What's going on?

Firstly, regarding the recent fiasco's with Russell Brand and David Walliams, prosecutions should have been levelled at them for impersonating "comedians". Nothing either of them has submitted as entertainment, in my opinion has ever reached any level that could have been described as remotely funny. Evidently another well known entertainer has been implicated and is seeking anonymity behind an injunction, widely believed to be, according to the jungle drums, J.R., who came out the other day condemning the likes of Russell Brands antics as inexcusable, another was supposedly a star in Only Fools and Horses. It appears to be turning in to a
witch-hunt. I just wonder if a lot of it is absolute fabrication. You have these so called icons of comedy that have seemingly lured young ladies in to bed and had there way with them, something which seemed prevalent a few years ago, with these young women queuing up at the stage door, screaming in adoration. If there is a case to answer on any of it then let the law take it's course and punish them accordingly, but I do have doubts as to the validity of some of it.

We are in agreement about the comedic skills of those you mention.
I have a clear memory of a radio broadcast where Brand (with Johnathan Ross in the background) had telephoned Andrew Sachs to tease him about having sex with his granddaughter. It was sick and disgusting. I recall J.R. backed off for a period of time because even he thought it was beyond the pale. Just Google "Russell Brand/Andrew Sachs phone call" for more details.

The law did take its course with Russell Brand. A jury listened to the evidence and convicted him
