Douglas Murray calls for 'responsibility' from British left for 'enabling' Russell Brand

It was the British left that “enabled” Russell Brand, while “almost nobody” on the right of the spectrum has welcomed him, says author Douglas Murray. “It was not the case that everyone fell for this charlatan, it was not the case that everyone thought he was God’s gift and that he could swing an election,” Mr Murray told Sky News Australia host Piers Morgan. “It is important to note that as Russell Brand has, in my view, given himself cover by fleeing to this weird far-right conspiracy place, almost nobody on the right of the spectrum has welcomed him. “I mean, The Telegraph is not giving him guest columns, he is not being invited into the editorial meetings of The Telegraph. “There is some responsibility that the people who enabled him in Britain should take.”
