I went to see his stand up show off the strength of his Ponderland series and he stormed off before the end of his (not funny and very political) set because he got heckled a few times.
What was Ponderland?

No one missed it mate.

Incidentally, the tax dodging tenant evicting investors who wished to buy the New Era estate pulled out. Brand Brand wins. Haven't seen much about that round here.

Even more incidentally, a search via the search function of three of the broadsheets using the term 'New Era' is revealing when it comes to press bias. Try it yourself.

We've never met. You're not my "mate".

I think it is excellent that a charity has managed to buy the New Era estate, and I am also trying to promote good quality, good value housing for low wage working families as part of my job, so it is a subject close to my heart.

The fact remains that he's a tt of the highest order.

Pissing into the wind as I may be, that letter's been reasonably effectively dissected here: http://anotherangryvoice.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/ru...

The idea that rich Brand complaining is hypocrisy but poor Brand complaining would be 'politics of envy' made me think of here smile

Events described in that blog don't match what happened in the video footage though do they?

Your're right. Every time I go to a meeting I take a film crew, a megaphone,and I don't bother arranging the actual meeting.

Would you be happy with his posture, his behaviour?

You're kidding? You're really citing that as being aggressive?

Who instigated the conversation?

The suggestion that guy makes, that he was being bullied by Brand is ridiculous. By all means dislike him, disagree with his views or whatever, but don't try and use the event to big up your blog and achieve some exposure off the back of it.

As you well know, you have just breached the restraining order...why can't you just accept that I don't love you any more?
