This is quite a remarkable development. 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. 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.
Rumble has previously stood strong against the demands of the French government, and once again stands at the forefront of freedom in responding to the UK demand.
Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski responded to the U.K govt and shared his response on Twitter. “We emphatically reject the UK Parliament’s demands.”

In an era where social media are more than willing to crawl into bed with the censorship demands of government, looking at you Elon, it is refreshing to see a platform refuse to be pushed into a position of censorship.
Well done Team Rumble.
Now let’s ask why billionaire media mogul Rupert Murdoch is targeting opinions that might run against the official government narratives? I seem to remember someone warning about an increased effort to remove specific entities and platforms that will not adhere to official government positions. 👀
What are they afraid of?
-free speech
No, just the truth.
The UK Daily Mail hasn’t allowed comments on the Russell Brand articles for days.
They fear of losing control.
Control of what?
They can only control you if you let them.
Much like holding the chains of your master together in your own hands.
Master is anything that rules you.
Not all are bad.
Libby
You are right. Control/ slavery comes when we willingly give our freedom to a master. We are all slaves. I think the question would is, who are we going to be our master. Who will I serve. A loving kind Master/Lord who rules with love and freedom, or will it be a Tyrant that rules by controlling our every move and enslave us with a life of selfishness.
I will not comply to the selfish god of this world. I will not give away the freedom I have been endowed by my creator.
I will NEVER comply to any.
I think they might have lost control.
Hope springs eternal.
Yes! let’s Hope.
Brand has 6.63M subscribers on GoogleTube. A year ago he was at 4.5M.
I hate to admit I’ve never heard of ,Russell Brand but if they want to censor him ….well I just went to Rumble and followed him.
He shared truths about big pharma last week on Bill Maher’s show… now fast forward to today.
Brand has gradually been red pilled. He especially spends a great deal of time talking about Big Pharma.
Russell Brand 2013 – it’s just a few minutes long – before it disappears, soon I expect
{ Russell Brand’s impressive Hugo Boss acceptance speech at the GQ Awards 2013 }
If someone who knows how would kindly mirror that over to Rumble &/or Bitchute I would be most appreciative.
TIA.
Hugo Boss did, Albert Spear and Adolph Hitler loved their design for the SS. It amazes how many people have no clue.
Good idea, I will go follow Brand too.
And I am sick of rape allegations as censorship. The powers that be used this manipulation to go after Julian Assange and that was a lying setup also.
And young people, don’t get intoxicated and fall into compromising situations. Let’s have a common sense movement. Such tiresome BS all of it
He’s an English actor. I’ve seen him Death on the Nile recently. He had a very good role in the movie.
He was sarcastically funny as heck in “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” (2008)
Didn’t know who he was until past couple of years with people putting up his recent vids. I haven’t found anything to disagree.
To drag out things allegedly happened decades ago and destroy him w/o trial?
No!
On YouTube he had 8.6 Million
subscribers when they cancelled him.
I always watched him on Rumble.
That they would close him down
with that many subscribers….
tells me that they are desperate.
He was smart enough not to
violate any of their podcast
rules.
That is why they had
to go to his private life
in an effort to silence him.
An obvious set up.
as long as we keep letting them cancel people over ‘allegations’, then the ‘allegations’ will continue.
Bingo ~! Giving today’s fringe-left democrats the ability to destroy any person or idea merely by making up stories about them a extremely dumb. What is this, jr. high, where your reputation gets ruined by the mean girls’ gossip? If we let it be, which is what’s been happening so far.
Just hear Kash Patel on talk radio saying that congress has the ability to arrest those who ignore subpoenas….really? Had no idea, since it had never been done. He also pointed out that their kangaroo J-6 court started with sending out subpoenas, where we send “pretty please” letters and only subpoena as a last resort.
Ignoring a subpoena is “contempt”?
G.Gordon Liddy was convicted of “contempt of Congress”. The judge suspended the sentence since Liddy was already serving time for Watergate “crimes”. There haven’t been many people convicted of “Contempt of Congress”, but it has happened.
It will continue until some of these accusers start losing some skin for it.
Bearing false witness – they will lose bigly in the afterlife.
That may be, but they are starting to make where we live now like hell.
Duh … that’s why we tossed the Brits out in 1776. We didn’t want King George telling us what videos we could watch then and certainly not now!
All right, but the U.S. government is certainly no better when it comes to censoring and suppressing dissenting voices on the internet than the U.K. government. If anything, I suspect that the U.K. government is acting on behalf of the U.S. government in this particular incident.
Five Eyes.
Makes them the same “government” in my opinion.
Which in the USA is treason.
spot on, Libby.
USA (aka GAE) is Woke Central (link), the very source of the Woke cancer—either indirectly from USG-funded academe or directly from USG (e.g. see ‘Estonia: Embassy’s Efforts To Promote Racial Tolerance’, 16 Jun 2006, WikiLeaks (link).
You tossed out the Brits for this? If you went back in time to King George’s day, you’d think you’d died and gone to libertarian heaven. George III was a veritable anarcho-capitalist compared to the over-regulating and over-legislating nest of taxpayer-funded parasites that is the modern bloated US government (e.g. in 2013, park rangers prevented a coach party of elders from photographing passing bison and ordered them to return to their coach for the sin of ‘recreating’ (link); contrast with Henry III’s 1217 Charter of the Forest granting the commoners forage and grazing rights to the Royal Forests—modern Americans have less rights than a medieval peasant).
And it was Parliament passing the noisome Acts alienating Americans, not George III, sovereignty having been removed from the Crown with the 1688 Parliamentary coup. On that note, of interest is a 2014 book, The Royalist Revolution: Monarchy and the American Founding, by Harvard U prof. Eric Nelson, showing that the American rebellion, normally characterised as Whig, at least initially was Tory Royalist, with Americans seeking ‘relief from the excesses of parliamentary rule in the revival of royal authority’. Arguably, all of today’s problems destroying the West are rooted in that Whig triumph, see Patrick Deneen’s 2018 Why Liberalism Failed.
But as a pastor asked in 1770: ‘[W]hich is better, to be ruled by one tyrant three thousand miles away, or by three thousand tyrants not a mile away?’ So, you got your ‘three thousand tyrants not a mile away’, how’s that working out for you?
NO! We tossed out the Brits for these transgressions. I think you’ll find there’s quite a few.
https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/declaration-transcript
There were many reasons for the American rebellion and not one was noble: northerners were upset by the 1763 Proclamation Line denying the Americans further westward expansion at the Indians’ expense; southern plantation-owners saw court cases such as Smith v Brown & Cooper (1705) and Somerset v Stewart (1772) gradually ending slavery, and realised the slaves would be eventually freed, preventing them from importing cheap labour (the American working class be damned); both north and south were unhappy with HMG’s toleration towards the Roman faith of the French Canadians finding themselves under British rule after the Seven Years’ War.
Revolutions only replace one ruling class with another, and worse than their predecessor. So Cromwell proved worse than Charles I; the French Jacobins were far worse than Louis XVI; the Bolsheviks were far, far worse than Tsar Nicholas; Castro’s rule was worse than Batista’s; Mao’s much worse than any previous leader, Yuan Shikai, Chiang Kai-shek or any other; Mugabe was far worse than Ian Smith and every other African post-colonial regime was worse than the previous colonial administrations. And the American revolutionary regime, although not as murderous as the Jacobins or Bolsheviks, was measurably worse than the British Parliament—e.g. one of the factors that supposedly caused the rebellion was taxes, but the newly independent Americans ended up paying more taxes than they ever paid under British rule (some former rebels emigrating to Canada to escape the revolutionary regime’s onerous taxes—sufficiently onerous to cause further rebellions, e.g the 1794 ‘Whiskey Rebellion’ (link)). And like all revolutionary regimes, once installed as a ruling class, the new rulers did not hesitate to deny the aspirations they earlier claimed to fight for, thus the suppression of the aforementioned Whiskey Rebellion (so much for the complaint of ‘imposing Taxes on us without our Consent’) and later Southern Rebellion (so much for… pretty much every complaint in that wretched document).
RUM stock is near 52wk low @ $5.52 – is this opportunity knocking?
Stock is being shorted. It would be wonderful to see the shorts creamed.
😂😂😂
I see what you did there.
I think I’m buying me some Rumble stock tomorrow. Good on ya, Rumble!
Yes! Time to stand by Rumble! We need Rumble!
So heartening to know there are still people and companies willing to stand and fight back. We need more of this.
