Russell Brand Issues Statement After British Govt Target Him for Removal from Social Media Platforms
The Sunday Times, a Rupert Murdoch publication in the U.K., published a hit piece against Russell Brand accusing him of rape and sexual assault 20-years ago. It did not take long before the accusations triggered the cancel culture and YouTube demonetized the actor and pundit. Russell Brand has vehemently denied the allegations.
However, in a remarkable escalation, the U.K Parliament is now targeting Russell Brand. The British government has sent a letter to U.S. social media companies, including video platform provider Rumble demanding they take action against Brand. Not only is the British government targeting an individual and demanding action over an unproven allegation, but they are also sending a letter to the U.S. company demanding acquiescence to their censorship demand.
Standing solidly on the side of freedom, Rumble said no. However, now Rumble is the subject of a global smear campaign using a variety of media outlets and constructed controversies. Today, Russell Brand responded to the overall effort by the British government.
“Nuts!”
