Russell Brand

[Pentonville]

Dispatches tonight could be about him so he has jumped in first dismissing claims and rumours and saying anything he did in past was consensual. No doubt it will be said that this is The Matrix coming after him due to his opposition to mainstream media.

"Jaan, I don’t see what point you’re trying to make. And I’ve given numerous examples of why Russell Brand is now a part of the right. You just choose to either not read it, not believe it, or purposely be a contrarian. I don’t see why you’re fighting it so hard. I can only guess you, and others like you (which is the majority of this site) feel like I’m attacking you and personally calling you right wing because you like him?"

"What, this sort of thing you mean? Hammer and Pickle 10:43 Fri Dec 9 Re: Is Putin about to make a big mistake? I suggest any pub carpark in London. Look, I fucking hate cunts like you and I will fucking kill you in front of your wanker friends"

[Hammer and Pickle]

"Wouldn't it be nice, therefore, if the posters who actually made an effort to contribute to sensible discussion on political subjects were able to do so without being molested by the usual twats."

"deanjcrawford 8:05 Tue Sep 19 Of course there are right wing, conservative channels. They still have to adhere to YouTube policy guidelines, otherwise they get demonetised and shadow banned by their algorithm. His channel isn’t right wing/ conservative though, and he has far less an audience on Rumble."

[Dwight Van Mann]

"Don't be too hard on yourself, Pickle"

[Hammer and Pickle]

"Some good discussion on this thread. Shame about the social cases trying to disrupt it but we can live with that, I suppose."

[deanjcrawford]

"Jaan, Are you saying there aren’t right wing, conservative channels on YouTube? And I don’t see how Brand being demonetised has anything to do with him appealing to the right of or the left. If anything it proves my point, because now he’ll be on Rumble full time. A right wing site."

"I had a YouGov poll come in on this the second question started According to a recent YouGov survey, 60% of UK adults dislike or really dislike Brand while 16% like or really like him, and 24% don’t know… That's him fucked then"

"Stewie and 360 talking proper sense on here, kudos to you both. This is such an own goal up by the media - it‚Äôs alienated a large sector of the population who have realised what their game is. Even if RB does get charged I cannot see him getting convicted by a jury as the media have made this whole issue about a bigger thing. I think he‚Äôs a grifter cսnt who has spent the last ten years preparing for this day and tbf to him he‚Äôs played a blinder. He seems to have United many on the left and right, hard to imagine anything doing that in the current climate. The fact that ‚ÄòAlice‚Äô now works for channel 4 is an absolute piss take. I‚Äôm surprised they have the gall. Team Russel for me, the manipulative noncey prick"

[oioi]

"""Channel 4 has also removed episodes featuring him from their streaming service, including one episode of Celebrity Bake Off"" Thank god for that, I'm safe from being offended."

[Jaan Kenbrovin]

‘Because I’ve said Brand makes most of his money from the right? ‘ I’m not sure how you think YouTube is right wing? Especially seeing as he has been demonetised.

[BRANDED]

Its not exactly I believe in Liberal Democracies and the rule of law is it? Its not I believe in Enlightenment reason and Equality of all people.

[stewie griffin]

"""I don’t like racism, homophobia, transphobia"" i reckon 99% of people - with the other 1% being the very extreme right - don't like these things either. The definition of these terms is generally where the battleground is these days."

"Alfs 7:23 Tue Sep 19 But it's still owned, is it not? Does being ""publicly"" owned mean that it need take no responsibility for costs & returns? Or is it funded by an ever-fruiting money-tree where it can spend what the fuck it likes, on what it likes, whenever it likes without hindrance? The public (as always) will pick up the headline and any resulting underlying collateral costs for now and ever after."

"""So because the left like to cry, that means the right don’t do it either? The right has definitely developed a victim complex over the last few years. You just have to look at anything Donald Trump says"" completely agree - which is why i don't have any social media accounts"

"Dwight Van Mann 7:22 Tue Sep 19 Re: Russell Brand dean is one of these new Tranfica lot. Probably strumming his mangled pagina over all the replies Because I’ve said Brand makes most of his money from the right? Yet I’ve said he hasn’t been convicted of anything and deserves due process? Bloody hell, you lot are a bunch of fucking snowflakes, aren’t you…"

[Alfs]

"Wrong again, Oxsaw. C4 is publicly owned."

[Dwight Van Mann]

dean is one of these new Tranfica lot. Probably strumming his mangled pagina over all the replies

"Dean Right. So you dont specifically work from rationality, logic and critical enquiry?"

[Kaiser Zoso]

Not sure making money is the motive behind rich oligarchs desire to own the media You’ve only got to look at Epstein’s flight log to see what censorship privileges accrue to the mega rich

[Mike Oxsaw]

"threesixty 6:32 Tue Sep 19 Wouldn't argue with a word of that. When the headline screeching fuckwits calm down a little and realise how important this really is, whoever the alleged victims/perpetrators are then we might get somewhere. Doesn't make good copy/sell advertising space that, though. Don't forget that, above all else, Channel 4, The Time and The Sunday Times only exist to make money for the owners."

[deanjcrawford]

"Miike, I’m not a left wing looney nor am I shutting Brand down. I simply pointed out that Brand is now a right wing champion and people have jumped on me for that. So I respond. As for you saying there is no right wing…I don’t understand that opinion. There clearly is a right and a far right. And I’m not only talking about the UK, Brand is most popular in the US. I’m including them in my opinions. Most of my opinions in fact. Stewie, It’s all whataboutism, isn’t it? So because the left like to cry, that means the right don’t do it either? The right has definitely developed a victim complex over the last few years. You just have to look at anything Donald Trump says. He’s either being attacked by the FBI, the DOJ, Democrats, voting systems - everyone is lying and out to get him. Which has trickled down the everyman feeling attacked, that the left are coming for your guns (in the US) or trying to make you gay or make your kids trans, or immigrants taking your jobs. But anyway, I see the point you’re trying to make, but I don’t see why you’re making it at me. I’m not trying to point out the virtues of being left or right wing, I’m saying that Brand is a grifter that saw where the money was, and he’s pandering to the right. Eerie, What have I made up? Every example I’ve given has come from things Brand or Brand lovers have said. But like Stewart Lee said in his bit with the cabbie, “well yeah, you can prove anything with facts, can’t you?” Branded, I don’t see what my beliefs have to do with the fact Brand now makes the majority of his money from the right. I’m center left, I guess. I don’t like racism, homophobia, transphobia, believe in socialised healthcare, don’t believe in uncontrolled immigration."
