Brand threatens to sue ‘Sun’ over hypocrite claim

Russell Brand has threatened to take legal action over a report containing claims about his housing arrangements.

The comedian pays rent for his London home to a firm registered in the British Virgin Islands, often referred to as a tax haven, according to The Sun.

Brand, who has previously called for a revolution and appeared at anti-capitalist demonstrations, responded to allegations in a story on the front page of the paper by saying on Twitter that he intended to sue.
