Russell Brand wants a political revolution

This video sums up the way I feel about the current political system which is not fit for purpose.

An underclass has been created,poverty stricken people who the Government do not care about and have no intention of trying to help,indeed they want the division between the poor and the rich to exist in this way.They want an Orwellian system where the common man has no control,no rights,and is entirely dependent on the Elite.

I am hoping people wouldn't mind taking the time to watch the Jeremy Paxman interview with Russell Brand and give their thoughts.

In it he describes how destructive the current system is and how it does not look after the vulnerable in society,

I agree and honestly would dearly love an overhaul of the entire political system.I know that's unlikely to happen and sadly the rebellion the voters are choosing to take to spite the current system is to vote UKIP which I feel is a very big mistake. UKIP are dishonest and they are the same as all of the rest of the parties in not caring about the poor and vulnerable,indeed UKIP want to cut tax for the rich.

Would be interested to hear the thoughts of other forum members on the content of the video

There is too much interest in this thread topic

I cannot COPE with it all   

Way to go Russell! He even looks like Citizen Smith.   

I do like Russell Brand. He is a great example of how you overcome addiction and get back to enjoying life.
I really hope he goes into politics along with Eddie Izzard and Stephen Fry

So do I,I love Russell although alot of people hate him.Stephen Fry is a wonderful man.

I think he's correct in his assessment of the current political system too,its good to see people think outside the box.

 

Russell might want a revolution...

What he actually needs is a brain transplant..     

AND, a sense of humour wouldn't go astray, either !

I have tried to dislike him and did in his drug taking days. I think he is intelligent and compassionate and funny
maybe too honest for politics though.

Brand is A cvnt.


Waffling the usual leftie bollocks while sitting on a fortune.




what he forgets is that we have a social security system which looks after the poorest and most vulnerable in society, and an NHS.

There it is again that undefined ambiguous free for all leftwing PC word - vulnerable

What it means is lazy scrounging leftwing scum

No, it means the elderly, those with special needs or chronic illness, the disabled and the mentally ill

Good afternoon Folks.

I think most of us would like to see a change to the present UK political system & be rid of the Metropolitan elite.However,Russel Brand belongs to that lot.

He's wealthy,does & says what he likes & is as ignorant as pig shit....Just like the politicians he's slagging off.

A change would be wonderful but Brand is not the person the spark it off.

The underclass to which he refers grew extremely well under Gordon. Labour love the underclass a whole trenche of people beholden to the state. As far as I am aware Brand is left wing therefore a supporter of those who grew the underclass.

That said even if he were right wing I simply don't like the man. He is creepy God only knows why women fancy him.

I am sure he gives money to charity,he can't help being rich  .He also does alot to help those who are affected by drug abuse.

The social security system in place is failing people and the NHS is a shambles.
