Russell Brand And His Nipples Join London Protests

Tens of thousands of people took to the streets of London yesterday to protest about climate change and the banking system in the run-up to the G20 summit today – and surprisingly among their ranks was Russell Brand. Seemingly confused about the weather — he was wearing a woolly hat but a nipple-flashing shirt — he gave a typically eccentric answer when asked why he was there.

“I always come to these kind of things, I’m very interested. I am interested in learning and interested in why these people have come to this. I wonder what alternatives there are and I think it makes people cogent of them. I think it’s also very beautiful,” he said. While we’re not pinning our politics to any one mast, we’d wonder whether someone who flies around the globe on a regular basis and earns a lot of money from the capitalist system is really best placed to campaign against them both? Just sayin’. [Photo: Splash News Online]
