Russell Brand to run a Mayor of London? Nothing Ironic There At All

There are rumors saying comedian Russell Brand will stand for the position of Mayor of London.

A man who's never voted in his life, wants you Londoners to go out of your way and put your trust into him, and his 'alternative'.

A man who isn't against open boarders policy, is against big businesses (despite giving Hollywood a lovely boost in profits), and hasn't really offered an alternative.

Despite him now backtracking since one of his idols, John Lydon (Johnny Rotten), slammed him for telling people not to vote, Brand is hardly a worthy opponent of anyone.

Firstly, what alternative? An alternative political system. And what does that mean? Well even he doesn't know, as when Jeremy Paxman asked him that, all he could say was "Well I haven't invented it yet Jeremy."

So basically, there is no alternative, false hope is alive and well.

But I can see Brand's train of thought; the Mayoral election isn't until 2016, so maybe he'd of come up with alternative by then.... socialism will basically be his answer.

With that in mind, you might as well vote, if the rumors are true, for Eddie Izzard, who would run for Labour.

Russell Brand, the 'revolutionary', who's not only got the left wanting an alternative, but even more dangerously (for him at least), the right are also starting revolt. But that's life, a double edged sword that'll protect you, as well as cut you, so be careful what you wish for, as it might just come true.
