Like him or loathe him, I am thankful there are popular figures like Russell Brand* to kick up some much needed debate and discussion, to re-engage people with politics (oh the irony!):
Russell’s article in the Newstatesman magazine (Russell Brand on revolution: “We no longer have the luxury of tradition”) and his interview with Jeremey Paxmann (video below) has sparked many a political commentator to completely miss the boat. UPDATE: The interviewer himself has now chimed in with his thoughts on Brand’s premise – “Paxman: Brand was right over public’s disgust at ‘tawdry pretences’ of politics” Brand’s article is lengthy and filled with some words I would need to google (but didn’t).

We loaded up the Thule bicycle trailer with our four bicycles and drove off to Putney, a place recommended by a friend as a reasonable distance from the centre to get free parking and have a ride in. It was about 6 miles – a reasonable effort and a good warm-up for the 8 mile loop ahead. Thankfully our family is used to cycling amongst people driving cars – but it wasn’t long until both Tolii and Tosha started asking when we would reach the part without traffic. » Continue reading The stress and the joy of cycling to London » I’ve moved my bicycle campaigning articles to a dedicated website.
