The Brand wagon is still rolling strongly, promoting his book and revolution.
Apparently the BBC still think he has important things to say and that he ‘has the ear of the youth’…the worthy Giles Fraser not being the audience winner they had obviously hoped for….I’m sure yesterday’s Radio One’s Breakfast show audience were thrilled to once again have Brand shoved down their throats….never mind R1’s audience apparently being an average age of 32…
Back in 2008 Allison Pearson in the Mail declared……
The age of the over-sexed, overpaid moron should be declared over.
As someone who treasures the BBC and the great contribution it can make to the life of our country, I hope it turns out to be on the side of Us not Them.
I imagine she feels somewhat disappointed 6 years on that the BBC is very definitely on Their side.
You have to laugh…..the multi-millionaire Brand is worried that anti-Austerity protests will make him late for his trip to the theatre….but you know what….he’s there with ’em on the barricades…….in spirit…..
Russell Brand has said he can see why “there is so much frustration” among protesters who took part in an anti-austerity march in London.
“Brand told Nick Grimshaw on Radio 1’s Breakfast show he was worried the march might make him late for a West End show, which he later attended”
Beyond parody
Altogether now, ‘THERE’S NO BUSINESS LIKE SHOWBUSINESS’. It says everything about the BBC that not one person thought to question Brand’s commitment to the cause for going to a protest, but leaving early to go to the theatre. Does anyone know if England hating Vivienne Westwood managed to stay to the end, or did she have to get back to her coffin before sun up?
“Brand told Nick Grimshaw on Radio 1’s Breakfast show he was worried the march might make him late for a West End show, which he later attended”
If only Mr. G has paused a moment and then said ‘Parklife!’.
Pondlife is a far better description of Bland, he has the mental capacity of an amoeba but is far less interesting.
Could brand Brand be the creative output of this chap.

This is why the beeboids will fight to the end for the tax. It is their meal ticket. Who else would employ them at these inflated rates? There is now no case to be made for the continuation of the BBC as a tax funded outfit.
How true. Last Thursday, I accidentally tuned into R5L’s phone-in continuation of Question Time. For some reason there are two hosts. A lorry driver was explaining wage compression to these BBC morons and one of them opined that was how a free-market worked. If a harder working, better trained immigrant willing to work for less takes your job, that’s the way it is. Pity they do not apply the same free-market principles to themselves. The Dimblebies have hung about the BBC like stale farts for decades. Are they so uniquely talented that no one can be found to replace them for a tenth of the cost.
did you watch question time last night from middlesboro,the most left wing biased bbc audience full of students drop outs and assorted left wing layabouts i have ever heard,the panel except from melanie philips was not much better,did you hear the shouts and screams of anger from the left wing loonieswhen the topic of ukip and immigration came up.it was frightening the hostility shown towards melanie philips and members of the audience who defended ukips stance on immigration,of course the old has been liberal drunk charles kennedy pronounced how fantastic mass immigration is and how it has enriched us all,not much mass immigration going on up there in the scottish highlands where you live charlie boy i notice.question time last night was sickening,yes,david dimbleby said at the end of the programme if you want to be a member of the question time audience apply at the question time website,no doubt if you support ukip or the conservative you wont get a invite,i have always said the socalist workers party and the lefties target question time every week to pack out there audience,last night episode proves that beyond doubt to me.
“the most left wing biased bbc audience full of students drop outs and assorted left wing layabouts i have ever heard”
That takes some doing! Did it really beat the previous record when the BBC were forced to apologise to the US ambassador when they stuffed the audience so full of lefties, that they did what lefties always do become hugely vocal, then threatening, before lapsing into physical violence.
The people viewing were so appalled that the BBC was forced to apologise for its obvious bias, but of course the lesson they learned was not to go quite so over the top again.

Dimbleby would probably like all UKIp supporters to have a mark on their foreheads so that he could identify and hold them up to abuse and ridicule. It is truly long past it’s closing down date. Get rid.
Well, have a look at the BBC website and the application form to be in the QT audience……talk about loaded questions…….no wonder so many leftist filth get on there…to give balance, you would have to lie on the form, not good.
Amazing. The only way to get on if you are not a leftie is to lie. What a stupid bunch the BBC are. Incapable of evenhandedness and incapable of common sense.
This could be an excellent case for a FOIA request. The form requires you reveal which political party you support. It would be interesting to see the actual audience balance on the basis of this data for accepted participants.
(I have just learned this has been tried before and dodged by the beeb…)
I understand that someone on the panel asked the Clacton QT (Quisling Time in our house) audience to raise their collective hands if they were UKIP supporters. Dimbleby immediately said there was no need for that. And it didn’t happen.
This happened around the time of Carswell’s massive UKIP victory in Clacton. I wonder what made Richard’ Dimbleby’s job for life son so quick to shut down the hand count?
Loaded audience that didn’t represent Clacton’s make up maybe?
“never mind R1’s audience apparently being an average age of 32…”
Christ, our nation is doomed, I thought the music on radio 1 was aimed at 12 year olds.
I bet Radio 2 has a younger audience, though.
Remember the B-BBC paid Jon Ross £6m per year – because “he has the attention of the youf”. Ross got fired, no effect on B-BBC viewers / listnership. As we knew there wouldn’t be!
Robert Brown
The questionnaire asks which way the applicant voted at the last election, but I notice that audience members are never asked that on QT itself.
The BBC also retains your details for 4 years. Why ?
I’m sure this whinging, 39 year old adolescent will appear on Question Time again in the next month or two.
If Brand is on radio, at least we don’t have to look at, what appears to me, a sweaty, unwashed body. Surely the moron must suffer from awful body odour.
