Russell Brand on Revolution

[articul8]

and you, why do you aim to come across as patronising and ignorant?

I could never meet the standard you set in that respect

 

[frogwoman]

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.

I mean the whole 'omg he said nucular/misunderestimate etc' thing

Guy went to harvard AFAIK.

 

[ItWillNeverWork]

Here he is on Brands video thing the trews only two months ago.

Is that the same scouse that was doing all those freeman-of-the-land videos a year or two back?

no, you far exceed what any of the rest of us could dare to dream of

 

[articul8]

no, you far exceed what any of the rest of us could dare to dream of

You underestimate your own excellence

 

[Pickman's model]

You underestimate your own excellence

fuck off you dull, patronising wanker.

Pops in to see how the Revolution is going. Pops out again.

Only a few months to go until Labour saunters to victory and this beef really takes off.

I'm more interested in the way in which the people in the so-called People's Assembly and 999 Save The NHS With Burnham react to more of the same from the 'Labour' party

How acceptable is zero GCSEs?

That's me. Really thick, obvs.

 

[ViolentPanda]

Is that a threat?

I rather suspect that it's a statement of the state of your credibility (such as it was) on these boards.

 

[ViolentPanda]

That's me. Really thick, obvs.

Me too. I should have been shot by the education authority once it became obvious that I would never amount to nothing. I will never become someone bubbletastic like what articul8 is.
Okay, so I thank all the unknowable deities of the universe EVERY FUCKING DAY that I haven't amounted to what articul8 has, but that's beside the point!

 

[ViolentPanda]

Emperors mates rate his new clobber

"Clobber"? I'm surprised you didn't go the full Mockney and say "schmutter".

 

[ViolentPanda]

#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.

Which is why it's good that they don't.
In fact, the sections of the media most opposed to him do the exact opposite - they imply that his wordiness isn't derived from knowledge, but from his innate pretentiousness.
Now, who else on this thread has described brand's wordiness as "pretentious", hmm?

 

[ViolentPanda]

Wow.

Off now.

Enjoy!

 

[ViolentPanda]

fuck you're stupid. this has been your unfinest hour.

Nah.
Just one among many, or have you forgotten the Deborah Orr debacle?

 

[ViolentPanda]

You seriously don't get why doing "#parklife but he's only got a couple of GCSEs" makes you look like a cunt?

And not just any kind of cunt, a condescending one.

 

[J Ed]

Now, who else on this thread has described brand's wordiness as "pretentious", hmm?

Me but I have no real problem with Brand's speaking, I don't understand the problem anyone has with that. His writing is just pretentious and bad, there is a strong possibility that it's ghost written by the plagiariser though

Here's saint russell on the incident where he smashed a prostitutes phone:

"She went back into the bathroom and started getting dressed and came out wearing her underwear, and I thought, “Bloody hell she looks nice. I wonder if there’s anything I could say to . . .”
But there isn’t. As we picked up the bits of her phone, this atmosphere of faint possibility dissipated all too quickly, and by the time we were going downstairs I was thinking, “This is not looking good—I’m going to have to walk past reception in a minute, five paces behind a crying prostitute.”"

The whole thing is played for laughs.

 

[frogwoman]

Nice guy huh?

 

[Pickman's model]

Nice guy huh?

but he does bring pizza to occupy people in parliament sq[/cheesypoof]

It's embarrassing.

 

[Pickman's model]

It's embarrassing.

he's a sexist pig with some very dodgy views and a poor taste in friends. not the sort of person with a great interest in changing society for the better.

They said that about Hitler.

In fairness how many pig ignorant bastards on both sides of The HoCs went to Oxbridge?

Has Milliband resigned??

That's true. I think you know what I am talking about - the whole OMG HE SAID MISUNDERESTIMATE lol

But he has changed, he has seen the light, lessons have been learned, and when he goes public and denounces JR as an absolute misogynistic git, I will become a convert and subscribe to the trews
His flirtation with fascism and anti semitism can be tucked under the carpet, youthful ignorance etc etc.
