    Lightbulb Russell Brand vs Jeremy Paxman



    What can you say about this? Do you think that he is right or he even has a point? Do you think we need a revolution?

    He says things so passionately and I know some people don't take him seriously.

    Let's see what you have to say!

    Here's my view:

    Russell has his own [peculiar] "brand" of *humour. Whereas ...

    ... Paxman has NONE!

    ... it's that simple.

    Not a fan of the man but must confess that some of what he says makes sense.
    We have no choice these days and perhaps we need a revolution.

    Easy for the likes of obnoxious multi millionaire Brand to start calling for a revolution..no doubt his equally rich socialist mate Billy Bragg (that's if he can pull himself away from his Devonshire country pile) would jump on the bandwagon

    Folks here with short memories ....You Brand lovers have all forgotten what Brand and his sidekick wossy did to an old age pensioner ...Scumbags the pair of them

    On the other hand you have the multi millionaire Bullingdon Boys who are sending the country into poverty.

    Good point Gwap - as usual the stinking cloud of hypocrisy hangs over these champagne socialists - Is Morrissey a pal of theirs ?

    Firstly I can't see anyone who loves Brand. The suggestion that British Politics needs a shake up is in my opinion good. I'm sick of being governed by university graduates who have never had to do a job. They all speak the same language regardless of party.
    Billy Bragg on the other hand I do like. I like him because he's my idea of a patriot. See the sort of millionaires you look up to like Daily Mail owner Viscount Harmsworth who spend there entire life avoiding paying any taxes to the country they love so much. They support the Conservatives, they love their Country and yet they don't want to pay any tax on their vast earnings which is mostly earned here.
    You give the opinion that it's some sort of sin to be a socialist and a millionaire, but answer me this. Who loves their country more the man living in his pile in Dorset paying his taxes or the Billionaire media magnet who enjoys Non Dom status in order to pay all .
    I don't have a short memory and I remember Billy Bragg standing up to the last labour government and threatening to withhold his tax payments if the Chancellor didn't veto the bonus payments to RBS. Unfortunately a lot of Tory millionaires can't do this because they don't have any tax payments to withhold
    Did you also know that the SOCIALIST Billy Bragg voted Liberal at the last election which gives you some idea of what real socialists think of New Labour.

    Hardly into poverty Andy. ..The country, thanks to Conservative policy are on the up. ...For the 3rd quarter in a row GDP is up from the previous. .

    I'm not running down either party here but really.....If anyone thinks it's going to be so much better in the short term and so different this time around thanks to current policies then borrow some money and buy into it...

    BTW, one of my all time favourite movies is Groundhog Day....

    If we're not careful the same 'investors' that got us here will do it all over again in 2014...

    Probably just increased publicity....and an increased resistance to parting with the 20 a day habit, the Pitbull Terriers, the 50" TV and the satellite dish.

    Most of these jokers have no idea about REAL poverty.

    I'll say it again, food banks ?

    Some of those queuing up for their freebies just make me sick. Most are 'hungry' because they are lazy idle losers, junkies, crooks, once again sucking off whatever tit is held out to them.

    Yes, there ARE deserving hungry people in this world, but here in the UK ?

    Well, I'm ashamed to say I left school at 15 without any qualifications. ...I took up paint spraying. ..I got qualified for that but then gave it up to earn more money as a long distance truck driver. ..I've looked back at broken relationships and marriages ever since

    With the help of long periods away from home and of course the newspapers mail and the telegraph with the odd porno thrown in for variation , I've learnt much about our green and pleasant land

    IMHO by enlarge people that are in that condition here have mostly done it to themselves. If the foreigners with no skills, no place to live and no English can get by here then I don't see why a native cant do that too! But of course that's only my opinion.
