Unfortunately I have no opinion on the matter because I can only picture him kneading Katy Perry's soft luscious boobs whilst licking double cream off of her taught youthful nether regions!
Forget your prejudices - there is one central message beside all the laddy posing which is spot on - the current system is not working for the vast majority of the people. Only a politician or multi millionaire can deny that, surely? Whether your bug bear is "bloody foreigners" or "bloody tax avoiders" no one is happy with the status quo.
Everyone's obsessing over this 10 minute interview in which brand says very little except "poverty is bad, equality is good". He just butters it up with lots of fancy words (occasionally using them in the wrong context) and everyone looks all bright eyed and "oh isn't this really clever". I like the bloke's ramblings on things, but he just chatted the most obscene amount of shit for 10 minutes and you can see Paxman pretty much thought the same.
Or you could set aside your prejudices and listen to the central point he makes?
that the current system is unfair? Well done einstein Brand, no one's said that before. I went into watching the video thinking "oh, a paxman/brand interview, brand always talks a lot of sense" and came away thinking the guy is just an attention seeking, articulate turnip.
So not going to set aside the prejudices then KA... LOL.
Oh well, we can't all be patronising bellends like you. Nice one for trying to derail a thread that could possibly turn out some interesting debate LOLOLOLOL

Nothing will change, because no-one actually cares. Sure people like to moan about how nothing is fair for them, but then they'll shuffle off to vote in a few years time for two parties that are exactly the same.
And to be honest, we're not that hard done by really. Poor people are looked after and businessmen have the capacity to start up and run successful companies.

Exactly, the current system has hardly failed him has it. He seems to have a bigger problem with the US government than with ours

this is how I see it. This country is brilliant when it comes to political satire. When ever people arnt happy about what the government are doing whether through an injustice or through incompetence we usually moan and then laugh about it, calling those in charge a bunch of clowns. Few get angry enough about it to actually stand up and try to challenge the powers that be.
though brand offers little to explain how his revolution will come about and what will happen after it, he does however bring up a point that a fair few would agree upon. People want change, ANY kind of change because they are fed up and disillusioned with how things are. Should he be the leader of this revolution? I hope not.
Funny, I've never heard any undergrads speak such sense. We're so brainwashed into thinking that the current system is the only way to be and we have to put up with it that the second someone starts talking sense and comes up with some radical ideas they're rambling or a crackpot. Nothing will ever change because no one believes it to be possible.
