[Dougal Maguire]

This issue needs to be discussed here rather than the thread it's currently being discussed on

And now he's pulled the Mental Health Card. Fcuk right off.
He's a right proper coward.

[Capt Pat]

Some fall from grace for Huw Edwards. He was held in very high regard by many.

I thought it was going to be the gay presenter from Cork when the scandal first broke.

That is the next question I want answered. Was it a male or a female he was involved with

[Will it ever end]

If it's been confirmed there's no case to answer by the police - what's the issue here? Surely a private matter between his family which appears complicated at the very least but nonetheless private.

The S*n will hopefully end up being the big losers out of all of this.

[Capt Pat]

The age of consent in the UK is 16 but that still doesn't mean it is ok for someone of Edwards age to be taking up with 17 year olds.

[supersub]

Another gutter stunt by an absolute rag of a publication.

These things are never "private matters" when you are "famous"

I thought the issue was that it was Illegal to ask or to get pics of U-18's.
The age gap alone ffs.

It is illegal but apparently they weren't 17 when they were sent.. Police said there's no case so must have been when the victim/other party was 18.

[Kidder81]

Illegal or otherwise a bit of a sick puppy and another Philip Schofield, all we will hear in the coming days is how brave he is but not a word about the family he has put through the wringer

[Milltown Row2]

I'm sure Schofield is feeling less pressure too, which, with his mental health, is a good thing

[Baile Brigín 2]

So the Sun who paid 16 year olds to pose topless ran a story about seedy, but completely legal, shenanigans and destroyed the chap. Yippee

[AustinPowers]

The arse is Really  being ripped out of  the mental health card . It's like the boy  who cried wolf . Somebody up to no good, caught with their trousers down , or whatever shenanigans  they participate in, and then it's  ...."oh my mental health . 

Schofield did it.  Said he now understood how that woman Fleck felt . More or less , telling the press "back off", because I'm teetering on the edge , and if I top myself ,  it'll be your fault for hounding/exposing me.

THe people  who genuinely have mental health problems  will be the  real sufferers in the long run . Because the mental  health card will be played so much , that  nobody will take it seriously  even when someone is genuinely suffering
