Russell Brand spent years as a left-wing celebrity. Then he got sober, found God, started a family, and spent 2020–2025 criticising lockdowns, vaccine mandates, Pfizer, Bill Gates, the Great Reset, legacy media, Big Tech censorship, the deep state, and the official Ukraine narrative. His audience grew. Now he’s been sentenced to 10 years and 6 months. If he’d been saying the same things from inside Ukraine, he’d already be dead like Gonzalo Lira. Compare that to Roman Polanski. In 1977 he was 43. He slipped a 13-year-old girl Quaaludes and alcohol, then anally raped her. He pleaded guilty to unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor. The judge sent him for a 90-day psychiatric evaluation. He served 42 days, the report came back favourable, and he fled to France the next day. He’s lived free in France and Switzerland ever since. In 2009, when Switzerland arrested him, writer and columnist Anne Applebaum called it “outrageous” on the Washington Post blog. She cited his time in the Kraków ghetto, his mother’s death in Auschwitz, and his father’s survival of Mauthausen as reasons to go easy. She argued he’d already paid enough because he couldn’t collect an Oscar in person and had spent money on lawyers. She didn’t mention that her husband, Radosław Sikorski (yes, the Sikorski who celebrated blowing up Nord Stream), was Poland’s foreign minister at the time and that the Polish government was lobbying for him. Over 100 film people signed a petition for his release, including Scorsese, Woody Allen, David Lynch, Weinstein, and others. Whoopi Goldberg said it wasn’t “rape-rape.” Multiple other women have since accused him of assaulting them as minors or teenagers (Charlotte Lewis, Renate Langer, “Robin M.,” Marianne Barnard, Valentine Monnier, and more). He’s denied them. Most are time-barred. Polanski: still treated as a great artist and Holocaust survivor. Brand: predator, career over. Clean up your life, turn Christian, and start criticising the wrong side. That’s the actual crime.
