It's tradition to close with "An anoymous source informed me ...."

Critics of WFH overlook the health benefits for sex workers.

Rupert Murdoch’s News UK has offered tens of thousands of pounds to the parents who made allegations about Huw Edwards, in return for a television interview, according to sources at the media company.

The Guardian understands that an interview with the couple has been recorded and is being edited for broadcast on TalkTV, the sister station of the Sun. Sources said the parents have been offered a significant sum for this.

Well, that's what the parents told us. See? We got it all on tape.

How on earth can TalkTV justify this?

It might yet turn out that Edwards has engaged in abusive, intimidatory, or even illegal behaviour. None of that takes away from the story so far - that the Sun knowingly published uncorroborated, unfounded allegations against the man accusing him of illegal sexual activity with a child. Others will write about the legal side of case, the subject of journalistic ethics and standards, privacy issues, and the role of social media in forcing his name into the press. But for me, what has been disturbing but clarifying about the affair is what it tells us about the state of sexual toleration in Britain, and how the nation's deep culture of homophobia, long thought to be on the way out, the preserve of a few prudes and bigots, still lies beneath a thin crust of acceptance, just waiting to seep out. Edwards' treatment has been worse than it might have been, and the reason for that is a widespread homophobic anxiety about closeted men.
