Thank you for that link - have just reposted elsewhere. As I said in my earlier post I hadn't made up my mind about Russell Brand, so this helps. I like very much that he is giving these young people a chance to be heard and appears to be listening without patronising them. How can London councils leave perfectly habitable flats empty while telling people who have lived there all their lives to move up north. I was once like them, homeless with a young child to care for - fortunately my parents took us in so I wasn't on the streets. Eventually I was given a council house which I will always be grateful for.
Somebody whose opinion I usually value today said Russell Brand is not a force for good ... is there anybody out there in public life who is a force for good. We have the Green Party on the margins is all. If the SNP spread south of the border they would have my vote - but sadly that can't happen.
