This Russell Brand takedown of Nigel Farage went viral all over again because it’s never been more relevant
It’s been five years since Russell Brand brilliantly critiqued Nigel Farage on Question Time and it went viral all over again because it’s never felt more relevant.
The critique of Nigel Farage on the BBC is often weak and shallow and misses the point to why he is so dangerous.
However there was an exception which was that time when Russell Brand exposed Farage for exactly what he is live on #BBCqt pic.twitter.com/a9xtjD72J8

‘I’m a little worried about you, Nigel Farage. The reason I feel worried about you is that a lot of people are frightened in our country and are feeling afraid and frustrated.
There is a corrupt group in our country, using our resources, taking away our jobs, taking away our housing, not paying tax and exploiting us.
Let me tell you something, there was an economic crash and a lot of money was lost. His mates in the city farted, Nigel Farage is pointing at immigrants and the disabled and holding his nose.
Immigrants are not causing the economic problems that we are experiencing.
I enjoy seeing Nigel Farage in a boozer with a pint and a fag, laughing off his latest scandals about breastfeeding but this man is not a cartoon character.
He ain’t Del Boy. He ain’t Arthur Daley. He is a pound shop Enoch Powell, and we’ve got to watch him.’
Just brilliantly done.
Wow! Indeed Brand got him straight up. I haven’t a lot of time for Russell but he got it right here…”pound shop Enoch Powell” … vote for this guy is a vote to be manipulated for RW interests – he’s a fascist

Don’t really like RB but he got Farage summed up in 1 minute. Well done to Russell Brand for having the balls to play Farages game and call his bluff.
