Tonight, ill be asking the punst tonight, ill be asking the pundits with a Million People expected to have turned to private health care by the end of the year, have brits given up on the nhs . Our woke museums rewriting history and as eco boffins say, we should only buy three items of clothing a year. What three would you pick . Plus, what three would you pick . Plus, the most important part of the show your emails, they come straight to my laptop market. Vaiews gbnews. Com. And this show has a golden rule. We dont do boring. Not on my watch. Do boring. Not on my watch. I just wont have it. A big two hours to come. We start with my big opinion. Every thing is a big opinion. Every thing is a point of division. These days, isnt it . Brexit veganism, trans rights , race. The interpretation rights, race. The interpretation of history. Harry and meghan versus the royal family. It goes on. Even the allegations surrounding Phillip Schofield and the bbcs huw edwards became yet another tribal war. Why would that be . Why is this happening . Well, glued to our happening . Well, glued to our smartphones and laptops for an unhealthy number of hours in the day, the ingenious algorithms dreamt up in Silicon Valley funnel us into one Identity Group or another where they hack our psychology and manipulate us into taking sides. Now, in the into taking sides. Now, in the good old days, we all thought different things. We agreed or we disagreed, and that was the end of it. Now, if we disagree, your opponent isnt just wrong. Theyre a bad person. Its unhealthy , its unhealthy, its counterproductive, and it threatens to wreck society. Its got to stop. Weve got to do something about what the internet and social media in particular is doing to us as a species. As a case in point, is species. As a case in point, is the devastating and horrific set of allegations against the actor and comedian Russell Brand , and comedian Russell Brand, allegations that could barely be more egregious rape, Sexual Assault and mental abuse. In assault and mental abuse. In a previous era. These allegations would be investigated by the authorities and you would hope that justice would prevail. That justice would prevail. Either way. However, in the last either way. However, in the last few years , things have been few years, things have been changing. Weve had trial by changing. Weve had trial by media with the likes of Paul Gambaccini and Cliff Richard accuse and judged and effectively hung , drawn and effectively hung, drawn and quartered by the media before being proved innocent. But with being proved innocent. But with the damage done particularly in the damage done particularly in the case of Cliff Richard, who was compensated , budgeted to the was compensated, budgeted to the tune of £2 million by the for bbc literally flying helicopters over his house following unfounded and since disproven allegations us. But now its not even tv channels, newspapers or Radio Networks that are rushing to judgement. Were doing it instantly via our own smartphones. Now i dont have smartphones. Now i dont have a clue whats going on with this Russell Brand story and neither do most of us. But it hasnt stopped scores of people on social media weighing in on either side with brand supporters calling him the victim of an establishment media deep state stitch up and others celebrating what they perceive to be this famously womanising narcissist not receiving his just deserts. It strikes me narcissist not receiving his just deserts. It strikes me as deeply wrong to take either view. These are human beings were talking about Russell Brand himself, who denies the allegations. Jones and his allegations. Jones and his alleged victims , whose harrowing alleged victims, whose harrowing stories were told in a compelling, well researched and fastidiously executed channel a documentary not to mention the bold journalism of the times and the sunday times. I agree with my friend and excellent colleague, emily carver , who colleague, emily carver, who struck the middle ground just right in what is emerging as yet another ridiculous culture war here is what emily carver had to say on twitter. Allegations of say on twitter. Allegations of sexual abuse should be taken very seriously. End of it is often the media who bring these things to light. And im grateful that they do so heres what ive got to say. Calm down, what ive got to say. Calm down, everyone , and stop taking sides everyone, and stop taking sides. Lets have a Proper Police investigation and due process. Let the alleged victims be heard in relation to those devastating allegations and let brand himself be innocent until Proven Guilty as enshrined in habeas corpus of 1166. Yes, that law module at uni wasnt a complete waste of time. The only goal here is not point scoring on twitter or instagram, but the truth and justice for. All are people wrong to rush to judgement on social media . Mark at gbnews. Com. How can these alleged crimes be yet another chapter in the ridiculous culture wars . Let me know your thoughts. Lets get the views of thoughts. Lets get the views of my top pundits , the uk director my top pundits, the uk director of the common sense society, emma webb , journalist and emma webb, journalist and broadcaster Michael Crick, and the leader of ukip, former conservative mp Neil Hamilton. Conservative mp Neil Hamilton. Emma, let me start with you. Your reaction to how the country and the world of social media have reacted to this story . I agree with what you said. I think Mary Harrington also wrote a great reaction to this in unherd today, trying to basically call for people to strike that balance because this is of justice. If as is an issue of justice. If as these serious allegations have been made, you know, this should been made, you know, this should be done through the law , i find be done through the law, i find it troubling that people are describing him as a sex offender when there have been no convictions. So i think its important that justice is done when serious allegations are made. But i think, as weve seen in many other cases, theres this sort of rush to mob justice. And just because allegations have been made, that doesnt that the truth doesnt mean that the truth of those yet been