i wonder when you're going to be found and if you'll no longer be an addict, egotistical, hopeless, hapless or otherwise.yep, youre right about that! i think he has made up for it now though, he is trying hard to be a good man. He has changed. That's what is exciting about the whole Russell Brand 'story' - he was lost and now is found - the greatest cliche of words, imaginable, has happened to a once egotistical, hopeless and hapless addict. I find that refreshing. And he is a force for good. Another thing, you think the Rubberbandits would get mixed up with someone transparent? get to fuck!
i havent seen those posts, will have a look at them, maybe. Butchers probably made up his mind about Russell before he read the book though. I also doubt he would be moved or even convinced in any way. Butchers is like a paid critic
I think he can be a conspiraloon but should be generally regarded as a national treasure. He is, shall we say, 'evolving' in his politics but an exciting voice of today's disaffected. We desperately need people like him being mouthy as there aint no one in music bothered anymore (and i mean really bothered...)

You may say I'm a redeemer. But I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us. And the world will be as one.

My god, you're not even reading the thread never mind the book. Yes i've read it and i'm not all convinced that you have considering you've mentioned him talking about the rapist hoax call in the book when i don't remember it even appearing in it at all.
you dont know much about Russell Brand. I mean, no offence, but you seem very judgmental too, dismissive and ill informed.

if you say you're off then on your way.
i havent read all the thread butchers. You do it for us. What did you think of his section on his drug addiction and searching for the 'God' factor?

Starry Wisdom
oh - and despite all your knowledge of him you knew nothing of his prank call to the rape line. which makes me think you're lying about lessons from that sorry event being in his magnum opus.
you havent read the book and are just sat there bored. Dont slag something off till you know what yer on about

so see you later is cheesyspeak for i'll be around for some time to bandy words with you lot.
i dont read the Daily Mail. that was from 6 years ago enit. I got interested in what he has to say around 2009.

as i say in my post 1698 you knew nothing of the call to the rape line. nothing. nada. fuck all. so don't sit there you ignoramus and pontificate solely on the basis of the case for the defence.

the first 35 years of his life were of no interest to you.
I would have thought that after Maiden Square, most people who are politically minded would be concerned about getting in bed with conspiraloons and neo facists, particularly if you were espousing peaceful revolution.

He doesn't mention the god factor - he mentions the x factor numerous times though. You've not read it. As i suspected as soon as you said you have. You've read one of his other books and are trying to blag it.

Oh dearie, dearie me...
Have you actually read the thread you're commenting on? The stuff I'm referring to was in the quote from butchers in the post where I tagged you and which you responded to.
And you've got the front to berate people for not reading Brand's book, and to accuse butchers of having made up his mind before he read it - you are repeatedly refusing to address any substantive issue, and resorting to vacuous guff about "national treasure", both pretty indicative of someone who has utterly made up their mind and nothing no-one says is going to change it one little bit.
Brand is a bit of a tosser, IMO, but even he really doesn't deserve acolytes as idiotic and cringemaking as you

To be fair butchers I think she went and looked it up when it was mentioned on here. And dismissive and judgemental Cheesypoof? When it comes to egotistical celebrity conspiraloons yes I am. Also I haven't actually said that he is a charlatan etc, I suggest you go back and read what I have said because just a few pages ago I was saying that Michael moore books helped me get interested in politics. I am actually think of buying brands book for that reason, to see what is actually said in it.
