Russell Brand Youtube

[nick30]

I haven’t seen his videos shared as widely as I thought but personally I think they have been great recently and I wanted to start conversation between us whilst sharing content. Let’s see how it goes, hopefully we can all learn stuff together.

This below is the latest one about an hour ago. Pretty deep but interesting and I am aligning with this funny guy. Not sure how you guys feel? At least he doesn’t do silly adverts halfway through but he does need to promote himself which is fair enough.

He is well up on current affairs I believe hopefully.

He has certainly matured far better than I expected.

He was a fool, he now appears quite level headed and thought. And often a pleasure to listen to.

[dmahon]

He has been very impressive over the last 6 months or so.

[Shrugging for victory]

TBH I was pleasantly shocked at the content of his channel. He's been a sensible voice in a sea of nonsense, there's no agenda, no leaning, just honest conversation about the facts that are out there.

He’s a prick with ears

Me too #

I watched some of John Campbell’s videos too on breaks and it’s informative great stuff.

Sod knows why mods moved a current affairs thread out of NPE

He has been a complete surprise these last two years. Intelligent discussion of the issues from a number of angles. Unlike basically all of our media. He should invite informed guests and talk with them.

Agreed, although at least one of the trolls on the Covid thread won't give his videos the time of day because he 'looks like Jesus'

That's what I base my life decisions on. "Does that fella have long hair and a beard? Well he must be full of incorrect facts! I only trust the weasel looking fellas in badly fitting suits, that show wonky graphs"

[Wacky Racer]

I like his videos, he talks a lot of sense, which has surprised me, I must say.

The Shapiro episode was interesting. BS expected a tear up, and seemed to visibly relax as RB genuinely wanted to find common ground.

[JagLover]

Only seen a few of his videos from the past year or so, but he always comes across as very level headed and thoughtful.

I mean I am sure that our politics differ in many areas but it is more the way he present his opinions.

[Teddy Lop]

I hear people say good things about him but he's too much of a chameleon for me to attach any authenticity too.

I mean, from womanising/abusive Hollywood hack to woke warrior to seemingly attaching his caravan to the IDW train last time I looked, what's next?

[GitsNovelties]

RB- "Hello all you lovely people, you are individuals, lets talk about all these world leaders who think they're better than you, who want to rule you and tell you what to do. You're better than that right! LOL"
"Anyway Elites are taking over! Our only hope is to form our own. To learn more join my cartel, that's right MY cartel, with me in charge. I'm not like the others!"

So, bit of a god complex maybe?

Possibly a bit of that but at least he is actually funny and informative. My view was that but over time he has imo become more honest with us than much of the msm.

Or he just understands humour, and you don't.

[Doofus]

He needs to sit on his hands.

[V1nce Fox]

Think he’s been outstanding over the last two years.

[Randy Winkman]

I like him too. Very odd for me to spend more than 10 mins watching anything on Youtube (other than Project Binky). I like the way he is at great pains not to pick what's right/wrong unless it is pretty much uncontestable. I do find myself wondering what the location he films from is like. His home, I guess?
