Off topic. There's no shortage of Trump threads on AN.

What overheated belief?

Forget it. The courts in the West always side with women. Whether that is custody battles, divorce settlements, sexual abuse, common assault or whatever. #believeallwomen is a good example. The fact it was even "a thing" for a brief period is ridiculous. I say this as someone who has never been through a divorce battle, accused of rape etc. It's just an observation from multiple cases of friends, acquaintances etc.

Your religious bigotry is noted. Your predictions are interesting coming from a paid up member of the climate emergency doomsday cult.

Sounds like a repeat of the arguments about Hunters laptop prior to the previous election. It will all surface in the end. Probably too late for the average working class American who just wants a competent cognizant leader. As for arguments elsewhere, that individual doesn't have the might of the Democrat misinformation machine backing him up.

The only question is whether they can bury it until after the next election. It will surface in the end, just like Hunters laptop. History will not be kind to the crimes of the Biden's and their deluded supporters.

How many expats are forming gangs and engaging in street battles with police ? The expats I know live a quiet life. Bring money into the country and support Thai people. Nobody is objecting to legal immigrants who contribute.

What a shame. It used to be such a peaceful country before... well you know...

Yes its allegations from ex girlfriends from years ago as far as I know. Did he rape the receptionist? I think he just got his nob out. Stupid, but it happens in pubs and clubs all over the country on a saturday night. He also stripped off at Nelson's column if I recall correctly. He is a complete idiot. I dont think anyone is accusing him of raping strangers at knife point in dark alleys though... So save your pointless virtue signalling until you have established the facts.

As for your other points, it is deeply unfair that someone can have their reputation destroyed while the accuser's identity is kept secret. It should be the same rule for accused and accuser. Either both are kept secret, or both are revealed. Brand has had his life turned upside down based on nothing more than an accusation from an ex-girlfriend from years ago. Ridiculous.

They probably know he'll be out in 6 months, same as Thaksin will be.

Depends on their political leanings. Many people accused but not convicted of crimes are free to post on YouTube. The majority are left wing. As are the owners. Weird huh...

Yeah that must be it. I will move along swiftly. ????

Are you replying to the wrong post again?

Income tested cancellation. A fascinating concept. Maybe we could just cancel based on political beliefs? Oh... wait a minute

If I was the EU I would be more concerned with the illegal immigrant invasion and the fact that Germany's car manufacturing industry is being rapidly usurped by China.

Exactly. That's why the attempts to deny him the right to earn a living are so abhorrent.

So if a white or black right wing Tory said the same thing you wouldn't take it as seriously? Isn't that a bit ummmm, racist?

The whole thread is about criminal allegations. He has been accused of rape. Check the thread title.

Besides, you missed the point again. I wasn't saying I wanted a thread on the BBC perv. I was simply stating the Brand story is such a huge story because of Brand's fame/notoriety which is primarily due to his politically charged YouTube channel and his views.

I am happy to discuss his actual behaviour. Show me some evidence of what he's actually done and we can discuss it. Or do you mean you want to discuss the unproven allegations? Don't get me wrong, I dislike Brand. However, my position is that everyone should be innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, even people who I think are a complete nob.

Ummm, no. What I am saying is that if Jordan Peterson punched me in the face it would be a bigger story than if you punched me in the face. Why? Because Peterson is a well know individual with controversial views so his opponents would be all over it. Whereas you are ummm, let's be polite and say less well known.

Pointing out that Pakistani grooming gangs are Pakistani is not racist. It's factual. The last thing we need is the police allowing young girls to be abused because they don't want to upset minorities. Again. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2526896/Revealed-Catalogue-police-failures-let-Rochdale-sex-grooming-gangs-flourish-claims-damning-police-report.html

The "leading" economy? What does that mean? The biggest? Because even if we had become the biggest, the EU is a Franco German led organization which would never let the British be a dominant force. They very much wanted to put the British "in their place". Clearly their massive over-reach has backfired as the Eurozone looks set to sink into recession without us. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/jun/08/eurozone-sinks-into-recession-as-cost-of-living-crisis-takes-toll Nah, we're better off out. Next up, adios to the ECHR. See ya... ????

Oh it was you was it? Strange that you would ask for evidence then play the "that's off topic" card when I provide it. Here's a pro tip, if you don't want something, don't request it. Back on to Brand, I would disagree that this has nothing to do with left and right. I believe that the way some people have gone after him is due to his views and his politics. That's why it's such big news. I mean nobody is even mentioning the ex-BBC guy who recently admitted to raping and killing 40 dogs, let alone multiple threads on it. Brand is a big name because of his views.
