team’s confidence. With just four days remaining, preparations are intensifying. Experienced player Itticha Praphaphan underlined the importance of a united team effort, particularly in defence, to face a French squad bolstered by talents from Spain's top futsal league. The Thai team is optimistic, recognising that a display akin to their last performance could pave the way to their first-ever quarter-final appearance in the World Cup. All eyes will be on Thailand come Friday, as the nation hopes to witness a momentous victory. File photo for reference only -- 2024-09-25

      One of the first acts of Joe Biden was to make face masks mandatory, look it up. Trump never mandated any lockdown, the stay at home orders were made at state, city and county level. Only a handful of states did it. However, if Harris would get in, she would be far more extreme with masks and lockdowns than Trump. She is already being pressured by Covid nuts who claim Biden did too lilttle and Harris has to do more.
