Rebutting Russell Brand

The New Statesman may be lamenting the passing of Russell Brand’s status as a “Sexy Communist”, but Russell wants us all to know that he still keeps the red flag flying here. A tricky proposition for old Rus’, can you be a died in the wool trot’ AND a slave of Mammon? Maybe we’ll find that Russell Brand is less of a sexy communist and more of a vulgar capitalist!

It’s been a busy few weeks for Russell Brand, since his corporate overlords at Rumble central called him to their Florida HQ staff party for his ill-judged photo-op with Donald Trump Jnr , on Feb 25th 2022.

This is intended to be an occasional column dedicated to subjects that Russell Brand is surprisingly quiet about or has discussed in the past but dropped when, for example, the story starts to contradict his narrative. Today, we're talking, or instead not talking, about the opioid epidemic!
