He has an open mind. Don't see the problem in that. Sounds ridiculous inviting Russell Brand on a show and then being surprised he doesn't say what they wanted to hear.

People may not trust politicians and be disillusioned with the whole process but he's dumb to suggest that the logical conclusion of that disillusion is to buy into outrageous conspiracy theories

Exactly, it's like petting a wolf and being shocked when it bites you.

I'm surprised there's a backlash against this on a UK show. But then people love to complain about things. If he said that on a show in America all hell would break loose.

Trivial thing though. He has an open mind. Just like billions of others around the whole world. Or are celebs not allowed to share opinions and have to agree with the bandwagons...

I am a 9/11 conspiracy theorist too but I think Russell should run for office if he want to take such an active interest in politics. He's starting to get invited onto American Cable shows for political interviews. Its stupid. Stick to comedy or run for Office.

A lot of strange things happened that day which the US government has made no attempt to explain. Instead giving us an official stance that cant be true.

He's been on the Young Turks network at least a couple of times spouting his views on the American media. Nothing wrong with having an opinion and expressing it but some cable political channels actually take him seriously and he doesnt seem to mind. IMO if he wants to be so active in politics then he should do something to back up his opinions

Thats not what I meant but I'm sure you're well aware of that. I'm talking about things like the stock options that have never been claimed, the amazing 270 corkscrew turn that the inexperienced pilot who piloted the plane that plowed into the pentagon even though he was a barely able pilot, the lack of debris around the pentagon etc. Its all well documented if you want to take a look.

Russell Brand is incredibly smart, love his videos of the 'trews' and he's nearly always right tbh.
