That Russell Brand's interview . . . . .
Russell Brand's interview . . . . . I agree with him.
Think what you may of him, I thought he made a lot of sense.

Re: That Russell Brand's interview . . . . .
I've always like Russell Brand I have to admit. Got interviewed by him for Rapture TV years ago in Ibiza and seen him live with his stand up. I like Paxman too, but it's nice when you see him meet his match during an interview. I think a lot of people forget Brand is quite an intelligent man when they are busy judging him for Sachsgate or which celeb he's dating recently.

Re: That Russell Brand's interview . . . . .
I read an article he did on Margaret Thatcher when she died, which was absolutely brilliant.
And his "The Sun" stand up is very funny.
And yes, he does make a lot of sense in that interview, especially in his reasoning as to not voting.Q: What's worse than a Bully? A: His Sidekick

Was it as good as Hunter S Thompson's obituary of Richard Nixon?
Now that I've read it, good, but not with the same familiarity due to the fact Brand was so young during her tenure.

More left-wing, class warfare, pseudo-intellectual, prattle.
Great way to market yourself to your low-intelligence audience.
Paxman was right Russell Brand is “very trivial man”

That Russell Brand's interview . . . . .
As they say, regardless of who you vote for the government always gets in. I don't follow politics and usually ask my father his opinion when general elections come around. He is very anti socialist that is all I know. They all lie to get in and do their best to tax the hell out of us so I think Brands message about not voting carries a lot of weight. At least to me and many of my generation. We don't have a great deal of choice in the UK. You either vote for an Eton boy with absolutely no connection to the working class whatsoever, or a socialist intent on saying the right things for the workers, but taxing us all to high heaven.
You don't have to have a degree in politics or even vote to have an opinion on it. We are all free to have opinions after all. There's no tax on it yet..

It's sad to think that in the past and in some parts of the world people were prepared to go to prison and even to die to try to obtain the right to vote - and we who have that right dismiss it.

There are many problems with our political class and the system as a whole, but they will not be addressed via the undemocratic imposition of Russell Brand's notion of utopia. His not voting, incidentally, I see as the least of the problems with his remarks. I at present have no intention to vote at the next general election because I no longer have a party to vote for, although I have always exercised my right in the past. It doesn't disqualify one from holding opinions and expressing them. The problem with never voting yet calling for political change, as does Brand, is that it suggests him not to believe in democracy.
Finally, anthonyvop, you are quite right to use the term 'market yourself'. This is exactly what he was doing. He has a new stand-up tour starting and I doubt whether the interview would have taken place otherwise.
Here you go.
