Can't help this , I apologise if you feel otherwise , I've no intention of being discourteous:
I can't stomach Brand , to be blunt. His media connections , close association with much of the British establishment , (having met the Queen for example), set alarm bells off in my head.
I believe the recent debacle with him (which coincidently was brushed under the carpet for due to the normies only being able to focus on one thing at a time) was an attempt to give a black eye to the truth community that exists online.
Create a straw-man leader from the ground up (Brand was allowed to say things during the height of the covid nonsense on YouTube whilst others were banned for saying likewise) , prop him up as a de-facto leader of the truth movement , and then reveal that he is a hateful rapist, and watch the anger and shock of the public start to be directed at people who question authority. It seems so obviously part of a playbook to me.
