There’s not.

A petition emerged last year ahead of the 50th anniversary of Glastonbury and the first held after the Coronavirus pandemic. The petition - which was signed by thousands - asked festival organisers to rename the stage after historic allegations of sexual abuse were made against John Peel.
The allegations included that of Jane Nevin, a woman who claimed she fell pregnant by Peel during a three-month affair when she was a 15-year-old school girl. Peel also married his first wife, Shirley Anne Milburn, when she was 15 - however this was legal in Texas at the time.

Aged pretty well, then.

Classic infatuated cult behaviour under Brand’s video. No idea what the allegations are but ‘we stand with you Russell! We love uuuu’.

I don't know if he deliberately moved into conspiracy peddling as a safeguard against future allegations. But I do know that because of his conspiracy peddling, there will be a lot of people defending him no matter what he accused of or how strong the evidence is.

What is it about people and their ability to blindly devote their lives to following something or someone despite knowing they may have done horrible things. How do people brush stuff like that off and just class it all as lies. It's been happening since the birth of religion and now it just seems to mainly be related to individual people like Tucker Carlson and Brand. It's also quite sad, because my Mum used to adore Brand when he first got famous as he was from around the place my family were and she thought it was cool that someone from our area would be able to get famous like he did. My Mum would have been so disgusted knowing how he turned out.

The quotes on his Wikipedia page

Mirror wrote:TV presenter Kirtsy Gallacher has shown her public support for her brother-in-law Russell after he denied 'serious' and 'criminal' allegations made against him.

The 48-year-old, who's sister Laura is married to Russell, re-shared his video statement to deny the allegations – the specific details of which are yet to come to light – on her Instagram story.

She added a GIF of a red beating heart above the clip, to show she is behind the comedian after he denied the "litany of astonishing rather baroque attacks" which had been put to him by a newspaper and TV programme.

Didn't know they were now related.

Will that "public support" hold up past 10:30pm.
