Russell Brand on 17:10 - Sep 17 by unbelievablue | Well yes, quite. My point being that when I was 19/20, it felt eloquent. More fool the younger me. |
Indeed. Never impressed me but I'm special :-) He appears to have become a very dodgy wellness/ conspiracy pusher in the interim as well. R4 did a show on it a while back. |  | |  |

A predictable pivot. A lot of money in that stuff and it obviously appeals to the ego. |  |

Russell Brand on 17:27 - Sep 17 with 3510 views | DJR | I have always thought he was vacuous, and I also found his slightly squeaky voice annoying. He also wrote for the Guardian for some time, which I thought strange given his acknowledged promiscuity, which is evidence of a lack of respect for women. [Post edited 17 Sep 2023 17:29]

BJJ is a very small world and he embedded himself in that for a bit too. It's also had non-famous (outside the sport) sexual predators outed and a massive range of responses. It's always the type of blokes that support them. I wonder what the club who weren't shy about promoting that he trained there will respond now he's been fingered. |  |

Russell Brand on 08:06 - Sep 16 by Mullet | He's been an insufferable, annoying gobshyte for years. Nowhere near as clever or clued up as he tries to convince himself he is. Constantly trying to stay relevant and ride whatever trends gets him noticed. There's not much else to say is there? |
Nope, nothing more to add to that. I’ve never understood the media fascination with him and after what he and Ross did, if either appears on tv, the channel changer is wielded or the off switch hit. |  | |  |

Now that he's bee- Ooooh. On a related note, I am starting Kuk Sool Won up the road this week. First proper foray into MA for 15 years. Terrified. |  |

In Suffolk? Is it with Ducker et al.? You'll be absolutely fine. Just listen to lots of hair metal and make whooshy noises all over the house for a week before you go. Perfect mental prep for angry Tae Kwon Do I reckon. |  |

Nah down in SE London. My mate does it at Sutton Hall in Suffolk and enjoys it. I CBA doing Shotokan again but BJJ is too expensive down here and this was 5 mins drive away on nights I can do. |  |

Yeah London BJJ is hilariously priced. They also think they invented it which riles the Northerners up no end. What did they quote you? £100 pcm upwards? |  |

£189 a month, which is laughable. Kuk Sool Won is £50 a month (2 classes a week) and £30 sign up but includes a Gi! |  |

Team conspiracy matrix/illuminati conspiracy are coming out fighting for Brand on 20:29 - Sep 17 with 2988 views | unstableblue | He’s only being targeted by the Times, Channel 4 because he’s spoken out about MSM, big pharma, and the global elites, and questioning Ukraine Not that you know he’s abused women, that isn’t relevant [Post edited 17 Sep 2023 20:32]

Russell Brand on 17:07 - Sep 17 by redrickstuhaart | He was never eloquent. Used lots of big words, but rarely in an eloquent and well structured manner. More pretentious and loquatious. |
Yeah, he's always misused words a fair bit because he's not anywhere near as clever as he thinks he is but is often twice as clever as those he targets. |  |

Disgusting. A woman siding with someone accused of rape and sexual assault because it might further her career, she can get in the fooking sea. |  |

Russell Brand on 08:40 - Sep 18 with 2415 views | itfcjoe | I was chatting about this to my wife last night, and had forgotten until she reminded me, that a mate was seeing a girl who was a runner on Loose Women, and that after Brand had been on he'd got her number and just had hounded her with messages and voicemails for a few weeks until he gave up after nothing back. I'm sure there were dozens of girls getting this treatment as well. I guess it's not until you think through the consequences of it, that these girls often felt pressurised, that in some cases their jobs ended up depending on it because they worried about not getting more work etc. It's incredibly sad for what at the time probably just felt like a sex pest looking for another notch on his bedpost. I watched She Said the other day, which is a movie about Weinstein and very good on this, that people who rejected his overtures basically were forced out of the industry because he wielded so much power. It was similar and an old employer of my wife's when she worked on a provate yacht where the ships captains and even more so the boat owners were treated as God - fall out with one of them and no one else would touch you |  |
