Brand fronted a largely forgotten docuseries for Play UK. Reappraising it is eye-
opening – not least because, as a star five years later, Brand said he was proud
of its ‘powerful’, jaw-dropping content. Play UK, a now defunct satellite channel
conceived as a TV version of Radio 1, gave him £250,000 to make a run of
gonzo-style comic documentaries. The show was called RE:Brand (even the
title’s gimmicky styling, also playing off Brand’s initials of Russell Edward Brand,
is “of its time”) and prided itself on smashing social taboos. Its near-the-
knuckle material looks even more queasy in the light of recent revelations.

They did read it, they just then stuffed their fingers in their ears and screamed "that was badly photoshopped by the global elite and big pharma". We saw it right here.

company's like youtube don't need to wait for an innocent/guilty verdict. It's their platform and they decide who gets kicked and who stays. They have applied the same approach to millions of other people so persecution just doesn't fly

Out of curiosity, for anyone attracted to men, is Brand actually good looking? I know it's subjective, but i've never understood his appeal.

He's not really my type but he's not bad looking

Wow!!!!

I didn't realise Brand had interviewed so many staunch right-wingers. Now I'm even more intrigued. Has he gone down this road for popularity or have his political views genuinely changed? :conf:

Companys like YouTube need to clean their act up full stop,some of the things they allow on their platform is disgusting and dont get me started on the animal abuse videos they let through,I suppose they have acted on this one as its a high profile case.

Sometimes I think it's easier than other times though. For example, Brand was at times (IMO) genuinely side-splittingly funny with his BB observations on Big Mouth. Those things will still be funny. His "slightly rapey" sex jokes - not so much.

But yeah. So many abusers in Hollywood for example, at both actor and production level, that many great movies would be out the window if we had to write every abusive bastard out of history.

I agree with all of this.

Also R Kelly is another one, a disgusting Human Being but Ignition in particular is a great song imo, I Believe I can Fly is another classic.

I also would listen to Lostprophets eventually as I do love Rock Music, admittedly that's probably my biggest hurdle to overcome though.:joker:

Some people like the "rockstar" look.

A YouTube channel that I watch called SomeOrdinaryGamers has spoke about Animal Abuse videos on YouTube in the past, you'd probably like his content because he does try to report these sick cases to the YouTube Moderators.

He also tries to deal with Paedophilia as well.

Andrew Neil compared the rise of Russell Brand to Jimmy Saville in a scathing attack on British culture.

The former BBC and GB News broadcaster, 74, appeared on Piers Morgan: Uncensored on Tuesday night where he offered his opinion on the investigation into Brand, which revealed multiple allegations of sexual assault which Brand has denied.

Neil slammed the ‘hypocrisy’ of people ‘rushing to dissociate themselves’ with Brand and asked why they were ‘ever associated with him in the first place,’ listing a large number of media outlets and networks Brand had been interviewed on or, in some cases, worked on.

He described Brand as ‘neither funny but consistently vulgar, rude and unwatchable,’ and asked why ‘the BBC, Channel 4, The Guardian, The News State, the Labour Party, ever want to be associated with essentially this sleazebag in the first place?’

The broadcaster went on to embark on a scathing takedown of British culture, which he said ‘elevates people of no talent, people of no redeeming value whatsoever, to the status of national icons,’ comparing the rise of Brand to that of Jimmy Saville.

‘I give you Jimmy Saville. The classic example of that. A man of no talent who had a hotline to Margaret Thatcher and the Royal Family and in a different way – I’m not comparing the two in terms of what they did – in a different way we elevated Russell Brand to be this man that seems to have the pulse of young people in British society, whose every word we should hang on, and was worthy of interviews on BBC’s Newsnight or Guardian conferences…’

He went on: ‘It’s just nonsense, and this power of celebrity which seems to have the ability to make sensible people stupid, this is another classic example of it and it is corrosive to our culture.’

Neil was also asked what some are describing as the ‘trial by media’ Brand is undergoing, but dismissed this, saying the media is doing what it is supposed to.

Referring to the Harvey Weinstein allegations, he said ‘women speaking to journalists first is an interim stage before seeking wider proceedings and facilitating their ability to do so. And I think that’s another plus to it.’

He continued: ‘It isn’t trial by media. The newspaper and TV station have done their job. Now if there’s going to be a trial it’s a job for the police … the job for the newspaper is to expose and reveal, that’s what they’ve done.’