established. Yes, michael, youll know about trial by media now. Its trial by smartphone, isnt it . Well, the extraordinary thing is , mark, come here every is, mark, i come on here every few weeks and there am few weeks and there i am adopting the centrist position against your extreme views. And i now find youve joined me and emma has as well. Ive gone woke. Ive gone woke. Yes, its official. Yes, its official. Yes, its official. Well, well on to that well, well come on to that later. But youre absolutely later. But but youre absolutely right. And indeed, gb right. I mean, and indeed, gb news contributes to this well news contributes to this as well , afraid im sure we , im afraid to say. Im sure we do. And the, you know, do. Im sure. And the, you know, Russell Brand , we dont know the Russell Brand, we dont know the witnesses against him are largely anonymous. I they largely anonymous. I they havent gone to the police. And havent gone to the police. And i suspect that if this goes to court, well, i dont think it will go to court because these people havent gone to the police up to now. Its possible, police up to now. Its possible, i suppose, other women will i suppose, that other women will come. But i think come forward. But i think probably the evidence wont be enough to convict him in terms of beyond reasonable doubt. And yet the evidence will be too balanced for him to win a libel action and so it probably wont go to court and yet his reputation will probably never recover in just the same way that Philip Schofield and huw edwards and indeed 1 or 2 colleagues around here, there reputations may not recover from allegations like this. Now, as for this allegation of trial by media, the media does a good job at investigating stories that the authorities have often failed to investigate. And now its a pejorative term trial by media. A lot of the journalists on our television is very Good Journalism , and its a lot journalism, and its a lot better journalism than it was when i started 45 years ago. When i started out 45 years ago. As per carvers tweet in as per emily carvers tweet in which she has said that its lucky that Media Outlets are exposing potential crimes, especially by individuals who may be powerful , may be especially by individuals who may be powerful, may be abusing that power. Neil hamilton, your reaction to from these allegations . Well, i think im probably the only person here this evening who actually faced evening who has actually faced allegations of rape which were made to the police in my case, but were after a month of battle with them from one part of the media to another. They they dropped the entire case. So i have some sympathy with not just Russell Brand, but anybody who is faced with allegations of this kind. If those allegations are denied. But the rush to judgement is very corrosive and coruscating isnt it . Of course, ive spent a lifetime with people rushing to judgement about me , and to judgement about me, and thats just something you have to put up with. But this kind of case is not the same as political judgements. Of course political judgements. Of course these are criminal allegations. These are criminal allegations. If theyre followed through and he could face a long period in prison if he were to be convicted. So and given the convicted. So and given the lottery, which is our Justice System laughably called Justice System, then , you know, you system, then, you know, you never know what the outcome might be. But you might find it improbable that anybody would welcome being poured by a scrofulous scarecrow like Russell Brand. But theres no accounting for taste , is there . Accounting for taste, is there . Well, you win tonights dictionary corner for scrofulous and stop the press folks. And stop the press folks. Mark dolan agrees with Michael Crick and vice versa. Dont get used to it. Michael crick and vice versa. Dont get used to it. Coming up next in the big story, will Russell Brands alleged victims ever justice . And will brand ever get justice . And will brand have a chance to clear his name . Both questions raised now by michael ill be asking michael there. Ill be asking barrister and former star barrister and former tv star jerry hayes. Plus, well jerry hayes. Plus, well be joined top tv producer and joined by a top tv producer and director worked with director who has worked with some of the biggest names in the world and world of comedy and entertainment thats radio. Well, a big reaction to my big opinion. Opinion. Im not happy with the fallout from the allegations around Russell Brand on either side. People are trying to score points, whether theyre supporting brand or rather the opposite. The bottom line is we dont take sides. We need the law to have due process. How about this from jim who says, mark, we find social media totally disturbing and have stopped using all of it. On balance, we feel that the world will be a better place without social media, particularly children. I would ban all social children. I would ban all social media, particularly tiktok and instagram. Of course, when i was talking the big opinion, talking about the big opinion, i did point out that so much of this tribalism even around a story Russell Brand, is story like Russell Brand, is swept up and talked up by social media. This from richard taking a view on anything based on social media content is depressingly numb , says richard. Depressingly numb, says richard. Just watch gb news. Its all you need. Just watch gb news. Its all you need. Well said, richard. Annie need. Well said, richard. Annie says , i deplore trial by media says, i deplore trial by media and if somebody goes to the media before the police, any legal action should be null and void. And last but not least, void. And last but not least, kim says , great to see you at kim says, great to see you at 9 pm, kim says, great to see you at 9 pm, very interesting tonight with your take on the news in your fabulous fashion. Jim, thank you for that. Better go to thank you for that. Better go to specsavers. Keep those emails coming, marc, at gbnews. Com. Its time now for the big story. And lets get more on the fallout from the shocking allegations surrounding comedian and brand , the bbc and actor Russell Brand<
