Russell Brand: The Original Anarchist?

24 Jan 2014

Comedian-actor-writer Russell Brand who not so long ago guest edited an edition of New Statesman has emerged as a celebrity with vocal political views. In a recent talk with students at Cambridge University, Brand discusses an interesting array of social, political and economic issues articulating that definitive anti-establishment critique that he is increasingly gaining popularity for. Offering a unique brand of enlightenment and entertainment, Brand manages to inject comedic sauciness into serious subject matters, including but not limited to, corporate totalitarianism, spirituality, drug addiction and civil rights.
