    One of them, a 16 year old girl that may have been raped/sexually assaulted.

    So what was she doing anywhere near a drug fuelled sex addict? And why didn’t she report it at the time if she felt any wrong doing!!

    I hate the bloke but this is trial by media FFS.

    That is all.

    But that's his point of view that you earlier said you were all for others views.

    She wouldn’t be the first young girl to be wooed by an older man and throw in that he was a high-profile celeb popular with kids of that age then most would probably go there. Maybe the better question is why a bloke in his thirties had an interest in a girl doing GCSEs. Probably didn’t deserve to be raped like.

    Lots of major scandals would only have come to light without the media getting the ball rolling. Jimmy Sav, for example.

    And I've responded with my opinion of what he's said.

    I'm not asking you to agree.

    You were suggesting freedom of speech earlier...hypocrisy at its best.

    He has freedom of speech and I'm using mine to give my opinion on what he's said.

    As I also said, there can be consequences for what you say.

    It's my opinion that, as young people use this board, his comments are inappropriate.

    Why would you ban him? Not keen on Barts terminology but when the Met Police are asking for the 'victims' to come forward and report a crime.. suggests to me there is something very wrong in this. Like I said....you're a hypocrite .

    I'd ban him because I don't think his language is either necessary or appropriate for a for an open forum which children can access.

    I'm not saying he's not entitled to make those comments, just that this isn't the right place.

    If you're saying, for the sake of your argument, that you believe people should be able to post absolutely anything I'd say you're the hypocrite.

    The media didn't get the ball rolling. They were celebrating him until the noise from the victims became too loud to ignore.

    I'd be interested in seeing how they met - with Savile he had regular access to young people through his job, but I'd guess that Brand probably didn't have that kind of access.

    <laugh> what a **** excuse. There has been a ****load said on different threads,on this board that would not be suitable for children. I've never seen you ask for bans on those threads. Hypocrisy at best <doh>

    They did but fine.

    Brand would have had virtually unlimited access to attractive women and was a confessed sex addict.

    I haven't ask for a ban, I said I'd ban him if I were a Mod.

    It's my opinion that his post is inappropriate and that there's no need for it to be on this forum.

    Other people agree with me.

    If you believe anything goes that says it all.

    Do what you like, I really couldn't care less.

    Is that clear enough or are you going to go on all night.

    I have the utmost respect for women, and I have 2 daughters.
    You don’t know me, so stop talking bollox!!

    Im currently watching the C4 program on the very subject.

    As I thought, it’s trial by media. Using women who never reported anything to the police.

    Compo anyone!!

    I never implied you was asking me to agree, but you can't advocate free speech then want someone banned for saying something you disagree with

    So watching the C4 programme, and the 1st 3 ladies making the complaints are admitting they were in a relationship with him, despite any reservations they may have had.

    I rest my case!!
