The news item appeared on the very same day that the Beeb reported the jailing of a woman for 8½ years for multiple false rape allegations.
Despite this, and nothing having been proven against Brand, I had to be very careful about removing negative implications in the report I quoted above in order to produce a short, objective and dispassionate post.
The Metro throws about words like "troubling" and "worryingly", and makes snide remarks about Brand's perceived political stance.
Only in the very last line of a lengthy article do they include the words, "Brand has not been arrested, charged, or found guilty of any crimes."

Regardless of what Brand has or hasn't done, false allegations are rare and the amount of rapists who get off without even going to trial is absolutely ridiculous. We are all aware he's not been found guilty but I do hope he faces trial and answers these allegations somewhere.
In all honesty though, my comment was more disbelief that anyone has any interest in what he has to say full stop.
