I see the (odious) Mr Brand has his court case started.

I never had much time for him but to be a sexual predator is most unpleasant.

Eh? Ive no time for him either but innocent until proven guilty and all evidence heard. You are judging him just because you don't like him

I used to like him.
I thought he was very good looking and he was funny.
He hasn’t been found guilty yet so let’s not hang the man just yet. ( metaphorically speaking )

He was always naff.

Kandinsky Wed 14-Oct-26 18:55:21

Do people still say ‘naff’?
Haven’t heard that word for about 30 years.

Good word though describes him exactly.

As I have mentioned on GN before I was in Waitrose in Henley on Thames when RB came with a friend and a large Alsatian. He mucked about just laughing and giggling with his friend but bought nothing.
I found one of the Waitrose staff in a suit so I thought he would have some clout.
I said that RB should not in a store with his Alsatian. The staff member said he didn’t know who RB was and it was likely the dog was an Assistance Dog !
NOTHING WAS DONE. 👎

I always thought he looked dirty and unkempt akways disliked his arrogant attitude. Seedy sums him up.

Wasn’t he the one who was nasty to Andrew Sachs granddaughter, along with Jonathan Ross?

Never rated either of them since,

Yes! It wasn’t funny or nice and I was very cross with Mr Ross!

To be fair, I didn’t say he was guilty!

Me neither .

No one is concluding RB is guilty, that’s for the court to decide.

What people are saying is in summary, he always seemed unsavoury. His obsession with smut and sex wasn’t hidden, like other perpetrators, he hid in plain site

My understanding is these women didn’t know each other and came forward independently with similar complaints of abusive behaviour. We all know how few sexual abuse/rape investigations are sent to the CPS and even fewer seen as over 80% or more likely to result in conviction, so the alleged perpetrator charged.

But the description still fits him.

Gosh, but the pic of him on the Guardian website makes him look very aged these days. And did he really turn up for a court appearance looking that scruffy?

Not much respect for the court, obviously. I hope the judge takes a dim view of Mr B's apparent contempt.
