Russell Brand

Is anyone fooled by this self serving vainglorious idiot. I bet he earns more than 99% of bankers.

Russell Brand is far from trivial. On Newsnight, he made Paxman look ridiculous - Comment - Voices - The Independent

He was excellent, saying exactly what everyone thinks of the broken system. Paxo was speechless, probably because he agreed. You are missing the point if you talk about what he earns.

Paxman or Brand?

Even Paxman comes across as pathetic with a bunch of inane quations.

Why for instance did he not ask when Brand started going on about bankers bonuses how much Brand earned.

It is the easiest thing in the world to criticise something and I am surprised frankly that you are taken in by it. It was how Hitler giot to power by launching soundbites that blamed the Jews.
Brand offers nothing new until he comes up with some practical ideas of how things should change.

Because Paxman is not an idiot, did show business get a huge bailout from taxpayers after almost destroying the world economy?

The world economy was damaged just as much by feckless governments as by bankers. This money or false money has ended up in the pockets of the small percentage of people who are very rich of which Brand is one of them.

How much does Paxman earn? Is that relevant either?

I suspect he's more likely to come up with some impractical ideas
