Hitchens Is Correct Again.

 PETER HITCHENS: It's time the people who gave Russell Brand a platform examined their consciences..

I really don't want to gloat about Russell Brand. I'm so prejudiced against him because of my experiences that I'm not fit to judge. The people who I am angry with are the left-wing establishment, from the BBC to The Guardian, who played along with this person and treated him as a serious figure in British politics. From heckling me on the BBC to threatening to kiss me, Brand was extremely rude and personally unpleasant. Yet those people idolised him, lionised him, and gave him platforms unavailable to almost everyone else.  DM.
