‘In circumstances like this, the BBC is ponderous at an elephantine level’ – previous BBC reporter
Former BBC reporter Michael Cole has actually talked to Sky News about the method the corporation has actually handled the circumstance because the accusations were initially made about Huw Edwards back in May.

Just 10 days prior to the BBC initially received the grievance, Edwards was the lead analyst, “the voice of the BBC”, at the crowning of the King, Mr Cole mentions.
Now that Edwards’ name has actually been revealed, and the Met Police has actually verified no criminal offense was devoted, the corporation will feel a “good deal of relief that the dam has actually broken, if you will which they can begin to handle it”, the reporter said.
He continued: “In circumstances like this, the BBC is ponderous at an elephantine level. They ought to have responded much previously. Tim Davie ought to have been informed; I do not understand where his wingmen were.
“When somebody makes a claims about your leading star speaker, the face of the BBC, in such supposed situations, you would have believed that the director-general would have been on leading of that. The severity of this cannot be overemphasized.”
