Never heard of them. One looks like an asexual Brit. Other one looks like Charles Manson.

One of Britain's few true statesmen vs a lousy comedian who's been taken in by totally dated utopian socialism. What is it with these weird, random debates the Brits have? First Peter Hitchens defended his asinine support of the drug war with Matthew fucking Perry of all people, now this. At least this was a show with a panel, I guess.

Also, am I the only one tired of these political talk shows where the audiences feel the need to clap like trained seals when some twit gives them a soundbite they like?

My favourite part was when Russell Brand was bloviating about tracking down lost revenues from the banking industry as if that could meet the massive budget shortfall. You just have to shake your head.

Nigel Farage runs the UK Independence Party more commonly known as UKIP. They're a party trying to reclaim the Thatcherite legacy the Conservatives have pissed away in the decades since her administration. He's famous for chewing out Herman Van Rompuy, the President of the European Council (the head apparatchik of the EU) in many videos that went viral. UKIP is seeing a surge in popularity, as they're the only party in the UK that talks even a little bit of sense.

Russel Brand is a shitty comedic actor who became enamored with utopian socialist rhetoric somewhere along the line. For some inexplicable reason, people now take him seriously as a political commentator despite the fact that he has the intelligence of a damp sock and the political mentality of a trade unionist from the 1920s.
