I am glad to see accountability for Brand and Walliams, but I worry that the festival of hindsight misses the fact that these men only faced consequences when their professional value had collapsed, and right now a successful man is probably getting with similar.

Maybe I’m lucky (again)
My regular 30+ medications are issued in two month batches and are auto reordered and issued when I reach the last seven days supply
The reorder to pharmacy collection or delivery is rarely more than 48 hours

I should add here that if I haven’t collected them within three days I receive a text reminder with the offer of delivery

I’m not sure this really helps
“We didn’t know at the time and unfortunately, maybe had people come forward or felt able to… it was a different era”
It was a terrible decision at the time and today with hindsight it was worse
Too many words
Keep it simple
“We are sorry”

Lucy Powell has defended Ed Miliband's appearance on Russell Brand's YouTube show in the run up to the general election in 2015
Powell, who was the vice chairman of Labour's election campaign at the time, said that it took place in a 'different era' when his predatory behaviour had not been exposed
But at the time of the interview Brand has already lost his BBC Radio 2 show for leaving a series of lewd messages on the actor Andrew Sachs' phone about his granddaughter. He had also been fired from XFM for reading pornography out on air
Powell told Sky News: “We weren’t in the social media age at the time, so where you could maybe search things up and see allegations or things about somebody
“And, as I say, if there was any suggestion at all, we were dealing with someone who was a known sexual predator at the time then, of course, no one would have done that
“But as I say, he was a well-known public figure. Lots of people, from Hollywood to the BBC to many others, gave this person a very, very powerful platform
“We didn’t know at the time and unfortunately, maybe had people come forward or felt able to… it was a different era.”

One small defence of a bit of what Lucy Powell said: Social media in 2026 is very different to social media in 2015 and any person denying that is a fool
So it could be said that we are in a new era, probably the 5th wave of SM

In 2015 Labour leadership and many Labour commentators were desperate for a way to connect with disillusioned younger voters
In search of a “youth wave”
They wanted to be “down with the kids”
And someone named Brand said Brand was the solution
And the leadership fell for it

An Early Day Motion tabled by LABOUR MP Andrew Mackinlay
“That this House considers the behaviour of Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand to be base and vulgar; and further considers that it diminishes the reputation of the BBC and should not be funded by the licence fee”

PM Gordon Brown and LOTO David Cameron also criticised the broadcast
Condemnation was not a right or left thing
To say it was is adopting a narrative that Brand tried to spread

Haven’t had a Bacon Chop for ages
Last time was at The Cyclist pub in Balham a few years ago and I couldn’t resist them
They are like very thick bacon rashers
The second photograph is how they served them
I will probably have one for breakfast and one for tea (separate days)
