Shock news as odious man behaves line an odious man.
It’s just the one person who you expected there to be some grim stories about. It’s not like he’s pretended to be anything different
Got to say though he’s one of few comedians I’ve never found funny. Found him difficult to watch even back to his big brother days, just too much, too worked up and ott.
Clearly very intelligent but not funny
Can you imagine being so ****ed up that you see Russell Brand as 'The Gifted one' The only thing the mainstream media are guilty of is giving the **** air time and allowing him to carry out his Court Jester pseudo Intellectualism, and the sex pest stuff. Christ, Imagine thinking that Russell Brand speaks for you. That's beyond hope.
Who knew there was such a thing but just checked - https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Lispist
Apologies Jonny!
There is this one too - https://www.urbandictionary.com/defi...term=Gingerist
No smiley-ist yet!
Here's a more accurate list of people who he spoke for at the time he was allegedly raping and assaulting people etc.

What an odd way to look at the matter.
Brand is a grifter, he used the young, left leaners about eight years but ended up looking out of his depth when he started appearing on serious political shows and lately he’s been conning the gifted and talented set by pretending he’s just like one of them - I heard someone who got to know him pretty well in the late noughties describe Brand as a sociopath and psychopath last week, sounds about right to me.
I don't like either of them. I lost all respect for 'Hitch' when he went all imperialist and supported the invasion in Iraq. I can see why people like him though, especially his opinions on religion. He was a Trotskyist in his early days and a member of the International Socialists, as was pete boy :thumbup:
Cor! look at the Pseudo-intellectual battle at being the best of the worst.give it a break lads. you're out of your depth.
I agree Jimbo.
Oh look...

Well I fuucking never.
Walliams next.
Whataboutism? That article couldn't be more relevant! Unless you meant to post that to Jordi Cule who decided to post something about Jimmy Savile instead..?
Sorry, isn't the thread about how he got away the alleged crimes?
And aren't people talking about who he spoke to and for?
Sounds like an article from the the peak of his fame and around the time he was committing alleged crimes, seems pretty relevent, no?
Or do we overlook it? Maybe the fact he was courted by parts of the media and potential future prime ministers is part of the reason people didn't come forward?
I thought it was pretty similar in relation it illustrates how politicians can build relationships with those in showbiz.

Savile played a role in helping Thatchers government, Milliband spoke to Brand. What’s the biggest mistake?
In relation to who Brand was speaking for, although he espoused opposition to austerity policies I’m pretty sure when he ended upon QuestionTime or perhaps Newsnight he suggested to people not to vote. His appearance on some political programmes basically showed he didn’t have a lot of depth to his outlandish, verbose drivel.
I’d imagine most at the time saw Brand as speaking for himself as even the most stupid can see he’s a attention seeking, narcissistic waanksplat. Not Milliband obviously mind:biggrin:
I wonder what Thatcher saw in Savile? This is whataboutism?:biggrin:
I'm really not sure why you are so interested in Jimmy Savile, but I think he was famously apolitical, I'm not sure he was protected or promoted or helped to hide his crimes through politics..the media perhaps, where he was a very powerful figure
But Brand was very political and he was courted and may have made people coming forward more difficult?
Here he is as a 'hero of 2014'

All this stuff is alleged and it's critical to remember that, but it's worth looking back to the period in question in my opinion, as we all now are led to believe that there were open secrets
