      He’s been a regular on Bro Brogan for years. That’s where his shift to the right-wing began a few years ago, shortly after his sex pest behavior became public knowledge.

      Wealthy immigrant accused of rape and spewing lies at every turn? Deport him? They going to offer him a job leading what ever department he wants to demolish. Probably justice.

      He’s getting the Trump Gold Card that was announced, not getting deported. That card is just a call for the world’s shadiest people to relocate to the US. Perfect, what could go wrong?!

    after a police investigation into allegations made following the broadcast of a Channel 4 documentary

    "The Crown Prosecution Service reminds everyone that criminal proceedings are active, and the defendant has the right to a fair trial.

    Were the allegations not brought to the police before the tv documentary? Why didn’t the police investigate before? If so there should be an investigation and prosecution of those involved in the “non-investigation”.

    This failure to investigate is an outrage, many people including me listened to Russel Brand in the 2010s, but the police failed to investigate and now has the gall to say “the defendant has a right to a fair trial”? Does the public not also have a right to a fail investigation and prosecution?

      Were the allegations not brought to the police before the tv documentary?

      I might be speaking out of my ass here, but it could be that the allegations were brought to the police first, but there wasn’t enough evidence at the time for the police to file charges, and then the documentary investigation turned up more evidence than the police had.

        Quite possible it’s just a fuck-up. But really the police should be able to do what a TV documentary crew can do. I mean what is the police there for? (Socialist answer is obviously to protect the rich and powerful)

        How many cases were not pursued because it wasn’t profitable and opportune to make a popular documentary for them? Inequality based on identity like gender is the core belief of fascism, so this is a serious problem to leave unfixed.

      They may not have been, or the survivor may have not wanted to go to court so it went nowhere.

      Do we know that that wasn’t consensual? Did she say later that the bit went further than they had agreed?

        Age-restricted videos cannot be watched without Google login

        Lol. Can’t watch evidence of allegations of pundits and politicians without giving your phone number and therefor become personally identifiable.

          So you believe that Google is sharing the personal details of everyone that watches particular videos with some shady left wing cabal of pundits? Maybe it’s just an inappropriate video.

          They even cited the exact episode, there are plenty of other ways to see that clip if you don’t want to log in. And isn’t it always republicans passing laws requiring ID for “adult content”?

            ALL of your videos. And to and however it’s most profitable. If not now in the future. And left wing causes have little money, so no lol.

      He used to be in movies I guess, he turned rapist once he got outed by the news. Then he pivoted right wing, naturally as a way to shield himself from criticism

        Seems to be the power move of these clowns.

        Get caught doing something wrong, instead of owning up to it or apologizing… just going “I JOINED THE REPUBLICANS BECAUSE THE WOKE LEFT TRIED TO TELL ME THE HOLOCAUST ACTUALLY HAPPENED! THEY’VE GONE TOO FAR!” and sadly winning allies from that

      britian is pretty slow on these types of crime, he pivoted to the right to avoid said charges.

    Hard to believe someone who looks like a rapist and acts like a rapist is a rapist.

      Right? The guy whose acting range was limited to “smarmy creep with an accent” turned out to be a sex pest. Weird!
