Channel 4 has removed all of the old programmes featuring Russell Brand from its website.
Channel 4 gained viewers and revenue from Brand ’s lewd antics in the 2000s .
Today , it is winning plaudits for its Dispatches documentary, which features women accusing Brand of rape and sexual assault.
In the mid-2000s , Brand was named the Sun 's Shagger of the Year three years in a row.
It does neither women nor men any favours if regretted sex is reassessed decades later and declared to be non-consensual.
The Dispatches documentary even mentions young women calling up Channel 4 producers to complain about Brand sleeping with and then not calling them after.
In no way should this be dressed up as a victory for feminism or for women.
