I'm actually wondering if he is mentally ill.
And that this may get him off.

I think he probably has a personality disorder which would explain rather a lot if not excuse his behaviour. But that is not mental illness.

Er, no... pretty sure the comment 'you're f*ing th1ck' is universally accepted as being utterly vile. So not just 'my opinion'.

And as for your weak example of 'Brand on Covid v Dr of Molecular biology on Covid'... the more accurate phrase would be: 'Brand ON Dr of Molecular biology on Covid' since he would be presenting Dr Molecular's findings in his own video.

But you were nearly there 👏👏

Not sure what you mean. Dr of Molecular biology reviewed Brands "findings"? Did you watch it?

Oh come on. What does some guy with a PhD in molecular biology know about Covid?

Plus black men are part of the elite.

Great video

@Jumpingthruhoops Have you watched this video?

Meant to quote you @WomblingTree86 – great video!

@SatsumaNightmare

You've mentioned valid statistics. Will these be from the government's (or any government's equivalent) Office for National Statistics? OR alternatively have they been reported in any peer reviewed journal?? If so I'm very open to looking at them. If not please remember that with the arrival of the internet anyone can write anything and claim it's valid. So if these statistics are valid they have to be officially reported. Looking forward to reviewing them.

I called you thick, and I was rightly told off for that, and the post deleted.

I am not being spiteful by arguing with you about beliefs I see as dangerous. I’m answering each of your points as they come up. This stuff matters because it leads to a loss of confidence in the experts we rely on as a society - and that quite literally can lead to death.

And the dr of microbiologist didn’t write the article Brand was referring to, nor any of the other articles he misrepresents, so I’m not sure what the rest of this post was about.

sorry, the previous message was in response to this.

Sorry to derail, but what is the difference? I had never considered a comparison before. FWIW, i think he's just an entitled cnut who deserves everything coming.

Oh, just look it up!

Earlier this year he was on the (then) flagship show on Murdoch’s flagship outlet (Tucker Carlson on Fox News) saying that The Guardian and Liberal Elites were out to get him (while being fawned over by the host).

Now, it’s the Murdoch press that are out to get him.

’The Elites’ or ‘They’ are just whoever publishes something negative about Russell Brand at any given moment.

Thank you for this. I said exactly the same in the post above yours.

It's very clear that this person is not a regular MN user nor any of the other things that they are claiming to be.

What do you mean 'whatever else they are claiming to be!?'
Insult me as much as you want - but I draw the line at being called a liar.
Seriously, get over yourself!

My comment about it was deleted. What does that tell you?

It tells you that your post was in breach of the talk guidelines.

Or are you saying @mnhq are part of the conspiracy?

Interesting that you'd rather find fault with the world than take responsibility you did something wrong. Ironic, really, considering the topic of this thread.

Sorry, have you got something constructive to add? Or are you just here for the pile-on?

Also, I've repeatedly said there is NO conspiracy - everyone else has been saying there is.
I've merely said that facts that don't support the desired MSM narrative are surpressed, which IS happening.

Acknowledge that or don't. I couldn't care less!

And several people have pointed out posts that align with your thinking that remain up.

But that’s not what the video was about. It was a doctor of molecular biology refuting the nonsense in Brand’s Covid video.

for someone who took such exception to a singular personal insult, you seem to dish them out a lot. At last count something like 4 of yours posts have been deleted.

Extraordinary that you are the one complaining about persecution.

Your comments were deleted because you broke talk guidelines. There is no 'censorship' whatsoever about the topic of smear tests, the pros and cons of them, the benefit vs risk, and women's experiences, including the negative ones.

As you would know if you were either an existing user of this site, or had bothered to do the tiniest, most basic bit of research, rather than shouting 'conspiracy'.

Are you going to retract your absolute bullshit claim that there is 'censorship' around the risks of smear tests? Or are you going to double down on it even though many, many posters have demonstrated, with actual evidence from here and many other sites, including the government and NHS sites, that you are wrong?

I have to go to a meeting now, but I think I can take a wild guess...

Sorry, but who do you think you are?

I have no idea but I certainly know what you're coming across as...

Bingbangbongbash · 26/09/2023 18:33

It was actually an expert AGAINST Brand's "findings" which you would know if you watched the video.

I wasn't referring to the video, I didn't watch it. Why would I engage with a video put up purely to try and take the piss out of me!?

And I certainly am not going to defend not watching one video, now it suits everyone for ME to watch something, when people have point-blank refused to watch any of the content I've suggested.

I can assure you they haven't been deleted because of insults.

And there it is... classic gaslighting. From someone condemning a man for abuse!

Honestly, you could not make this shit up.
