The Russell Brand saga is of both political and philosophical significance. Brand, who is largely a Leftists, and very much into the culture of sex, drugs and rock and roll, has in recent times been a strong critic of the Covid vaxxes and mandates. He is one of the few Leftists to oppose Big Pharma, Dr Naomi Wolf being another notable figure, but she is deeply religious.
After the rape allegations were made, and these are so far allegations, no charges have been made, Brand was demonetarised by YouTube, and even came under attack by the British parliament, which was previously unheard of for mere allegations. What happened to the principle of innocent until proven guilty? The same thing is seen in the US with the lawfare attacks on President Trump, which even blind Freddy can see is just to prevent him running or destroy the campaign.
