Brand has 8.6 million twitter followers!!?


It's almost as if people want to hear what he has to say .


I have checked. The number is true. I am genuinely amazed.

He has the same number of followers as people who voted Labour at the last election. Which puts all my comments about 'legitimate platforms' into context.

F*ck me. I had no idea.

God help us.

So Johnny do you now accept that Brand has a legitimate platform to put across his views and have them widely heard? And that his millions of subscribers and followers indicate he has something valuable to say?

I would say, by your own criteria, he does.

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.

Edited by Johnny Eagles (06 Dec 2014 1.31am)

Fair play to you. They are incredible numbers. Value is a subjective notion but my view is that an alternative narrative to the one we are generally given is a good thing. Of course the establishment will try to discredit him - that's to be expected. Time will tell if history judges Brand to be a genuine voice for change or an egotistical fantasist.


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.

Maybe he meant Neil Lennon? Quite impressive to generate a 23 page thread whatever you think of him

For the record, I too never used to like Brand for exactly the reasons you point out.
But it was 'the powers that be' constantly f-cking over the public for many years that made me listen to many other views, Brands included, and made me look beyond the bluster and bravado.
You talk of ''gullible fools looking for a new leader'' when the truth is exactly the opposite.

Your post says more about you than those you attack.

You are in denial. The lefties are looking exactly for a leader to take them to their socialist paradise. Anyone will do, from a list of luminaries from Livingston, Galloway to Brand.

Fools.

Thank you for your input Michael. Keep chasing that unintelligible and unworkable agenda most people realise is bum gravy by the age of 22. But that's when normal people get a job in the real world and guess despite you being over double that age, that part of your life still has to happen.

Why do you assume those that are ''gullible'' are looking for a new leader?
Why do you label anyone who thinks for themselves ''fools''?
Why do you not embrace knowledge?
Why do you constantly refer to 'leaders'?
Why do you have such a problem when faced with the truth?

Are you dumb or just in denial?

The above makes no sense. It is just a random list of abstract comments designed to attempt to pull me into an argument with you.

The revolution will happen the day after Palace win the Champions League and I have a multi header with Cameron Diaz, three of the Wondergirls and the fit Armenian girl who serves at the Bevis Marks outlet of Cafe Nero.
