No Lies

And Brand could have said it to the Reporter
who has so many Backing him

[Kizzy]

So many backing him..who are backing him? It's another brick in the wall of the increasing social divide. You can't choose where the fall, you either have or you do not have.
Those who have and argue the case for those less fortunate are for me doing it from a ethical standpoint. I can see why others with sway would seek to discredit him, he is rocking the boat and highlighting issues that the establishment would prefer the rest of the UK were ignorant to.
What I'm struggling to understand is those who have very little but still feel it is ok for the establishment to strip rights and use the media to silence those who speak out in such a divisory way.

he is on Steve Wright in a wee while

So wait, where exactly is the massive HYPOCRITE front page headline splashed over Bob Geldof's mug? Or is that OK because he advocates for brown people in dusty countries from his expensive home?

Surely, until he is living in a mud Hut drinking dirty water, his message is an utter sham!

It's been said plenty already but here's the truth of it: if you are struggling to make it in Britain, you can speak out for everyone but no one is listening. If you do "make it" and try to speak out for those who are struggling, you will be shot down as a hypocrite. The long and short of it: the press is controlled by people whose interests lie in not giving the vast majority of people in Britain any sort of voice.

brand speaks out endlessly not on behalf of "the poor" but for all normal citizens who are oppressed by the landed elite (yes, all of us, whether we care to admit it or not). He should be applauded for it but the press without fail is waiting to tear him down.

The suggestion that he can't or shouldn't say anything unless he gives up all of his own money and influence is ridiculous and circular. Of he gave up his celebrity lifestyle he would fade into obscurity and go unheard, like every other person who believes in social justice. A mouse desperately squeaking at a hurricane.

have you seen the The View
video I posted just for you

[Kizzy]

They are piling on the pressure... The whole front page eh? I find it hard to believe there's nothing else going on in the world that he warrants the whole front page.
You would think he was going up against the establishment or summat...

Brand claimed he was going to take the Sun to court
for the other front page

He did not need to tweet that

Just do it.

[Kizzy]

He can tweet what he likes, just like the sun can print what they like... apparently.

Sure he can
but no need for a threat

As that paper then funds Polls
just for his case

[Kizzy]

It wasn't a threat, it was a statement of intent.

They can fund what they want they have money, people actually buy this rag full of lies and spin.

The Mirror is also full of spin

The mirror isn't in discussion here though is it?

However many people buy the sun hasn't got anything to do with the action taken by Mr Brand.

Youtube video

For Kizzy

He has some valid points here

Unbelievable, the Sun branding someone a hypocrite.
What a disgrace this vile publication is, after its rotten slander as to the Liverpool fans after Hillsborough, after its sister paper the News of the World was hauled before the courts for more wrongdoing,how this thing is allowed to still be published is beyond me.

Even moreso how it got another Sunday paper is also beyond me too,unless its maybe a bit of payment for its support of the Conservative party.
AFter all after the budget, it also stated Cameron had taken on board all the Sun's policies.

Russell Brand stood his ground, the reporter was out of order and it really is sickening now again, even after the inquiry into the press, how journalists can get away with just about anything still.
Channel 4 also seem to be following a dubious agenda too of late.
It is why I buy no papers,I read the Independent but the Mail and the Sun, I wouldn't soil my hands touching either.

Sun poll? awesome for those who find the political opinions of people with an IQ of under 80 to be particularly enlightening.

Understanding what Brand has to say requires intelligence because he rarely dumbs it down for the lowest common denominator. Therefore, it is completely unsurprising that the majority of British people don't understand what he has to say.

Sun poll, with likely biased and strongly loaded leading comments at the start of the questions asked of people.

This comic should be on the fiction stands in stores and newsagents not ever taken seriously.
It is the most obnoxious, extreme,vile and prejudiced paper in existence,closely followed by another waste of space, the Daily Mail.
