At this point, what are you actually on about? I'm saying that you should decide what is true by going on your own experience and logic rather than accepting what the papers, the Government or even the courts tell you is true. I don't watch TV. All I know about Brand is that he claims he has had sex with hundreds or even thousands of women. If that is true then if he is very rough with women or even raping them then you would expect far more complainants to have come forward by now.

Got a feeling this one has legs and will turn out to be true , it’s been put better by another poster but the thing that throws a bit of smoke is the motivation for going after him now and the motivation for allowing him the space to do what he was doing at the time ,, perhaps even cheer him on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The credence the pitchfork carriers on here give to articles in the papers is shocking. If you have ever read an article about someone or something you know very well then you find that the article is usually full of errors and lies. You should assume that all the other articles are just as inaccurate. These articles are the result of four years of investigations. Now that Rupert has finally retired, Times wouldn't risk his pension on an expensive lawsuit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would the government get involved in this when Brand is at the moment legally guilty of nothing? Dinenage said Brand was promoting "inappropriate behaviour".

Nine women accused him of assaulting them. He had as many accusers as Brand and yet he was found innocent. In court it turned out that there seemed to be coordination in the actions of his accusers.

"A Scottish government inquiry upheld five complaints of sexual harassment against Alex Salmond, sparking the police investigation that led to his eventual prosecution.

RoyMac5 Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Just now, Normanton Lad said: From the same article : "In January 2019, a judge threw out the inquiry report after it emerged the official investigating the complaints had had prior contact with the complainants."

Exactly. But the final point: "The inquiry results were annulled and Evans’s report was withheld from the Holyrood investigation. The Scottish government argues, however, that Ms A and Ms B’s allegations could still be reinvestigated." That is how difficult it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 I read many years ago that Brand was gay. He's also related to many branches of British nobility, right up to the Royal Family. It will be interesting to see what happens in court. My cynicism tells me it will never go to court and its all a false flag story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 I think the media coverage has to have an impact on the justice Brand gets in any subsequent court proceedings. He has been declared guilty by the media and any juror is likely to be swayed by that. I have no idea what the truth is but I hope true justice is served. I also think there are a lot of men guilty of the crimes he is accused of. That doesn’t make his behaviour any more acceptable, but there are definitely double standards at play in all of this.

ramit Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 This has the earmarks of a hit job. I don't agree with Watson that it's a left-right issue, he has his horse to flog, but he makes strong points in this video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
