Sorry if this has already been discussed. Was just wondering what people's opinions of Russell brand are? Obviously not him as a comedian but the work he's currently doing. Personally I think he's brilliant to listen to and seems genuine
There are only a few replies though, and actually the subject was brought up more recently (by Frankie I think) but in a different thread that I can not find now.
In my opinion he is doing a lot of good, even if just with his support of issues like the housing estate in london and his agenda against big companies. It is also never a bad thing to have someone fancy that will tear into politicians because then at least some people will listen. He is fashionable and it will be hard for MSM etc to effectively quieten him down.
I think he has the potential to help people become active in claiming back power from the government. Beyond that who knows.
Id imagine he is criticized by some who would want him to go further and attempt to wake up the masses. He flirted quickly with the 9/11 theme recently, however I think he is skeptical about coming out in favour of such beliefs because its then a weapon to be used against him, discredit his ideas etc.
I have not read his book as I am away just now but hopefully will after xmas. He is very clever, articulate and has a sense of humour so I would imagine it is good. Have you read it?
the interviewer was out of his depth and then brings up 9/11 to shut up brand, again brand is cute enough to highlight the relationship between the bush family and bin lardens, watch the interview, also I watched this a week or so ago and I tend to read the comments below the youtube video, bbc newsnight have disabled any comments a few weeks ago and I have just checked again and its still disabled.
