It’s also because many of Thailand’s large businesses are family owned or controlled by families.

So the U.S. puts tariffs on imports from Thailand and you think Thailand is going to reduce trade with China. Trade will take the path of least resistance. There’s a clue in the OP:

Investigate, charge, send him to trial and if found guilty lock him up. Which is yet again evidence of how long it takes for sexual crimes to come to light.

Bit of a false equivalence. Manslaughter is an unintended killing, there is nothing unintentional about rape. Find a more worthy hill to die on.

Well for a start, they only think they know the reason. The reason(s) will be presented to a jury in an open court of law.

Russel Brand is charged with rape. That’s not ‘a minor allegation’ even if wedded to your feeble attempt to wedge your off topic fixations into the thread.

He saw there was a market for conspiracy theories and cashed in.

And yet another conspiracy.

Correct.

And the next conspiracy starts as easily as that.

He’s being arraigned at Westminster Magistrates Court. His trial will be in a Crown Court: https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/JCO/Documents/Protocols/listing_crown_court_manual_050705.pdf

Let the jury hear the evidence and we’ll get to see what is and is not phony.

I see the subtle but important distinction evaded you.

The police press release indicates several accusers. https://news.met.police.uk/news/russell-brand-charged-by-the-metropolitan-police-service-495944

You are struggling today Lou. ’Potential’ money extraction by filing a police complaint. That would be short cut to prison. If you have evidence of any of his accusers attempting to extract money in the basis of the allegations they have laid against Brand send it to both the Met and Brand’s legal team. Careful though with the police, filing a false claim risks criminal prosecution.

I described the justice I know he deserves and support him receiving. I have made absolutely no comment on what the outcome of that justice will be. Nor shall I until the verdict is passed down.

And do the conspiracy nonsense starts.

They are no longer ‘allegations’ they are now ‘criminal charges’. There is a subtle but important distinction.

You are confused on ‘innocent until proven guilty’. It does not exist outside the criminal justice system. He’s accused, the police, the judge and the jury must consider him innocent until the verdict comes down. Anyone else can make their own mind up. Just like there are those in this thread who make assumptions on the motives of his accusers. There are however some who habitually rush to support men accused of sexual crimes against women, I doubt through any sense of justice.

So long as he gets the justice he deserves. Trial in open court, the right to legal representation, the right to full and open judicial process.

These are criminal charges brought by the CPS. There is no means for the accuser to extract money from the accused in a criminal trial.

It looks to me like he’ll get a fair trial in an open court where he will be provided with legal representation. Though to be honest I would not be at all surprised if his narcissism gets the better of him and he chooses to represent himself while playing the ‘political persecution’ card. I’m am however sure he’ll receive a spirited defense on the forum.

On that note, he recently ‘got religion’. Polluting the River Thames during his conversion. https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/the-unlikely-christian-conversion-of-russell-brand/

“Veterans ...... Wouldn't liberals generally refer to them as baby killers?” No. Good luck to you and anyone you care about dodging cancer. DOGe has cut funding to feeding poor children in America.
