The shame of this is the media indulged this monster for so long and helped to elevate him to stardom.

I didn't realise until today that Reform Treasurer Nick Candy is a longtime pal of David Walliams. Walliams was even a director and trustee of Nick's charity- the Candy foundation from 2020 until he resigned earier this year

The Right find it so difficult to accept our legal system when it goes against them. God knows what they would do to change it?

Replying to @MarioNawfal
To convict Brand they launched a massive investigation using multiple police agencies. They did a sweeping historical investigation of his past. Detectives and prosecutors gathered accounts from over 100 witnesses. They used 400 witnesses. Detectives reviewed his past stand-up comedy routines, television appearances, broadcast interviews, podcasts, and written books. The case was multi-year, from 2023 to the trial at Southwark Crown Court. Convicting Brand was one of the greatest efforts UK police ever launched.

This is what I was expecting. The average prison sentence for rape in the UK is 10.7 years. The judge needed to choose a sentence that is sufficient punishment without setting it so high it looks anomalous and as if making an example of a celebrity. Well done that Judge.

Petition to reduce the State Pension / retirement age back down to 65. Yes, i know the Govt would have to compensate people who have already had to work until 66 or 67 (so unlikely to succeed) - at least The Govt will know how angry we are. petition.parliament.uk/petit…

Yes, I know I look extremely like the blonde haired, blue eyed ex PM from this angle. Yes it's true, I'm the secret love child of Boris Johnson (aged 62) even though I'm only 4 years younger than Boris! 😅 Maybe I should get a DNA test? Perhaps I'm his long lost sister?

What a shame that after all his hard work being the most patriotic MP in the last couple of days, that Farage is about to be kicked out of Parliament.

BREAKING: Scientists have confirmed low iron reduces the brain's ability to make dopamine, because iron is a required cofactor for producing it. Low ferritin turns up often in both autism and ADHD, and it's a level almost nobody thinks to check.1/6

On Thursday I wrote about the 2014 injunction Russell Brand obtained against a woman who accused him of assault. I've now obtained the final order. It's breathtaking. She had no lawyer. No trial. Yet she was silenced for life - even barred from speaking to the police. 🧵:
