Yeh it's just a big coincidence you're making the same smears as these bloggers. I like a lot of right-wingers. Sour right-wing bores, not so much.

You're not discussing his book, but just rehashing in a limp/sour way the latest dull attack lines from right-wing bloggers. If you ever have an original thought, I'd meet it and shake its hand.

Yawn. Carry on reaching if it cheers you up a bit

Reasonably early on #84 - but yeh the rest of the thread is for the purists :drink:

Because they can't discuss his actual ideas, as people support those. So making up stuff about him has to be the way to go :)

The other popular distraction tactic is inputing ideas to Brand that he's never said or argued for. But if anyone would care to read his book, he deals with all this flak in a fairly entertaining way, and I say this as someone who has never particularly rated him as a comedian. You will also...

There isn't an answer to this, the strategy is just to attempt to tap a well of sour pettiness within us, which of course we all have to some degree, depending how much we've been disappointed in life.

Missing the point - he's not encouraging people not to vote, he's saying there is no one worth voting for that would make any difference to ordinary people's lives. I don't necessarily agree with that but at the same time he's highlighting well the pathetic choice we are given each election.

The support he gave the Focus E15 campaigners in particular impressed me - these are young working class people fighting a rotten Labour council.

I've just finished reading the first chapter of Brand's book and it's brilliant stuff. He's a transformed guy for sure, wouldn't have given him the time of day as little as a couple of years ago. https://shamocracy.org/2014/12/08/hatred-russell-brand-irrelevant/

Tedious stuff - the only missing irony was accusing Brand of being long-winded, but perhaps the RBS PR team got that on the last edit
