(not satire – it’s the Daily Mail)
I’m not normally one to plug films, but I have to admit Russell Brand’s new documentary The Emperor’s New Clothes looks interesting.
Particularly the parts where he tackles bankers face-to-face about bonuses and doorsteps Daily Mail owner Lord Rothermere about his tax arrangements as a nondom tax exile.
Here’s a clip:
The film will have special screenings nationwide on 21st April followed by a live Q&A with Russell prior to its wide cinema release on 24th April.

Please feel free to comment. And share.
Pride's Purge 
They will ignore it. And tell themselves no one is interested. Then do a series of articles on Brand claiming he hates Britain

Russell Brand keeps telling folk not to vote.
This is what could happen if people do not vote.
TORY CARETAKER GOVERNMENT
The Tories have already won.
The rules say The Tories in government have to sit in power in a caretaker government, in the event of a severe hung parliament.
326 MPs minimum threshold for a single party or a couple of parties to form a government in the UK parliament.
Yougov prediction:
277 Labour
264 Tories
28 Lib Dems
IF THE POOR NOT-VOTER CAME OUT ON THURSDAY 7 MAY
400 MPs and over anti-austerity majority government made up of:
113 TUSC MP candidates
13 National Health Action party
(these MPs would have voted out Stafford Tory MP,
Prime Minister Cameron and
Health Minister Jeremy Hunt)
12 round about candidates of CLASS WAR
(Liza McKenzie – Chingford and Wood Green – voted out Iain Duncan Smith)
9 Left Unity Party (some are shared candidates with TUSC)
10 Socialist GB
(There are 3 voting areas in Brighton, 1 Brighton Pavilions The Greens, Socialist GB running in Brighton Kemptown and TUSC running in Brighton and Hove)
6 Mebyon Kernow in all of Cornwall
(single figure slim majorities of sitting Tory and Lib Dem MPs)
59 SNP
40 Plaid Cymru
190 Labour
The rules of government means small parties can negotiate between each other and not only with Labour when in government, to do the admin of making up the UK parliament.
RUSSELL BRAND
Could you share with your Twitter followers, please, my little website to help people, as all these parties gathered on one website.
There is a total news blackout in national press and TV news and so the 75 per cent poor voter is disenfranchised. Otherwise we face a Tory dictatorship for next 5 years.

The man is a pratt. He wants to end non-dom tax avoidance but tells young people not to vote. Is he now going to tell his followers to vote Labour; actually DO SOMETHING to change the situation rather than just making a film about how dreadful it is?

what’s labour, the party of keir hardie, going to do to increase uk productivity, that is 40% lower than it was 35yrs ago (apart from continuing to blame the unemployed, and provide more funding for the virtual workhouse)..? http://www.allofusfirst.org/

Reblogged this on Beastrabban’s Weblog and commented:
This is another trailer for the Emperor’s New Clothes, where Russell Brand and the director Michael Winterbottom follow in the footsteps of the ‘capped crusader’ Michael Moore, and use film to tackle social injustice and show up the venal, exploitative powerful. The piece where Brand attempts to doorstep Lord Rothermere is only a short clip. It simply consists of Brand standing at Rothermere’s very grand gates, draping them with posters saying that those who live in England should pay tax in England, while trying to get an interview with Rothermere over the intercom.
A few weeks ago I posted a piece from Private Eye examining Lord Rothermere’s non-dom tax status, and how he was using it to avoid paying millions of tax on the stately home he was building in the south of England. This has been far and away the most popular single piece on my blog recently. There’s a lot of people, who’d like to see Rothermere answer questions about his hypocrisy and the contempt he has for the ‘little people’ who pay the taxes to support him in his luxury.

Like your fellow Tories, you need lessons in spelling and grammar. Don’t they teach those subjects in Eton?
Should be: “They’ve got their money stashed off-shore like myself.”

have you considered that the poster is dyslexic?

Looking at eveitorypervert’s other posts on this forum and Johny Void’s I think it’s just down to him being a Tory shill. The spelling and grammar of other Tories I come across generally seems to be questionable. I lost my speech, grammar and numeracy after a stroke, but I worked hard to regain them. Mind you, eviltorypervert is quite possibly several individuals acting in concert.

If you read the billionaire press, it’s all about Brand telling the youth not to vote when in actual fact he did no such thing. What he said was that he never voted and gave his reasons why not. Reasons that make perfect sense given the choices on offer and the fag paper thin difference between the various mainstream parties. Like Michael Moore, he has the resources to satisfy his own self interest and play along with the system. Thankfully both of them do more for the dissemination of honest material than any mainstream media including the BBC. Thank goodness, because most of the people wealthy enough to do what they do merely want to protect what they have by investing offshore and dodging taxes we rely on to keep people safe and educated.
