Brand: "Vote Labour"

Back Miliband for an overall majority now at over 100-1 . Price will soon collapse once this gets out.

Hope you got on Burton. You can thank me and David on Friday.

Brand is one hell of a joke. vote, don't vote, revolution, laughing stock.

Don't underestimate his influence.

Its frightening to think that some people may actually vote for a Govt because  Russell Brand has told them to.

I agree with Dotchinite.  Remember Brand is the guy that only a couple of weeks ago was urging everyone not to vote at all.  The whole scenario that he could be some sort of guru to young persons is very frightening indeed.  What publicity stunt is he going to pull next to fill his coffers?

I remember last time, Sheffield Hallam particularly, a lot of people didn't get to vote as they didn't have their polling cards and due to LA inefficiency where they run their finger up and down 16 sides of names on some paper, when it came to 10pm they were still queueing and didn't get on.

This time could be worse as some will arrive at the polling booth to vote Green or Labour to find they are not even registered, and someone will no doubt blame Russell Brand for this. They'll bleat on demanding a second election because this one wasn't fair.

Lots of nice errors in RB videos:
-850bn cost of bank bailouts - check
-5,000 fewer nurses - check
-tax cuts for being a millionaire - check
-food bank users over 1 million - check
-austerity - check
All bolocks of course, but say it often enough and people believe it.

Still the funniest thing since the Green Party Boyzone video though.

What's even more depressing is that the media are reporting Brand's recommendation.

I've said it before don't assume that young people listening to his ultimately self serving boll&&ks that they are going to agree with him.

I know I wouldn't have done in my teens/early 20s let alone now.

This is the man today's youth are going to take notice of?

Why on earth is this Brand character being put centre stage by the London Media? 

Surely any sensible person would view any political endorsement made by Brand as a disaster for the party concerned?

It's a damn sight more frightening, anybody wanting to vote for the vermin Tories.

.....and look where you are now !

cameron and co will be puzzled how somebody as wealthy as brand has not become a tory

it'll be the drugs he's snorted

yep not some deadbeat socialist thinking they have a 'right' to stick their hands in other people's pockets to make up for their own failings

All that money. You'd think he'd have discovered a bar of soap by now.

Tories  love  the  tory VAT   tax

I think it's fair to say that most adults in the UK wouldn't let Brand through their front door. So why on earth is anyone giving him ANY political credibility or a platform? Is it just very poor judgement on the part of the (inevitably) left-wing media outlets?

Time will tell !

I think it's fair to say that most adults in the UK wouldn't let Boris Johnson through their front door either

I think it's fair to say Diane Abbott wouldn't fit through most front doors

I can imagine her getting in my gaffe, just not being able to turn round and get back out again. Unless she walked out backwards.

Not a big fan of boris but he's still preferably to that dirty pimp looking bland

may flabbot has one of those wide load reverse beeper things??

^ what a class act.