Mr. Brand must be effective if they are going after him like this. Probably will increase Rumbles reach.
If you don’t like what someone is saying, change the channel. What doesn’t the British Parliament NOT understand?
No, that’s not the progressive way – they have the right not have anything in existence that offends them. Only their sensibilities matter.
You (them) being offended in no way negates my right to say or do something.
I have zero obligation to change reality because someone chooses to be offended by it.
As Linda Yacky-rino said, freedom of speech, not freedom of reach.
On twatter, you can speak now but if nobody hears you did you?
Secretly, I love those people. All they have done is expose the buttons I am now going to relentlessly destroy them with.
I.e, I have an old ‘67 Ford convertible with a bobble hula girl playing the ukulele on the dash, bought her at Target. A couple of years ago I was out on a cruise, and while at a red light in Maitland, FL, (Horatio & 17-92, if you know, you know) a well heeled, socialite type woman decided she needed to tell me how offensive my hula girl was. I told her to mind her business, poked the hula girl to make her dance and laughed at her. That garnered an even harsher condemnation, which unbeknownst to her, initiated the launch sequence. It’s very short, there’s a set up and then the end.
“If you think this is offensive, you’re really not going to like what’s next.” Of course, she cannot help herself anymore and asked, “What’s that?” An aside: **You know, these types are always so curious and ask the dumbest questions**
Well, I proposed, “When you’re done whoring about, why don’t you be a doll, swing by my place, do my laundry and make me a sandwich.”
She was left sitting vapor locked, mouth agape yet wonderfully silent. So much so, as traffic began to move, the car behind her had to honk at her to get her going.
I do not have time, patience or concern for these people, nor will I oblige them in any way when they feel the need to interject their “feelings” into my life.
I gotcher feelz right heah! -Nim (Prolly)
😝
Wow. You got that NPC:SJW to ‘blue screen’ to the point a hard ‘horn reset’ was required!!
The British Parliament does not seem to acknowledge that their jurisdiction does not apply in the USA. Last I knew, Rumble did not have any physical presence, ie offices and staff located within the UK itself.
Consider the implication of the former, in a context to national boundaries and where else elites will erase them for their convenience.
Furthermore, I consider that the Derp Stste must be destroyed!
I am 100% with you 👍
Well, there were a group of men who pledged their fortunes, sacred honor and their lives….
They have a short memory. We can boycott BBC, Daily Mail and their other rags….
They’re just doing what 5eyes asked o/b/o 🌊👁️A.
The UK Government has modified the citizen’s right to the ‘presumption of innocence until proven guilty’. The UK Government has moved to ‘cancelled until found guilty’. Anyone think Brand will get a fair trial? He might end up like Christian conservative Cardinal George Pell in Australia who was charged with a ridiculous and manifestly idiotic count by a far left government determined to attack the Cardinal. The lower court, stacked with lefties supported by an unrelenting media campaign against the Cardinal found him guilty. He appealed and the appeal court, mostly stacked with poorly qualified lefties, found him guilty with the only real judge on that bench who had lots of criminal case experience dissenting from the judgement excoriating his fellow judges for their decision. Pell went the Australian High Court, equivalent of SCOTUS, which overturned the decision 7 – 0, such was the idiocy of the case and the earlier decisions. It is extremely rare to get a unanimous decision in the High Court. The only problem was that Pell spend over a year in jail waiting for the process to play out. Pell found out he was acquitted when the prisoners in his block cheered when the media announced the decision. Pell was in prayer in his cell. This is what Brand has to look forward to.
These are being made examples. It is what any freeman has to look forward to.
It is a reasonably effective strategy. Should the forces of good gain the upper hand in this contest, I advocate the in-kind use of it to such extreme measure that future generations cringe when informed of the extent of the backlash against evil.
Has he been charged with anything? I thought it was a couple of driveby hit pieces bearing the allegations.
The battle lines are becoming evermore delineated. This gets way worse. You all know the sayings.
Wondering if there is a way to keep a running list of each step that occurs going forward along the lines of targeting and censorship. 1st A and 2nd A are redlines. They can’t do 2nd A without going after 1st A first.
