Banned from South Africa and known for his “notoroious drug use, alcoholism and promiscuity”, this comedian is nothing but controversial. Brand has more followers than Stephen Fry on Twitter and signed a £1.8 million book deal with HarperCollins in 2008. He describes himself as being like an “S&M Willy Wonka”.
Two stories to keep beside you
Toby Flood
This level-headed “reluctant star” of English rugby grew up in Northumberland and describes himself as a “horse whisperer, ventriloquist, ladies swimwear model and soft play enthusiast” to his 50,000 followers on Twitter. He enjoys gardening, fishing and walking his black Labrador and eventually intends to become a lawyer. Whilst both of his grandfathers were actors, […]

This Lincolnshire lout will only ever be known for filming himself having sex with his ex-girlfriend Amber Hicking’s Staffordshire bull terrier. He was handed a four month jail sentence suspended for two years, placed on the sex offenders’ register for seven years and banned from owning animals for two years in March 2014. The dog […]

South Africa has its hands full with Julius Sello Malema Commander-in-Chief of the Economic Freedom Fighters Political Movement. Jacob Zuma is rumoured to sing “What do you do with a problem Like Julius” when he takes a bath. South Africa does not need Russell Brand. What Russell Brand and Julius Malema have in common is probably the clap.
Get him off these esteemed pages. Disgraceful to give him even airspace.
Matthew Steeples article on Russell Brand is relevant and objective, there is no bias or prejudice. Brand has infiltratet the Goldsmith clan, attempting to become a more powerful mouthpiece……..They are all tossers..
l see Matthew; so you do make mistakes after all
But, if you are going to make a mistake; you might as well make a big one…..this is a mistake that will come back to haunt you like a ‘ long tail ‘ at Lloyds
He is seriously rancid goods, he and Jonathan Ross are part of what I refer to as part of ‘ the way forward ‘
The words nasty and vile don’t come near to describing these two unspeakable ‘ cults ‘
The roll call entry neither celebrates nor condemns him. I am personally no fan.
Chaim behave. Sometimes, like now, I think you deserve a really good slap.
You deplore “attacking character and becoming abusive”, yet you are rudely dismissive of the Goldsmiths.
I know the family well, having worked closely with Jimmy Goldsmith for nearly two years and I had lunch with the family at Ormerley most weekends during that time. They have their eccentricities. They have their passions. They may not live in Margate, but, in my book, they are far from being ‘tossers’.
So as I say Chaim: BEHAVE! You know not of what you speak.
Jimmy Goldsmith was not a pleasant man. Some might say he displayed all the traits of a psychopath.
And never forget, this was a man once a ardent and committed europhile.
I had the misery of having to work with Robert Maxwell for a couple of years. Similar men, though Eton burnished Goldsmith.
What an idiotic and unpleasant remark. Sir James was a gent and his good wife is a treasure.
Glenmore, I am a satirist, the Golsmiths are not wounded soldiers or vulnerable people. They are very privileged and should be durable enough to take a punch on the chin. Did you spy for Jimmy?
Russell Brand advocates promiscuity and obscenity. He won the Sun newspapers ” shagger of the year award” He boasts of three- somes involving the blue boys. He is a tosser…..
