Cobblers. Nothing illegal. Hes not like a hypocritical politician criticising others, while doing differently themselves. Just a news reader with mental health issues.

We all I have our 'interests'.
E.g. I have a cactus collection :) The Sun will 'out me' one day I should think.

Hmmm, cactus, Sun, out, ... where it don't shine.

Seriously though - you having a cactus collection explains a lot. Perfectly legal, of course, but you're not a "household name". So you put your cacti anywhere you like.

It’s still his problem, not ours, Seph. Private lives should be kept private and we could all do with a lot less moralising.

Maybe the point is that it’s Boris who can’t do anything right by members of this forum.

We aren't talking about how many kids he has every year either.

As was, I thought, settled a long time ago. The legality of the episode is not the pertinent issue. A man of influence and power in his 60’s, corrupting a teenager, is the story.

Given that he’s proven that’s the case there’s nothing wrong at all with calling him out for it especially when he’s shown to be corrupt, corruptible, dishonest plus all the rest and for a while was able to make choices and decisions that directly affect OUR lives.

Huw Edwards has shown himself to be a competent and respected newsreader until all this broke. He’s likely still a good newsreader but many feel let down and disappointed by him. Especially here in Wales, we’ve always been proud of him.

So really, you can’t seriously compare Bullshitting Boris to Huw Edwards in all this.

One of the stories - another is a major tabloid making stuff up about an adult (aged 18), perhaps to distract from the allegation that one of it’s previous senior employees had been engaged in corrupt, perhaps illegal, activities…

Influence and power? He just reads the news from an autocue. As long as he can still do that then thats all that matters to us and his employer. He isn't the PM, and hasn't done anything illegal.

That would be “Bullshitting Boris” and Prevert “Huw Edwards”? Both public figures, both doing bad things.

Re: BBC Presenter Suspended
 
Do you consider sending pictures to someone considerably younger as “perverted”? Really? “Immoral” maybe but “perverted”? Had the person he was communicated with been under 18 then I could see that but there’s nothing to prove that’s taken place.

Not what I’d call “perverted”.
