Someone might think he agrees with the vile misogynistic approach that Julien Blanc suggests.

I personally wouldn't buy a book on political theory by a man who can't answer difficult questions on sexual politics.

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 14/11/2014 19:07

But he is happy to comment on so much else Confused

No comment means he won't answer a question, not he can't.

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 14/11/2014 19:09

But why won't he?

OP posts:
PacificDogwood · 14/11/2014 19:10

Why does he comment on so many other things then?
What are his qualifications or even his experience in running a country?

raltheraffe · 14/11/2014 19:11

Well I do not know why. Only RB knows why he will not comment. Perhaps he was caught off-guard and did not expect the question.

grimbletart · 14/11/2014 19:12

I think the two complement each other. Perfect soul mates.

'I personally wouldn't buy a book on political theory by a man who can't answer difficult questions on sexual politics.'

That's fair enough. Don't buy it. Ignore him. Ignore his web chat. Ignore threads about him. He is very easily ignorable.

OutragedFromLeeds · 14/11/2014 19:29

What was the question on the web chat? I can't be bothered to read through it all. What was he actually asked?

IgnoreMeEveryOtherFuckerDoes · 14/11/2014 19:30

So op what is the main purpose of this thread petition or RB bash?

I just think if you started reason for petition thread title you would get more response

ChickenMe · 14/11/2014 19:37

RB is a man child and a shambles. I do find him quite amusing as a comedian-probably due to these factors. Not interested in his views on politics but did catch a bit on Absolute in the car. He sounds like a "champagne socialist" to me.
He does strike me as someone who would look up to that Julien character.

raltheraffe · 14/11/2014 19:40

RB does not want to run the country, but if he did he could probably do a better job than David Cameron, even if he went back to his old habits and was high on smack while doing it.

In fact I struggle to imagine anyone who could do a worse job than David Cameron. Even the bloody Chuckle Brothers would be an improvement.

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 14/11/2014 19:43

Ignore
There are several petition threads in the Petitions section, why would I start another one? Confused Why do you keep banging on about this? I was reading about Julien Blanc and was surprised to see that photo in a national newspaper.

IgnoreMeEveryOtherFuckerDoes · 14/11/2014 19:47

So its just another RB bash thread, could say the same there are a few knocking about

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 14/11/2014 19:48

Russell is that you Wink

As Popbitch pointed out, this guy knows Holly Willoughby and her producer husband. His production company was connected with the show. I expect Brand cares more about remaining in Wiloughby's good graces than he cares about what domestic abuse campaigners will think.

You're thinking of the Dapper Laughs bloke Gatorade. This is someone else entirely.

GatoradeMeBitch · 14/11/2014 20:22

Oh, yes I am thinking of someone else. This is a different slimeball he was pictured with then? OK! Can't keep up...

hiddenhome · 14/11/2014 21:01

Deport RB to Kazakhstan please.

raltheraffe · 14/11/2014 21:30

like Borat?

LineRunner · 14/11/2014 21:39

Borat-lite

IgnoreMeEveryOtherReindeerDoes · 14/11/2014 21:41

Any op I signed petition

raltheraffe · 14/11/2014 21:42

Thanks to hidden home I now have a mental image of RB in a mankini in my head. If I could I would sue hidden home for the psychological distress this has caused. Gross.

hiddenhome · 14/11/2014 22:04

What?! Oh, that doesn't bear thinking about Confused
