Edwards owes no duty of care to anyone else, that much is true, and I'll be clear about the fact that I have no doubt whatsoever that his own mental state right now is likely through the floor, he absolutely requires respite and care, and I'm in no way surprised this is the outcome after the events since the weekend. So he's done nothing more than be mean to someone on a dating app. I don't think that in any way justifies having his personal life made public in the way that it has been. Why I'm angry, is that he, or his wife, could simply have admitted that he is the person at the centre of this without having to make any mention of his mental state. In fact, I can't for the life of me understand why he would want that in public domain, because as much as it may well paint him in a more sympathetic light, it's just going to yet again create more and more stigma and misconception about what mental illness is, how it affects individuals, how it affects their behaviours, and no, it doesn't in any way excuse any of his behaviours, so it does scream of 'poor me/I'm the real victim here' anyway, in exactly the same way Schofield's vomitous routine did in the aftermath of his fall from grace. It's not about you or your advocacy group though, it's about someone falsely (at the time of writing, who knows what could come out further) accused of being a paedophile by the national press. It is mental to the point of sociopathy to suggest that it's unfair to others to mention the effect this has had on their mental health. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall at any point there was ever any assertion that there was a paedophile involved, merely that someone had been acting inappropriately with someone much their junior, and that it possibly began when the junior person was 17, meaning the exchange of photographs would have been a criminal offence unless there was substantive proof of a meaningful relationship between the two. The police are seemingly satisfied this wasn't the case, but that doesn't mean there hasn't been a completely inappropriate element to the relationship, or an abusive of power. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Khaki Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 7 minutes ago, throbber said: I think people criticising Huw for “playing the mental health card” are doing this because they are comparing it to the Schofield case. Let’s just remind ourselves that Schofield actually had an affair with a young man who he had been hanging about with since he was a child and who he had used his influence to get the young man into a good job. He also fabricated a nonsense “coming out story” on air when the lid was nearly blown on the entire thing a few years ago which treated the general public like mugs (not the only time he did that). And then finally not only did he play the mental health card he used someone else’s suicide as an example to get the media and the public to back off him. Huw has actually done nothing that there is any evidence of yet other than speak to other adults on dating apps. All of this media speculation could send anyone into a nervous breakdown. Yes, in fairness, it is a significantly different set of circumstances. Again, I admit I'm quite possibly more prone to becoming angered at the introduction of 'mental health' because of my background than I should be, but I do think that if anything, it serves to highlight how genuinely toxic individuals like Schofield attempting to excuse themselves by claiming a mental health crisis does actually undermine and toxify that for people who may well genuinely be in the grip of one. His bringing up Caroline Flack did incense me, because he didn't seem to be aware that he was citing someone who was herself a known toxic abuser. It's a standard routine of abusive individuals to claim mental health breakdown, suicidal intent etc etc when they are finally confronted, which is why I'm always on high alert for it happening, and why I'm always sceptical. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've reached the stage of saying it's not ok for his wife to mention he is in a mental health facility because it wasn't exactly paedophilia but a different form of underage sexual abuse of which he was falsely accused then I don't think there's much point continuing to discuss it tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it was monumentally significant that Schofield either 1. Is so narcissistic that he doesn't even recognise abusive behaviours in other individuals 2. Absolutely does and does not care, hence citing Flack, or 3. Genuinely thinks there is no element to the Flack story beyond the tragic suicide of a persecuted individual. Regardless of the reality, if it's any sort of combination of those, it paints a really unsavoury picture of PS himself. Armchair psychiatry here, but I suspect he would absolutely meet the criterion for a diagnosis of both NPD and Psycopathy, based on both the behaviour throughout the years-long saga, and the histrionics after being unmasked.

ICTChris Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Caroline Flack didn’t nonce anyone. She also didn’t batter her boyfriend with a lamp, the Met police leaked photos of her bedsheets soaked with blood after she self harmed and the Sun published them as if the blood was from her boyfriend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
