Yeh - he's doing all this for his own publicity. Of course he is, There can't be another explanation, can there ?
|

By:
I think he is genuinely going through an `awakening` process which millions of the named `truthers` have also gone through. He is still trying to digest what is being revealed to him by his Occupy connections. It`s a rush of blood to head, and it also feeds him for material to voice, he is a voice. The messiah complex runs as deep as anyones.
He is sincere to a point, as long as he is causing a reaction and stick it up the dusty institutions. Fair play, but i wouldn`t expect him to stick around for long. It will be a complicated process. |

By:
I think he's very sincere, and passionate about what he's saying. He is famous and therefore has a platform off of which he can put forth his ( mostly others) facts and figures. He recognises that he is just a vehicle through which (hopefully ) the underlying message will be heard, picked up and acted upon in ways that will have an exponential impact.

He will change absolutely nothing. I bet he doesnt give his money away either.

cant say I agree with everything he says, but its a different voice in a sea of rampant capitalist & anti muslim / immigration bile.
Dont understand the hate for him. Could it be establishment / media dont like what he says? |
|
By:
or he has a new book out
 |

By:
I dont think people hate him. In fact people are laughing at him a lot more than they ever have before. His Newsnight sketches are hilarious.

THOMAS PIKETTY was mentioned in the Newsnight interview. Has anyone actually mentioned Piketty on this thread yet...up to now...?
 So why not just forget that an a$$ like Brand exists and go and get the Piketty book, "Capital in the Twenty-First Century." |

"Pay your tax you sl@gs" cried rustle brand while pushing his book. Published by the behemoth Pearson group, registered in Luxembourg! Hahaha whatacunt.

The naivety is staggering,a self publicist with a millionaire house in USA and denouncing the establishment,always an easy figure to attack ? You have to be barmy to fall for all that. AT least Citizen Smith was plausible !

Why do people think , you have to be in rags and penniless if you have a serious message. Does it make it a difference. RB gets criticised because he's chauffeured around. What do you want ? If he rode around on a bike would it make what he debates more credible ?

i know he wants a revolution but he doesnt seem to know what he wants at the end of it to me

Economic choices are no longer in the hands of the voters, the mega banks & multi nationals are in control. We vote in governments who then manage us for a period of time until they are voted out and then the next change of brand comes along to manage us. We are managed, we are not represented.
The system has been manufactured for us to believe we have democracy but if we can not be represented then the who notion of democracy is an illusion. Our government is in the hands of international capital, we can`t change the way we are represented unless we find an alternative society to live in, we need to make a new one. Heavy man. |

Clement Attlee was "chauffeured" around the hustings by his wife. The car would stop and Attlee would open the door and immediately deliver about 400 words of perfect prose to the waiting journalists, whatever the question. His wife would then do the Times crossword while Attlee gave a "soapbox" speech.
Attlee was a serious man with serious policies. His govt. was a truly great govt. but it was not trivial, clownish or malicious... As Ally Ross wrote in the Sun, Brand's hypocrisy is overwhelming..."Brand's the environmental campaigner with a chauffeur driven Merc.The multi-millionaire Hollywood resident who mocks Evan Davis for his bourgeois lifestyle.The anti-royalist who backs the Royal Charter to curb the powers of the press." Those Brand podcasts are also edited by Johann Hari, a seriously discredited journalist. |

It's like the firewall between Big Brother and Newsnight is down and the political discourse has been invaded by a feckin' BB-obsessive troll on speed.

Yeh, let's all read The Sun, that'll change things . Ffs !!

Very excited about MILEY CYRUS being on Newsnight next week, discussing her new booky wooky woo, "Twerk Yo Revolution Dude."
There are rumours that Emily Maitlis might join Miley for some suggestive - yet utterly spiritual and revolutionary - twerking at the conclusion of the interview. |

Just for you Vellie baby. (p.s. he is a film producer, not a politician).

Brand doesnt seem to extend his views on tax avoiders to the company who paid him a large sack of money for his book. Typical hypocrisy.

You’re all beautiful, both inside and out. You mustn’t worry about anything; nothing is important except finding love within yourself and being all honourable and glorious and beautiful. Take things dead slowly ’cause nothing you can attain externally has value, only that which is within yourself already is valuable. PARKLIFE!

We all need something to help us unwind at the end of the day. You might have a glass of wine, or a joint, or a big delicious blob of heroin to silence your silly brainbox of its witterings but there has to be some form of punctuation, or life just seems utterly relentless. PARKLIFE!

We must not be scumbox children of capitalistic condescension, eco-skinheads of raging ferment - our prioritization of acceptable advances in the cosmos must never be codified by farty controllers of the dollar Coliseum. PARKLIFE!

“Rebel children, I urge you, fight the turgid slick of conformity with which they seek to smother your glory.” Parklife!!

I think many of the boundaries that convention has placed upon us are arbitrary, so we can fiddle with them if we fancy. Gravity’s hard to dispute, and breathing, but a lot of things we instinctively obey are a lot of old tosh. PARKLIFE!

Like a rebel hedgehog on speed we must always deny the parasites of complacency. PARKLIFE!

Most assuredly negative. The Rambunctious comedian is quintessentially poignant and lacks only the capacity to investigate his vast linguistic capacity in reflective contemplation of his navel.
He is a mammary gland. work it out - bad English.. when nobody understands you - seek help. |

Never mind the benign modern aparatchiks of a certain density, for their winkles are sad even as we speak - let's forge a sparkly new dawn of libidinous funkyness beyond mere titilation. PARKLIFE!

Russell has a cunning plan!
Excellent show Facts, strangely enough the theme tune is always the tune that i start whistling for no apparent reason. We all have a whistling tune right? "Give the likes of Baldrick the vote and we'll be back to cavorting druids, death by stoning and dung for dinner..." |

Sounds like the police had to rescue the multi-millionaire from anti-capitalist demonstrators.

....and the Chitchat squad follow like sheep.... bullseye |
|
By:
I think the "bullseye" has been scored by whoever designated "PARKLIFE!" to Brand's rants...the reason it's attained "meme" status so quickly is because it has hit the mark so perfectly...in fact, it's a proper fookin' bullseye!
