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?


To be completely honest - yes I did. There is so very much wrong with so called civilized society I think a lot of the time we edit things out or glance quickly at fast moving links on the internet and move on. Russell Brand spent 8 minutes talking about Christian values (no, I'm not suddenly going to get religion). How many people do that these days when Christian values equates with middle-England conservatism for most of us. According to Russell Brand they mean caring for each other, looking after each other, feeding the hungry. OK, he's a hypocrite - perhaps he steps over homeless people when he's out and about, I have no way of knowing. I was just saying I liked what he said and I liked the way he said it.


I was pleasantly surprised to find out that he donated a lot of money to good causes eg. Amnesty. PETA, Hillsborough, and intends to do more re. homelessness etc:

Of course he'll be accused of doing it cynically for publicity. Damned if you, damned if you don't etc.
