It is about self publicity, he couldn't have kept on doing the chat show things as he wasn't doing anything to get the gigs, so here we are!
Sorry but I'm not convinced by him at all, I think for the causes he claims to be supporting he'll end up doing more harm than good because of his lack of actual credibility within the subjects at hand.
I'm even less convinced by him when I see him annoyingly interupting other people's interviews with crap. Where was he watching the football from also? The directors box? You can guarantee he wasn't on the stalls. Interesting how he still uses his position to gain privilege.
As far as I'm concerned he's a fraud, always was always will be.

Very following. My point was that football teams are corporate, but sometimes they give something back to the community, like food and some kind of help. Not irrelevent at all. Infact, Brand helped a youth football team in London to help keep them out of trouble. Now, that is real action.

Is it bollocks! Football teams are multi million companies! These so called good causes are a great way to avoid paying tax, so sorry I'm not going to give someone a pat on the back for not paaying their way into the country's economy! That money that they didn't pay into the economy is money taken from the poor around the country, into education, healthcare and care for the elderly and vulnerable people!
That's not action that's a scam!

Really? When I was a youth I played football every day. It kept me healthy. For youngsters these days, having good free places to play is a good idea, brings a sense of community provided, and gets kids away from their fucking XBox.

I agree there, but that's nothing to do with a football team is it? That's to do with local councils providing the areas, of which there's still plenty. Football teams to dot supply pitches throughout the country, that's the tax payer.

I beg to differ. This proposal is just over the road from me. I think it's a great idea.

You're looking at one instance, I'm looking at the country as a whole and the 99.9% of public amenities paid for by the taxpayer

This is the point that you lose me. I couldn't give a fuck about football. I'm not interested. I have my opinion. You have yours. As it should be.
