It's funny, Russell Brand was born in a working class background, and still has working class issues he wants to address and raise.
However, I've been watching the reaction of the people who went on Saturday's #MarchAgainstAusterity demo, and a lot of them didn't appreciate him turning up.
I actually feel quite sorry for the man, apart from the fact that he's a very rich hypocrite, he still wants to march, and be with the people he grew up with, and they've completely disowned him.
Maybe it's because he hasn't distributed his wealth equally among those he grew up with, I don't know.
I can only find one person who was glad to see Brand there, and that was the warm up act, Guardian columnist Owen Jones.
On Mr Jones' facebook profile, he made it fairly obviously the only reason Jones was glad he was there to help spread the message (despite the fact that even with Brand there, the march still failed to make the national news).
Poor Russell Brand, he seems to want to emulate the late and greats of John Lennon, and Karl Marx, but fails to find the right words to get those he who he desperately wants to receive acceptance from.
Maybe he should quit comedy and become a full time journalist, dedicated to writing about the struggles, and woes of the working classes, whilst distributing his wealth equally among those who need it the most...... nah!
