Russell Brand guest – edited an issue of The New Statesman and wrote an assay about the  revolution that has started and is happening. If you are not part of it then it is time for you too to wake up.

Jeremy Paxman’s beard:

“Russell Brand… if you don’t vote how do you have any authority to write about politics?”

Russell Brand:

“Well, I don’t get my authority from this current paradigm which is quite narrow and only serves a few people, I look for alternatives elsewhere that can be of service to humanity”.

Russell Brand Interviewed on BBC’s Newsnight by Jeremy Paxman’s luxuriant beard.
