I guess he wasn't famous enough to get his own series of "Fame on Trial".

If they find Brand guilty I hope they throw the Booky Wook at him.


Sorry!

I'm usually in the camp wanting to reduce the use of our Victorian prisons in favour of cheaper and more effective measures; in this case I'd be happy to see him serve every day of his sentence.

It's far too lightweight to do any good. You need a heavyweight, leather-bound, big bible.

The Prods Loyalists always struck me as the party of entitlement.

I'm not following any of the large number of podcasts and youtube commentary daily or any discussions but from the item reports on TV News whilst my impression is he's trying to play the reformed character and very religious, that he seems to be denying the accusations and showing no remorse might mean that if found guilty he will be sentenced at the more severe end of the range.

Sort of. Genuine remorse is considered to be a mitigating factor and reduce the sentence. Lack of remorse however cannot be considered as an aggravating factor. Thusly he will serve longer than if he were remorseful. It may also affect his ability to be released on license as it may be considered that a lack of acceptance of his crime and lack of remorse might be considered as a risk.
