I see the rest of his stand-up tour has been cancelled now. I think sending some bird a text message saying in as many words "Sorry about raping you the other night and I hope this text message provides suitable amelioration" may prove to be less than helpful. I bet he's shitting himself right now. Maybe. But that is not exactly what was said. She said “no means no” and he said “oh yea, sorry about that”. May she was complaining because he poured her another drink she didn’t want. Or maybe she objected when he put Eastenders on the telly. Or yea ok maybe it was an unwanted sexual act, but we don’t actually know that. Let’s face it, any woman who wanted to get into close quarters with that sleazeball must be a bit weird. Or very weird in fact.

You say that but the girls like the bad boy. Often, anyway. I can see how Brand comes across as charming if he wants to be charming, funny, probably exciting and a bit dangerous. 'Mad, bad, and dangerous to know' - a phrase coined to describe Lord Byron. Add that to fame and money and it's not difficult to see his appeal to the party-minded. Literally anything could happen. To be honest, looking back on dalliances of the past, the ones where it clearly wasn't going to be a long-term thing were easily the most fun, if perhaps only in the sometimes very short-term. I very much doubt if many of Brand's lovers were thinking about marriage.

And still no significant police action. It is all trial by media and Ch4's internal investigation - which is taking a long time so it can't be that clear cut. And these days, you could be found guilty and sacked from Ch 4 for some heinous sin such as mis-gendering someone who had decided to be non-binary this week.

You could be right, but these things seem to rarely happen quickly. It took a while for the Rolf Harris episode to be heard. Unfortunately for Russell he seems to have created a fair bit of the narrative all by himself. If the CPS press the button you can bet there's stuff we haven't heard yet.

Yes but that was quite a long time ago and no charges. I did say “significant police action”.

Yes I suppose November the 16th was quite a while ago. Time flies!
