Don't ever ask Russell Brand how much his house costs

If I speak very quickly using big words you will think I'm actually saying something intelligent rather than obfuscating.
Same BS that all those celebs who supported Occupy Whatever spouted. Banks are bad because they want us to pay back student loans paid to universities filled with political sycophants that raised their rates during the recession while everything else diminished in value.

If I was merican I would definitely say 'howdy'
If I was Mercian I would say:
Geþyld byð middes ades.
Frond dah feor ge nah: byð near nyttra.
Æt þearfe mann sceal freonda cunnian.
Nafað nigmann fronda t feala.
Beforan his fronde biddeþ, s þe his wdel mneþ.
Gd gr byþ þonne se hund þm hrefne gyfeð.

I would have far more respect for MPs, Union Leads and general gobshites claiming to be a messiah of the great unwashed
If they all voluntarily took the UK average wage of £26,500 and donated any extra to helping poor people. They might then become more determined into fixing the mind bending lack of equality in the country or just fuck off

I don't know that I wholly agree.
I'm lucky (?) enough to have lived both worlds. I was an engineer and earned loads. Not everyone could have done my job.
Then I was made redundant and eventually worked in a warehouse counting things and loading lorries from 5 am, even on Christmas day. I got minimum wage and no overtime or extras. But ANYONE could have done that job. I was lucky to get it with the competition, and two real degrees didn't help me.
There is a lack of a correct pay scale, but there has to be a pay scale, surely?

Pareto had his head up his ass
Because he fails to account for wealth creation. It is not a fixed amount of resources. One does not have to lose for another to gain. Example, Bill gates became a billionaire by providing something people want. A lot of people became wealthy along the way. Even more people's lives are enhanced.
Perhaps a bit of silliness helps the resistance to reality go down. EconPop
And here
And many more, but I expect you are not really interest.

Yes there has to be reward but not to to the distorted way it is now.
I agree that people who aspire to better jobs 'do' get paid better but working in a warehouse counting things and loading lorries is just as important but totally devalued. Do bankers who fail and paid more in one week you will ever earn have more stress? They fail but but get let off and paid more to go away quietly.
The gap between the two which capitalism is based on has become totally warped. Yes the wealthy will always say they worked so hard and any bum should do the same. But what if everyone did and became Doctor, bankers and lawyers. Who would clean the bins then?

You are missing the point I think.
Anybody can take out the bins. And that is all there is to it.

Fair point. He would be a very inefficient binman.
With few mods though...

Nice one RB.
The real 'cocks' are the ones presenting a tu quoque fallacy as valid critique.

'not as much as that cunt in there paid for his'

I'm no particular fan of Russell Brand, but I'm on his side on this one.
The price and quality of house that someone lives in is completely irrelevant to the arguments they put forward, and it's appallingly lazy journalism to raise it as an issue.

No it's not.
As I understand it, Brand was there
tl;dr: Brand is a knobhead.

not a knobhead at all,
putting himself forward as the public face of a group that might not have been recognised could be seen as egotistical, i think it is admirable. if its cunts you are looking for, look at the two elected representatives who killed the bill to stop revenge evictions. real arseholes dont seek the spotlight.
