[News] Huw Edwards

[abc]

The BBC knew he had been arrested, but that means nothing. He might have been not guilty, and you can't sack anyone on mere allegations. They say they would have fired him if and when he had been charged, but he resigned before then.

You can't blame the BBC for keeping anything quiet. There are legal restrictions on they an and cannot report in these cases. It isn't like a social media witch hunt (compare the EDL idiots at Southport yesterday).

I think you are right. However challenging, we must all follow and passionately protect the mantra ‘innocent until proven guilty’. That’s a grown up principal that social media has abandoned with often tragic consequences

Who would do the voiceover though? Huw's obviously not first choice for the "And now, Fiona rolls up a fifty pound note" line. No pun intended.

I think it's more a Murray Walker line. Except he's dead. Back to the drawing board.

Barry Davies in full 1970s Match Of The Day way. Not quite to the hyperbole of Walker, but carries the authority of being alive during the era, an English gentleman and broadcaster extraordinaire and never a person of interest to Operation Yewtree.

It’ll probably be forwarded to you on a WhatsApp group, but unknown to you it’ll actually be dubbed over the sound of that woman making really loud sex noises and/or suddenly have a shot of that bloke in the hat with the infeasibly long penis.

GAK pays the rent. And Fiona does her share.