The parallel economy seems to be our only chance. And if people would move out of the dem-run states (think what those state taxes go for—how many states was it, again, that “shut down” in the middle of counting in 2020 — and installed fjb and the BO’s people in the WH?) — and if gov’s and AG’s would let the federal gov know they are not about to follow unconstitutional demands; they’re going to follow the 10th Amendment instead…
(yes, it would require a lot of defunding from the feds—start with the schools, which are not a “federal program,”anyway, but just receive $$ for special programs…)
The moment I heard of YouTube’s stunt with Russel I subscribed to him. Told my son to do the same thing.
Fine.
I just followed him on Rumble.
😈
I look at YouTube just to fall to sleep at night.
Rumble is the target. They want complete control of the web, social media, all means of communication.
Brand’s bank, internet provider, doctor, mechanic, grocery store all complied. It’ll be easier for them when they implement a digital currency.
Dame Caroline Dinenage – Froo Froo Bullshit Titles.
Tell me you’re a parasite without telling me you’re a parasite.
Rumble is the real deal. Everybody here should be supporting them. They will be bigger than youtube in a couple of years.
That’s why government is targeting them now. I don’t think they give a stuff about Brand, it’s a ruse to target Rumble.
And compared to the other platforms, they are a successful newcomer to the party of platforms. Now just how and why did that happen?/s
Or another way to look at it…a well placed successful disruptive competitor.
We need more media companies that follow the US Constitution regarding freedom of speech.
Guess the UK and US are now saying that a person is guilty until he proves he is innocent.
Good for Rumble.
And screw Parliament!
Who the hell do they think they are to demand a company in another country to censor someone?
What a bunch of pompous, arrogant, narcissistic PsOS!
who in the hell do they think they are?
They are living in the past….about 275 years in the past….
They are trying to live in a Dystopian future.
I wish RUMBLE had said, ” Piss off you bloody wankers! “
Now that would have been priceless thanks stomy i needed a good laugh
R.D.
Here are a few thousand opinions on Russell Brand, if anyone cares: https://www.bitchute.com/search/?query=russell%20brand&kind=video&sort=new
When I have a choice of platforms to view a given content creator, I always choose Rumble…
Not only has Rumble stood fast against all of this censorship BS, but they also take a smaller ‘cut’ of the monetary ‘Rumble Rants’ (where people post comments and donate money to the creator) — taking 20% where YouTube and others take 30% or more.
Additionally, for this year, Rumble has taken 0% of the ‘Rumble Rants’ in 2023 and will keep it that way until 12-31-23….
Who’d have ever thought that simply supporting free speech and helping their content creators financially would set Rumble apart from virtually every other platform and be such a big competitive discriminator for them…. Incredible.
Go Rumble!
Rumble videos are much more pleasant to watch than YouTube. For one thing there are no commercials, at least for the podcasters I watch.
Back in fall 2020, YouTube banned many of the podcasters I liked and so they went to Rumble, Bitchute, or other accounts instead that didn’t de-platform.
I prefer Rumble but ads on youtube are easily defeated with adblocker +
Very true, but they censor content so you never know if what you’re getting is what was actually recorded.
Support the FREE SPEECH platforms!!!! (As few and far between as they are.)
They have LOST their minds!
Orwellian. Culture, media and sport committee. How authoritarian is that.
A list of agregious attacks etc…the complainers are not even original….we highlighted that back in 1776!
let’s hope this goes to the trash heep.
Russell Brand interview with Tucker Carlson and Jack Dorsey are really excellent journalism. Plus he is a very bright and intelligent person (to my surprise.)
I believe the “allegations” are a scam to get him removed because he is becoming a strong influencer and proponent of free speech.
Innocent until proven guilty.
Keep his content up and running . He is excellent.
Thanks to the hysterical wishes of the UK and to the FABULOUS response from Rumble, we are going to need a Bigger Boat! I see an awful lot of third monkeys heading this way….
My first thought is what does the UK Parliament fear.
The truth.
Just one more evil entity attempting to shut down the truth. None of them care about his personal behavior. Anyone speaking the truth to a massive audience will be targeted.
It’s none of UK parliaments business! How would they like it, if Rumble dictated what parliament should or shouldn’t do!!!!
Ah…for a bale of East India Company Tea.
Allegations are not facts! These people are being found guilty just with allegations!!! Allegations can be made by anyone!
Unfortunately, to keep feeding the Beast (Google) means its insatiable appetite to devour the truth grows unchecked.
