Brian Benedict Rose[1] (born May 1971)[2] is an American-born podcaster and former banker.[3][4][5] He is based in London and is a candidate in the 2021 London mayoral election. After banking he founded London Real, a podcast and YouTube channel with two million subscribers.

Biography

Rose worked as a banker in New York City and London.[6]

He founded the podcast and YouTube channel London Real in 2011,[7] and remains its host and CEO. The channel has two million subscribers.[6][8] The podcast is known for spreading conspiracy theories[9] and it has promoted misinformation related to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3][4][10] Rose has also sought to cast doubt on COVID-19 vaccines.[5] He has described the UK government's COVID-19 response as "disproportionate".[11]

Rose has conducted five interviews with conspiracy theorist David Icke.[12] In one interview, published in April 2020, Icke falsely claimed that there was a link between the COVID-19 pandemic and 5G mobile phone networks, without being challenged by Rose. The video and others on London Real[9] was removed by YouTube, who tightened their rules to prevent the website being used to spread conspiracy theories about COVID-19.[13] The April 2020 interview was later also deleted from Facebook;[14] Spotify also removed the interview.[15][16]

Vice reported that Rose's "Business Accelerator" programmes have been criticised by past customers.[3] In 2020, the only active company registered in Rose's name was Longstem Limited. Longstem, at the end of 2018, reported debts of over £374,000.[3]

In 2018, he competed in an Ironman competition while living on a plant-based diet and has hosted a number of vegans on his YouTube channel.[17]

Rose is standing in the 2021 London mayoral election as an independent candidate.[18][6] On 24 January 2021, Rose and six of his staff were fined by police for breaking lockdown rules while filming promotional material for his campaign.[19]
