This.👇Grylls faithwashed a rapist and is now scrubbing his hands off responsibility. He amplified Brand's dishonest efforts to sanitise himself - and to misuse religion as a cover for his crimes. And even now, Grylls is thoroughly unrepentant, describing his publicity stunt for Brand as part of some sort of brilliant symbol of religiosity and forgiveness. Part of faith is self-reflection and accountability. That's beyond Grylls, it seems.
Replying to @BearGrylls
You were a big part of his publicity campaign to portray himself as a godly person. You didn't have to do it all in front of the camera. Yet you did.

#Pompey politely ask fans to be in their seats by 12.15pm on Saturday, as we remember all those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
We'd also like to remind supporters not to clap The Last Post, as the minute's silence will immediately follow.

In a Parliament that contains x2 Military Cross holders, one of which also has a DSO, OBE and MiD to his name, and where at least 3 others hold military MBEs, I’m finding the Reform attack line that they have today revealed the most experienced military man in politics curious

We need to end this myth that the private sector runs things well, and the public sector runs things badly, before it is too late.
It is very easy to make the public sector look bad by starving it of money and resources over time. We must learn to see through this.

If you’re wondering how hard it is to get a rape conviction, it took six women, all of whom
testified against him, to get the jury to believe he raped only one of them. Now imagine how hard it is when a woman on her own is trying to get justice against her rapist.

After witnessing the bravery of the women at the Russell Brand trial - and seeing what the cross examination was like - wanted to repost this from 2023 about why women might decide not to report rape
I don’t know what happened with Russell Brand. He denies criminality.
But I DO understand why women might not report rape to the police
My take on tonight’s #PoliticsHub 👇

Now Russell Brand's been convicted of rape, we need to talk about Sylvie Berki. Because she can't speak for herself.
In 2014, Ms Berki said she'd been assaulted by Russell Brand.
But if she talks about it, even now, she risks jail.

CNN was scheduled to be today’s TV pool. But the White House blocked us from being allowed in for the president’s event in the Oval Office that’s now underway. That means none of the five networks will have audio or video of his remarks.

Alternative view: without the bravery of the women involved - supported by @RosamundUrwin & @char_wace of the Sunday Times, and @geraldine_mck then of @C4Dispatches but now of our parish - Russell Brand’s crimes may never have come to light.

Hi @McivorJaymey, your whole party has been silent on George Madgwick (since he was arrested in January).
Surely you have something to say?
