To think this what the Russel Brand story is meant to bury?

It's not half as salacious, possibly a bit dry and dull to most people.

But it's fucking constitutional dynamite

Ha ha ha, bingo to whoever first said the response would be ‘do your own research’!!

Okay then, I’m thick. I don’t know who you mean by the establishment and don’t know where to start with research. Please give me some names or job titles of who you regard to be in the establishment so I can research them and understand. Genuinely, I would like to know.

Yes, their idea of a research involves listening to grifters on social media.

@madamreign it’s brooch.

This is the first time I’ve ever corrected anyone online but you’ve driven me to it.

seems relevant..

Not 'hilarious' at all. Just my polite way of saying 'Do your own research!' Like the rest of us have done

Sigh.

I've never heard anybody use that phrase, who could "research" their own arse with one hand.

But I thought RB and his 'awakening wonders' are all about awakening the masses?!

How will you awaken me and enable me to 'stay free' if you tell me to do my own research?

I truly don't know what you mean by establishment. Tell me please.

Seems to be deleted, what was it?

@CherryMaDeara it still works for me??? It’s exploding heads - comedy

Why are you gate keeping the truth? Is it only for the elite?

I’ve heard about you lot…

Well, that's because the answer is to 'do your own research'. No 'ha, ha' about it. 🙄

Not really sure why you're on here trying to ridicule others when you can't even do the basics.

As I've already said, the best thing to do to inform yourself on the establishment RB is talking about is to watch the videos on his YouTube channel. It's all there.

maybe this one works better.

Very new to x/twitter because the new school uses it - I learned today they only share links in a specific way

The awakening wonders are conspiring the keep the truth from the rest of us...

Knowledge is power and power always corrupts

I will absolutely not be watching Brand’s videos, no way will I be adding views to that weasels’ media.

Why can’t you just give us a round up? A lot of us would love to hear, genuinely.The problem is, the more you say ‘do your own research’ the more it confirms that you don’t know the answer. If you were to ask me about a topic I was passionate about, I would happily discuss it with you. The fact that you are not doing so makes it seem as though you have no idea who the individuals in ‘the establishment’ are. I genuinely want to know some names or some job titles so I can investigate myself. Are they government roles? Are the roles within the WHO? Are they roles within the EU? Other governments? Or is there some secret society we need to be made aware of? Who are ‘they’?

Not very awakeny of them.

I’ve always thought if I was so sure of my position I would have a list of references backing it up.

Haven't rtft, so apologies if I am repeating others, but OP has it backwards. A big story like Russell Brand would be, to quote The West Wing, "time to take out the trash". So I wouldn't be surprised if some story that the govt knows will break eventually is sneaked out now while people are distracted. The Boris story doesn't fit here because he has been comprehensively turfed out by his own party. Also, that story has also been researched for years.

No, but the timing of the release of the two items..neither had to be released at any particular time, there was a decision to be made on the timing. Presumably they avoid major sports fixtures, Christmas, election time when scheduling these things. Everyone knew the BBC documentary was coming out. Maybe the rightwing media decided to release the RB news now because of that?

That works thanks! Colin from Portsmouth sounds like every guy who calls LBC!

Now, I'm pretty sure you're trolling. It's not my job to awaken you. I'm baffled as to why you want someone to explain things, when you can literally just look yourself.
I'm over this conversation now.

@Jumpingthruhoops now, now. You’ve already got the brains and the truth. There’s no need to be such a big meanie.

One of the fundamental rules of credible arguments is, ‘’He who makes the claim provides the facts’’

If you say something, you need to back it up. As pp have said, if you were that confident in your convictions, you would have absolutely no issue with providing references.

‘’Do your own research’’ is just a tired old line. The second I see that I immediately know that the person is a gullible idiot who likes to think they are intelligent.

It’s very entertaining to watch, actually. I’ve got my conspiracy theorist bingo card at the ready 🤣

Eh? I haven't made any 'claims', Russell Brand did! He can provide all the evidence you want. I'm frankly baffled as to why you would want someone on the internet to detail all the people he's held to account in his podcast when you can just watch the podcast? That makes zero sense.

Russell Brand didn't amass 6.5 million YT followers from 'word of mouth'. No. Each one of those people watched his content and decided they wanted to follow him, including many people who admitted to hating him before, but liked how he was one of very few voices challenging the preferred narrative.

So, go on, have a look. You might actually learn something.

Russell Brand didn't amass 6.5 million YT followers

sounds a bit establishmenty to me. Is his stuff on a platform that isn’t monetised?
