Don't think people on here are slating Brand on grounds of PC-ness (given we're talking about a man whose hobbies include leaving abusive messages on pensioners' voicemails), I think it's more on the grounds of him being a prize turnip.Chunes said:what a laugh to see all the NON-PC brigade getting their knickers in a twist over little Russel's belief in equality and togetherness hahaha bloody CONservative daily mailistas go back to top gear your prannies before I burn you all on blackheath

Messiah on speed! But if he succeeds in engaging people to play an active role in their local politics then that's OK with me as long as I don't have to watch or hear him. I love Nick Cohens description of him as a barmy Beverley Hills Buddhist!0

What worse than his Mum, Jo? ;-)Bryan_Kynsie said:Hey, Lincs, don't hold back, tell us what you really think!
Definitely the least funny person making a living out of comedy that I have ever had the misfortune to listen to. I'm including Ricky Gervais and Miranda Hart in this.0 -
Yeah agree with this. Flawed but he at least creates debate and that's no bad thing.stilladdicted said:Messiah on speed!

A hobby? I don't think you can consider something someone has done once as a hobby. An activity done regularly in one’s leisure time for pleasure. You don't still think that he is calling up Andrew Sachs do you?Fiiish said:

It's as if Brand, because he spent so many years in a stupor off his head on drugs, has only just woken up and noticed that we don't have a perfect world.
Despite what we think about most politicians, many do want to make a difference. The All-Party Parliamentary Group on Wellbeing Economics has come up with some interesting ideas that deserve some political support that someone like Brand would be far better promoting. Only if there is political engagement behind a credible alternative system will things change for the better, telling us not to vote is criminal. The report is being publicised by the NEF think tank.

Brand can be funny and I like his take on life but he might do well to do some basic reading on economics while on this new venture. He wears his ignorance of how governments tax and spend as a badge of honour when he could do a lot more good with his obvious talents to amplify the voices of ordinary people to assist rapid reform not revolution.
We have a sick system where half the MPs get a slap on the wrist for claiming thousands in expenses while people who shoplift basic food get time.
The majority partner in the coalition is actively stating that the working poor will have their benefits frozen "to address the deficit" while at the same time corporation tax cuts and inheritance tax cuts for the rich are introduced.
I saw Brand on newsnight and it was car crash stuff... But he's a smart cookie and I'm sure he will learn on his journey.
And he adds a wildcard element to next year's election which is already complex due to Farage and UKIP eating the Tory vote.0 -
Someone mentioned his public school education. I know the school Brand went to and also have friends that were there with him.
I can assure you it was no public school.
His arguments, although well worded, are very thin and he will quickly move from the intellectual to the piss taking twat he really is when someone finds one of the many holes lurking within them.0 -
Bless him. I had to turn the radio off yesterday as he was part of a group of guests discussing popular involvement in politics and the extent to which our political system did or did not empower people. There was a good level of discussion, until RB began to talk. His contribution seemed to be to belligerently interrupt the other guests (who were not the usual point-scoring axe-grinding bullshitters we generally get in discussions about politics) and the interviewer whilst clearly not understanding what they were saying, and making long improvised speeches about how "we" want revolution. He reminded me of me. Aged 14. Another example of
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.0 -
Nice...Ponce.... Hmm interesting choice of words.Lincsaddick said:Brand was on Radio 4, Start the Week today .. why does the BBC give this spoilt, childish buffoon so much air time? .. perhaps the dickhead public school educated, divorced from reality programmers/managers think that Brand is street cred and down with the kids, instead of recognising him as the horrible little ponce that he really is.

I believe he attended public school himself and has a solid middle class background - although his parents did separate and he had some traumatic episodes to deal with.Dazzler21 said:

pretty pricey for somewhere that's "no public school"0 -
If that is so it does not excuse him from holding himself out to be a comedian and being entirely mirth-free. You'd get more laughs from an evening with (insert any name) than you would with Russy - wussy. I suppose you don't have to tell jokes to be recognised as a comedian but surely you do have to generate a modicum of laughter. A smile even? Un-funniest person in the country (just my opinion).Wheresmeticket? said:

I thought behind all his bravado he raised some interesting points. I think maybe he's just a little to 'different' for some people on here0

Christ, I wasn't suggesting that having attended public school is some sort of recommendation! Fucker gives me the pip.Bryan_Kynsie said:

I see RB in Farnham occasionally where his dad lives. His father, who abandoned him at 6 months, is just as gobby and makes sure everyone knows who he is, check this out if you want proof of the influence of genes.

which are the same points the politicians he claims to have nothing in common with have been saying for years. The man has insatiable lust. Which has manifested itself in drugs, sex, fame throughout his life and now some kind of political messiah.Charlton Road James said:I thought behind all his bravado he raised some interesting points.

He's a celebrity. Doing what celebrities do. Self promotion a priority. That means using his privileged upbringing, position and wealth to voice his opinions on a national platform to which most of us do not have access and with almost unbelievable breathtaking irony claiming the status of outsider.0

If memory serves, he was only there 6 months before they booted him out!kentaddick said:

Thing about that voicemail whilst protesting Manuel got himself a gig on Cororanation Street of the back of that voicemail whilst the lady herself I believe launched a career in the Adult Entertainment industry.Fiiish said:
