The Sun Dodge Tax - Is That Funny?

Reluctantly I have to agree.

I'm genuinely amazed at the number of followers. I'd have thought at most a tenth as many.

I'm not really up on twitter but even allowing for fake or dormant accounts, 8.6m is a significant number.

Almost precisely the number of votes Labour got at the last election. Four times the circulation of the biggest newspaper. It's a platform.

Whether what he says is of value is another matter.

...we must expand...get more pupils...so that the knowledge will spread...

Sorry, it's late. That and I'm blind.

Let's hope they just stop at that, because it wouldn't surprise me if they went further. You only have to do a little digging with the heinous establishment child abuse cover up to realise these people will stop at nothing to protect their status and positions if it's being questioned.

We've been crying out for someone like Russell for years. The charisma, intelligence, humour, bravery and articulacy that perhaps we haven't seen since a certain Mr Lennon.

We're bombarded and senses bludgeoned by a media, corporations and political figures that just give us a one sided view on society, and one that inherently benefits them. They've slowly eroded any voice of discontent against their one eyed system, so much so, that the banks got away with what the banks got away with - we are still paying for it - and hardly anyone has really batted an eye lid in this country; because despite being told we live in a democracy because we have the chance to put a cross inside a box every 5 years, the reality is the people feel utterly powerless.

I just don't understand the hatred towards Russell unless of course you see him as a threat.

I might be naive, simplistic, have the mind of a debating sixth former...but what he says chimes 100 times more with me than anything i've heard ANY politician say in my lifetime.

Just wish he didn't support West Ham

I don't hate Russell Brand. There are very few people I hate.

What I see is a t*** spouting unintelligible nonsense, which is gobbled up by gullible fools, acting like the people in the Life of a Brian, who are desperately trying to find a new leader, any leader, to tell them what to do and think, all for the furtherance of his career. He is doing this to keep him on the front pages of newspaper and to sell books.

He isn't a 'working class lad made good', from what I have read he led a comfortable middle class life as a child being the son of a photographer, and has led a narcissistic life since, displaying misonynistic and tactless tendencies when allowed too.

If I was on the far left, there would be far more compelling characters I would look up too. If you believe he is the new Lennon (another raging hypocrite by the way), I feel sorry for you.

Now I know you are joking!

Supported Palace for over 69 years since the age of 7 and have seen all the ups and downs and will probably see many more ups and downs before I go up to the big football club in the sky.
