Gwynedd shop stops selling The Sun after Huw Edwards allegations

The store made headlines last July after it decided to stop selling The Sun newspaper at its premises following the allegations it published against the BBC news presenter, Huw Edwards.

It followed Mr Edwards being named by his wife as the person at the centre of the allegations made by The Sun that a BBC presenter had paid for sexually explicit photographs.

Mr Edwards was said to be in hospital with serious mental health illnesses.

Owner Dewi Lewis then added to the Post Prynhawn programme on BBC Radio Cymru: “I’ve been selling newspapers for almost half a century and have never taken a decision like this.

“But after the treatment Huw Edwards has had at the hands of The Sun, I now feel that this is the right thing to do.

“I feel that they have destroyed Huw’s reputation, and that it’s time to make the decision not to sell this rag any more.”
