Although this is about Russell Brand, don’t make this about Russell Brand. This is about the Government trying to destroy a man’s career before he is found guilty of a crime.

While true, it's also a mistake to make this about a crime. The government has no right to destroy Russell Brand's career regardless of whether he's guilty.

Good point. WTF do they think they are doing? Since when is government supposed to direct trial by media?

LOL at our funhouse mirror world in which Rupert fucking Murdoch is an anti-elite champion of free speech.

Ironically, on the same day, the UK government decided to go into full Orwellian mode, trying to restrict freedom of speech on somebody who has not (yet?) been found guilty of any crime.

I’m sure almost everybody knows what the Magna Carta is but for those of you who don’t:

“Magna Carta is Latin for ‘great charter' and the term was first used in 1217 to distinguish it from the Charter of the Forest, a document that also set out limits on the king's administration, this time of the royal forest, areas of the country set aside for royal hunting and subject to much harsher laws and restrictions. Both charters set out what the king could and could not do. In other words, Magna Carta set out the laws which the king and everyone else had to follow for the first time.”

In total there were 63 clauses in the Magna Carta but only four are still valid today. One of these clauses is as follows:

“No free man shall be seized, imprisoned, dispossessed, outlawed, exiled or ruined in any way, nor in any way proceeded against, except by the lawful judgement of his peers and the law of the land”.

But apparently the UK Government no longer has to follow this clause anymore and are actively trying to ruin a man before a lawful judgement has been made. I’m of course referring to the Russell Brand investigation from the weekend which I discussed yesterday. And as I said yesterday, we have no idea if he is guilty or not but he must remain innocent until proven guilty.
