Russell Brand is a Bellend: More evidence.

[Mr_B]

I think this video of his adds proof to the thread title.

So satisfying watching knowing he is a total prat & just proved it once again!

[Thorodin]

Very much so, but sickmakingly irriating that such a non-entity acquires entity status by default. What on earth gives journalists and their bosses the idea that anybody even gives a damn what this bag of second hand wind thinks?

Another good piss-take of Brand in this production of Forgetting Ed Miliband.

Its just getting better for Brand.

Its been found that his screen printed and produced in the UK sweat shirts that he sells for upwards of £65 and everything goes to charitable causes have a few flaws. Despite on the website as being ‘ethical’ and works to the ‘highest environmental standards’.

1) They are made in Bangladesh.
2) The factory workers get 25p an hour which is about 25% of the living wage out there.
3) On the receipt it states £1.37 benefits charity, but they won't say where the rest goes.
4) Of those social enterprise projects that get donations, apparently most goes to his own cafe that he started and his own PR will not state where the rest goes and if other projects benefit.

Hypocrite much?

I was looking at these a while back. His website allows you to move a slider to choose how much you wish to pay (a minimum charge applies of course). Any profit then goes to the Russell Brand Foundation. I tweeted him to ask what they do, and why they are not listed by the Charity Commission. He didn't reply.

All I want to see now, is a link to Blatter and my world is complete.

It's always amused me that the people who walk around with Che Guevara's image are the middle class limo liberals that the real life Che would have put up against the wall

[Beati Dogu]

Che was a limousine liberal himself. He came, like many lefty revolutionary types including Castro, from a comfortable upper/middle class family. He was actually a qualified doctor.

Once Hippiedom adopts you for whatever politically charged drug-induced excuse, your sainthood is assured and the more inconvenient embarrassing events in your life are lost in the mists of time. Those juvenile bedroom walls become nurseries for new minds to be infiltrated.
