Russell Brand getting owned badly by Jon Snow

[JasonH]

First time I've ever seen him rattled by an interviewer

Starts losing the argument at 2:00, starts melting at 3:00, he's well and truly finished by 4:00:

[smoothasf]

The interviewer has his number before he sat in the chair, very calm confident none aggressive delivery which Russel isn't used to.  Russells weakness will always be that he wants change but has no idea what kind if change.

[Automation]

I just wish Snow had said: "Russell..... You're melting hard, but you're still wider than Heath."

[Simple Simon]

There are a million pricks like him moaning about how things are, nearly all of them are moaning because drugs are illegal.
They dont want change they just want to be able to do what they want and fuck everyone else.

And I have debated them on several websites and to a man they have no idea what they would replace the current government with, but when pressed they nearly always come up with a system exactly the same but with them calling the shots.

Fuck him, idiot.

[Radical Plato]

Watched to the 5 minute mark where Russell brand owned the old twat constantly. The old conservative could offer nothing more than a red herring constantly focusing on Russell's other views completely unrelated to the drug illegitimacy issue.  The irony is politicians propose the drug laws are to help protect people from themselves, and yet making them illegal has created far more pain and suffering, huge violent criminal cartels, unprecedented organised violent crime, unregulated dangerous drugs and possibly created more drug users than ever could have been imagined in a decriminalised environment. 

The self righteous, retarded religious , moralistic old guard that wants to impose their sick twisted morality onto everyone else forcing their lifestyle concepts unto them is slowly losing ground, with informed people everywhere coming out of the woodwork and challenging these degenerate crazy old coots.

Lol, Brand wants the politicians who he doesn't believe should be there in the first place to sort out his problems.

idiot.

His solution is based on the current paradigm, he has no choice but to work within the current political climate. His objection to voting is a protest he endorses to eventually establish an alternate system so that we won't even have to worry about ridiculous laws criminalising human nature in the first place.  To lock people up for smoking pot but not for drinking or possessing alcohol is absurdity at it's finest, a situation that could only be created by a schizophrenic Governance with the support of A SCHIZOPHRENIC FOLLOWING.

Russell is talking about illicit drug regulations, a societal issue that effects almost everyone.  To suggest it is 'his problem' shows the absurdity of your point of view, an incredible bias and an inability to asses a pretty simple situation for what it is.

In case you hadn't noticed he hasn't got a solution.
He is just unhappy with the status quo.

[StreetSoldier4U]

Brand is typical of the kind of person who has lofty aspirations but has very limited understanding of the problem. Such a person is incapable of providing practical and/or viable solutions.

He's better at being a drug addict than a revolutionary. Total helmet.

Thread contains nothing about Game of Thrones.

Am pissed off.

[Rami]

Tries to come off as smart, trendy and important. What he wants is attention and approval because he is insecure.

[Megalodon]

Russel Brand isn't a political figure in the United States like he apparently is in Britain.

[polychronopolous]

Take the island of Hawaii, force all residents to leave and replace them with an equal population of Russell Brand and like minded individuals. Allow them complete power to create their own government and country however they choose fit then come back in 10 years and see what kind of glorious society they have created the likes of which we could only dream of.

[Radical Plato]

In case you hadn't noticed he hasn't got a solution.

Yes he has, I think his solution is pretty obvious, the decriminalization of illicit drugs.  The people who have NO SOLUTIONS are the current crop of idiot politicians, who just maintain the current brokenness synonymous with the system.  Typical conservatists not wanting to change unless some type of perfect solution is offered up.  Earth to idiots, you aren't going to find a perfect solution in regards to illicit drug use, just the choice between several paradigms and which one is better.  The current criminalisation of drugs is ten times worse than no regulations at all.

Guy was hitched to Katy Perry.

Blew that one.

Of course, maybe she's a total nutcase. Who knows. Either way, guy was hitched to Katy Perry.

I actually see RB presented his case rather well.

RB seems to be irritated at the fact that JS invited him to the show to talk about his initiative, when in reality the old man had other things in mind. What we call a motherfücker in the USA.

JS was holding on for dear life on the don't vote issue.

e-kul and russell holding their own itt

True.  The old coot just kept desperately trying to shove the 100lb issue of complete governmental change into the 2lb bag of drug law reform.  They're separate issues.  Lacking faith in the current system doesn't mean you can't still at least try to effect change through it.  You don't have to wipe out the government every time you want to alter a single set of laws.

RB seems interested in striving for improvement of what a lot of people believe are shitty laws, and he's taking real action to do it by making those voices heard so the issue is brought to the fore.  Respect.  The interviewer seems to be saying RB either needs to have a complete revolution or do nothing at all, which is just silly.  You don't have to cut off your head every time you need to pick your nose.

Brand is a douche. A quick witted douche. And his fx show "brand x" was unwatchable. 

Arthur, his movie, made me want to throw popcorn at the old man in front of me at the theater who was obviously carrying.

So just get rid of the laws he doesnt like?

I dont like the fact that I cant drink whilst intoxicated, can we get rid of that one as well?

This interview would have been so much better, had he done that thing with his tongue.
