I like him, think he sounds like a very genuine man, not up his own arse like a lot of celebs. Not unpleasant on the eye either, something very dirty looking about him

I used to despise him, but recently I have found him to be very interesting. He has fantastic views on the political system and the corporacy of a society that we live in. Helping people to learn to question to the bullshit the media shoves down people's throats |

"Like him? Hate him? Couldn't care less?
He's definitely making some valid points at the minute.
Discuss ..."
He's an intelligent and insightful fellow with an interesting and refreshing view on politics.

I normally like him as his positions on most subjects that he speaks on about are normally well thought out....
but his latest call on telling people not to vote.... idiotic and irresponsible
the young people vote the least and the oldest vote the most.... so where do you think political parties appease which section first?
we may not have the best choices... but at least we have choices, remember that in some parts of the world they dont have that choice and chance to...
taking voting for granted makes a mockery of all those people who fought so hard for the right to vote for everyone... |

Hello all,
some describe him as intelligent, but that nasty prank he played on Andrew Sachs is what I always think of when I hear his name, juvenile in the extreme.

I used to hate him, but have completely changed my mind. I've seen him live on stage twice now and quite honestly have never laughed so much in my life. He's deliciously filthy as well as being articulate and intelligent. |

Putting his comedy/ acting aside ( which I personally love) I think it's hard to deny that he is an intelligent and articulate person. He's one of very few celebs that openly admit all their flaws and mistakes and are forthcoming about their past. He's come from a hard working class background and suffered all the same crap we have and some worse and has bettered himself. His political views are intelligent and well informed and he's the true definition of a wordsmith, a rare find nowadays. And for all those who think he's a bell end/ asshole whatever just take a minute and think, he married, then divorced Katy perry. He voluntarily walked away from the divorce without a penny of Katy perrys fortune. Yes he has a few million but she had five times his worth and I can't remember a single celeb divorce where the couple didn't fight over millions of pounds to add to the millions they already had? |

I likes him......and hate's a strong word for my liking. I might getting mildly miff at someone but not hate!
He uses his fame and social media platform to raise awareness of important issue; addiction, poverty, homelessness and greed of the über wealthy. Anyone that stands up and sticks there neck out against the media machine and it's rhetoric that get pumped out on a daily basis should be commended for their bravery! |

What really made a mockery of those people are the politicians that caused it all to happen then sent them all to war. And nothing really changed. The song remains the same. |

Yeah, it's definitely VERY interesting. Something certainly needs to happen ... but I don't know how or when it will.
I was watching one of his 'The Trews' shows the other day and a guest - Max Keiser - thinks a revolution of sorts will take place in the next 5 years or so.
I'm not too sure. Is it all a little too big to change? |

Don't find him funny, but do have some respect for kicking drugs and work he does with regard to helping others get clean.
As fir his latest 'revolution' idea - what a pratt!
I value my right to vote, and particularly this year, being the centenary of the first world war, where many, many men laid down their lives fir our rights and freedom - including our right to elect governments.
I therefore find his behaviour on this issue particularly disrespectful and counter productive. |

I know ladies love, and there's no doubt he has a very bright mind but I think a lot of the time the language he uses alienates many people. He can be quite hard to make sense of much of the time |

I think his point about not voting is rather poignant. The young feel that politics has nothing for them, and they're right because politics doesnt serve the people, it's only there to do the bidding of the corporations, which is why we live in a corporacy of a society. The corporations pay next to no taxes, they can commit horrendous offenses and just buy their way out of it. Yet the common man and woman are scrutinised at every turn, your bled dry. Who would want to vote for a broken system, why vote for something you don't want. It's time for change. |

The only way to change the system is to vote for the party that best represents your views.
And if you don't think any of them do, then why not take some interest and find out.
I always take the view that anyone who doesn't vote gives up the right to complain about the way the country is run. |

I met him about 4 years ago when he came to do some charity work at the rehab centre he attended in our town. He was with a guy who's known me from being a child, once they had finished ripping the piss out of me for the stuff (R) was telling him!!. He was a really nice chap, yes he's a bit eccentric but what he was saying was genuine and sincere. |

So choosing the lesser of the two evils. So what happens when neither of the two parties represents what you want? |

I'd encourage him to keep spreading his non voting message, because it's probably for the best if people who will do what Russell Brand tells them to do don't get a chance to influence anything important. Not a fan. |

Did anybody see him interviewed at an anti capitalist demo the year before last? Essentially he was asked exactly what he was protesting against and in an embarrassing silence he was completely unable to answer. Not sure if it is captured on youtube etc but he properly showed himself up for for the self publicising tool that he is. If he is a comedian then please dont appear on question time etc, baaah |
