He's got some sort of script there as he's reading from something. It would probably benefit from being more script based really, quantity isn't necessarily a good thing and there's a lot of things he's not understanding as he's putting these out so often that the points he's trying to make are missed completely because there's only half an argument. I can't remember if he actually got around to talking about why and how these groups started, don't think he did, but the bits he did pick up on seemed to be very misguided. Disagreed on a couple of points, had to go and have a wash after agreeing with cameron on something, which was an absolute shame that brand didn't pick up and comment on that. He could have saved 13 minutes of film there by the one point that Islam and fundamentalists are different. Sadly he chose to try and be funny and failed completely on actually being funny and getting his point across.
I've seen a couple of interviews with him and really do find him irritating as he's essentially just bleating on about the same thing over and over, which really tells me that he's not really as clued up as he wants people to think. Also with a catchy title for his videos I'm wondering just how many people are drawing his conclusions for him, as based on that one he didn't really have any that I saw, just repeating himself with the Cameron=Evil rhetoric which I've heard so many times before.
Cameron is evil yes, but that's a whole other topic :)

Ahem! That's TWICE you've called me that now! Now like I say if you've got nothing to add, which is getting even more abundantly clear go away and let the adults talk
I just come from the Derek & Clive vernacular. Quite simple really you know! I doubt that you have read One Three One.

Just watched the video embedded in this link. Am definitely warming to Russell Brand.

I can honestly say nothing will warm me to brand. Tragic story though, shame I just see him as cashing in on it like he does everything else.
Sorry, agree/disagree hate the bloke. Complete hypocrite.

Maybe he is a hypocrite. He is quite easy to hate too - being mega rich. Perhaps he should be seen to be putting his money where his mouth is when it comes to homelessness and hunger.
The real story here was about the 90 year old man who was arrested for providing food to homeless people in an American city and may face prison for his efforts. How very immoral is that.

Very true, I read the story on the news when it came out. Certainly does highlight that there's something seriously wrong with the world. But did you really need brand to tell you that?
