‘Double standards’ at play in BBC presenter scandal: Douglas Murray

Author Douglas Murray says there is an “awful lot” of double standards at play in the public’s reaction to the recent photo scandal involving BBC presenter Huw Edwards.
“The people who are saying ‘be kind’ about Huw Edwards now are very often the people who rampage across social media, as well as the media, bullying everyone,” Mr Murray told Sky News host Caleb Bond.
“I don’t trust these people.”

    Do you know about dirty old men ? Homosexual desires which arise in old men have been causally linked with declining production of testosterone. Huw Edwards' situation may well be due to a medical problem beyond his control or understanding.

    The thing that's pee'd me off is his scuttling away like a coward to hide in a (probably) really swanky private clinic with an A La Carte menu. As someone who's suffered from mental health issues since I was 10 (now 55) who at times has had to plead and beg to get treatment and KNOWS that depression doesn't make people do the things Edwards did I feel insulted and mislabeled. The only reason his mental health is so poor is because he got caught, he KNOWS he's done more than enough for very serious consequences and his reputation is in tatters.

The public isn't outraged because we hold journalists to unfair standards that we ourselves don't embody - they're outraged because it seems clear that these men were preying on teenagers that were not of legal age, and that 'the system' is conspiring to cover for them. If you honestly believe that Philip and Hew waited until their victims were above the age of consent before exploiting them, I have a bridge in London to sell you.

    1) The BBC is not responsible for the behaviour of its' employees, except when they are at work. The BBC is not obliged, and is arguably not empowered, to investigate the private lives of its employees. 2) We have seen that there are problems with the story in The Sun. The alleged victim says that it is not true and The Sun has watered down a number of its' claims. Perhaps the BBC felt that the allegations were not credible, especially since they were not accompanied by any evidence. 3) The mother of the alleged victim has refused to talk to the BBC - how can they investigate the situation when the complainant refuses to talk to them ? What does her refusal suggest about her good will and/or her integrity ?

Nevermind his position as a high-profile presenter being paid for by already struggling license fee payers. He was skulking around with people young enough to be his grandchildren.

    Totally agree with Douglas Murray. Nigel Farage, Boris Johnson or Jeremy Clarkson would all have been pursued by the BBC until their lives were in tatters and their careers were in ruins. I give you Cliff Richard as an example. Huw Edwards betrayed his wife and his children which makes him a despicable character. Yes there was nothing illegal about it but there are moral standards and Huw Edwards' disgusting behaviour to his wife and children fell well below the line of moral standards I expect of a respectable news reader.
