In 2008 rapist Russell Brand, inevitably was working for the BBC. They phoned up Andrew Sachs and mocked him, Brand boasted he had slept with his granddaughter Georgina. Jonathan Ross was present. The BBC fired him.

The Home Office welcomes endless dangerous third world scumbags, yet bans Eva Vlaardingerbroek from entering our country to attend a Restore Britain event. So many people need to go to prison.

I've met Russell Brand twice (I think): Once when I hosted a Guardian Live event about his book in 2014. Another time I interviewed him for The Big Issue when I was guest editing in 2015. He also gave my publishers an endorsement for my book The Establishment, which I was mortified about at the time mostly because I thought it was so OTT it would obviously invite ridicule (which it did). At the time I saw him as a crude means to reach disillusioned younger people with left-wing politics - the sort of people who wouldn't be reached by conventional left-wing journalists and politicians. As a result I was willing to overlook, or just not look into, his history of problematic behaviour / statements, including sexism. I convinced myself that he was on some sort of journey and that was a good thing. That was an obvious misjudgement. I did think he was a bit of a chancer / had a messianic complex, but overlooked that too as a necessary evil in reaching disengaged people. But that was clearly his main driving force and he clearly ended up concluding that right-wing politics was a better vehicle to satisfy it. It's an important lesson in not stupidly engaging clearly problematic figures, however charismatic or however much mass appeal they have, in the service of a cause. What I would say is that right now we should be centring the survivors of a rapist and sexual predator. I personally don't really think those trying to point score have his survivors' interests at heart. I would also argue that those with the big questions to answer are the right-wing figures who continue to stand by him and spread conspiratorial nonsense in his defence. Finally, let's hope that other possible survivors of Russell Brand feel able to come forward.

They say "go back." Back where? Back to the NHS wards we staff? The care homes we keep open? The shops we run? The taxes we pay? British Somalis aren't invading Britain. We are Britain and here to stay

Five armed ‘anti-migrant’ Britons barred from northern France thetimes.com/world/europe/ar…

NEARLY 1,200 CHANNEL MIGRANTS IN THREE DAYS The Daily Mail reported that 1,193 people crossed the Channel in 16 small boats between Thursday and Saturday, according to Home Office figures, after a three-week lull, and that Kent County Council figures show at least 2,182 unaccompanied children have arrived since January. Footage from Anadolu Agency dated 1 November shows dozens of migrants in life jackets crowding onto a dinghy on the French coast at night.

So what exactly Makes him think they are reducing the invasion ? gbnews.com/politics/migrant-…

Having just left Elmina Castle in Ghana, where enslaved Africans were imprisoned before being shipped across the Atlantic, I think Europeans should never tire of acknowledging the horrors of our shared history and asking forgiveness from our African friends. Britain played its own shameful part in that history.

🚨 A knife-wielding illegal migrant has just been seen setting sail from France. He shouts "I will kill you". This is who Labour is letting invade our country. Reform will put the Royal Navy in the Channel to stop the invaders. And deport every single one the Tories and Labour let in. Credit: @thenowherephoto

🛑 Le président polonais Karol Nawrocki est très déterminé à ne pas laisser l'UE gouverner la Pologne et il expose les raisons du coup d'état de Donald Kust téléguidé par l'UE. Ce que dit Karol Nawrocki est très important ! C'est effectivement ce que l'UE a imposé à tous les pays européens ! "L’objectif ultime est d’imposer le droit de l’UE sur le droit polonais, de forcer l’adoption du Pacte migratoire de l’UE et d’ouvrir les frontières de la Pologne à des dizaines de milliers, potentiellement des centaines de milliers, de migrants illégaux. " "Ils veulent détruire la position de la Pologne en tant que l’une des nations les plus sûres, les plus stables et les plus prospères d’Europe, exposant notre peuple aux difficultés économiques, à l’instabilité sociale et au chaos déjà vécus ailleurs en Europe." "Pendant longtemps, le gouvernement a poussé la Pologne vers une confrontation dangereuse avec la Russie, et je rejette fermement cette direction. Après avoir échoué à convaincre le peuple polonais avec son programme, il recourt maintenant à des mesures désespérées, tentant de s’emparer d’une autre institution publique par des moyens illégaux." "La Pologne ne doit jamais devenir un pays gouverné par des intérêts étrangers. Notre souveraineté n’est pas négociable. Nous défendrons notre indépendance, notre sécurité et notre avenir. La Pologne appartient au peuple polonais, et nous ne céderons jamais notre mère patrie !" 🇵🇱 Que l'on aimerait entendre un tel discours plus souvent !
