i think i was sitting opposite own jones on the northern line this morning. i'm not very good with faces though, so i refrained from punching his, just in case it wasn't him. later on it occured to me that i should have done it anyway, because the person in question probably could have done with a smack.

I watched his recent appearance on Jonathan Ross yesterday.
Fooking ell who looks like he's got his back to the wall and is trying to dig his way out already. This while having the audience scream as though he really is the messiah and having one of his best mates "interview" him.
Fuck knows what drugs he was on and how much he took but i reckon they fucked him up real chronic.
I reckon there is a serious case of narcissism mixed with paranoia going on there.

it does look a bit like he's back on the drugs. the missus showed me the trailer for revolution the movie and my cokedar was screaming. i'm not really an expert in anything but spotting people on drugs is one skill i have learned.
Why would you punch Jonesy?
Mark Steel lashes out at his critics.
"This week, by law, I have to deride Russell Brand as a self-obsessed, annoying idiot. No article or comment on Twitter can legally be written now unless it does this, so by the weekend the Sunday magazine recipes will go, “Goose and marmalade paella, serves six – unless one of the six is Russell Brand in which case he can make his own dinner as he’s such a rebel I suppose he doesn’t agree with ovens.”

We're obviously just part of the problem.

oh dear - Comrade Brand seems to be accelerating along the road to Crash and Burn.
I think hes a good jester - ive quite enjoyed his pisstaking of fox news and suchlike - and his booky wooky biography def has its moments - but political theorist/ revolutionary messiah might just be a little bit outside his skill set. And he needs to have a serious word with himself wrt sexism and suchlike.

Is there any evidence of his sexism?
That "glistening Russian sisters" quote doesn't cut it, because he is taking the piss out of the Ray-ban wearing, yacht-riding addressee.
Is there anything else? Hope not--I must say I liked his book a lot.

I thought that it was common knowledge that he ceased being sexist on 16-01-14. He tweeted to tell us.
Seriously though, was he ever sexist?
It's a genuine question. I know nothing of Brand bar his book, which I found excellent and entirely non-sexist.

So many particulars. So many questions.

Seriously. In his own words "Finally, through the love of good woman, teenage, sexist me was slain."
Make what you will of it.
Revolution. What else has he written?
DotCommunist
So many particulars. So many questions.
his autobio 'My Booky Wook' which I have read- not got round to Rev yet. Few years since I read the bio but I recall some raised eyebrow moments.
I'd say the same thing.
So has anyone got evidence of Brand being a sexist? Or is it just what everyone says about people they don't like these days?
Not the most promising title I've ever seen...

it was a christmas smash so shortly afterwards available in all good charity shops
Are you suggesting that "My booky wook" and "Booky wook 2" were ghostwritten?
You have got to be kidding.

OK, you say you were sexist; fair enough; no evidence needed. Brand says he was sexist...why don't you believe him?
Every man is sexist until they learn not to be.
The fact that Brand says he's learned not to be sexist strikes me as convincing prima facie evidence that he is not sexist.
Unless anyone has any evidence to the contrary?
brogdale
Coming to terms with late onset Anarchism
Yeah, but that's not what you asked, is it?
Answer you were given = yes.
Actually he goes up further in my estimation.
He could have just written "Booky Wook 3," as I'm sure his agents and advisors all urged him to. Instead he puts together a really good piece of work. Not epoch-making or anything, but perfectly sound, decent stuff that seems likely to influence his audience in a positive manner.
Dude, you really need to provide some evidence if you hope to convince people.
The statement you quoted isn't evidence, because it applies to every man.
Do you have any real evidence or not?

I don't, but I did. Dude.
