Which end of the face-stamping jackboot do you want to be on?
Where is Brand's 'blatant lawbreaking'? There is a claim that he historically raped someone, which I've already said should go through the courts, otherwise it's just nonsense about 'emotional abuse' and him being 'a bit rough' and other assorted unprovable claims.
Imagine if you were a journalist (you can't string two coherent sentences together, so that would never happen) and you had carte blanche to 'out' celebrities for various alleged crimes? Given your obsession with the likes of Trump, Boris, Farage, and most people right of centre - the shit you post about them on here to a miniscule audience, would be shit reported in a newspaper to a much wider audience, and some might actually believe you, ie some mud will stick.
So no, letting a journalist write what he or she wants to, without being cross-examined or providing suitable evidence, isn't the way to serve up justice.
