BBC presenter Huw Edwards suspended over paying for sexual pics.

For a bulletin board who members often go out of their way to decry celebrity culture, it's amusing that threads like this rocket to multiple pages in a couple of days (see also Schofield etc), whilst others on the war in Ukraine and other politics remain relatively quite.

The transformation from U75 to Mumsnet, continues apace!

Same with the Guardian/Guardian readers. Whilst snootily analysing celeb culture they are also obsessed with it. Liberals innit.

Not sure that's true.

I remember when the war in Ukraine started there were 100s of posts and numerous threads started that first few days. Many posters still post on those threads.

 

[two sheds]

The multiple Ukraine threads are quiet? That's patently not true. Weird assertion.

You're fooling yourself, the 43,000 posts and 900,000 odd views of the threads in the Ukraine threads given their own forum are dwarfed, dwarfed I tell you by the 360 posts on this thread.

 

[belboid]

The main Ukraine thread has only a dozen or so fewer posts on it than this one in the same time period. Spy is talking out of his arse.

I couldn’t keep up with the Ukraine one at first so it was pointless posting on it.

Hang on, I am a wanky fucking liberal and I don’t know who 90% of these so called celebs are…

Discussing a big news story hardly the same as keeping up with the Kardashians.

Ukraine is usually three people arguing for days with a single person who insists the Russians are winning tbf

You just clicked on a thread called

Aye. I guess something needs to happen to fill the void until the next series of Celebrities in The Jungle

And yet, here you both are.

 

[WouldBe]

Just had a quick twotter peek.
And the name that's being bandied about is quite a surprise
....would have thought they were more into queen lizzy lookalikes.

Won't mention any names etc...

Didn't know JRM worked for the BBC.

 

[Tanya1982]

I rarely do it. I was just wondering why someone would think it appropriate to suggest I take my ten year old to a penis museum. I thought it was a wind up.

I didn’t.

Your reference to cheese made no sense to me.

Fuck you.

 

[Spymaster]

And yet, here you both are.

I'm only here for the spat between you and Tanya, and to wind belboid up.

 

[Tanya1982]

Internet tradition, innit.

I still think that was a real shame. It’s not attractive, but he did nothing illegal or even just wrong. He was treated like dirt after it. From memory, I think the worst thing he did was call Wendy Richards a cow - I’m sure I recall commentary along the lines of ‘he can be a sleaze in his own time but my god, poor Pauline, she should be a beloved colleague - let him never see the light of day again’.

Is this fun?

Is it?

?

Nope.

meh.

Didn’t the mum claim to have seen the presenter on a sofa in his keks though?

What a shame for you. Maybe your attention span would improve if you weren’t up after midnight...

Well, there was the murder and the Yewtree allegations too.

Phew, cor, look at this, whatzappen'd, watzappen'd?

This will be my only contribution to this thread. Another thread will be created when there's another 'cor, look at this' etc.

 

[brogdale]

Wot?

 

[Tanya1982]

Well, there was the murder and the Yewtree allegations too.

The murder was known and he’d served his sentence. It’s horrible, but you either believe in rehabilitation or you don’t. If he’s not allowed to work after serving his time then what’s the point. I don’t remember him being linked with Yewtree stuff.

He was dead by then but supposedly very credible accusation of abuse from one victim and more suspected.

As a seasoned wind up merchant you know full well what brings all the posters to the yard. It's not the subject in hand but the calamity that unfolds whilst the community considers it's position. There has never been much more than a fag paper beween us and mumsnet
