Love The Trews. Was never a fan of Russell Brand until I saw The Trews and his standup, Messiah Complex. He has such a finely-tuned bullshit detector. Watch this episode if you ever need a good laugh.

I laughed hard at the news report. Especially the part where one of the websites on the iceberg was just the Safari icon.

"Russell Brand arrested as head of worldwide hacker group Anonymous."

Normally I can't stand that muppet, but he's pretty spot on in this clip.

Russel Brand, what a stud. Seriously, with the way the new UK Government is heading, we are looking at serious civil unrest over there in the next fews years.

What the fuck were they thinking? Cutting peoples welfare and punishing all those poor people because of the mistakes of the rich and powerful? It's disgusting. People need to eat, what's gonna happen when you try to starve them out?

This is sooo good! Thanks.

he said untrue things, government holds a homicide investigation over drug overdose, maybe the guys on top don't care, but death plays huge roles in the war on drugs and resources

Oh ffs, Russell Brand is a prick. Just because he happens to agree with you doesn't mean he's someone you should be proud to support your cause. He uses grandiose language unnecessarily without knowing what the words mean often. I'm not sure I've seen him being particularly insightful. I'll watch this video later but I won't hold my breath.

Edit: He grew up locally to me and he doesn't half talk weird for the accent. He goes off on unrelated tangents and doesn't back up his points. Doesn't even use the strongest points to support his arguments a lot of the time. He focuses on the wrong shit. He made a couple of decent points near the beginning then went off the fucking rails pretty much as per usual for the rest.


[0 Points] Jammy_J:

You may dislike Brands persona, but a lot of his points (not just on this case) are spot on.


[0 Points] OptionalAccountant:

If more celebrities would speak out like this, the war on drugs would end a lot quicker. Also, I think he is coked up in the video lol.

Isis organizing on deepweb, I hadn't even considered this thought like holy shit we are fucked. Really all terrorist organizations are gaining a new way to organize. This is really a brilliant concept for terrorist groups.


[-4 Points] IsThatPurple:

what an utter douchebag. Correct or not in this video, he still is.


[-5 Points] VirtualMoneyLover:

Russell clearly didn't follow the court case, otherwise he would have heard of Brian, who wouldn't have tried drugs without SR. Oh yes, he is also dead...

stop jerking off to the cunt known as Russel brand. What? you like his hair? His height? his personality? His opinions?. Stop empowering these people, empower your self.
