He could make his own money out of chocolate. That would go down well, already firms that do that so should be easy to set up. So, fake pirate doubloons for the small tender and use After Eight mints for the high currency.

[The Don of Croy]

His own currency?

How does that idea compare with those 'progressive' communities that established their own 'pounds' a while back (search for Lewes Pound etc). Don't hear much about them these days. Wonder why?

[Mark Benson]

So many possibilities;

Twitcoin, ttcoin, Titcoin......

[LucreLout]

I usually like fake tits, but in Brands case I'll make an exception.

What concerned me most was the link to an article: "Russell Brand voted the world's fourth most important thinker".

We. Are. fked.

Bring on the AIs.

Quote in the Standard from someone said;

"If Russell Brand has been voted a top 10 thinker, there's still hope that Jeremy Clarkson will win the Nobel Peace Prize."

They've certainly faded from the news post-Financial Crisis, but the likes of the Brixton Pound and Bristol Pound seem to be ticking along reasonably well. Once the launch fanfare is over, you don't really have any need to know about them unless you're in their catchment area. I'm all for them as an idea, Brand or otherwise. I don't see why people get so sniffy about them?

Have you considered it's just bad spell checking as it makes sense if our substitute the words impotent and wker.

Well I suppose it should be 'Russell Brand v Brian May'.

RB: "Did you put Freddy Mercury under this kind of f—ing pressure?"

What an abrasive vile pr1ck - RB responding to a perfectly valid question from the esteemed guitarist!

The full conversation for anyone interested, not that abrasive or rude - just Brand doing what Brand does. Brian May could equally be described in the same terms as Brand when it comes to his core ideals and he would probably give votes to badgers.

BM: I have a campaign called Common Decency which is about trying to change the system radically from within. I’m proposing that we form a strategy on May 7th and I think my strategy is so good that I’m even going to persuade you to vote but we shall see. My question is: If you really don’t want to vote and you don’t want us to vote, what do you want us to do to achieve the things that we know we need to do because we just watched your film. What do you want us to do?

Alas, Brand seemed rather taken aback by the straightforward question:

RB: Did you put Freddy Mercury under this kind of f—ing pressure? It’s a long term strategy of the re-centralisation of the power under the co-ordination of vital institutions and vital services fully autonomous collectives that collaborate to preserve the rights of the individual and the rights to pursue spiritually whatever direction we want to with the prioritisation of the ecological preservation of the planet. It’s going to take a while for it to get on the ballot box but I don’t know if that is necessarily the right way to go about it but I support you, what I support most of all is people becoming fully activated and I’d be very, very happy to talk to you and Anita Dobson in your caravan.

Perhaps as confused as Mr S by Brand’s answer, May pushed on:

BM: But what do we do Russell?

RB: I mean, look, you know me, help me out. In that film that we grafted over there are loads and loads of ideas. You’re saying how do we get that sh-t to happen. I mean don’t make me say something mad on the telly. I believe in creating different relationships with powerful institutions which operate on behalf of the powerful, bringing them on to our side. I don’t agree with remaining within the parameters that have been set for us. I don’t believe in that in any level, I believe in real change. Like if an election is us the people we can have one whenever we f—ing want, we can do whatever we like. I have some ideas, I have some strategies but I also have really serious limitations. I’m here to amplify the issues for the people in this room to help people in anyway I can.

He's "raising awareness"

Or "self-publicity" as it used to be termed.

Raising awareness of Russell Bland.

So he wants an ideal world full of happiness and huggle bunnies, but hasn't got a fking scooby how he's going to achieve it.

Basically Russell, you're me aged 10 but with a better vocabulary.

Better vocabulary?
