There’s alleged victims I’ll grant you, but there is also a huge 21st century bandwagon as well, which make the aforementioned baying mob.

Problem is, if he is guilty of anything he needs to be convicted in a court of law and not just the court of public opinion.

Slightly off topic, but perhaps relevant, has Russell Brand been charged by the CPS yet?
Nope. An internal investigation needs to determine whether someone has breached HR policy and if they have, the extent of that breach. The firm can then determine the penalty for that breach. For example, it could be determined that an alleged offender has committed several counts of gross misconduct over several years, for which I suspect the usual outcome is instant dismissal without payment. The offender would usually have the right of appeal (internally), and of course if the offender believes the company have acted unfairly can launch a grievance and/or sue the company.

Reports of inappropriate touching now. Still, it's all BANTER, right lads?!
If it keeps getting worse it will be interesting to see how long the “can’t say anything, all banter he’s a legend” types cling to the burning wreckage

Taking its time old boy, when was the original expose documentary?

The documentary into his behaviour was broadcast in September 2023.

However that has no baring on any police investigation or CPS decision over charges. The case was only passed to the CPS in November this year. Not that there should be any time limit on these things.

One of the production companies that apologised for not properly investigating complaints made against Brand was Banijay UK, the same production company involved in the making of Masterchef.

To be fair here, the "production company" was one they subsequently bought.

Banijay is a parent company for a myriad of smaller ones.

This whole circus reminds me of when I was 20 and worked in an NHS admin office in Eastbourne.

One of the senior managers in his late 50's was in charge of the typing pool that had about 30 women young and old. Virtually every Monday morning he would breeze in with the opening line " Morning ladies, hands up all those of you who had a bunk up at the weekend!" Much hilarity ensued and the usual response from the girls was " what about you Maurice? "

Different times and he went on to be one of the most respected Eastbourne mayors!
I'm no Poirot, but your clue-laced post indicates this must have been Maurice Skilton MBE.

It's not quite "Domingo from Little Oakley" but it's certainly competitive.

Sorry yes you are quite right, it was Endermol Shine that they'd picked up from Disney a few years ago that actually make the programs a lot of these allegations happened on.

I understand Channel 5 have just commissioned him to present a new series on traditional British grub, "My Toad In Your Hole".

Is he actually denying any of these allegations or is he dismissing them as over-sensitive woke nonsense?

shock horror , some woman said he brushed against her :facepalm:
And said ‘ooh you liked that didn’t you’. I’m not suggesting it’s the worst crime ever but it’s still not an appropriate or professional way to behave and is part of an overall picture of inappropriate behaviour.

It wasn't tricky was it. Personally I really liked him but with all the current furore it's funny how I recalled that from so far back.
