“As he handed down the sentence, the chief magistrate said he accepted evidence that Edwards had no recollection of viewing the indecent images due to his mental health issues at the time of the offences.

The court heard from a forensic psychosexual therapist that there was a “tangible risk” of suicide as Edwards, who is currently an inpatient at the private Nightingale mental health hospital in London, “considers that his family situation may be improved if he was not alive”.
Social media’s fault !! Gtf

The report went on to claim that social media had allowed Edwards, who had “managed” his sexual attraction to men since 1994, to “re-engage” with those desires and “boost his fragile self-esteem”.

The court also heard from a consultant psychiatrist who said Edwards was a “complex” individual who had a “particularly challenging” relationship with his father.

The court heard that a “restricted, puritanical but often hypocritical background of growing up in a particular cultural milieu of south Wales with a father who was highly regarded and lauded outside the family, but was perceived as behaving monstrously within the family, created both an enduring cognitive dissonance and low self-esteem”.

The court heard that this had been “compounded by a sense of being inferior by not getting into Oxford and going to Cardiff instead, and being therefore something of an outsider at the BBC”

You know when you hear the term cognitive dissonance some pathetic excuse is in the offing. Wonder if he had attachment issues as well?

And retires on a BBC pension of circa £300k a year...

The whole set-up stinks to the high heavens.He should've been imprisoned according to the guidelines and without the sentence being suspended.Anyone who is imprisoned is surely capable of taking their own life behind bars,they're making out he's in some way unique because of his mental health issues,how many others imprisoned fit that mould.?

I was totally shocked when I saw the suspended headline, totally gob smacked. Ridiculous. I hope it gets appealed / reviewed as too lenient.

steal a sausage roll 3 years….*****….go home to your comfortable house. I’m fuming

Unfortunately, if everyone in west Europe who was caught in possession of cat A pictures was imprisoned for the first offence, there would be around 700,000 more ppl in prison. The crime rates are off the scale for this offence.

It's a bullshit, homophobic excuse for mitigation from his barrister. The vast majority of gay and straight men manage to not pay to download child rape videos, irrespective of their upbringing or culture. He got prosecuted for viewing the worst category of child abuse and this has nothing to do with his sexuality. He knew it was wrong and did it anyway.

Lovely man, a pillar of society until his little faux pax (including violent class A child porn abuse images). Six months suspended sentence from a very understanding judge who is only too aware of Huw's delicate fragile state. Not like that mobile phone robber we talked about yesterday, now classed as insane following 12 years in the clinker with no date for release determined...deserves everything he got. I hope Huw will be back on the telly soon, all forgiven for his playful pecadillos. Lovely man I say again.

Bit boring, and in my opinion ****ing maddening, but this Twitter thread explains why the sentence Edwards got wasn’t unexpected and was likely given the sentencing guidelines.

Those guidelines need changing.

Rather than people thinking he’s had special treatment (other than the fact his mitigation has been far better presented due to his financial resources, than most criminals get) there should be a serious discussion about whether the guidelines are right because there will be many, many, more perverts getting similar sentences outside the glare of publicity.

If this case causes that than great, but it’s not some ‘two tier…look at the people posting online’ argument. It’s judges broadly following setting guidelines that are clearly wrong.

Reactions: What? A full dog? and Shabby Tiger
While walking down the street one day a Member of Parliament is tragically hit by a truck and dies. His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance. 'Welcome to heaven,' says St. Peter. 'Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you.' 'No problem, just let me in,' says the man. 'Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we'll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity.' 'Really, I've made up my mind. I want to be in heaven,' says the MP. 'I'm sorry, but we have our rules.' And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he went down, down, down to hell. The doors open and he found himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him. Everyone is very happy and dressed in evening dress. They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people. They played a friendly game of golf and then dined on lobster, caviar and champagne Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly & nice guy who has a good time dancing and telling jokes.They are having such a good time that before he realizes it's time to go. Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and wave whilst the elevator rises.... The elevator rises and the door opens in heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him. 'Now it's time to visit heaven. 24 hours pass with the MP joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns. 'Well, then, you've spent a day in hell and another in heaven. now choose your eternity.' The MP reflects for a minute, then he answers: 'Well, I would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell.' So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. When the doors open he's in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage. He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above. The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulder. ' I don't understand,' stammers the MP. 'Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, danced and had a great time. Now there's just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened? The devil looks at him, smiles and says, 'Yesterday we were campaigning - Today you voted, now you know how the UK people feel’.

The Daily Sport used to do interviews like this and publish them - such as "I married my horse", "Aliens kidnapped me" and "my crisp looks like Jesus". It seems that the Independent is now publishing this ****.

'Antonia Harrison, was the leading English Hypnotherapist & NLP Coach/Practitioner in Belgium for six years'

There is no scientific evidencesupporting the claims made by NLP advocates, and it has been called a pseudoscience.[8][9][10] Scientific reviews have shown that NLP is based on outdated metaphors of the brain's inner workings that are inconsistent with current neurological theory, and that NLP contains numerous factual errors.[7][11] Reviews also found that research that favored NLP contained significant methodological flaws, and that there were three times as many studies of a much higher quality that failed to reproduce the claims made by Bandler, Grinder, and other NLP practitioners.[9][10]
