Huw Edwards’ mask of dignity has been lifted exposing a sordid and pathetic creep of a man --[Reported by Umva mag]

HUW Edwards was THE face of the BBC — a man who comforted and held the nation’s hand as we mourned the loss of the Queen. It was hard to comprehend that, two years later, Edwards was in the dock being sentenced for the most despicable of crimes.

An air of sadness hung over the court at the fall of such a broadcasting titan and the traditionally boisterous cameramen were distinctly muted.

But there could be no sympathy for Edwards himself because of what he had done.
