Comments by "Ash Roskell" (@ashroskell) on "George Monbiot explains Russell Brand's dangerous game with the far-right" video.

I’ve been trying to warn people about Brand for a long time. He was doing this recently with Russia’s allegations of, “bio labs,” in Ukraine too. Of course there are bio labs in a big country like Ukraine, but a chemist’s lab does not a, “chemical weapons lab,” make. We have a chemical weapons lab at Porton Down. If a foreign invader found that they could accuse us of all sorts and be right! But we develop chemical weapons to find treatments for them. Just as researchers looking for cancer cures will have lots of cancers in their labs. Brand has never been a, “bright,” guy. One of the most dangerous myths perpetuated in the modern world is that rich, successful people must also be clever or have a clue what they’re doing.
