Having just watched Channel 4 news I actually feel sorry for Brand. I’m not a fan either. I do feel strongly that unless he’s actually convicted of a crime this is allegation at present and shouldn’t be the main news story or even in the news at all, as it will potentially undermine any proper investigation of which I don’t think there was any mention as whether there even is one.

    Amazing that not one single Epstein pedo client has been arrested let alone charged, but Russell Brand is about to get both barrels 🤷‍♀️

    Wasily as it will potentially undermine any proper investigation of which I don’t think there was any mention as whether there even is one.

    There is not, and seems unlikely to be when the accusers have conveniently chosen to remain anonymous and no official complaints have been filed.

    The rape accusation in the US will also probably be outside the statute of limitations.

    The BBC article states that:

    “The Sunday Times said all the women felt ready to speak only after being approached by reporters.”

    Which sounds quite “predatory” in itself - some reporters were keen for a story and did what they could to find and create one.

    It’s not very difficult to see when the aims aren’t “justice” but slander.

      Can’t see him lasting long in the shovel.
      💀

      The conversation with Brand & Saville…. WTF.

      Wasily I feel quite similar tbh. I have never been a fan of the bloke, but I am surprised that this can be aired before any criminal proceedings are even raised?

      Whether any of it is true or not, his mainstream career is over. Just seems bizarre how this is being publicised

          There’s some melodrama in the Times masquerading as journalism though.

          FUCKING BUUUURRRRRN HIM 🔥🔥🔥

            Back on the scag for Russ, he’s up to his neck in it. Sending cars to pick little girls up?

            gcw Whether any of it is true or not, his mainstream career is over.

            Two things on this - firstly even the attitude of assuming that mere accusations will be enough to wreck a career is part of the problem; such a chain of thinking should not be normalised.

            Second, Brand has spent recent years being very critical of mainstream media anyway, so such days were probably already in the past. I do wonder if this story was intended as a bit of revenge for that by some.

              Brand has always been a sex pest and his behaviour has been indulged and excused by the mainstream media over many years. The question is why now?

                alistair Building up enough evidence as to form a watertight case.

                    What’s the difference between someone who has sex with lots of people and a “sex pest”?
