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!

 Breaking news, Russell Partying with Trump Jnr and Kimberly Guilfoyle The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

  Real screenshot from  Jan 19th Rumble video Russell Brand, strict vegan, anti-corporation and anti-capitalist. Is this the devil’s bargain you make when you sign a contract with Rumble? Update: 2/15 - I suspect this is some kind of troll. Would McDonalds want their name associated with something as partisan as Rumble. Or Russell? This may be a rouse to distract from the fact that he is doing paid advertising now. Perhaps he hopes his critics will embarrass themselves by over reacting to his “joke”, so they won’t talk about him actually selling snake oil supplements a la Alex Jones.

Read on for a fun Russell Conspiracy-Fact tm at the end of the blog! Look, we all know that we live in a rigged system, it’s just that we need rich and wealthy people to tell us about it. Lucky we have the likes of Russell Brand to tell us just how rigged it is and exactly what we think of it! Where would we be without him???!!!!

When is a Hindu not a Hindu? When Russell Brand ruddy well says so, that’s when! And when is a “conspiracy fact” actually a hateful racist conspiracy theory? Er, when Russell Brand doesn’t spend much time looking at his sources?
