So the finance dept head of the BBC should pay back a staff member's salary when they had been convicted of no offence? Brilliant. Let's hope you aren't falsely accused and still have a mortgage to pay off Chris.

All true Chris.
The next stage is the "disgraced Huw" and the endless paparazzi shots of him going to the supermarket or passing a school that is 30 minutes and 5 miles away as though a convicted person no longer has the right to privacy and a life.
Just as Rolf Harris was hounded by a hideous British gutter tabloid mentality.
All pandering to a ghastly populace that believe their lives were rooned by immigrants or Muslims and it's all the likes of Huw's fault.

If I was Huw Edwards there's not a chance I'd pay that money back. His reputation is now in the gutter beyond redemption anyway so what does some bad publicity about him keeping a couple of hundred grand amount to, not much on top of the ruination of his whole reputation.

Some daft self appointed "media commentator" actually suggested that the historical programmes that Edwards fronted for the BBC such as his announcement of the Queen's passing, should be AI generated to remove his face as the presenter and replaced with another acceptable face of the BBC instead as if he never actually did the historic broadcasts he did. What is this madness?
Perhaps the next BBC General ELection night can be fronted by AI avatars of Richard Dimbleby and Cliff Michelmore at this rate.
I wish that both World Wars had never happened but simply erasing them from all history books, TV shows and historical record so nobody can read about them wouldn't change the fact they did actually take place and affect hundreds of millions.
I can't stand the man but the always dubbed over Gerry Adams real voice for many years.
There was other news outlets who made the announcement about the Queens death but the BBC would need to pay a licence. Quite ironic really.

And it would also deny us the opportunity to learn from the wars.
