Russell Brand 'Con-Dems' MSM blackout of 50,000-strong anti-austerity march

RT 2014-06-23
When an anti-austerity march starting from the steps of the BBC fails to make the news, something is rotten in the UK. Speaking with RT, Russell Brand believes that’s to be expected, as people would surely rise up if they saw just how exploited they are.

On Saturday, tens of thousands assembled on the doorstep of the BBC's offices in London to kick off the “No More Austerity” march. The rally was called by The People's Assembly Against Austerity, a broad coalition of groups opposed to the Conservative-Lib Dem government that embraces trade unions and other campaigners.

- And just as protesters attacked the state-run BBC for ignoring the impact of social spending cuts on impoverished people in the UK, their decision to not report on a protest happening right on their doorstep further served to rankle those who feel alienated by the political establishment.

RT's Sara Firth spoke with a number of people at Saturday’s event, including Britain’s most popular celebrity rabble rouser and revolution-peddler: comedian Russell Brand.

When asked why the mainstream media coverage of such events seemed to be lacking, Brand said it all came down to who gets to control the societal narrative.

“- I think that the mainstream media likes to control the parameters of debate so important ideas never reach mainstream ideology.

- Because if people knew what was happening, they wouldn’t tolerate it; if people knew how exploited they were.

- Ignorance is a necessary ingredient for oppression,” he said.

Despite fears that protesting has become an ineffective means of social change, Brand remained philosophical.

“Everything makes a difference in a constantly mutating cosmos, and it will make a positive difference, because we are unifying, so yes.”

When asked if he still wanted a revolution to take place, Brand, who has predicted a “peaceful, effortless, joyful revolution,” said, “Yes.”

Brand, best known for his work as an actor, comedian, television personality and self-effacing Messiah, has become a high-profile poster boy for the disaffected with his anti-system rants and calls for revolution.

And while Brand remained hopeful, Sam Fairbairn, national secretary of the People's Assembly, issued a dire warning: “Make no mistake, these cuts are killing people and destroying cherished public services which have served generations.”

Fairbairn, who addressed the crowd outside Parliament at the end of the march, said that like it or not, the establishment will have to deal with the protesters.

“Soon we will reach a size and influence where neither the BBC nor this austerity government will be able to ignore us.”

Russel Brand: - Fox News sprider extrem terrorpropaganda - "Fox farligare än ISIS"

[...]“When they do these bombings, it creates more insurgents, that’s what creates them,” Brand responded. “

Don’t think of a bomb as going down there and destroying stuff, think of it as like a seed that goes into the ground, and grows insurgents out of it, it creates more terrorism, doing it.”

“So is Fox News,” Brand fired back. “It’s a fanatical terrorist propagandist organization.

This isn’t reasonable, is it? Like the way she’s talking? ‘Bomb them! Bomb them!’ She’s worse … She’s the savage, she’s totally espousing savage values.”

“It’s invective, just incendiary language, just volatile combative, angry language.

That – I’m not being sensational – that is more dangerous than ISIS,” he added. “That’s attitude. That’s far-reaching. That’s affecting millions and millions of people.”[...]
