Brand - Guilty verdict

[WhyamIinahandcartandwherearewegoing]

Anyone surprised???

So his pretending to be a Christian didn't do the trick then? Did he really think that 'converting to Christianity' would make people think he was a good person?

Glad he's been found guilty. Horrible man. 😖

Thank you to all the brave women that came forward and put this dangerous man behind bars.
The victims that didn’t get the guilty verdicts today are in my thoughts, we all know what he did to them! May they all find peace and closure through what will hopefully be a very lengthy custodial sentence for him!

Yep! Great name Barry!

We all know its more dangerous to be outside when it gets dark.

No .

I'm glad to hear this. I hope it's a lengthy sentence.

Good. Glad he didn't get away with it.

They're playing Katy Perry on R1. He was a shit to her.

I was about to post something similar!

BBC reckon double figures.

I think that was more about ingratiating himself with people who he felt might have been able to shield him in some way. The Tate brothers are grovelling to Trump, Mar-a-lago appears to regularly host all sorts of right-wing loonies and ne'er-do-wells who have hit the buffers.

He has properties abroad, so although he should have been remanded prior to sentencing in any case, I wouldn't be shocked to find out there was a train of thought that had him absconding prior to sentencing and then throwing himself at the feet of the Christofascists in the US.

I was going to say the same - hopefully this is the tip of the iceberg and more women will now come forward

Im not going to derail the thread on this one.

LB’s Dad? Like she’s some vulnerable adult that needs caring for by the family patriarch? Ffs. She might be an autonomous woman who has been making choices? She may decide to stand by him?

Why is a narrative taking root that she’s some sort of victim and doesn’t have agency?

I read that his eldest child had their 10th birthday yesterday, so I do feel for the three of them. Admittedly the situation is no different to the children of anyone sent to prison in one sense, but it's still sad for his family.

I hope his wife can see through the very odd religious fog surrounding him soon, although she had a supporter praying next to her in court today so I guess she's fairly deep into whatever it is.

The trial has brought up things for me, which is why I think I have wanted to follow it and not follow it at the same time. Basically two things which happened decades ago at work and a family gathering which would now be classed as serious but I felt I had to laugh off at the time. I would never put myself through a trial but might seek some kind of talking therapy.

Revolting man.

I feel so sorry for his children. They'll go through hell at school.

He's obviously got issues.

Good. Vile creature.
Never like him not since the Andrew Sachs 'joke.'
Rocky that.

He's been remanded in custody with the promise of a considerable sentence.

It's mandatory for rape so he will, the tariff is either 4-9 years or 7-12 I would assume this one would be the upper tariff and that's without the sentences for the other offences.

It would be the CPS not the jury I think.

Maybe, but remember all the women, as well as men, who said only Daily Mail types were upset about his "prank" with Ross?
He was held up as an icon for my age group. Worrying.

He should get at least 30 years. And he should receive no special protection in prison, put him in general population with the the other lags.

I don't think Brand assaulted any woman walking alone at night - he was much more into using his position and his celebrity to assist in his assaults.

I hope they the booky wook at him, the fucking beast.

Excellent—now for the orange rapist running America.
