russell brand - C or D?

So, shorter version EXCLUSIVE: 300 Sun readers find Russell Brand a hypocrite in ridiculous push poll?

two covers in a day!? i mean you'd think they'd have better things to do. he's clearly pissed *someone* off..

's clearly pissed *someone* off

he was prodding Murdoch on twitter about tax evasion

given the subjective nature of comedy, if 36% of 'the nation' finds you funny then you're probably doing a pretty good job of it.

For the sake of comparison, they need to run a similar poll on Michael Macintyre.

now he's a massive hypocrite

But will the readers think/vote so?

And, hey, let's roll it out to non-comedians!

David Cameron
Russell Kane
John Lydon
Aaron Spelling
Lolly
Eden Kane
Flat Eric
Nigel Farage

.. any votes as to who will come out as the most honest?

flat eric ftw

whither Lolly?

Lolly Loses a leg due to steam roller incident[edit]

I can notfind anything about this on the internet and I believe if it was true then there will be some sort of reference, I'll give it about 3 weeks for someone to find a reference for it, if there is non I'll take it off Jonni Boi 15:40, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

She's in panto. Her real name is Anna Kumble. I am not sure why I know either of these things.

playing Long John Silver

So Russell Brand's going on Question Time next week, alongside Farage. Should be worth a giggle.

Dapper laughs not even making the lidt #robbed

Tip for 2015- Dapper Laughs will be back, and into left wing politics. If I was his agent I'd totally be locking him in a room with a copy of '23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism' about now.

If Brand takes down Farage on Question time, will the Daily Mil explode like a car that has all gears working but can't go to neutral?

Two great minds meet, I can hardly wait. One good thing is that after appearing on Newsnight, Nick Griffin's popularity/ career/ life rapidly went down the toilet, one can only hope a similar fate awaits these two bawbags.

― everything,

Not sure what to make of him right now, or doing things like this. It seems like he's realizing certain things about the way things are, but doesnt yet have the ability to articulate it, especially quickly under fire, so i sort of think fair play to him putting himself in firing line before he's really ready, against people who are practiced at this shit

anyway, ive no idea if his popularity will go down after this....Joey Barton's didnt, and in some ways they're sort of similar (though obv very different also)

RB can only win a shitload more people over IMO; those who may never have seen the Trews, his comedy, heard him on the radio, read his stuff in the Graun etc. whereas Faragae is pretty much on home turf and he'll be reiterating all his usual stuff for all the nodding dogs. NF has been on about 17, 18 times so far already. RB has been on once.

people dont' realise, non of it matters, brits are conservative, especially old brits, doesn't matter how much attention Brand gets. It won't change votes of majority of country. Rememmber Clegg? All that huge swell of support, huge popularity, as ridiculous as it sounds now. Lib Dems ended up getting less votes than their previous election.

They got more votes and a higher proportion of the vote than 2005 but fewer seats.

Right, the only option we have is Milliband. Which is like an infinite amount better than the evil Cameron. People may like mock Miliband but he's not a nasty piece of shit like Cameron and his cronies so I don't get the debate here. No one is going to vote for Green Party.

Unless you actually want to tear up everything and start again, which as I said won't happen b/c brits are conservative in nature and has a long corporate and business first history which isn't changing, only becoming stronger. Most the country still enjoyes the presense of a fucking Royal Family for gods sake. All this political debate is a nonsense. Small fry. Trivial issues are encouaged with fervour, Bigger issues ignored. At least Brand looks at the bigger issues.

if 'brits are conservative' why haven't they won a majority since the year i turned 18 then? i'll be 41 at the next election.

pretty sure conservatives have swept the board in all those elections

Are you sure you're not 36 next year?

Xpost

Obv noodles' point also stands

?? They last won a majority in 1992, which will be 23 years ago come the next election.

i guess i went by them having the majority until losing it in 1997

this is way more interesting than anything to do with russell brand imo

John Major lost his majority in 1996.

^ possibly an unfruitful tangent but that's correct iirc, Major chose to temporarily fuck up Northern Ireland peace process in order to get ulster unionist votes to keep his obviously doomed government in power for another year.

Hmmm he just tweeted a Daily Mail senior reporter's business card (implication is that the mobile number on it is a personal one but idk)).

You can only win a majority at an election. You don't keep winning it every day until the next one.

No, but you *have* a majority until you don't got one. Useful for voting in changes you like and *they* don't.

in that sense if you already had a majority coming into an election, kept power, but lost some of the majority, have you still "won" the majority? I'd say no and Tory hasn't "won" any majority since 83 and piscesx is 49

i don't see how farage vs brand can ever live up to this.

*head explodes*

er anyway a lotta folk say RB's not well researched enough and suchlike and that's true often but he's getting better. this is great

Imagine how stupid The Sun has to be to take this on like this. They're so easy to just rip apart like this. They must be petrified by him.

That was too many like this, sorry for making you read that like this

Oh yeah, terrified. What planet are you from?

I am starting think Russell Brand is like the UK equivalent of Bill Maher - or at least, he seems to occupy a similar space on the socio-political spectrum

c+p from The Sun website (not)

Turns out that over long, annoyingly written, confused, and whiny open letter from an RBS employee was written by an ex uni pal I defriended on Facebook ages ago for posting annoying and confused political screeds.

ah so he wasn't just an RBS sock then?

No just some self confessed right winger with opinions 4 u.
