Hardly the most important thing in that article, but do you think Brand actually read Lolita, or did he just read the first chapter or so before getting distracted. Boy this Humbert fellow seems like a good chap, I bet things turn out great for him and his understanding of the world is proven entirely right

The bit that gets me is that not once does anyone seen to have kicked the poo poo out of him. I've been around dickheads who behaved like that in public. They were told knock it off or they'd get the poo poo kicked out of them. The ones that did not knock it off got the poo poo kicked out of them, it ain't hard.

did those dickheads have oodles of power and cash and in particular a strong position of power over the people they were being dickheads to? it's a common thing for abusers to pick people they know they have an advantage over and can exploit without consequence

This is the telegraph (and the entire Tory party tbf) thinking woke is just "do trans people exist yes/no". Teresa May did start try and reform Self ID rules when prime minister, which was delayed by Brexit chaos and her failure as prime minister. I have no trouble believing that May thinks trans people are real and it was better to just push through reforms and make it a Tory victory like gay marriage. Doesn't mean she's not an awful piece of poo poo in other ways.

I hope I'm proven wrong but it feels like there's such a hurricane of bullshit and well-funded media outlets that exist as video versions of Spiked that going with the "they're out to get me" angle might even work for him. He's managed to get the richest dumbass in the world on board, and the British public old enough to have eaten BSE burgers aren't immune from the effects just because they think they're old school socialists.

As goalish as the Tories are even some of them are realising rights for trans people are going to come sooner of later. They can either fight it, or get on board and try and claim it as their own idea like with Gay marriage.

Its the closest thing to hope.

Oh, they'll sob to the press about how they thought it was "just his way!" and "just bit of fun!" and "no-one ever took it seriously!" and none of their careers will be affected in the slightest.

After the hype, this only being about the obvious rapist and sex pest Russell Brand is a bit of a damp squib. Really glad that at least his victims will get a chance to see him properly punished.

Really speaks to the "circle the wagons" approach that everyone in the UK media has. They speak in hushed tones about how they know all sorts of secrets about people like this, but when asked they put on a cheeky "I know something you don't know" act. If any of them had any integrity they'd say gently caress it, name & shame & suffer whatever consequences. Yes, they'd get kicked out of the inner circle of nonces, but would gain the public's adoration.

It's a cut-throat industry at all levels. If you speak out and make noise against a powerful talent that makes money, you'll simply find yourself without a job and blacklisted. People quickly learn not see things, or ask too many questions. Lots gets talked about behind the scenes and in secret WhatsApp groups, so everyone knows, but very few people will risk their literal livelihoods and futures over things that'll eventually get stomped on by lawyers.

What I saw tonight seemed very weaponised and directed, and while I'm glad that a predator like Brand has finally been publicly exposed like this, I had expected more. I guess a few stars will be able to breathe a sigh of relief for now.

Anyway, this tweet is quite astute:

Technically not Time Team, but another archeology telly programme, Two Men In A Trench. With Tony Pollard who is an actual archeologist at Glasgow Uni specialising in battlefields where as Oliver mostly chatted to people who knew stuff. Though I think they did go to uni together.

It was honestly quite a good show in that it treated battlefield digs with respect but without revelling in misery of human suffering.

They did an episode on Culloden Moor, site of the last battle (well, depending in your definition I suppose) on the British mainland. Despite Oliver it's honestly worth a watch on Youtube

The Halycon days of theresa may, where the evil was at least competent and aware of what it was doing. Compared fondly to the days afterwards where incompent poo poo golems wandered from clownshow to clownshow bumbling into further issues of their own making before running away from questions about it.
