And ask ourselves what that says about us and our unconscious, that we persecute the truly innocent, chosen ones.

Forgive me father, for I know not what I do.🙏🙏🙏

I don’t know much about this but some of my DM’s 60s/70s hippy friends are into gurus etc with offshoots of religions. One family have changed their names and raise money for this “guru”.

Russell Brand gives off that dodgy snake oil salesman new age hippy guru vibe which is as creepy as F.

It’s a shame as I did think the recent C4 business was a bit of a witch hunt but I know think of RB, “he doth protest too much”.

I have been in a mood all day because we had Joe Wicks Thai fishcakes for dinner and when I took out the recipe book this morning I had a realisation that Joe Wicks and Russell brand are kind of the same person in my head. I was completely unnecessarily annoyed that I was making Joe/Russel fishcakes and letting the sisterhood down. I need to keep telling myself that they are
not the same person!

Fuck, you're gullible aren't you?

It's satire.

Somebody drank the Kool Aid.

And by Kool, I mean raging conspiracy theorist.

PurpleMonkeys · 20/09/2023 20:47

He was always an abhorrent piece of garbage.

When someone says ,
"Give an example of a dumbass that dumbasses think is intelligent"
Brand is a perfect answer.

He uses big flowery verbosity and word salad to make no meaningful points, but morons lap it up like a dogs been handed a plate of beef and chicken pate.

WhiteWriting · 20/09/2023 20:48

Is anyone else getting Charles Manson Vibes off him?

He’s a wordsmith. End of.

I wonder if the same people rallying round him were also rallying around Schofield and Prince Andrew!

MartinChuzzlewit · 20/09/2023 20:51

Wowsers

Is it wrong that I’m sitting back enjoying this unfunny odious man’s downfall?

Playing devil’s advocate - even if he WAS innocent of sexual assault like he claims (not saying I think he is) - doesn’t he believe in karma??

Well this downfall is, at the very least, his karma for what we KNOW he did because we witnessed it… karma for every time he was handsy with women, every time he shagged a woman then ghosted her, every time he made sexual comments to women on chat shows, for the masseuse, for Georgina Baillie, for Andrew Sachs, for ruining the Big Brother spin offs by being spectacularly unfunny - we all saw those things he can’t deny them. Guilty or innocent - I can’t think of a human so deserving of losing everything.

TooBigForMyBoots · 20/09/2023 20:52

I might have murdered somebody in the past. But in the now, in the present I am not murdering anyone or planning to in the future.

That's how it should be done. That's the past, don't dwell on it and any so called "victims" or tools of the degenerate state should leave you be.Thanks

I am grateful that Brand has the strength and integrity to ask god to forgive me.

@LaurieFairyCake did you really have to post a picture of him?
I need to rinse my eyes out with Dettol now. 😩
(I've always found him sleazy and creepy looking and not remotely funny, and I can also relate to the Manson vibes).

Probably. I bet they also think Boris Johnson was a great PM and was cruelly conspired against.

mydogspooeybum · 20/09/2023 20:54

Just seeing him in that t-shirt and that silly man bun makes me feel physically sick

WhiteWriting · 20/09/2023 20:55

God, these fucking awful men all around. Is a cull in order? It's the only humane thing to do.

Cleaningismycardio · 20/09/2023 20:56

He's frighteningly intelligent...which is what makes him incredibly dangerous.

Litmus1001 · 20/09/2023 20:56

@TooBigForMyBoots
No, that's not how it should be done! You have no right to tell victims, of any crime, 'not to dwell on it'. They are entitled to seek prosecution and also publicly condemn those who have harmed them.

And flat earth and McCartney Replacement and lizard people and Elvis is still alive and living in a retirement home in Florida.

Personally, I could forgive everything except the bun.

lifeturnsonadime · 20/09/2023 20:56

Well I didn't think that he was a comedian before but now I've seen the light.

Let's hope he doesn't decide to go into politics.
