I can't stand him. I understand what he's saying and some makes sense, some doesn't, but I like him more after seeing the media slag him off above and beyond what's necessary. The Sunday Times reviewed his book and called him a hypocrite for, er, earning money, and The Mail said:
"Brand attended a protest at billionaire property developers' plans for East London, conveniently forgetting he owns TWO houses"!
Eh? What was he supposed to do, carry a sign saying "I have two houses"?

He took the joke with good humour and put out a pretty clever video. Good on him. But it avoids the larger critique. What is he actually saying (new)? What is he aiming to achieve? What is he claiming needs to be done? His pseudo-intellectual sex-powered-populism is not a solution as far as I can tell.
