Russell Brand's a naughty boy

[Easy-X]

In case you've been living under a rock:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-66835997

And in other news, Baron Victor von Frankenstein has issued a press statement:

"I'm looking into reports that a monster may have entered the village and killed several people. Let me assure you that the castle staff and I are taking this matter very seriously."

I've always thought he was an utter cunt, so this doesn't really surprise me.

It would be impossible for him to fall any further in my esteem () and, who can say they are surprised that his “encounters” were numerous, grubby and sometimes non-consensual.

Once again however, this raises the issue of why this sort of predatory behaviour is tolerated and enabled by those around him. Even he himself boasted that he’s been transparent about his proclivities in his autobiographies and public interviews.

People are asking why no prosecution, no conviction in a court of law? Well you only have to look at the report/prosecution/conviction rates for rape and sexual assault to see why women are reluctant to press charges, and if they live in London, let’s face it, the Met Police are a shelter for rapists, paedos and pervs. So where can they go to be believed and have their voices heard?

So the trial by media thing works to a degree by shining a spotlight on sleazy, criminal behaviour. He’s finished as far as mainstream outlets are concerned.

He’s smart though. He knew this was coming and built up his online channels and media businesses. His defenders are legion and will continue. He’s wealthy, he’s got millions of followers. I’m guessing that apart from stern looks from elderly shoppers in Waitrose, his life will carry on as before. Depressing.

Sorry but I don't trust the creator of a problem to investigate the problem honestly. All the enablers in the MSM will disappear in the wind.

Can't disagree, never liked the smarmy twat..

It comes as no surprise that he took advantage of a vulnerable teenager in a most immoral way... thing is did he actually break the law?

This revenation will do nothing change my viewing or listening habits* with regard to Russel Brand.


*To paraphrase a viz magazine cartoon strip, I'd rather stand in a barrel of scorpions up to my neck while Janet Street-Porter shrieks in my ear.

Don't like him never have, but it strikes me how hard it must be to get
to the truth 20 years after an event.
Why wait so long? that makes it a 'he said she said' affair.
It appears he's being primarily tried by the media (C4) not the police
and I have little trust in the media to give me un-filtered/biased truth nowadays.

From what I've read on the BBC the girl 'Alice' doesn't come across as a credible witness. She admits carrying on with the liasons in spite of her mother's diapproval, so was it seems she was keen at the time but now not so much.

Brand's behavior at that time was highly reprehensible but not at present illegal, although the giris now calling for a law to be changed so that only under 18s can have bed fun with other under 18s (well 16-18s).

In short I'm not sure what this expose is all about. We already knew Brand is an egotistical smarmty twat, he even wrote a book about it/himself and his 'sex addiction'..

I'm disappointed with the BBC because they gave a fucknugget like that air time in the first place. Sexual indiscretions nothwithstanding. I formed the oppinion he was an irredeemably annoying twat the first time I ever saw him and have turned him off any time I've seen or heard him since.

He's the sort of person who'd make me walk out of a bar and go somewhere else if he was there drinking with his mates, even if I'd never seen or heard of him before. You'd never tire of grabbing his affectatious hair and slamming his stupid face against the bar until he shut up. I wouldn't want to go to jail over the likes of him because I bet it would take a lot of slamming to actually make him shut up.

The thing with Brand is I can totally believe he could act like that.
Thats not to say he's guilty but it wouldn't surprise me as he always
seemed to be full of shit/himself.( like Jimmy Saville)
Like others I could only take enough of him get to the remote or
mouse over the twat.
I'm aware he set himself up as an authority on everything on the interweb but could never bear to watch/listen to see if anything made sense.

On a related note I'm glad Kevin Spacey was exonerated.
Always liked him as an actor and wouldn't have given a shit
even if he had grabbed someguys cock/arse in a pub.
Redeeming qualities see?

The striking thing is he's supposed to be a (relatively) reformed character now but I've seen him interview people - where one is meant to be a gracious host - and you can sense the ego raging to be let loose and totally dominate the conversation. And that's just the public face

Proof (if proof were needed) that this is a 21^st Century lynching:

Oh but he's a working class hero saving the grease munching lottery ticket buying hard-put-upon from themselves, using YouTube... It's obvious it's a stitch-up! Haha
As usual, Johnny Rotten called it first, and years ago.

Someone told me he was making £100,000 a month off that crap he posts on you tube.
