Many people have asked me for my opinion on this subject. Russell Brand has been in court this week facing very
serious criminal charges. He's being prosecuted on seven counts of sexual
impropriety including rape, sexual assault and indecent assault. He has six
accusers, all female, who claim he committed these offences against them between
1999 and 2009. Source: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ck8dz6m1d2n6o.
There has already been a lot of reaction from the commentariat. The feminists
have expressed the predictable mindless outburst of rage; their tirades could
almost write themselves: "LOCK HIM UP! THROW AWAY THE KEY!... He 'Raped!'
a "Woman!'. We know he's guilty because 'Women!' have said so. We do not need a trial!" If it turns out
Brand really did it then, in my view, he is not the only one who needs to be
jailed. He was a part of a media and entertainment industry that probably
harboured him and gave him a sense of entitlement and immunity. We've seen this
process with so many other celebrities. I really don't know if Russell Brand is
guilty or innocent. We've not seen enough of the evidence yet. However, I will
say this much; I am suspicious about how this trouble only came into his life
when he started talking openly about conspiracy theories, for example see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2025/03/icke-vs-brand.html.
That's another familiar pattern that we've seen before with people like Julian
Assange and Roman Polanski, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2010/04/ghost-writer.html
and: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2024/06/assange-is-home.html.
The trial continues.

No comment on his guilt or otherwise. I think historic offences should be prosecuted. Nevertheless there has to be a question mark over a woman's motivation for bringing a case more than 20 years after the event when he was already a public figure at the time. I agree with your assertions and the fact that his politics has changed markedly over time makes a political motivation seem possible.
It has Brett Kavanaugh vibes, doesn't it, MT? Supposing he's innocent and the motives for framing him are political, it sadly would not have been difficult to persuade people to collaborate, seeing as he is very wealthy.
I'm sure I recall the media really advocating Brand's antics in the past. I also recall him being awarded the title "Shagger of the Year" by 'The Sun' newspaper. You see, the MSM condone this type of promiscuous sexual behaviour and then when things go awry there's a public outcry. It's hypocrisy. Not sure if Brand is guilty or not. However, he is kinda creepy & looks like he could harbour a dark side. Yes, he's also moved into the ethereal realm which could have made him a target. This case is a tough one to call, Ben.
Hi Alien1981. I recall his very lewd and vulgar behavior. Most notoriously phoning up Andrew Sachs to brag about bedding his granddaughter. He clearly has a lot of vanity and very few inhibitions. That's a far cry from being a rapist; but, put it this way, I'd never let him near my daughter!
Anyone questioning of the timing of this should really take a look at an injunction granted in 2015 to Russell Brand and his then-girlfriend Jemima Goldsmith against a woman who tried to make allegations against him, which has “shocked every lawyer who’s seen it”. Essentially this was to prevent harassment but in actuality stopped in its tracks her ability to mention the accusations against him to anyone. If you have the money you can prevent many accusations ever getting to court. This is an example of using the power of the state to silence victims. This needs change.
Well that's a lot of power indeed because she was James Goldsmith's daughter. He was the first of the great Brexiteers, before the term existed. But he was a multi-billionaire who lived up to his name! (That's not code for the J-words by the way, before the trolls say anything.)
