Would you go to the police knowing what we all know and how it seems to be that his like are protected? Or would you take a bat to his body knowing that you might do a sentence but your daughter won't be victimised by him or the justice system? I'd be wearing the overalls with arrows . Yes innocent until proven guilty when justice works and the legal system protects. But as evident its been shown to rally round the criminal in these cases. And what if it later transpired that your daughter made it up and it was actually one of Brand's mates? You've just taken a bat to the wrong person. That's why we have a judicial system and not pitchfork mobs. **Disclaimer: I think he's a wrong'un and needs locked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cade Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Dispatches spent 4 years gathering evidence before releasing the programme and making the accusations public. And having to work around Brand's super injunction all that time. Which is considerably more time and effort than the Police would have spent investigating the matter if it had been reported directly to them. Now Dispatches can hand off all their evidence to the Police in a neat file. They've done the hard work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not in Shaun Attwoods camp where he's convinced of that. But I am not on the hang him side either minus conviction and charges. I dont judge by what's in the media, I'm not jumping on the bandwagon until the police and the courts have. Trials are in court, not on channel 4 I'm not a sheep (wrong forum to be one). I also think he's a detestable human being but that not the same as being a rapist. That requires a criminal court.

He needs charged and a fair trial if there's a real reporting of cases going on. The "powers that be" don't give a shite about Brand, other than for him being a sexual predator. Attwood's channel used to be decent before he started going down these rabbit holes. He hangs onto every word Icke says. It's hard to listen to his episodes when all you can here is his breathy "wooooowww"'s in the background when Icke reiterates that the queen was a reptile. The only one worth listening to on his channel is Sonia Poulton, who has tried her best to expose the McCann's and paedophile's and sexual predators in Parliament over the years, funnily enough some who probably did something similar to what Brand is accused of. Although Attwood wouldn't be so quick to defend them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyCant Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 He surely must have seen this coming and been aware of the press investigation. Don’t understand why he hasn’t gone for a super-injunction on the grounds of ‘innocent until proven guilty’ as many celebs have done in the past. Innocent or guilty, this ruins him. I don’t thinks that’s fair and just, particularly since it appears not one of these women has gone to the police.

The first part, he won't want a super injunction as he thrives on the attention and bad boy press. The fact he's come out defiant is interesting, it's a direct "come and have a go if you think you're hard enough" to the women. If it doesn't lead to charges he's the man for shutting it down, big ego boost, and off he goes again, proving there was no substance to the allegations. If it does, then it's a front of the last act of someone who felt they might as well go down swinging. There's no shortage of women willing to testify he's a ***** as Geldof put it as he is, but that's not the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
