World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I bet he's pissed, the crime he got arrested for the U.S. President had to just pay a fine.
No one shoukd be surprised.
He was blackballed by Film and TV companies for being a creep, and had to jump on the Right Wing grifter circuit to make real money, and feed his narcissism.
Russell Brand? More.like rapist.
This asswipe always shows up in my search results when I try and search up "The Trews". I want to listen to the Canadian band, not his shitty little "news" show.
THANK YOU. I know I can scroll through it, but I get tired of waiting.
I'm always yearning for better search results.
I can't stop laughing, it's like every inhibition has died.
Sounds like you might be a bit of a paranoid freak. Do you need someone to hold you in their arms?
I can only hope, meet me at the corner of hollis and morris.
edit: seriously, from someone from a border town, we stand on guard for thee.
This.. is sadly not a surprise. That dude has given me the creeps for a long time.
His YouTube thumbnails pretty much tells you he's looks like an insane homeless person
I mean, last insane homeless person I ran into threw his arm around me like we were lifelong buddies and told me all the things he'd seen that day that he found cool/interesting, not tried to assault me.
Looks like they changed the headline on you, there is no claim he has been arrested, just charged.
Please fix the headline or we'll have to remove it.
Detained is often used interchangeably with arrested, as annoying as it is. And he would have been, if he was charged.
He wasn't detained either. He was charged by mail with a summons(postal requisition) and told to show up for his court date in May. In the US an investigative detention means stopping you in one place while in the UK detention generally only means bringing you to the police station and holding you for a charge. In the UK they call the former a stop. You'd have to necessarily be arrested for the later. He didn't have either happen. I don't even think he's in the UK right now(which is likely why they did a postal requisition for a crime as serious as rape without issuing an arrest warrant and starting the extradition process). They want him to come in on his own.
Supposedly they did interview him at one point but that's about it.
That's true, but the headline doesn't say arrested.
"I've never engaged in nonconsensual activity, I pray that you can see that by looking in my eyes," the actor continued…
Nice little touch there by the journalist.
He actually does look like a cleaned up version of Charlie Manson in the photo.
Yeah, no swastika yet.
Isn't he tattood with Buddha's and Hindu symbols? Like a gropey yoga class teacher.
Given his deep interest in sparking a race war and his prolific lying/endless nonsense jabbering, I'm gonna guess that's something he has said, but that wouldn't necessarily make it true. He has said a lot of things, many of which are just as garbage as everything else we know to be in his heart.
Buy, hey! Every cloud has its silver lining! He might be a racist, cult leading, serial killer by proxy, but did you know that he was also almost a Beach Boy? They even recorded some of his songs and I am100% not joking. Rely meks u thenk 🤔
Edit: it only occurred to me you may have been talking about Brand after commenting. And I-oops!
Hopefully that means he won't be on the big fat quiz anymore. Always hated him but seemed to be a fan favorite
I thought he wasn't even in the UK to be arrested. Did he go back?
Edit:
Brand has not been placed under arrest, the Met tells NPR. The agency says he was interviewed and then charged via "postal requisition" — a court summons informing him of the charges.

I guess the OP thinks he got arrested by mail since that's not even the article title.
So many scum bags in the world.
What happened to him?
Just being on brand
An innate proclivity for raping women.
That'd be easy, wouldn't it? That we could just find all the people with bad thoughts and stick them somewhere they can't hurt anyone. Sadly the real world doesn't work that way, were we can divide everything into "good people" and "bad people".
Sometimes it's as much, or more, about nurture as it is nature.
