Good for Russell! That is an excellent and important article!

'Tis indeed!

I watched Spooks Run Wild again today - it makes so much more sense now I know who the East Street KIds are / were!

Yes, it's a fun movie -- not one of Bela's classics but still enjoyable.

Russell AMAZES me every time I watch, listen, or read him.

I can't believe that people are still talking like that.

I think he's fab, even though he divides the critics. People either seem to love him or hate him.

I'd juggle his ballbags any day!

Interesting... but then, nothing that doesn't happen all the time. Good that it's Russel saying it (because he's "cool" at the minute) but... I don't know. It just wears me out. x

Oh yeah, I KNOW this stuff happens, I've had some pretty unpleasant remarks in my time...and I'm sure Mat & Laurence have even worse tales....

I know what you mean about it wearing you out...but it's not a battle that YOU need to fight right now, I'm sure you have enough on your plate already! I think you do sterling work campaigning for the rights of women, sex-workers, survivors of domestic violence etc. And you have your own precarious health to consider. You do ENOUGH, believe me.

Some people, like these bouncers, are just WANKERS and they will always be WANKERS, no matter what you or I say or do. But maybe one day, they won't be able to find employment.....change takes time. But I do believe it will happen.

For one horrible moment I thought you were talking about Russell Grant.

That is an excellent article though - it's great to see people standing up for themselves.

Yes, I want to marry Russell Grant - LMAO! Lovely though he is, he doesn't quite have the 'phwoar'factor of Mr Brand!

I'm very interested in disability rights, as I have chronic health problems, and sometimes use a wheelchair.

I'm hoping to see Russell Brand live in my hometown of Salisbury in November!
