Sounds like his benefactor is just as potty as he is!

naomi
Does bear out the truth in "more money than sense" but I do wonder about the veracity of this story

[tonyav]

Monster Raving Loony party springs to mind, naomi ;-)

Did hear on BBC earlier that Ed Miliband was seen going into Brands house last night!

Probably after advice then, Baldric.

tony, i don't think the 3rd earl of harrow would have entertained russell brand in his esteemed political party.....

[naomi24]

Neither do I. :o)

[tonyav]

LOL, an excellent point mushroom that I overlooked.

[ichkeria]

He isn't standing but Al Murray is of course :-)

[tonyav]

Maybe Russell ought to help Al out by donating the £400,000 to him, after all every little bit helps.