I’m glad they said no.
We have this precept in the USA that says you’re innocent until proven guilty.
The Brits may not understand it and too many Americans are unaware or have forgotten.
A 20 year old rape charge sounds all too familiar to the crap they pulled on Donald Trump.
The lesson is we can’t lose Rumble. Fakebook/Feta is state controlled, Gulag, Assple, MSFU, and all rest are. There as so few that aren’t we can’t lose these few.
Does anyone use Facebook for anything other than marketplace?
It’s also ironic that these accusations are coming from Sodom and Gomorrahwood!
Narrative, schmarrative🤛🏻
‘I cannot stop the FAKE media efforts to smear and destroy me. I can only respond with TRUTH.
The media campaign and lawfare takes a toll on an individual, but I am still standing.
I give ALL the praise and ALL the glory to Jesus Christ.
Enduring the relentless persecution is not fun but I know I am being persecuted for His name’s sake.
So I press on.
God bless you. ‘
–Lin
Do you think Russell Brand will inevitably get on his knees and take the hush money or continue to speak freely on alternative platforms?
They have a psychotic aversion to the truth. The liberal is formed and defined by deception. It forms their minds and their thinking. It is the basis for their emotions and desires. The liberal lies because their brains are wired to use deception. Their brain circuitry and mental synapses were created out of deception. The liberal will lie when the truth would serve better because it makes them feel good. Lying is a comfort, familiar territory for them.
They are cultists. The abortion clinic is their church. Hatred and projectionism is their doctrine. The blood of children is their sacrament. Death is their currency. They are consumed with excercising and mastering deception in order to attempt to normalize their cult.
Anyone who shines light and truth at them is an existential threat to them – this is what we are watching.
They have a worn-out play-book! Seriously! They lack creativity!
I used to watch his podcast often.
Now I can’t.
This guy is getting screwed BIG TIME!
Here’s a link to his Rumble channel:
https://rumble.com/c/russellbrand
Thanks
Gutfeld talk about this tonight
Didn’t joe say that “I love minors, cause I’m from Scranton”?
Meant for the other article
I suspect The Sunday Times is NOT a non-profit organization. As such, they need to be sensitive to the sources of income and how those sources feel about their bullying and anti-social behaviors. We know from experience how effective/expensive a little boycott could be. Just saying….
It is owned by Morloch.
Funny, I thought “innocent until proven guilty” was a principle of English common law that was part of the foundation of American law.
Russell Brand has been against the Ukraine is winning narrative for a while now. He’s obviously making inroads in Europe!
NATO Fractures: In U-Turn, Poland Announces It Will No Longer Arm Ukraine | ZeroHedge
“Poland will no longer arm Ukraine to focus on its own defense,” Polish prime minister Mateusz Morawiecki announced just hours after Warsaw summoned Ukraine’s ambassador related to a fresh war of words and spat over blocked grain, according to the AFP. Warsaw has throughout more than a year-and-a-half of the Ukraine-Russia war been Kiev’s staunchest and most outspoken supporter.
The prior atmosphere of enthusiastic pro-Kiev rhetoric has drastically changed, now with comparisons likening Ukraine to a “drowning man”. As The Associated Press explains:
Polish leaders have compared Ukraine to a drowning person hurting his helper and threatened to expand a ban on food products from the war-torn country. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy suggested that EU allies that are prohibiting imports of his nation’s grain are helping Russia.

Those Brits are really trying our collective patience.
Acquiescence is not in our DNA.
Now, when they can say their famous citizens are squeaky clean, I might listen to the Parliament. In my random googleedeegoo’s of a few days ago, I came across some distressing info on a famous singer and artist.

Dame Caroline Dinenage was caught on video a few years back telling the help …”I ALMOST had to wait.”
LOL
I noticed that Prince Andrew is being supported and tolerated by King Charles.
A shorter reply from Rumble would have read:
“Caroline, honey, the last time an American gave a rat’s azz about what the British thought was July 3, 1776.”
.
Why is this crap so often promoted by women.
.
Despite their best efforts, Net Neutrality failed. Now see The Kids Online Safety Act. Rumble needs the critical “1st follower” to appear and withstand the ridicule. Rumble is the flint. The 1st Follower will be the spark.
“The truth has no agenda” unlike the British and American governments, Blackrock, and the IC’s.
