It will come as no surprise that the fashmob are springing to Brand's defence. Their charge list for sexual criminality is longer than the autumn shadows, and this clerical con man's HDD might well be worth a look.

At best he's a former c-list celebrity best known for getting a cheap laugh from an elderly man fifteen years ago. The tinfoil hatters have made him into a man so important that the Establishment, big pharma and the media have to bring him down.

He went on to be a Hollywood A lister with a pop star wife, ubiquitous TV guest and a huge stand up draw. With expensive lawyers.

Every single man declaiming the alleged victims "should have done something at the time" and "why wait for X years?" is someone I think it's entirely fair to be deeply fucking suspicious. If someone is asking why a ten year old sex charge is something anyone should give credit to, I want to know what they were at ten years ago.

Yeah, he was huge for a few years. Nowadays he has a YouTube channel, however he does have 6.6 million subscribers which is a way bigger platform than eg GBNews.

Edit: According to Dispatches, which I've now viewed, he has 64 million followers on social media, he's clearly still much more popular than I thought.

Another GB News head here, and usually vociferous support of free speech. Which doubtless involves compulsory advertising on GB News, but not investigative journalism.

Get some deodorant

Brand was alright in Death on the Nile, mainly because he was following a script, and surrounded by proper actors (Branagh, Bening, Gadot etc). Come to think of it, Armie Hammer was in that too. That's another one going in the Spacey file then.

erm, Kevin Spacey was cleared of all charges.

I know. Still, tell me when you next see Seven or American Beauty in the TV listings.

Sarah Vine has now come riding to his defence. As somebody said on twitter early you can tell a lot about Brand from the kind of people who are rushing out to defend him.

He's got a bit of previous for this sort of thing.

Mandy Rhodes, the editor of Holyrood, said the Respect party MP's remarks that Assange was guilty of just "bad manners" by failing to ask permission to have sex with a sleeping woman, had left her "frankly gobsmacked".

[Andy McDandy]

Entitled fucks who think everything is someone else's fault, and that they should be free to do whatever they want.

Yeah, not good company.

[davidjay]

If he was such a danger to whoever might be worried by his bollocks ramblings, wouldn't it be a lot easier to have him quietly bumped off than make a lengthy documentary about him?

[MisterMuncher]

You can't take out with a screwdriver what was put in with a hammer. These gobshites are impervious to logic.

[Abernathy]

It’s all a witch hunt, a political stitch-up, a blatant attempt to have Julian Assange/Donald Trump/Russell Brand “cancelled” and silenced because they are telling the truth.

Of course we are. And as someone else has said, the people shouting about innocent until proven guilty and the woman are liars are invariably the same ones who'll put a brick through the front windows of the man living on his own down the road because he looks a bit odd so he must be a peedo.

It's only a matter of time till someone, and I'm going to put a tenuous fiver on it being Lawrence Fox, starts to describe rape accusations as a badge of honour.

It's also so utterly predictable that the same professional slabbers will also be the ones to take aim at the likes of Starmer et al about not prosecuting Savile whilst he was still alive either without a hint of irony, or even blatently revelling in their obvious contradictions. In their squeals that this "should only be taken to court" they are not interested in justice being fairly applied under the rule of law - they want it to smear those that accuse PULs like Brand knowing how difficult it is to get a successful prosecution for rape or other sexual assault so hey could then shout "Brand is innocent! He didn't do it!" not realising that's not how it works, while at the same time damming the same system persecuting Assange, whom if eventually convicted will be a miscarriage of justice (or even the same concerning Brand if he eventually got it coming to him).

I'm not gonna lie, the legal system itself is not infallible and it is pretty much impossible to ensure that it can't fail at all, but those defending Brand aren't interested in such nuances in the wider picture - to them, it's just another game to play out in public the same way Fa**ge done concerning his 0.1%er bank account, and to hell with the collateral damage inflicted to others they they regard lower that what they wipe off the sole of their shoes in their wake. The old Christopher Hitchens quote concerning fecal matter, enemas & match boxes spring to mind concerning them, as well as a significantly large part still of the UK (and likely the USA) entertainment/media industry as a whole.

[Andy McDandy]

Sarah Vine has weighed in. I'll not link it, because it's what you might predict: salacious detailing of all the accusations, with a hasty top and tail of isn't #MeToo a lot of silly nonsense, and PIUPG.
