No one is going to accuse you of assault from looking at them.

People have been accused by people they didn't even know.

So spare us your 'knowledge' when you plainly haven't a clue what you're talking about!

I used to give lifts to hitchhikers ,but decided years ago that it just wasn’t worth the risk.

He is like a Soay tup shagging anything that moves.

But he is totally useless & not fit to sire humans.

Yes, he's just a scumbag adict with little to no control over himself but unfortunately this is what's classed as an apex male by the young females of recent times.

And like many addicts he has had to channel himself into various things to distract him from his life being miserable without the hit, but his ways aren't far beneath the surface.

The days of men helping women with anything are over, I would not be stopping to help a woman broken down unless someone was with me

I have to say, that's a bit sad. The chances of you stumbling across a fruitcake who's faked breaking down so they can accuse you of doing something inappropriate must be like winning the lottery.

Knowing my luck perhaps not! Maybe I would stop but my natural instinct says keep going

But didn't the investigation start 4 years ago?

 

[stewart]

He's a fudging nutter you mean?

Possibly, but a clever one.

 

[DeeGee]

Musk has a criminal record?

No, I was referring to Brand. Sorry if I responded to the wrong post.

 

[Devil's advocate]

Making eye contact, initiating conversation with a woman is enough for some of those in the "me too" camp to accuse you of assault.

There's been plenty men falsely accused of rape over the years, I happen to know someone and the woman fabricated a whole story to get herself attention.

The days of men helping women with anything are over, I would not be stopping to help a woman broken down unless someone was with me

I'd like to say that is rubbish.

I was brought up to say Hello to everyone who walked passed me whilst I'm working (out in the country just passers by not in the middle of London) Also shelf stackers at my local garage/small supermarket who I don't know but see once or twice a week. I used to work in retail so trained to be friendly but not expect that to be returned.

90% of the time this is correct & people are friendly, 9% of people don't like "wealthy landowners". But 1% of the population do see it as sexual harrasment.

I'm not bothered shall carry on as normal, female joggers though I'm careful not to look anywhere but the face,

I still rescue damsels in distress, only ever had thank you. Thank goodness young women are more savvy, carry mobiles & are in the AA. Had a 70 year old woman burst into tears whist I was changing her wheel, just stress.

 

[Texel Tup]

Don't normally pay much heed to these sort of things but this was way too accurate to dismiss.

The injustice, of course and the disservice to justice is that whilst we should all be *awake* to the wrongs, Woke has hijacked and claimed as their own, an entire ideology which isn't theirs and to which they simply aren't entitled.

 

[yoki]

So his youtube channel has been demonetised, first step towards shutting it down completely?

Presumably he'd have been off twitter by now as well in pre-Musk days.

BBC throwing everything at it, interesting contrast between their handling of this and the Huw Edwards story despite the two situations having many similarities.

 

[boumaticboy]

The cynic in me wonders what Is happening in the world at the minute or what is the government trying to pass through when all the media suddenly says look over there Russell is really bad. This all happened years ago and was well known at the time.

 

[Sonoftheheir]

Taking a 16 year old out of school at the age of 30 for sex seems rather wrong to me. Of all the women older/his age he could of had instead. He knew it was wrong, but couldn’t help himself.

He’s a self obsessed predator with stupid hair and too many words.

 

[yoki]

But equally, he's made himself a pretty easy target by his actions over the years.

Whatever's going on, you'd have to think the chances of him actually ending up standing trial for anything are pretty slim.

Yes it does seem wrong, but he didn't disguise what he was about.

Right now I'd take The Times journalists hard work and endeavour with a very high bar of evidential research and corroboration and their legal Counsel approval prior to publication over a police "awareness" to be honest. I gather plenty more have now come forward but do not meet the high bar of evidential corroboration for publication. None of the 4 that came forward were aware of the others prior to The Times getting involved

Nor did the girl in her replies after being assaulted

But surely the likelihood of a fair trial is out the window?

Ergo, CPS would have doubts about pursuing it?

I have my doubts C4 and BBC management would have taken such an active interest without publicity. I doubt the Met would have issued a statement saying they are taking an interest in allegations without The Times article

Brand actually went on the offensive PRIOR to The Times publication putting his "side" on his YouTube channel
