Just breaking on Sky News that Brand has been charged with a number of rapes and sexual offences. Good.
I hope his victims are feeling vindicated and supported.

"“Now listen, dear interlocutors of the infinite internet ether, before the Twitterati commence their collective fulmination, allow me to elucidate this most labyrinthine of misunderstandings with my customary cocktail of linguistic gymnastics and metaphysical musing. I have, it appears, been once again ensnared in the baroque bureaucratic balderdash of institutional intrigue – a veritable Kafkaesque carnival wherein my every utterance is dissected with the forensic zeal of a Victorian mesmerist examining the ectoplasm of moral panic.

Let it be known, amidst this cacophony of cancel culture and the inquisitorial eye of public opinion, that I remain as innocent as a freshly lactated vegan oat milk latte, steeped in the froth of social consciousness and sprinkled with the cinnamon of misunderstood intention.

So I shall, like Prometheus unshackled from the rock of recrimination, continue my peregrinations through the podcastosphere, disseminating truths and transcendence, whilst being pursued by metaphorical eagles hungry not for my liver, but for likes, retweets, and moral superiority. Namaste and carry on.”"

Wait, this is parody, right?

He was always a fucking slimey, smarmy, up his own arse….would eat himself if he was chocolate… messy haired creep imo. Never ever saw the fuss over him
when he was in every news article back in the day. shudder

Good. Awful man…

StanleyCrocs · 04/04/2025 15:38

He is currently in the US though..

I imagine he will be turned into some kind of folk hero there and Trump will refuse to extradite him.

That was my worry too!

RosaMoline · 04/04/2025 15:46

He’s been photographed at Mar a Lago recently with RFK 🙄

Gall10 · 04/04/2025 15:46

If he goes to prison (🤞) at least he might get a good wash….always looks like a skanky slob to me!

Oh absolutely - it'll be all 'The evil anti-freedom British government is targeting this brave Christian truth speaker' (who conveniently got into the lucrative right-wing Christian grift game after people started talking about him being a rapist)

Lampzade · 04/04/2025 15:51

Just put it this way
It is not a coincidence that he pissed off to the US and suddenly became anti woke’ and MAGA having been a die hard liberal for many years
He knew what he was doing ..

Best not to comment on live proceedings.

People can and will comment on what they like....

Sunflowerhoneybee · 04/04/2025 16:03

I remember him doing an interview on This morning circa 2010 talking about his "sex addiction"....
Made me cringe and shudder simultaneously....yuck.
Little creep.

TENSsion · 04/04/2025 16:04

I feel so sad for all the women caught up in this. The victims, his wife, his mum, his daughters.

Wittow · 04/04/2025 16:07

This is all from before he got sober. I do think he was different then. I think the RB in recovery is a reformed character. But clearly his past is catching up with him.

Mumtobabyhavoc · 04/04/2025 16:08

He's always been so cringey.🤮

Wittow · 04/04/2025 16:10

Does anyone know if you can be charged via zoom? If he's currently abroad, how has this happened?

DoNoTakeNo · 04/04/2025 16:11

Good.

I am only repeating what is on the news. I am not speculating on the case.

By mentioning the word victims there is the implication that the matter alleged has been proved.

That is for the court to decide.
This is now a live case.
We must not make any prejudicial comment.
See the
Contempt of Court Act 1981. Sect 1
The strict liability rule.

'Brand has been told to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on 2 May, but he is believed to be in the United States.
In these situations, where a suspect may be overseas, prosecutors seek to agree the defendant's return. If there is no co-operation from a suspect, authorities then consider seeking extradition.'

And also in that BBC article:

'"The Crown Prosecution Service reminds everyone that criminal proceedings are active, and the defendant has the right to a fair trial. It is extremely important that there be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings."'

Do you not think you and MN is bound by the law ?

SirRaymondClench · 04/04/2025 16:13

I never forget Lauren Harries whom RB was slagging off and laughing about until LH produced the receipts that they'd slept together on a few occasions.
RB shut up pretty quickly then.

B1indEye · 04/04/2025 16:15

Yuck, slimy individual

No you’re not. You’re talking about ‘vindication’ for his ‘victims’.

Seriously, this is an active case and the point of contempt laws are to prevent prejudicing a trial. If you wish to see a trial reach a conclusion, posts like this are not helpful.
