I dont know - i wasn't there .

You tell us which one it was

[Gromit]

The Guardian's attempts at humour are often very unfunny. This is Exhibit A.

Not sure what the point of it is. Over to you AOG to explain.

Where is the photo of Cameron leaving Katie Price's pad at 5am - I know it exists - but MI5 seem to have suppressed it ...

Oh so it was him who pasted those leaflets on the lamp posts?

Dave thinks that Russell Brand is a joke.

I think I will stick to the Daily Mail apparently they are less likely to make things up.

/// At the same time, Mr Miliband recently defended the controversial activist and admitted he was saying 'what a number of people are thinking'. ///

Does he mean Nigel, Is our Ed getting confused once again?

Picture shows Labour leader leaving comedian's luxury £2million London home

Surely not, aog. Russell is a man of the people.

[Hypognosis]

Not voting is equivalent to voting for the eventual winner, imho.

[bazwillrun]

Brand is another David Icke in the making....

[mushroom25]

hypognosis, the winner will win, whatever happens. so are you saying there's no point in voting?

btw, mr miliband was there to be "interviewed" by russell brand for his next podcast, which is expected later today.

[RandyMarsh]

Not voting is equivalent to voting for the eventual winner, imho.

What do you think of an option that lets you say that none of the candidates speak for you, a "none of the above option" that says, i am here to participate but no one represents me.

It would be interesting to see how many "votes" none of the above would get.

///£2million London home ///

It's rented!

[Baldric]

www.dailymail.co.uk/.../Millionaire-comic-Russell-Brand-loses-temper-mar...

2 Dec 2014 - Home: Russell Brand's rented property in Hoxton, which could be worth up to £1.5m for its owner and would rent for upwards of £5,000 a month.

[Gromit]

Apparently Ed was being interviewed for Brands YouTube channel. Brand has over 1 million viewers, which is more than the readership of The Daily Express, daily Mirror, Times, Telegraph, Standard, FT and Daily Star.

It's the new media you know.

[mushroom25]

//It's the new media you know. //

yep, ooooodles better than a professionally made production in a purpose built studio with professional production staff is something produced in a dimly lit geek's bedroom on a shaky hand held mobile phone doubling as a video camera, with correspondingly blurred and patchy visuals.

i really can't see the attraction of watching someone's home movies.

[RandyMarsh]

Russell Brand's show is not a low brow production and it is who it reaches that is key.

Youtube commentators are the new rock stars.

[Gromit]

Mushroom,

Many millions watch YouTube Channels and listen to podcasts. The modern Politician cannt afford to ignore such a vast audience. Several YouTube channels get millions more viewers than SKY News.

[RandyMarsh]

here you go mushroom, here is his latest video.
