[“Ukraine risks a demographic collapse as the armed conflict drags on, The Economist reported. According to the weekly magazine, the population inside Kiev-controlled territory has fallen from about 37 million to 27-28 million since 2022. About 3-5 million Ukrainians now live in Russia, while more than five million have moved to other countries: https://vk.cc/d3DBvg“]
My own assessment of Owen Jones from nearly 8 years ago (includes updates):
Interesting point.
Note how Jewish-owned LBC is, like most of the msm in the UK, pushing the “war with Russia” propaganda.
A very good observation by Tom Roswell regarding the former darling of the System, Russell Brand. The moment he started to say unpleasant things about some of the obnoxious representatives of the New World Order, he was “shot down in flames”.
I am sure he is innocent of those ridiculous accusations; he was idolised by lots of young tarts who I am sure were more than willing to spend some time with him. This legal farce is one of the System´s favourite weapons against those who turn against it.

Hard to know what to think. I certainly dislike the look and manner of the Brand person (and always did, even 20+ years ago), but as you say there seem to have been many young(?) women willing to do whatever he wanted, purely because he is rich, famous, and generally the flavour of the month.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, with my barristerial background, I guessed correctly that Brand would be acquitted on some of the charges. As for sentence, I used to be quite good at predicting sentences but, after many years now out of the Bar, cannot claim to be guessing in a very educated way as to what he will get by way of sentence. Also, I have not followed much of the detail of the trial.
He can only be sentenced for what he has been proven to have done, so 1 rape, 3 sexual assaults and, as I understand, 4 separate victims. The likely range would be 5-10 years (max for rape is life— rarely handed down). If he gets ~7 for the rape (bearing in mind “inequality of power” etc) and 1 year for each sexual assault, but multiple convictions are subject to the “totality principle”, i.e. it is not just a mathematical exercise. I suppose he might get 8 years altogether, so might actually do 4, but that is, as said, a guess.
Anyway, though I never liked him, I doubt he is anywhere near the worst person around, and I do not like to kick a man when he is down, usually.
