Paxo v Brand starts in 5 minutes

[Favelado]

Fucking ludicrous.

 

[butchersapron]

Why she make him have wonky eyes?

 

[TruXta]

Why she make him have wonky eyes?

Maybe he sees what we can not?

 

[butchersapron]

Yes, i need to investigate the symbolism further.

Paxman letting his hair down. God, I fucking hate the BBC.

 

[treelover]

I'll just leave this here:

Looks like a young Fagin...

 

[butchersapron]

Joe Fagin? I think you're right:

 

[killer b]

for some reason the pic of brand at the demo brought to mind mick jagger's attendance at the grosvenor square riot (it's the hair i guess) and i found this article about his & lennon's political interventions - loads of things that sound familiar - vague non-politics, open letters in radical magazines, radical socialists creaming themselves over the pronouncements of a multi-millionaire celeb... i especially liked this bit:

While that may seem a ludicrous proposition today, in 1968 there was a feeling on the far left and in the media that the Stones, thanks in part to Jagger's appearance at Grosvenor Square and songs such as "Street Fighting Man" and "Sympathy", were at the vanguard of the struggle against an archaic political system

totally ludicrous, yes...

Another piece by Russell Brand just this afternoon:

When I first got a few quid it was like an anaesthetic that made me forget what was important but now I've woken up. I can't deny that I've done a lot of daft things while I was under the capitalist fugue, some silly telly, soppy scandals, movies better left unmade. I've also become rich. I don't hate rich people; Che Guevara was a rich person. I don't hate anyone, I judge no one, that's not my job, I'm a comedian and my job is to say whatever I like to whoever I want if I'm prepared to take the consequences. Well I am.

Imo,. that is really good, he seems to be growing up.

 

[butchersapron]

What by saying he is not under the discipline of a wider movement and can actually do what he wants when he wants because he's rich?

 

[cesare]

Wearing a fucking V mask, ffs

 

[DotCommunist]

Wearing a fucking V mask, ffs

[weepiper]

Mark of a cunt.

 

[killer b]

maybe next year anonymous will team up with movember and everyone can grow stupid V beard / tasche combos for cancer & revolution?

 

[cesare]

Mark of a cunt.

Yep. Nothing quite signals Occupy/Icke/Assange/Anon as clearly.

 

[weltweit]

Well Brand certainly seems to have affected Paxman.
Apparently Paxman wrote about him in the newspapers today.

Apparently Russel brand was on his show or something that people have been talking about already that i couldn't be bothered to read.

 

[RedDragon]

Wearing a fucking V mask, ffs

No doubt checking his social media coverage too.

 

[chasbo zelena]

If Brand becomes the new Jesus, it should at least make a few Christians take pause for thought.

 

[Barking_Mad]

I think we should stick a pair of big ears and a tail on Brand and kick him up the arse, repeatedly, in public. That way we can be sure the next person who dares to point at the elephant in the corner of the room is someone of a better calibre. I'm very sympathetic to his general point, but like so many others on here I'm more interested in his personality. After all we have high standards to maintain and we can't move on to bigger issues when we have a man with a dubious background and who wears a V mask to take the piss out of. No, the 'revolution' has to wait for someone of better character to come along. Personally I'm waiting for Christ to make a reappearance, but he'll only gets my support if he ditches the whole 'God' thing.

I'm just going to let Emily Pankhurst turn in her grave one more time before I answer this.

You're answering an answer with a question?

Yes, that way your next messiah will stand a better chance. Think about what you've just posted ffs.

 

[FridgeMagnet]

I posted more on the thread in Protest, but I was actually pretty encouraged by what was going on in Parliament Square this evening, despite the presence of assorted media wankers.

There's always a danger of posts being read the wrong way. I think that just happened.

No. My post wasn't serious. Anyway, as you were
