    You can only be brainwashed if you pay attention to a subject. In Brand's case I'd switch off a show I'd usually watch if he was on. Same goes for Ross Noble and others, I just can't abide them.

    Yes mate, I do the same with others. But the message is there
    I don't hate Mags.
    I love the rivalry and banter.
    I like Millwall
    We're all working class gadgies that get pitted against each other by rich entitled cùnts and I fùcking hate them

    dont like the bloke, always thought he was a prick who somehow got a break, i dont know if he has done anything or if he has not but...it is way past the time for all these peedo's and sexual predators to be exposed once and for all, i do not care if they are tv stars, musicians, MP's or even royalty, get them out in the open and get them jailed.

    saying that, i firmly believe that neither party shouild be mentioned until a guaranteed conviction is the outcome or if one has lied about it then they get named, have seen too many people losing everything despite being innocent.

    Talentless prick, wasn’t funny as a so called comedian and recently trying his hand as a political pundit. Horrendous human being

    Don't like his attitude as a person but for me it's wrong that he's named in public after being accused whereas his accusers retain their anonymity. To me that's wrong.

    He hasn't been charged with anything as far as i'm aware (to be fair i only heard about this a couple of hours ago)

    The investigation piece by the times is a very hard read. They have spent 4 years putting it together and I don't feel they would put their reputations on the line without serious evidence. They claim to have seen all the texts, emails and got records of medical and therapy sessions through FOI.

    The bit about the 16 year old is terrible.

    I agree mate. It just pisses me off when males are named in the media prior to conviction. This applies whether they're a "celebrity" or not.

    If it's ok to name the accused then surel it's ok to name the accuser?

    Remarkable how far trust in the media has fallen. The overwhelming reaction I've seen online has been to call bullshit. Even with someone like Brand where you'd think 'yes I could absolutely see all of that happening'

    kevin Spacey - Aquitted
    Craig McLachlan - Aquitted
    Benjamin Mendy - Aquitted
    Ched Evans - Conviction quashed after serving jails time

    Those 4 off the top of my head, both careers tarnished, possibly over. These 4 went to court.

    I'm sure that there have been many men in mainstream life who have lost their jobs/careers after being even accused of inapropriate behaviour because they get named.

    Surely an accused person is deserving of the right to anonymity until convicted and found guilty? Isn't that the basic rule of law?

    He was a cocaine fuelled sex addict. This news was inevitable. No one forced him to take cocaine. I suspect he’s less of a ****er now in many ways but in the eyes of the law history isn’t deleted.

    Agree to an extent that those accused of crimes shouldn't be named until proven guilty. However, in this case, its not necessarily all illegal, just a complete destruction of his personality which he seems to deserve.

    If it's untrue, he'll sue them for millions. I suspect the investigation teams have enough evidence to cover themselves here.

    Won't pay to read the times, but it seems they've done a good job
