Earlier, one victim told the court Brand was "a sexual predator who has no remorse... I just hope he is not allowed to hurt any more women".

    The man was a walking red flag - it really shouldn’t have taken this long for him to have been found out.

      Noel Fielding? Really? I’m out of the loop on this. David Walliams though, publishers don’t drop highly lucrative book deals for nothing!

          Yep, all details starting to come out now after his failed attempt to suppress the allegations. Grooming 15 year old girls, he’s going to be sharing a cell with Brand.

          Weinstein and Saville changed everything I think. These predators are dropping like flies, may they all face justice.

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
