Now Russell Brand's been convicted of rape, we need to talk about Sylvie Berki. Because she can't speak for herself. In 2014, Ms Berki said she'd been assaulted by Russell Brand. But if she talks about it, even now, she risks jail.
I am seeing quite a lot of men doing this "oh, it was the baddies of <political group I hate> who liked/backed Brand" and honestly, just bloody listen to yourselves. It's not about *your* purity/judgment/how much you hate the left/the centrists/the right. It's about his *victims*.
A few comments. We must not forget that the criminal standard is sure. The jury were asked to be sure that Brand committed the offence of rape. The jury were sure in one case and NOT sure in two others. Mr Brand is innocent of these charges. Do not confuse this with the women being liars.

Rapist Russell Brand's been found guilty. Now can we please look carefully at the systems that were in place to protect him, promote him, help him use his fame & money to acquire & silence victims & then attempt to Faithwash his reputation? Because EVERYONE FUCKING KNEW.
GUILTY. Fame is no shield. Today belongs to the women who stood up and told the truth.
This is the official GOP cope thread, add to it at your leisure, we're gonna be smokin pack all week.

Got two tickets for Pulp at Wythenshawe Park tomorrow going spare. £140 face value but would take £100. How many people are even on Bluesky to see this? Not shifting these, am I.
Presume it's fine for me to be mainly spending the morning watching Dolly videos and getting emotional 🫠
Vaccines, literacy, cancer, wildlife. And that’s without even thinking about the music.
