Burger King and other companies have removed their adverts from a video-sharing platform that continues to host Russell Brand after he was accused of rape and sexual assault, i can reveal.

The move by several firms, selling everything from software to soft toys, to pull their ads from US-based Rumble follows the decision by YouTube to suspend ad revenue on the comedian’s channels – and Rumble’s refusal to follow suit.

Joe Scarborough raped me in 1995.
BOOM. I think I just ended Joe’s career.

Or ... does it only work that way for some people?

Burger King is on life support anyway for making stupid moves like this.

Burger King will be another easy boycott. I don’t eat fast food and I can’t stand their advertisements.

I don’t watch videos. Takes too much of my time, not enough bandwidth anyway.

But is it just REMOTELY possible that this is a hit job because of his politics?

I love their burgers, but they can eat rot for all I care. I will tell our local manager.

Have Burger King and other companies turned Communist? That is very Soviet of them to take negative action based on questionable accusations. Is that not so?

In the USA you are innocent until proven guilty.

The father of one of my best friends (Pam)when I was in elementary school started Burger King in Miami. She was in my Brownie/Girl Scout troop. Sadly I lost track of her when their success and resulting wealth moved her to private schools and far from my family’s social circle. But I fondly remember how sweet her family was to me.

How far from that wonderful family business Burger King has fallen as it was sold off (I think to Pillsbury).

Is it really too much to ask for everyone to wait for all the facts to come out, for a verdict in a trial to be reached, and for the preservation of the fundamental American principle of the presumption of innocence?

I don’t often eat at Burger King but did a few weeks ago with a friend. No more!

Took a look at the other companies mentioned, never heard of them.

And I haven’t set foot in a BK in years.

Fine. Can do without BK. Hasn’t been a favorite for decades.
