Scale of BBC’s negligence and arrogance throughout its handling of Huw Edwards affair is staggering

Shame on BBC

THE scale of the BBC’s negligence and arrogance throughout its handling of the Huw Edwards affair is staggering.

First, the Corporation failed to respond adequately to a complaint about him from the parents of a teenager he showered with cash while exchanging sexual images.

A pay rise for Edwards AFTER his suspension and arrest for having indecent images of children as young as seven has never been explained.

Now BBC Director-General Tim Davie limply says he can do nothing to stop Edwards receiving his gold-plated pension, paid for by licence-fee payers.

Met Police managed to claw back 60 per cent of rapist cop David Carrick’s pot, yet Davie — under pressure to publish a secret internal report into the scandal — insists his hands are tied.

Former BBC staff say Edwards should now do the decent thing and hand back the money. Don’t hold your breath.

The Sun has repeatedly exposed the depth of his moral corruption.

The BBC now finds itself paying a paedophile £300,000 of public money annually to enjoy his retirement.

Ring of ire

THE Paris Olympics has wallowed in wokery since the Opening Ceremony, with a heavy-handed determination to push the agenda of diversity.

In the female boxing ring, though, that concept has been stretched to dangerous limits.

Both Algeria’s Imane Khelif and Taiwanese fighter Lin Yu Ting — who battered her smaller opponent in a bout yesterday — are competing despite disqualification from the World Championships last year for high testosterone levels.

Heavily muscled Algerian Imane Khelif insists she is a woman.

Yet the International Olympic Committee doesn’t appear to have made any real checks — beyond asking to see her passport.

Such casual disregard for female boxers’ safety has been condemned by the International Boxing Association.

This is not just about rank sporting unfairness. The IOC could end up having blood on its hands.

Roar talent

ANOTHER gloriously golden day saw Team GB canter up the medals table, even as high as third at one point.

Our women rowers powered their way to gold, while our showjumpers romped home after another French disaster in the final round.

But it was trampolinist Bryony Page who captured hearts with a smile as broad as the English Channel.

Biologist Bryony is also an expert on dinosaurs. Yesterday she turned Paris into her very own Jurassic Olympic Park.
