Where did Russell Brand suddenly appear from? Who is this guy and why should anyone listen to him regardless of wit or intelligence? What's he done to make him worth listening to is what I'm asking?
He has done nothing to make him worth listening too. He's just another celebrity that thinks he knows politics.

And his solution is a "socialist egalitarian centralized administrative system"?
No thanks. I'll have the opposite of that please.
So you want a capitalist, decentralized caste system?
Let me guess... you would be part of the caste that could own land, people, and make politcal decisions, right?

Russell Brand is currently being given significant airtime at the discretion of the BBC where he is allowed to talk of revolution, despite his history with the organisation. That alone should set alarm bells ringing.
As of yet, I don't believe I have heard an original thought from him.
I believe he is being promoted as a potential leader of some sorts and the fact this is taking place now seems like a significant move.
I believe he has attended David Icke events.

Anyone else notice his resemblance to 'Jesus Christ' ?
Seriously, he does look like him (going by the many paintings, pictures, books etc...

I don't feel he has been given any special or significant airtime. His recent subject matter has been political but his publicity hasn't been enhanced in anyway. He's gradually built the momentum which has led to this interview.
I think the BBC invited Brand to be interviewed by Paxman in the hope he would crumble and be displayed as the clown or jester of the moment. They possibly underestimated him as Paxman was overwhelmed and unable to respond to Brands honest and collected argument. I think, as mentioned in an earlier post, that honesty is Brands main force as it's very difficult to put up a strong argument against it.
Regardless of the fact of whether his content and information is original or not doesn't matter as long as it's the truth.edit on 24/10/2013 by heliopolis because: (no reason given)edit on 24/10/2013 by heliopolis because: (no reason given)
