What is he actually saying (new)?
Why does he have to be saying something new? Not all know things have been tried. Not all people have heard and considered all the things that have already been said.

For Kev:
Why does he have to be saying something new? Not all know things have been tried. Not all people have heard and considered all the things that have already been said.
Sorry, what I meant (and why there were two further questions): The complaints he's raising are not new (largely issues around inequality). So you would think he'd be proposing solutions. I haven't seen these yet (but maybe I'm not looking hard enough). So he continues to raise the same issues which most people are aware about (and have been since at least the emergence of the Occupy movement), but I'm not seeing any solutions being offered. This is the critique of him. He's a bit of a windbag. The Ukip of the left.
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.
