    I think the news media needs to stop pretending he’s still (or ever was?) a comedian.

      I had multiple friends who dressed like him and used his affectations during his peak popularity in the noughties. No SA’s though fortunately.

      Looking back it was pretty much like a license to act more camp in public.

        I never understood his appeal. He’s just vulgar. It’s not funny. His assurance in a couple otherwise good movies really ruins it.

    He was one of those early grifters who saw the transition to para-politics and then God as a means of making a brand (of Brand).

    That anyone ever took his spirituaity or politics or his cringe comedy or acting seriously is beyond me.

    They had PILES of his Bookie-Wookie in Waterstones once.

      I used to listen to his podcast with Matt Morgan. I hope he does the right thing and testifies for the prosecution, he saw a lot of it.

    That sex criminal hasn’t been comical in any form for decades, and personally I’d argue never was. Not that I expect anything from Sky, but they’re really diving deep in the muck to protect a notable sex pest this time. It’s almost like people shouldn’t be linking tabloid slop on here.

      What the fuck are you on about? They are covering his trial? How are they protecting him??

      Your slop is enough mate. Fucking hell.

        Oh hi, Russ. I’m not your mate govnah.

        If Sky were being honest in this headline they would say serial sex pest and known grifter Russel Brand. That’s what I’m fucking on about.
