Russell Brand on Revolution

She took a picture. What the picture "means" cannot necessarily be determined without making assumptions about what she must have meant by it.

The key word being "necessarily". Given that many who did make assumptions about what she meant, did so through the context in which she made the tweet of the picture, and on her prior "form", one could argue that those assumptions were necessarily informed by that context, and therefore not the sweeping and erroneous assumptions you've been treating them as since Thornberrygate began.
 
I give you the reason for Brand or his fuck you all attitude and its popularity.

How come a thicko without a degree like me - and one who isn't in your bubble - can make a monkey of you year after year?

Because he thinks it matters, and you don't, so he'll always have the losers' hand, even when he's holding a winning one.
 
You seriously don't get why doing "#parklife but he's only got a couple of GCSEs" makes you look like a cunt?
#parklife ? I've agreed people with no formal quals can be erudite and intelligent. Doesn't justify media in painting Brand as height of eloquence.
 
I don't think so. Compared to previous generations of celebs even - eg. Morrissey - no quals but more articulate
 
There are loads of reasons to attack brand without putting lack of education into it. Just like attacking edl members for bad teeth etc. And you are a member of party that heloed to create this shit.
It was nothing to do with formal education, but about how he fails to live up to his self-image as erudite and suave.

That is part of why people like him, because he doesn't speak like someone thats used to this stuff. He talks like he's not used to it. It's also why liberals completely missed the point when they attacked bush's intelligence based on things he said
 
I don't think it's a liberal prejudice to think that Bush is profoundly stupid. I wouldn't say the same of Brand but I don't see that he justifies the degree of attention he's receiving.
