coda Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I don't agree with him advising people not to vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted October 19, 2014 Moderator Share Posted October 19, 2014 Neither do I, but I think he reflects a groundswell of opinion that's growing around the whole system of political rule needing to be changed, rather than the colour of the ties - democracy is dead, we just get to pick an oppressor. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyPowers Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Fox news are such an easy target and Jon Stewart does a far, far better job lampooning them through satire than Russell Brand ever can charging around doorstepping people. I really don't get what Russell Brand is trying to accomplish. He should take a leaf out of Frankie Boyle's book, who is far sharper politically but permeates his politics by being occasionally hilarious. Russell Brand just comes across as a dumb anarchist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I watch them. Sometimes I agree, other times he gets on my nerves. He means well, and is honest enough to admit that part of the reason he does it, is for his own ego. I know a lot of people absolutely hate him, but I like his stand up stuff, and I think he's got some decent ideas. On the flip side, I think he's way off the mark with his non voting stance, but I see how he's developed the idea. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 He is a bell end. I'm not sure I want to be lectured about him about politics really, he should stick to what he's good at. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowychap Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) He also has been encouraging people not to vote at next election as a protest of how politics is in this countryI don't know how he has been doing it or his reasoning but I fully support the idea and hope that it would be incredibly effective.At around 60% turnout, the politicians (and most of the electorate) can still blame the apathy of those that don't vote rather than the incompetence of the elected, the electorate and the system.Edit: I'm not a fan of Mr Brand.

tonyh29 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 He is a bell end. I'm not sure I want to be lectured about him about politics really, he should stick to what he's good at. I was about to give you a like Then I struggled to think what exactly he is actually good at He's not for me ... Though tbf he does a reasonable job in the minion movies But politics wise he's only going to appeal to fake socialists and people that think Mehdi Hasan was awesome on question time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually the fact that he ended a marriage to Katy Perry reinforces what a bellend he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
