you mean Brand used her, I'm shocked, shocked I tell you!Originally posted by minestrone View PostI believe Russell got rid of her by not speaking to her for quite a while, he used her to get work in in Hollywood. His subsequently lowered his own profile by his crap acting.Comment

Unless you are an expert on every topic about which he rants, you can't state that he's ignorant about everything he rants about. Even though it's quite likely.Originally posted by Doggy Styles View PostQuite right zero, and with incoherent ideas to boot. Quite aside from him being a hypocrite, ignorant of that about which he rants, and an all-round nasty piece of work.
It's amazing that he was allowed on Question Time. I'm not a fan of the show, but I thought it was more serious than that.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

I didn't say everything, only the subject in the blokes reply. It's this anti-establishment/anti-banker thing that Brand has gone on about before.Originally posted by d000hg View PostUnless you are an expert on every topic about which he rants, you can't state that he's ignorant about everything he rants about. Even though it's quite likely.
It's all very well for him to rail against all politicians and banking staff, but what does he propose to replace them with? Who will administer the nation's organs? Who will look after his money?
Then once he has answered that, how does he propose to transition to his new model?Comment

I suspect he is lining himself up for a shot at some kind at politics.
Thing is I have never heard anyone say "Russell Brand has a really funny joke, it goes like this" or similar with his books or films.
He knows feck all about banking but just as long as he knows how to get everyone else who does not know anything about it on his side. He has been going about selected groups and working them, promising them all sorts of crap. Last week free houses, this week I see he is working the disabled audience.
I'm sure you have all see this but it's always good to see it again...

TBH the interviewer comes across as a berk in that video - as does the woman - and rarely RB comes across quite well. No dictionary diarrhoea, and the fact he's lucky enough to affords a prime rental location is nobody's business. Saying only poor people can support the poor is asinine.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

I think the point was that he is renting his house from a company that is based offshore and his 79 grand a year rent is not being taxed. Brand knew that was going to come out so went on the attack.Originally posted by d000hg View PostTBH the interviewer comes across as a berk in that video - as does the woman - and rarely RB comes across quite well.

So yes, he has some cheek and yes he is a hypocrite.Comment
