It's not his identity that is in doubt. It is why folk don't trust the police when they say they've investigated and there's nothing to warrant going any further.
no doubt this depression is caused by his hiding true his sexuality for many years just like Michael Barrymore only he took to drink too
so many famous people (and not famous) have married to attempt to be straight Elton John another example
now i suppose hell be on full bbc sick pay for months
I don't think his mental health has been used as an excuse for his actions, just as the think that prompted his wife to release his details to the press.
"I hope his mental health is not going to be the excuse for his behaviour."
one way or another it already is being used...according to his wife...and depression for some time...if no crimes been committed then its a non story and will be forgotten in a week at most...
The Currant Bun though has had a vendetta with the good old blatantly biased clowns for some time , so what they now, may or may not do is anybodys guess, but to all intents and purposes its now a non story...Man with mental health problems pays for xxx pics...Meh...
It’ll all blow over. Who remembers P Schofield’s and Matt Hancock’s indiscretions now? I feel sorry for Edwards’s wife and children.
And the money he wasted. I’d be fuming.
I suspect this one will run for a bit, given the profile of the person concerned: as close as you'll get to BBC royalty, and even if there are no further actions taken, unless it all turns out to be a frame-up, it's all very sleazy.
It will run for a while yet, as in the early days of the story, the young person in receipt of the £35k was reported to be male. Quickly changed to "the young person" and now undiscosed but implications are that its a same-sex affair.
It might not be illegal, but that isn't the point is it. I'm not approving or disapproving but the details are so out of keeping with our idea of someone like HE that I suspect the shockwaves will be around a while
That is all I am saying.
