The BBC always knew that Russell Brand was a lout

Several women who worked with Russell Brand at the BBC have revealed that they were too scared to make official complaints about the lunatic’s behaviour. I dare say it will astonish you to learn that Mr Brand seemed to display a somewhat predatory sexual nature and was apt to touch young ladies inappropriately, though Brand has said that his relationships were ‘always consensual’. It is also alleged that he frequently used the disabled toilets for reasons other than those for which the BBC intended them to be used. Hmm. As far as I can remember from my time at the BBC, the disabled toilets were used almost exclusively for amorous trysts of a semi-clandestine nature. There were loads of these installations and very few disabled people, you see. They were clean and spacious and one could clean up after the act had been consummated. And of course for the couple inside, if things turned a bit S&Mish, there was always that emergency cord to pull to get help. Anyway, at least it meant the license payer was getting value for money for these costly structures.

The phrase ‘hiding in plain sight’ was never more appropriate than when applied to Brand at the BBC. The comedian was taken on for precisely the reasons for which he is now being pilloried. A libidinous lout who was also sadly prolix. But here is my take on some of those complaints. You regret have sex with Russell Brand in a disabled lavatory? Then don’t go into a disabled lavatory with Russell Brand and take all your clothes off. There is no suggestion that force was involved, after all. I don’t see why Brand should be persecuted for your questionable decisions in life.
