No you fucking don't. QPR have established community links and more initiative to help the local community in stuff like mental illness, homelessness and disability than most of the teams in England.

And what does that actually have to do with anything that anyone's talking about?

Err...Community perhaps?

So a multi million pound spends money on things it can easily afford? Big fucking deal! How about a big, even more worthy, cheer for all those people who've got no money whatsoever managing to stay alive and still give and host events for good causes?

Are you even following this thread? You were just on about a bloody football team now you're on about something else completely irrelevant!

I don't believe him at all, I don't believe his sincerity in this. All I see is someone who's not getting bookings like he used to so decided to jump on a bandwagon and talk complete shit about things he's just not got a clue about (from what I've seen, which is too much for my liking). He's not coherent in any discussions at all because basically he's picked up someone's ideas, thought he likes the sound of that and used it without looking doing any actual research. Sorry if people actually thinks he gives a shit about anyone but himself I think they're all going to be sadly mistaken, he's too self absorbed to have any credibility

Pan of the people? Fuck off!
You've clearly only been exposed to a second-hand Chinese Whisper of the real person. He may only have a dilettantish knowledge of the people whose name he drops, but the bloke definitely cares, and not so he can act like a Pied Pauper whilst raking in all the cash. The profits from his new book, for example, are being put towards a cafe run by the homeless. I do think if you heard, say, some of his Trews eps on Palestine, or the Demonising of the Muslim population, you'd find yourself thinking, "This dude is bang-on!" in spite of yourself. I don't expect you to become a Brand expert for the sake of an argument. but you might be surprised once you've turned the 2D media image into 3D.

Sorry but I don't think he has at all, all I see is people willing to give him that accolade because "ooh, it's Russell Brand" Ok that doesn't mean a thing at the end of the day, but if I want to get the story on what's happening in the world I'll go to the actual sources and not spoon fed some half witted opinion of a media luvvie!

He's a divisive figure, but in my opinion from what I've read/seen/heard he's genuine. He's fucking loaded so I don't believe it's about self publicity at all. He could easily just keep taking the Celeb/Chat Show/Hollywood shilling without any of this at all. That's what the majority of them do, after all. I think it's refreshing to see someone use their high profile status like this. It's something that should be used. Those of the old guard that still do won't be around for much longer. Good on him, I say.
