Just spotted that he was on Desert Island Discs on Friday. Reckon it'll be worth a listen

 

BBC iPlayer - Desert Island Discs: Russell Brand

It was. He really can't make him out. I think Kirsty was hoping for flirtatious Brand but got a much more reflective persona instead.

 

Unsurprisingly, he had a very varied selection of music

In psychiatric terms its like pressure of speech on the page but his knowledge and use of language is so uplifting

I think he's fucking brilliant: funny, articulate, passionate, caring and self-deprecating. That New Statesman piece is ace.

See what I mean? Fucking brilliant. Utterly futile too, of course, but brilliant nonetheless.

His passion is heartening in this day and age. Let's hope this has some sort of positive impact. I guarantee the Tories will slag him off for it though.

Come on Dennis. He didn't "sell" anything and he's patently not a wanker. He's a decent, caring bloke trying to navigate through the minefield between his celebrity and his opinions. He's doing something he doesn't have to do simply because he hopes it will help make things better.

 

He might well be naive, narcissistic and flawed, but he's a nice bloke who cares about people and that is never, ever a bad thing - especially in this shitty "me, me, me" Thatcherite dystopia we all inhabit.

 

This is why the idea of digging up old opinions on people or asking "why didn't people say anything before" is a nonsense in many cased.

 

Randomly found musings from Paul and Champ in 2013 and 2015. If I could pick two people on here who I'd want to take the side of on grounds of morality or decency, they'd be in my shortlist.

 

Brand is quite obviously not a good man, but good people once thought he was.

Aw, Bob, you’ll have me crying in a minute.

 

PS I read those quotes with fear in my heart. I think I just about got away with it

I think an issue here is God famously appeared in the burning Bush to destroy Sin and dispense grace,

 

whereas Brand appeared and dispensed Sin in a 16 year school girls Bush.

 

Slightly more foliage in Gods Bush.

Was the 16 year old called Grace?

For years I've absolutely detested this loathsome piece of shit, since the second I became aware of his existence. Whilst I pity the unfortunate women he's allegedly wronged I hope every allegation is true. I hope the vile bastard goes to prison and receives the kind of treatment cunts like him generally get. 

 

Just a point on this- Do we not see rehabilitation for these types of crimes?

As in we now just want the guy to be shanked in prison?

 

He's clearly turned his life around in other areas do sex criminals (I am sure he will be one) not get that same chance?

I think this whole thing is going to massively backfire on Channel four and the BBC.

 

Both were complicit in elevating Brand and turning a blind eye to his behaviour.

 

It wasn't like this was in the 70's and 80's either so you can make a case that it was a different time back then, it's all happened in the last ten to fifteen years.  

 

Whilst this has happened in the last 15yrs we as society in a lot of ways have evolved. 

 

With the emergence of Nuts and Zoo Magazines and the Lad culture it was thrown in my face as an adolescent  that this behaviour was the norm. The media lapped up the funny talking; ex smack head who could articulate beyond normal degrees of human communication and created a person that was allowed to go out shagging without consequences. 

 

Now I am not saying that the media should be responsible for any predatory behaviour but they have a lot to answer for in this culture.

The thing about necrophilia, is that one is more likely to get what one wants, and the victim can’t fight back.

 

Is this from experience?

I think I went to Maccies for my 15th, I'll be honest it didn't appear sex related until I got locked in the fridge.

 

Now we know why BoJo got locked in that fridge. Nadine was hiding behind the brussels wasnt she?

Looks like someone we know.

 

This reference was incredibly clever and didnt get the accolades it deserved.

How can he be rehabilitated when he's not yet been convicted and paid his debt to society.
