Russell Brand case must be wake-up call to protect women in media, Lisa Nandy says

The culture secretary, Lisa Nandy, has said there is still a problem with exploitation and abuse in the media industry and a failure to properly deal with allegations after Russell Brand’s conviction for rape and sexual assault....

Erm, this is a society-wide problem Lisa. Lots and lots of non-famous people commit appalling acts of sexual abuse and sexual violence every day. Unfortunately, there's nothing 'special' about the abuse done by or to famous people and no 'special' way to tackle it in this or any other sector. I know she's the media, culture and sport secretary, but surely she can see that narrowing the focus only hides the wider issues?

Catch the big fish and the minows will be more cautious. Especially in the influential media industry whose very task is to inform and motivate public behaviour. One Jimmy Saville is worth the capture of ten minor IT bods up to malarky, regarding societal change.

Brand gets a 10 year custodial sentence. Cueing the #OUTRAGE from the right-o-sphere in 3, 2, 1...

He'll serve seven and less than that if Reform get in and wanna save money feeding the deranged clownster

[Brian Peacock]

Yeah. He'll be due for early release after serving 2/3rds of his sentence if he has a clean prison record and the board consider him not to be a danger to the public. But he'll serve the remainder of his sentence on licence, with conditions on his movement and an ankle tag. Plus a lifetime on the sex-offenders register. He's also facing the possibility of extra charges for alleged separate offences, and his imprisonment may yet encourage other victims to come forward.

He'll escape abroad. They go soft on your monied nonces stateside. Might even become president if he's smart. Musk has said the conviction is unjust. Money supporting money, and from the perspective of money that can do no wrong.

[Brian Peacock]

Talking of money. Brand apparently moved £8.7 million out of one of his companies to protect it from any compensation claims.

In other news, the tall one from Little Britain has been exposed for alleged groom of minors. There'd been a super-injunction in place until last week, which meant the press couldn't even report on the fact they couldn't report on something. The High Court removed that and his appeal to overturn the rescinding failed this afternoon.

So it turns out Russell Brand was able to secure an injunction to stop someone talking to the police.
