RUSSELL Brand has embarked on an hour-long rant about free speech – as police probe allegations of sexual assault.<\/p>\n

The comedian, 48, began a live-stream on his Rumble page just minutes after cops confirmed they are investigating allegations of sexual offences in both London and "elsewhere in the country".<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

In a tweet, he said: "Are we being silenced? The battle for free speech – streaming now on @rumblevideo."<\/p>\n

During the stream, Brand went on a long-winded rant alleging a government conspiracy to prevent him from sharing his theories and making money from social media.<\/p>\n

He said: "We are going to be talking about the State and the legacy media's war on free speech.<\/p>\n

"And in particular, how that has affected me this week.<\/p>\n
