While there have been plenty of people who have volunteered anecdotes about Russell Brand’s behaviour in the 1990s and early 2000s

… it should be noted that it basically doesn’t say anything more about him than he said himself in his own book, Booky Wook.

The “confessions” have a patina of shame over a base of pride of what a lad he was, that they were childish indiscretions of a man in his 20s and 30s. It’s a bit easy not to like him. There’s been much sense in his defence by Senator Babet, with the implication that the accusations are without evidence, but at least one accuser have external evidence of presenting to a sexual health nurse who had advised her to go to the police.

As some of you know, a member of my family suffered what was used to call an indecent assault at her workplace some years ago. I told her she should go to the police, others said it would be useless … in the end, others were right. Her word against his, “misunderstanding” etc. But that is certainly still what I think should happen, even though it can be easier said than done.and even though the short term outcome might be nothing. Get it on record.

I never like Russell Brand, he always made me feel “off”.

Also, yes, get the assault on record.
