Becoming a bit bored of this "getting cancelled, I didn't do anything wrong" defence when celebrities get accused of serious crimes now.
The Juries still out for you on this I seeA nasty, attention seeking , manipulative, arrogant bastard. Always hated him. I hope he gets 20 years and gets regularly serviced in prison.
It’s safe to say I was never a fan of Mr Brand
Election 2015
In a democracy, a demonstration is a right, however it would be very dangerous for any government of the day to take any notice of it. Would you like to see laws enacted off the back of a Sharia Law for Uk or an EDL march? What? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/cele...side-bank.html Classy...www.skybluestalk.co.uk
I'm just glad to know what Katherine Ryan was banging on about! I wasn't paying much attention, but "both his names are things you do to cattle" now seems very obvious.
Fern Brady too with her "a little rapey wape" thing.
Also interesting to see some of the conspiracy theories, my favourite being "it's a plot by Obama". Of course!
Is social media making people stoopider, or have they always been like this but didn't have a platform?It's to distract from the introduction of the 20mph speed limit in Wales was some take on it.

I mean , obviously there's going to be a trial and everything yes ?
"And I am going to sue you for these lies" were the missing words of his lengthy rant online-which rather suggests that he can't because he would lose. Not sure 4 and the Times would have gone with this so hard unless they thought they were on solid ground?If not, given his wealth, you'd expect him to sue the makers of the documentary.
The metropolitan police have said they've not received any reports based on the allegations against Russell Brand ? Bit weirdIf not, given his wealth, you'd expect him to sue the makers of the documentary.

Edit : just seen they've asked for information from any women who want to come forward .
Your first sentence, and the number of people saying similar, pretty much shows how the media can undermine the justice system.Difficult one to remain fair and open minded about when he's such a dislikable person. Always known for putting it about, imagine some falling over themselves to be with him, but equally can see him being arrogant enough not to like someone saying no to him. Once again though, regardless of proof or evidence, a name that will be forever tarnished even if proved innocent. Not sure how this is still allowed to happen every time. Times becoming tabloid too, but guess it is part of the Murdoch, Sky/Sun.

Doubt Russell is dying tomorrow ... and I'd imagine there's plenty of time to get a conviction if the accusations are trueJust to remind people. Jimmy Saville died an innocent man. Before we go all “no trial no deal”.
There's some absolute garbage being spouted on here about media/journalists.
That's two organisation staking there reputation and risking serious legal action if what they're reporting is untrue. This will have been thoroughly investigated by journalists involved, with heavy involvement from Times and Channel 4 legal departments.
Investigative journalism has a pivotal role to play in society, regardless of many people's new favourite buzz word - fake news. We're talking about exposing people with the influence and power to hush things in their industries and the public eye.
To say they should not be judged by the public prior to being tried in court is absolute rubbish, even if they were arrested without anything being leaked by the press they would still be tried by public opinion well before they ended up in court.
Surely you don’t mean this literally?I happen, unfortunately, to know quite a bit about false allegations. It’s the most traumatic thing that can ever happen to you.
I'd say that being raped, just as an example, is possibly worse.Surely you don’t mean this literally?
Brand has the right to defend himself in court whenever he likes - if these charges are false then he can file defamation suits against Channel 4 and News Corp first thing tomorrow morning.i don’t care who you are, how odious you appear to be, how horrible you come across, you should be able to defend yourself in a court, with all the evidence to hand.
Surely you don’t mean this
So of all the most traumatic things imaginable that you hope never happens to say, your children, being falsely accused of something is top of the list?Yes I do

Justice has to be seen to be done - if it happens in the shadows then the rich and powerful are often free to bully their way out of facing any scrutiny.We have a justice system that demands everyone deserves a fair platform. To say its Ok that it's trial by public is crazy, he is entitled to it as much as you or I. I cant stand him but his name certainly shouldn't be released. If they have evidence present it to the courts, then report on it after the trial.
