Russell Brand tears Britains best political critic a new asshole

[Army of One]

Lol, Brand is sharp as hell, wouldn't want to be debating him

[bigmc]

his arguments all fall down as they are based on ideology without thought given to implication

that being said he is very eloquent and charismatic

I wish I could speak like that

I kind of agree but as he said anything is better than the current, also strong no homo for below:

"CONTROVERSIAL comedian Russell Brand has admitted to having sex with a man in a bar toilet, purely for a television show.
Brand made the confession to fellow comic Richard Herring during a podcast interview.

Brand told how he performed the act as it was filmed for a TV documentary series when he was a heroin addict.

He said: "I w***** off a man in a toilet. I thought, ‘I think of myself as heterosexual but perhaps that’s ‘cause of the environment that I grew up in where homosexuality may have been difficult for me to express.’”

The show - called RE:Brand - was aimed at exploring social taboos, said Brand.

"I trawled around Soho going to various gay bars, gay gyms trying to pick people up with a film crew.

"I went in this pub and I goes: ‘Anyone want me to w*** them off?’ And this bloke goes, ‘Yep’. Like as if I was saying: ‘Does anyone want a packet of crisps from the bar.’"

He said: "So we goes to the lavvy - me, him, the director - and he gets his willy out. And it was not nice. The phallus is... I like mine and you see some others in paintings that look all right but his looked like a rag.

"And we're in the toilet with the director standing there filming me and he goes, ‘I think it would be easier if I was able to touch yours’. I thought ‘F****** hell mate, do us a favour!’ And the director goes: 'Go on Russell it would be funny.’

"So I take down my trousers and pants and then the bloke sort of mauled at my genitals while I w***** him off."

Brand, of course, has battled both sex and drug addiction. He’s currently said to be dating Jemima Khan, ex-wife of cricketer, Imran Khan."

Any system pushed to extremes is going to cause issues.

Having some social programs is not a bad thing but take socialism to extremes and you have communism.

What is the extreme of capitalism called? Does it even have a name? What the world is suffering from now is an extreme. It does not mean that capitalism is broken, just that perhaps you shouldn't take it to the point where it is paying off politicians and poisoning the population.

I don't think a revolution is needed as much as some tweaking to what we have now.

eloquent working class man.... shame more politicians werent from humble beginnings with real jobs and real world experiences instead of being professional politicians off the conveyor belt from Oxford or Cambridge

If you want a movie to completely fail then star him in it.

I like Russell Brand, his stand-up shows are a bit poor and his movies have generally sucked, but his diction is superb, eloquent and pretty unique for a guy of his background. He seems to excel at political discussions and at interviews in general.

He beats Paxman hands down in this interview but the trouble with his logic is that he just comes across as another armchair anti-capitalist and he has no solutions, only identifies problems, which we can all do if we want. Men smarter than him over the centuries have wrestled with the idea as to how to improve upon capitalism and no-one has yet come up with any answers - he's just stirring the pot further but getting nowhere.

oooooohhhh kay...

stopped listening at 4:40 when he started demanding massive taxation of corporations and re-distribution of wealth and punishing bankers who receive bonuses.

fucking communist.


this is America.... we reward success. not punish it.

[delon]

He has the gift of the gab but that was all platitudes and cliches and verbal backtracks and detours-nothing there beyond what your average 1st year uni student has been saying since the dawn of time.  He didnt win that debate at all.

[Coach is Back!]

Is this the same guy who's worth $15mil and said that profit was evil? hahahahahahahahaha. "Sure would hate to debate him" lol.

I've always felt that about him.

[ESFitness]

who, exactly, does he think puts up the money (risk) for the production of his movies?

charities?

I don't see him working for free or giving away all his money to 'those in need'.

X2 celebrities are all the same , stick to acting and stfu why do people even listen to them is beyond me

Kind of like that tool Matt Damon who spoke out about wanting more govt control but sends his kids to private schools

LOL, I was wondering the same, but maybe there's a genius behind those walls of makeup...





























Nah, forget what I just wrote

Are you his accountant? No, so you have no clue how he's spending his fortune

[Teutonic Knight]

Childish & well scripted show, kids staff.
Old cigars smoking uniforms/suits a real decision makers.

[Coach is Back!]

Then cut his salary down to $50k and see if he changes his tune.

He's already loaded for the rest of his life and he seems not the kind of guy with six cars in his garage.

I think the point coach is trying to make is celebrities/athletes are not ones to talk since they are far from the average person in terms of income. It makes them look so hypocritical talking redistribution of wealth, taxes, etc...

He might not have 6 cars in his garage but I reckon he is no cheapskate and indulges and spends on other stuff whether it be boats, mansions, expensive watches etc

Lol, Brand is sharp as hell, wouldn't want to be debating him

He's a fast talker and can clearly think on his feet. Sharp as hell? I don't know... I guess that depends on your definition of "smart" but I don't think that a man who advocates for "a socialist-egalitarian system based on the massive redistribution of wealth, heavy taxation of corporations and [...] the very concept of profit should be hugely reduced" is smart.

Socialism doesn't work. Wealth redistribution doesn't work. Heavy taxation doesn't work.

These are facts.

He makes good points elsewhere (such as the fact that the people are being underserved by the politicians that they keep in power; mostly platitudes, but still good points) but I simply can't take seriously a man who promotes a position that goes against established and indisputable facts. It's simply not rationally defensible.

I hate to agree with Coach but Brand wants to redistribute other people's wealth, why doesn't he start by redistributing his own wealth first? Because it's always more fun when other people's means are used for one's ends. That's why.
