Pete. There's fucking up and that's paying for pictures of kids being sexually assaulted.
Yep a very good point
And some have but mostly I just fuck up and hide the shame and self hatred
Ok I accept you don’t think his life is ruinedHis life isn't ruined. He can just carry on living as a millionaire in retirement.
You want people to be gracious to him? Really? I don't care where "he" is safer.
He hasn't made a little mistake. He's a paedo.

People who I know who’ve been in his position lives have been ruined prison or not
Not him we are safer
You’ve not made a huge fuck up in your life?
Political leanings have got nothing to do with it whatsoever.
Can you prove any of it incorrect or are you just crying cos it says things you don’t like?
His life IS ruined. In this country at least.
If he has money of course, that won't stop him living abroad.
But here, he is going to be recognised everywhere he goes. Going to have to live in hiding if he stays.
Wonder how his family are with him now and whether he will be ostracized by them and friends.
Which is exactly it and you work with and socialise with them but you don’t know
Are you seriously telling me the judge wasn't lenient? It's another double standard in the justice system, and a crooked legal representative defending a crooked legal system.
He's got so much wrong in the past, but because he aligns with you politically you'll jump up and down to defend him regardless. It's a bit pathetic, and actually worrying that you'll do so when we're talking about letting off a nonce.
I don't think anyone has a single ounce of sympathy for him.Poor noncey Edwards can't go for a drink down the pub. Poor thing.
It’s got to be part of it thoughCapacity really shouldn’t be a consideration. I can appreciate the theory about first time offenders being less likely to reoffend, but equally the gut feeling from pretty much everyone is that the punishment should be loss of liberty. It’s a tough one. So many sentences seem very low. Rapists and murderers of people I know have had sentences of around 4-5 years, which seems ludicrous for destroying someone’s life.
It does feel, all else being equal, that we’ve swung a little too far towards the data and away from the gut feel of justice and it’s that that gives the system its legitimacy at the end of the day.
What? I’ve said he should have got a custodial sentence.Are you seriously telling me the judge wasn't lenient? It's another double standard in the justice system, and a crooked legal representative defending a crooked legal system.

OkNothing anywhere near that.
Ok
Emetophobia I think it is
Most people have something they’re utterly ashamed of
Come on, most people aren’t downloading images of child porn. It’s not even comparable.Ok

Tbf this is no different to those comparing with the rioters. It's a different flavour, but not similar crimes or similar characters. I'm also not suggesting either or both are wrong ir right, just odd to make comparisons on different crimes.
So long as we keep our imperfections hidden no one can judge us for themWhat's that got to do with the bloke paying to watch a child be abused?
Such a weird take.
No it’s about 2-3%’of the male popluation so probably 8 or 9 on hereCome on, most people aren’t downloading images of child porn. It’s not even comparable.
Galling he was paid after being arrested tooWhat's galling as well is the pay rise he received while he was suspended and he will I'm sure have a nice fat BBC pension to fall back on
I'd disagree. It could be higher, it could be lower, but we're a biased group of mostly men of a certain age who support a football team and post on a forum about it. % are usually, even if accurate, of a random selection. I'd like to think our common interest made that figure lower, but no science to back it up, only that it's skewed in bias.No it’s about 2-3%’of the male popluation so probably 8 or 9 on here

It’s not such a weird take
If it makes you feel better though that’s all good
I must be alright I’ve not paid for child abuse pictures
My point which wasn’t where it started is let’s focus on living our best lives not bemoaning some sad fucker destroying his life and whether he and everyone else guilty of similar stuff should be castrated
Huw Edwards is less dangerous to society getting this sentence than being out in prison that’s the main argument backed up by evidence

I’m not comparing the crimes to be fair, what I’m suggesting is that somewhere in the process whether it is the guidance issued, or the choices of judges/magistrates but it would appear that sitting in a front of some cars on a dual carriageway is a more heinous crime than buying and viewing child pornography.Tbf this is no different to those comparing with the rioters.

It’s a matter of steps Otis it really is if you look at any offending behaviour or seek to understand a little of how it worksThe thing I don't get, is that there is a whole world away, surely, from looking at pictures of young children naked, to that of looking at pictures of young children, being sexually abused and raped.
That's a whole new level of shit isn't it.
So jailing a Just Stop Oil protestor is more effective a sanction than not jailing a sex offender?Or that in those cases a custodial sentence was judged to be more/less effective than in others.
Sentencing isn’t just a list of crimes in order of how much we hate them.
Making it all about him!Why are you sympathising?
"Some sad fucker destroying his life"
The man is a millionaire, his life isn't destroyed. He will just live a quiet retirement.
Lots of people have imperfections, lots make stupid mistakes.
Its miles away from his crime.
While you're making it all about him and how his life is ruined (it's not). What about the victims in the videos he was paying for?
You can’t make it make senseSo jailing a Just Stop Oil protestor is more effective a sanction than not jailing a sex offender?
Make it make sense
