Absolutely hysterical.
Russell Brand being made to look a grade A fool; one of his acolytes in the crowd interrupting, making accusations. Even a UKIP supporter made him look like a 6th form student. |  |

My son, who was in his early twenties at the time, watched Brand in the Paxman interview. He was impressed at his passion and wanted to find out more about various political issues. I don't care if the man is an egotist - we all are, at heart - he's probably doing some good in exciting some sort of interest in young people. It's not easy either in a moribund political climate dominated by mediocre politicians and threatened by lunatic right wing figures like Farage.
Brand has money. So did Tony Benn. Doesn't make them corrupt. |  | | |

Oh come on Paul you don't really believe that Brand gives a f*ck,I love your passion Paul but if Brand wasn't disagreeing with Farage you'd think he was the same as all the other rich c*nts. |
All the rich c*nts? Like those Cheap Trick, chaps? 
Having a few bob doesn't automatically make you a wrong 'un in precisely same way not having two pennies to rub together makes you a paragon of virtue. The relative worth of an individual isn't measured by the thickness of a wallet. |  |

Russ s interest in the "working class" is purely for the benefit of Russell Brand.
He is frankly taking the piEss out of every one who is not privy to his earning power and his drug fuelled ego.
A deeply disgusting individual who uses the "working class" as a tool for himself and his career.
Just wished FARAGE HAD TW@ATTTED HIM VERY HARD | |

no one is saying that money makes Brand corrupt.
I am saying that the way that he behaves is in contrast to the way he speaks, and that makes him a hypocrite. There is a difference.
On the wider point about most politicians being mediocre - I couldn't agree more.
Brand's problem is that he is not bright enough to really understand. Hence why he made some sort of patronising comment in that self serving crap he wrote about his 'experience' about Camilla Cavendish, who absolutely wiped the floor with him last night. | | | |

I can't take him seriously enough to summon up much in the way of strong feelings. He's more like something I would have pointed at and told the kids "remember when I said it was important to eat your greens? He didn't." | |

Brand is typical of the hampstead socialist who peddle this working class mantra persistently ,hoping to con people into thinking they re on their side. No really.
Brand is probabaly the biggest hypocrite of all and utterly without crwedibility and should never be on QT .
Humanist? Tell that to the Andrew SACHS family.

That comparison is unfair on Johnson who for all his contrived buffoonery is a Balliol classics graduate and a writer of genuine distinction. His Dream of Rome is superb, Lisa, and his Churchill biography is first rate. (Christmas is coming fast)
Brand, so far as I can see, projects himself as a sort of ethereal auto-didact. Which is fine, he can be whoever he wants, but does owe it to himself to get properly prepared for public showdowns to avoid embarrassment...for the viewer as much as for his own sake. |
Oh, the buffoonery is just an act, but he is quite a lot more unpleasant than his contrived persona.
The problem with Boris is that for all his posturing, he, again, is not quite as bright (or as quick on his feet) as he likes to think. He is well read, and as you say, writes extremely well, but where Brand slips into what he believes to be intellectual sounding garbage to hide his lack of knowledge, Boris does exactly the same thing with Latin or Greek. | | | |

It would be a pretty short debate....
Everything is the fault of the bankers.
No it's not.
If I were Russell Brand I may have tried to make space for a reference to my John Thomas but, that aside, the above would be a concise indication of the level of the debate. | |

what points are those?
"Speaking as a political activist, everything about this oppressive feudal system is designed by the rich bankers and the well oiled machinery surrounding them to keep the proletariat in our collective places while systematically screwing our hard working communities for every penny they can get their self serving, grubby little paws on mate (or love, depending on the gender) and I call on everyone to reject their archaic, class ridden, policies and to rise up against them"
So, Russell, what do you think we should do instead?
"Don't ask me, mate, I'm just a comedian"
That type of thing you mean? | | | |

Exactly.. to be a genius.. you've got to be mad.. to get the extra.. you've got to be mad.. it's like a switch you turn on.. you're awed.. gobsmacked with the madness in which he works.. have you ever seen a craftsman with OCD? He checks without even looking.. he's got different eyes to everybody else.. he's not taught.. he has his own instincts.. he doesn't hide.. he crafts instinctively.. he doesn't read books to cover up flaws.. he just understands quickly.. Boris and Brand don't have that understanding.. they think they do.. but they don't.. the flaws are there.. no politician is flawless.. because they're unwilling to go the extra mile. |  |

One of the most simplistic and idiotic things I've ever read on here, impressive!
I'm no fan of Brand, at all - but arguably the Left needs him at the moment. Beyond him and Owen Jones there really is precious little new blood coming through. Like it or not people like Brand get youngsters interested and questioning things. Politics is also increasingly becoming personality based, see Boris and Farage as living proof of that.
