It’s a measure of how much Russell Brand has dominated UK headlines that Foreign Secretary James Cleverly, alongside diplomatic concerns such as aid to flood-stricken Libya and relations with China, found time to address sexual-assault allegations leveled against the onetime Hollywood A-lister turned social-media influencer.
“There are some real challenges where you have these very very acute differentials in power,” whether in entertainment, politics or the commercial world, Cleverly said on BBC Television last weekend. “I think we have to be particularly careful when we listen to the voices of the people who are relatively powerless because we collectively have missed opportunities to do the right thing and intervene much much earlier. And we’ve got to be better at this.”
