Best thing Brand did was the Geico Gecko, otherwise think he's a schmuck. He's done schmucky things, and karma will get him. If he's guilty of a crime then that is for a judge to decide, not me. Interested to see how this plays out though.
Don't like that the accusations aren't coming from the CPS, instead from the media. This is for the cops to do, otherwise it's just making news for the Times to make money off by printing.
"The Sunday Times said it gave Brand eight days within which to reply to detailed allegations"
Russell Brand accused of rape and sexual assault
The comedian and actor denies allegations about his behaviour over a period of seven years - and performs a scheduled gig.www.bbc.com
I am very uncomfortable with what goes on nowadays with accusations and speculation conducted in the media and then the right on band wagon jumpers get involved to make themselves look good.
And hear we are are… James Cleverly pretty much saying that everything being said about Brand is true..

Too many seem to have forgotten that we live in a society where everyone has a right to a fair trial or hearing where all the facts and evidence are presented. What we seem to have now is a free for all for media and people to make criminal and serious allegations and the person at the centre is done and dusted career wise and as a person. The court of public opinion rules via social media in this country.
I have 2 people known to me going through allegations of a serious nature one of which is wholly untrue . What we have now is a climate where there is a free for all that goes unchallenged because everyone is scared to label it as it is for being seen as something themselves.
Believe me , I am seeing it going on live with false allegations and it’s a dangerous place to be at the moment . I have said before how I complained in a clothes shop the other month because the only changing rooms available were female and I found myself queuing to go into a small area with women and teenage girls. No way was i going to put myself in that situation.
A video by The Times came up on my YouTube feed so I clicked on it. There was a panel of three "journalists" discussing Brand's situation. They concluded that he was guilty because all women must be believed because it's so hard to come forward with rape allegations.
One of the "journalists" said that all women have experienced this kind of harassment. Nobody challenged that.
It's just bizarre.
This.The way he talks, it’s like he has swallowed a thesaurus but didn’t bother to use a dictionary to understand what the words he uses actually mean.
It think its very important to note that Brand and co. are trying to position this as he said she said. There is an enormous amount of evidence and it seems highly likely this is all true. The man dated Geldoffs daughter when she was 16 and he was in his late 20s or early 30s. That is enough for me.
There is medical evidence, texts, interviews as well as the coordinated effort of the investigation tying together the history of things that happened during his employment and work elsewhere.
We know most women don't. It'll be an interesting few weeks to see if it gathers more steam. Its an investigation over a long period of time, I don't think you put this much effort into it just to cancel him.Why didn't the women go to the police then?

This.Every single person who reports a crime like this should be listened to and it should be heavily investigated. There is a big difference between heavily investigated and then automatically believed. Evidence dictates truth, nothing else.
