Anyone who has followed the comedian Russell Brand online over the past few years has noticed that the popular shock comic has made a precipitous move to the right-wing in his opinions, especially regarding vaccines.

He has gotten sober, become a father, and somehow started voting Tory. In this video, George Manibout takes down Brand and his new digital persona. He shares his own disbelief and helps us understand what is faulty about Brand’s thinking.
