    He left his single parent home at 16 before turning to drugs. How was he not working class. He’s an ex-drug addict and doesn’t glamourise them at all. I don’t even like him, but the facts are out there.

      What do you think “working class” means?

      You obviously haven’t seen any of his material. He’s built his whole career on drugs. Find a clip where he’s not talking about them.

        You want me to find a clip of Russell Brand not talking about drugs? Wow… impossible.

        Working class is anyone from the social group of unskilled or manual/industrial work. The people who work these jobs and their families/children. Like Russell Brand. He’s not working class anymore, but he just factually was as a child. Weird hill to die on.

          …which proves my point.

          You don’t seem to understand what the argument is about.

            There isn’t an argument, you called him the fakest piece of shit around and then suggested he was some kind of privileged upper class toff pretending to be an Essex urchin. But the obvious reality is he presents himself as he is. You chose the dumbest attack you could have. Attack his politics or something.

              Nope, you need to work on your reading comprehension. You’ll think youve won every time if all you do is straw man.

                Presumably you’re not providing anything substantive like a point or evidence because you know you chatted shit with nothing to back it up.

                  Lol presumably you’re ignoring the actual argument because you can’t handle being wrong

                    You said he wasn’t working class. He was. You said he is a drug addict. He isn’t. You said all his material is about drugs, it obviously isn’t. Just saying falsehoods isn’t an argument.
