I am really struggling with all this stuff about Russell Brand they've dug up. You are honestly telling me he was a comedian?

Can imagine this might, have held some influence if he’d plead guilty, and saved his survivors the pain of a trial, but he didn’t…

Brand has got the armchair lawyers out in force tonight.
When you see a TV report of life-saving surgery, you don’t get the ignorant Twitterati telling us all where s/he got it wrong, or which incision might have been better.
But when it comes to law, they are all experts.

Did you explain to them why you thought Hitler was right?
And how much fun you had saying gas them all to jewish class mates?
And how you made hissing gas chamber like noises to them?

Watching people online defend Russell Brand like they’ve found a legal argument his own barrister somehow missed.
Four weeks of evidence, four guilty verdicts, and apparently the real legal experts were sitting in the Twitter replies all along. 😂

I'm going to say it in very simple language - when a woman gives evidence on oath against a man, that is actual evidence. The defence barrister is there to test it. The judge gives directions. The jury weighs it careful and looks for corroboration. But testimony IS evidence.

If anything has come from the Russel Brand conviction, it’s that an alarming amount of men on here do not understand consent can be withdrawn at any time during sex. Jesus fucking Christ…

Sickening… I’m so sorry they did this to Cassandra’s memory and to your family. I find the justice system utterly revolting at times. I was heading for trial against my step father, and in pre prep I was warned they would portray me and my sisters as promiscuous.. leading him on. I was 7 years old.. my sister’s younger. He took his own life before the trial, but I was truly dreading having to defend my 7 year old self…

Not just Russell Brand's barrister. At the trial of the man who killed my beautiful daughter, Cassandra, his defence barrister repeatedly asked about Cassie's underwear and portrayed her as being promiscuous. She was dead. It seared itself into my consciousness and won't leave.

I am no longer engaging with rape apologists. I suggest you all do the same because you will never make them see any other view. You end up circling the drain and working yourself up. Rape apologists don't deserve your precious time.
£22 for a glass of Nyetimber? Has the UK gone stark raving mad? Pedestrian Oxford St was nice yesterday evening though.

I flat-shared with 4 others in London age 20. I had finished Uni...worked a good job Selfridges, slept on friends floor to try save for my own place closer to town. A flatmate was a loud obnoxious Australian, scary even, everything was shouted..he was horrible, I avoided him, he would find ways to demand more money from me. I paid towards council tax and some towards 'floor' as well as of course my part of general bills too so we never knew why he was being so vile..aside from vile sake...
I came home from work to a flat party at 8pm. I was handed a coke, I can't drink alcohol, I have crohns..it hurt to drink. I have ZERO recollection of anything until 6am, i was ontop of him, he was SA'ing me fully.
I was a virgin saving myself. I am autistic, I had serious issues with people touching me. I immediately jumped off..horrified...there were others in the room one guy watching it all...I still can barely speak of this..but there is a point.
I IMMEDIATELY packed my suitcase. I was so confused...I had no idea what happened...I was sore..tired..and utterly confused. My friend who's floor I slept on was still asleep. I left to go to nearest tube...he chased me the whole way repeating 'it's just sex..what's your deal, what's wrong with ya?' I now can't even listen to Australian accents...I never said a word. I got on the tube his voice ringing in my ear..
I went to my nearest friend who was In Oxford. I got bed in a hostel until I could gather my mind. I had interviews at MTV and TV channels all set up.. I didn't want to return to scotland. I had bruising on my neck..arms, absolutely brutal cystitis..i was torn up 'down there'.
What did I do?
I disassociated. I did not know what the hell I had done all that night. I could not figure it out. One year later my friend got married. That beast was there, I froze in fear. Infront of everyone in hotel breakfast he shouts 'Why you ignoring me..i fucked ya'
what did I do?
I just didn't respond..I was frozen....he had terrified me in such a deep way...I froze..am sorry...thats what happened.
TWENTY years later. I am a mother, lost a child, my own mother died, covid hit..my marriage failed..moved country..son struggling autism, i had a tumour nearly kill me, then my crohns..it was A LOT.. and I ended in therapy
It was not until then I could piece anything together. 1- I openly disliked this man, people knew I avoided him ad was afraid of him..I would NEVER have consented ever, even drunk...and...as I mentioned i can't drink, Id throw up. Only one answer, he drugged me.
On top of SA..he could have killed me, with crohns you don't know what your absorption is doing, so dangerous...I as able to sit and piece it together when I could face it...and it took 20 years...
so I don't judge anyone who 'took 20 years' to report.
