Serious bit of a witch-hunt over a bit of Grindr action. Not sure if the same level of hoo-ha would have occurred if he was chasin’ female tail but that’s the way it went.
Thoughts and prayers to the chap, now in the psyche ward with a missus googling strap-on kits and pixie cuts to make sure this type of debauchery isn’t repeated with similar consequences.
It seems that Edwards did no more than pay the OnlyFans account or some such of an adult. The Sun framed their reporting to lead the public into thinking he was a paedophile.
It’s hard to think this isn’t linked to politics in some way.
Its quite a common theme from years ago when homophobia was rampant that people would equate being gay to being a paedophile and going after children. More and more this type of attitude is coming back and you can see it in the comments there, lots being utterly homophobic and implying that he is a paedo.
I wonder is there a bit more to this though. If it was a totally above board transaction via a platform like onlyfans I doubt there would have been so much discussion over it since the weekend. Was there a 2nd person to come forward too with complaints?
Maybe I’m wrong to be fair. The optics aren’t good though anyway.
I think the Sun’s reporting is trash but I don’t believe if a BBC make presenter was sexting a 17/18 year old female that a rag like that wouldn’t make it a story.
