I thought I would check on Russell Brand to see what the clown has been up toHe has said:“We cannot depend on leaders to change things, we have to think for ourselves and organise our communities democratically”Lol. What a clown and anti working class to boot.Have a look at his final ‘trews’ its all anti socialist.“The media, government and big business work together to create one big story” Ha ha lolThere’s a lot of other crap on this video where he is trying to hoodwink the workers.UK government supplying arms to terrorist in deed. Ha ha.We don’t agree with non of that you clown.But don’t take my word for it have a look for yourself.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvoqQT41wos
Russell Brand wrote:"….what I think revolution really means, and what it literally does mean, is a change of power not using the conventional means of power. We're gonna have to come together in a different way to create that change."Six minutes in.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvoqQT41wos
We all seem to have missed this: Brand has retired from the social media as he doesn't want to be the centre of attention anymore as it distracts from the struggles he supports. So perhaps he really didn't want to be a leader after all.http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/russell-brand-quits-social-media-and-the-trews-10464057.html
Quote:The comedian and political activist announced he would be taking a breaking from his weekly YouTube programme, The Trews, in an episode on Thursday. His hiatus came a day after Brand released a YouTube video backing Jeremy Corbyn despite swearing off politics after the general election.That's the opinion of the Independent (! ?) journalist and a flagrant example of the fallacy of "post hoc, propter hoc" (see DJP's talk at Summer School) of concluding that because one thing happens after another one the first one is the cause of the second. It wasn't a reason Brand gave. In fact, he didn't actually say vote for Corbyn, only commented ironically about why was what he said (on austerity, war, etc) considered so outrageous. But then, the Independent is backing one of the pro-business, anti-welfare candidates for Labour Leader (the one called Cooper, I think).

I see Russell is back on twitter.
I don't think Brand was the first clown to upset the ruling class by exposing capitalism. https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=20&v=DfGs2Y5WJ14
Unauthorised documentary film about Brand has been releasedhttp://www.theguardian.com/culture/2015/oct/24/maker-of-russell-brand-film-he-wants-what-we-all-want-for-our-lives-to-matter
Someone recently asked what Russell Brand is up to now. Stumbled across this.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZt2cRmCHR0Some interesting stuff once you get past the first few minutes about christianity. It's a long interview so I haven't listened to it all yet.

Quote:"The problem with Marxism, …" they said, which is anti-religious sharing, don't be scared of that word, I know we're in America, they said that "… the problem with Marxism is that it placed economics forever at the heart of politics when what belongs at the heart of politics is spirituality!" And socialism, in a way, is just a Christian principle, just that idea that we're all the same, we're all connected, we should share, we can't be happy if other people are suffering, its just a sort of a logical thing.add that to

He's a guy who's fond of the sound of his own voice.
Tsk Tsk, letting one's personal taste in humour overtake the discussion thread…shame on your rodmanlewis…we all have different senses of humour…Some indeed may find Brand's stand-up humour amusingBut many years in the past, i forego his Edinburgh Fringe debut … comedy because of the commercial links with the booze industry and their subsequent monopoly of all the best venues and show-times comedy has diminished much of the quality and breadth of the Fringe.

Con-man more like. The only thing mildly 'amusing' about this entire episode is how Brand managed to pull the wool over so many people's eyes including some who decidely should have known better. Right from the outset it was blatantly apparent he didn't know his arse from his elbow…
