Oh.
Anything to do with a telephonic implement, per chance?

I think you'll find that Mr Edwards was doing something in his private life that the BBC knew little, or nothing, about where as Mr Jenas sent an inappropriate text to a colleague and that colleague complained to her employer (The BBC). I have little knowledge of Mr Edwards behaviour nor have I seen any of the texts that Mr Jenas may, or may not, have sent but, I believe, the two situations are completely different. |

Like the BBC didn’t know anything about Jimmy Saville? Sorry but my confidence on the way the BBC deals with issues is next to nothing. Apparently Huw even got a pay rise while he was suspended. |

Pretty sure that is standard practice until the investigation is complete and the rulings are confirmed. |

Surely you're not comparing Jimmy Saville with Huw Edwards and/or Jermaine Jenas? |

Surely you're not comparing Jimmy Saville with Huw Edwards and/or Jermaine Jenas? Yes because they worked for a public service broadcaster who is paid by us, the taxpayer. The BBC failed miserably how they handled Jimmy Saville and I feel they could’ve handed Huw Edwards a lot better. They should’ve stopped his payment let alone give him a pay rise while suspended! I agree what the BBC have done with Jermaine Jenas and I suspect a lot more is going to come out with this but it’s just inconsistency with the BBC when both the other two were more serious. |

Aren’t there non-public funded areas of the BBC? I thought some of it was actually its own commercial company? It’s why they sometimes don’t share salaries etc if certain presenters as they aren-art of the commercial side?
I may be wrong on that. I’m not disagreeing with you btw.
Are there normal celebs out there nowadays? Seems everyone is a wrong-un atm
