Might be worth giving Russell Brand his own thread, particularly since C4 Dispatches is about to run a major expose of some "very serious allegations" of abuse against him .
Brand is a strange character. I never found him remotely funny as a comedian - more deeply, deeply tedious, rather- and in recent years he has re-invented himself as some sort of conspiracy theory espousing crank. Still desperately tedious.
So is he the Alex Jones de nos jours, or the Rolf Harris de nos jours??
Or perhaps both ?

These allegations pertain to the time when I was working in the mainstream, when I was in the newspapers all the time, when I was in the movies. And as I've written about extensively in my books, I was very, very promiscuous.
"Now, during that time of promiscuity, the relationships I had were absolutely always consensual. I was always transparent about that then, almost too transparent, and I'm being transparent about it now as well.
"And to see that transparency metastasised into something criminal that I absolutely deny makes me question, is there another agenda at play
