Thread: Russell Brand: Hero or Zero?

During my prolonged period in exile for inciting the wrath of the Zionist empire, I have found myself enjoying Russell Brand. Brand is a man that has some people foaming at the mouth with hatred, but it is something I find hard to place. Is it because he is an addict that likes to fuck? Isn't any man flawed? What sets Brand apart for me though is that he has taken the time to read his Chomsky, to get involved in local issues, to show that he cares.

Russell Brand is really just one of us and he had no need to ever get involved with local concerns or develop a politics of reason. I watched him on Question Time and was almost in tears at the way he restrained himself with a premeditated audience and yet another media agenda to try and belittle him. However, he maintained his cool and he expressed his points with an integrity found nowhere else on the panel. He made Farage look like a dinosaur.

Sure, he resorted to insults and looked at Farage as though he is evil, but Farage was very telling in going nowhere near the City of London (centre of all global evil) which only received praise. Then the clap trap from others about the NHS and privatisation. It effectively has been privatised with PFI initiatives and new contracts handed out daily. The BBC will not tell the truth and shows like Question Time are another example of the antiquated and agenda driven purpose of the BBC. Having Brand on is meant to 'fill gaps', but if Brand is for real, maybe they are playing a dangerous game. Th same can be said of Farage. Farage versus Brand says it all about the BBC and the UK.....what a travesty.

Personally, I applaud Russell Brand. Though I don't find him funny, I don't need to be entertained by him. What I think people need is someone with a sense of decency sticking up for them and if Brand is willing to get up there in front of a loaded audience and put himself through it, then full credit to the man. Brand is right. There is nobody to vote for and the revolution will come from beyond. The system itself is rot. His Trews videos are very good too and along with Russia Today is where people should be heading for their news. The mainstream is dead. God, condemn the Queen.

He wants to keep quiet....unless he wants to be a member of parliament

Job Biscuit (nuff said)!!!

eh eh!!

he is one of them people, I could smack in the face again and again and REALLY ENJOY IT,
yes mate I could, then kick him in the bollocks for fun.

I like Brand. He actually joins demonstrations and takes action. He is not just words and I rate him for having the courage of his convictions and saying how it is.

BBC News - Farage and Brand trade post Question Time insults

He is brilliant.

Interesting comments. Brand is someone the AM is very suspicious of, but I don't see what harm a voice sticking up for ordinary people can do. He could stay in his penthouse preening and doing nothing, but he actually is doing something, and I can only look at the positive in that rather than focusing on the negative such as the hypocritical and frankly ludicrous Sun newspaper approach. I really enjoy his Trews and welcome his voice.

Brand my have his opinion but , if your on £55 to live feed, cloth , and keep yourself warm, remarks
by a bit of a celebrity are of very little help.!
Farage is a shit bag UKIP policy's, are just Tory's that hate the EU for all the flag waving that's what
they are.
Russell Brand is what he is a you like him or you don't.!

Brand has made it clear he does not want to be a 'professional politician'. He wants to use his fame to bring a voice to causes that he believes in. Many of them are very worthwhile, although one of them 'causes' is a book he is selling. Despite that caveat, I think Brand is a brilliant addition to political discourse in the UK, and I commend him for much of his work.

Brand was good on Question Time, but he faltered with his 'I don't want to become like them' comment in response to the question of why don't you become directly involved. I agree with the view that the system is beyond any repair and thus it must must collapse externally, but I found his response a little shallow. However, he was under pressure and I guess it just came out that way. It's hard to think sometimes under pressure. Also his comments about being just an entertainer on Twitter were evasive. He shouldn't say that. He is aspiring for more than mere entertainment, and you can entertain and motivate and help people. He knows it's now more than entertainment otherwise he wouldn't be doing it. Revolution is not a game. Brand gets a raw deal from the mainstream media too. They are traitors really and their grip on opinion is tenuous at best. I think people are seeing through it all now, whence the police state reaching out its tentacles in a not so subtle manner. The UK mainstream media is in a very poor state of affairs really. You can sense the dinosaur nations giving out a roar, but they have lost all credibility with banking, wars, torture, austerity, privatisation, tuition fees etc. The backlash is long overdue.

Remember the link I put, that guy was the brother of a member of UKIP. Cunt.

UKIP are a party of disgruntled Tory's, there policy's are based on immigration and not much else
there are many issues immigration is just one of them.!
Farage and his mob are using immigration as there main target, Farage just one more posh boy
whipping up the peasants, in to a frenzy I take a look at the bigger picture.
Will UKIP improve you standard of living no not one bit,! will there be more jobs and housing for
us brits no, Thatcher knackered this Country up, she hated Community as people stick together
you destroy Community your onto a winner, the old bitch I hope she burns in hell.

Brand is no different than Billy Bragg a Champagne Socialist. Socialism for all but him!

Demonstrations are important to Brand, unless he wants to go and hang out with David Walliams and Jimmy Carr at a Musical Theatre launch party. Then it's OK to just 'show your face' for appearances sake and then leave.
