In defence of Brand, he's made teenagers normally watching x-factor interested in politics

Really? I´ve heard a few people say that, but seen no actual evidence. Now, the Scottish referendum got a huge number of them active and involved, on both sides (mostly Yes, though). That has lasted (so many of them are pissed off by the result and want to see things change). Other things that have engaged that age group:

1. Occupy. (Brand involvement: nil)
   
2. Anonymous. (Nothing to do with Brand. He turned up last night to get on camera and was booed a bit).
   
3. Kat Banyard and her UK Feminista movement. (Brand involvement: rancid misogynist with a track record of disrespecting women. In his new political booky wook, he tells feminists to shut up until the revolution is over because they´re only distracting people from the ¨real¨ issues. Yes, I have read it. It´s shit.)
   
4. UKIP. Seriously, bunch of loonies that they are, they have a rapidly growing youth wing.
   
   

Sodding UKIP can show more genuine impact on the political awareness of British teenagers than Brand can. That is unlikely to change.
