    The Spin

    The BBC is shocked to hear of Huw Edward's crimes. The BBC condemns such behavior and, as internal policy mandates, had the former presenter still been employed by the corporation following the verdict his contract would've been immediately terminated. The BBC strives to uphold the highest standards of integrity, and has throughout these events allowed its independent editorial team the freedom to scrutinise and inform to the best of its capabilities.

    While talk Huw Edward's uncomfortable relationship with younger staffers had existed for some time, the long-time face of the BBC's admission of possessing child pornography has left the UK in a state of shock. Edward's crimes will once again reopen questions surrounding the BBC's current culture and future existence as he becomes yet another high-profile employee to be an exposed paedophile.
