I don't think she has always been on the side of the victims. I think this is covering her reputation only now Brand has been sentenced teapawt.net/DanNeidle/status/21193…

Shappi Khorsandi says Russell Brand’s behaviour was an “open secret” in comedy circles and people were warned not to be alone with him.
Interviewer: “Russell Brand has always said he’s only had consensual sex. What do you make of that?”
Shappi Khorsandi: “I would be curious to know what consent looks like to him. Because what consent looks like to him seems to be very different to what consent looks like to the women.”
She recalls a woman who spoke to her about an encounter with Brand years earlier.
Shappi Khorsandi: “She called it rape. And I don’t think Russell understands that what he regards as consent isn’t consent in the law.”
The interviewer then asks about Brand’s claim that the women who came forward had “reimagined” their encounters.
Shappi Khorsandi: “I think that’s a lot of projection. It feels to me like Russell’s worked really hard at reimagining and reframing what happened. That reimagining belongs to him.”
“The fact Russell Brand was a predator, everyone knew. People were advised to not be alone with him.”
“When you’ve been assaulted, when you’ve been raped, however long ago it was, your body still feels it. Your body tells you what you have been through. It’s not your mind imagining it.”

Today’s Russell Brand’s conviction reminded me of one of the most powerful monologues by @SophyRidgeSky at politics hub. It was worth a watch then, and it’s definitely worth a watch now..
I don’t know what happened with Russell Brand. He denies criminality.
But I DO understand why women might not report rape to the police
My take on tonight’s #PoliticsHub 👇

Katherine Ryan didn't need a jury. She revealed Russell Brand's true nature a while ago.

ALT Louisa Compton, Director of News, Digital and Audience Trust at Channel 4 said: “The outcome of the Russell Brand trial belongs to all of the women who had the courage to speak out – all of those who participated in the criminal process and those different women who shared their testimony in the original Channel 4 Dispatches and The Sunday Times and The Times investigation. “The trial heard that women involved in the criminal case came forward after seeing the Channel 4 Dispatches film. It is a powerful demonstration of why fearless, independent, investigative journalism in the public interest matters. We remain profoundly grateful to every woman who trusted the Channel 4 reporting team.”

There’s a way that all local councils, whoever runs them, can keep their residents safer.
20mph. Saves lives, reduces injuries.
The evidence keeps building.

Drug driving
Drink driving
Speeding
Driving without licence
Driving whilst distracted
Hit and runs
All of the above are common features in daily collisions (with all road users) which cost lives. This is where increased education, enforcement and policing is needed.

I’m ex forces & I don’t wear a poppy I have a half of whiskey to remember my fallen friends as the poppy is used for all the wrong reasons these days as so called patriots conveniently forgot that Muslims died along with the other fallen.
There is nothing in the constitution

Dear “Dan”
You have no right to point out who is/isn’t a sexual deviant when the call is coming from inside the house
It’s time to shut up,

Here’s the epic Jimmy Somerville utterly rinsing the LGB Alliance.
Never forget that the @AllianceLGB is an anti-trans, hard right hate group based out of 55 Tufton Street.
No everyone who has complained about the improvements is a stupid racists, but no stupid racists have welcomed it, and lots have complained.
If you every find yourself on the side of stupid racists you should have a think about why you agree with them

Public transport is supposed to be funded by the public. There is no other way for it to work for the public
Annual bus subsidy in London has ballooned from about £700m to £1.2bn this year and £1.7bn in 2029. Totally unsustainable, a network heading for bankruptcy.
The extra 10p won't fill much of the gap because the deficit per journey is about 65p (£1.2bn against 1.8bn journeys).

Who would've thought that Nigel's decision to platform a convicted racist at Reform's conference would be seen as a welcome mat to racists across the country.
Bit like Reform's decision to ignore McMurdock's past or Jenrick's medal offer was a green light for women beaters.
