He’s sides with Putin, he supported the trucker protest, he posts mostly on right wing video sites, he’s clearly sitting in a very particular camp. Supporting Putin, largely a left wing tankey pursuit in my experience. Well the pursuit of cunts and morons, but ones who claim to be left wing. He’s also endorsed Trump multiple times if that helps. |

Also it was never really a point that he himself is right wing, just that he’s very clearly courting them.

I just think he's a cunt and moron first and foremost. His politics appear to have always been all over the shop. The likes of George Monbiot decreeing him deffo right wing now is because Monbiot has buyers remorse, likes to divide the world into goodies and baddies and is also a fucking moron because of it. |

That certainly reads like a conspiracy against Brand.

Jesus wept, how grim a scene is this
“She says the driver replied that his daughter was the same age and entreated Alice: “Please, I’m asking you not to go in there, you could be my little girl, and I would want someone to do this for her.” He offered to take her home without charge, but Alice insisted she was fine. “He had just such a sad look in his eyes,” she recalls.”

Just want to point out to everyone that this is Russel Brand talking about fucking, not Piers Morgan. It’s not made exceptionally clear. |

That is a tough read. The texts following the rape in LA are so incredibly damning yet he will still have defenders claiming it’s fake, even though if it were he would sue for millions, not upload some bullshit “everyone’s out to get me” spiel on Twitter. |

"hiding in plain sight" should actually mean "shouting about what he was doing but nobody did anything"

Already loads going on full defensive mode for him on twitter. No surprise, all have Blue Ticks. |

There's an entire industry built around bedding women. The language reminds me of "pick up artists" and dating coaches that talk about negging and peacocking.
The language in that tweet/excerpt sounds fairly similar.

You have to wonder back when the #metoo movement started, Brand went “Oh shit… they’ve become self-aware!”

Writing children's books is what you do when you can't write regular books to a high enough standard isn't it? Like when you become a classroom assistant rather than a teacher. (I'm joking, mostly, but I'm sure there's an element of truth there). That's more YA stuff. Childrens books, especially the picture books, are almost an art unto themselves. Walliams does (very shit) ones for slightly older kids. As someone else said childrens books are like a closed shop. |

A tough read Hope it gives the - no doubt - other victims the strength to speak out. Oddest part in it was: A spokesman for John Noel Management, the agency that represented Brand from 2002 to 2017, said that for legal reasons (on which “they cannot elaborate”), they were not in a position to respond to questions. |

Others that describe sexual violence are horrible of course but the image this conjures of the driver knowing what was going to happen and not being successful in turning her away from it is so sad. |

My guess is they wanted to fire him for his bad behaviour, he threatened to sue and they compromised on parting quietly with NDAs all round |
