Is that the yardstick he should be measured with though? Most of us speak more sense than most MPs!

In a week when the news has been dominated by huge events such as the sacking of Jeremy Clarkson and the leaving of One Direction of Zayn Whatshisface, another shattering piece of news. Russell Brand has been voted 4th most influential thinker in the world by readers of current affairs magazine, Prospect.

Shame he didn't think of that before he launched his tirade and fist. But then why would he. His steak and chips were far more important.

Chin up Bearsy, at least the rest will continue to fly the flag!

I bet the remaining singular direction bros are happy. More cash and crumpet all round! Surprised Harry hasn't gone solo yet.

Fair point!

Yep, can't wait to live in a land where I am subservient to someone like George W Bush or Ronald Reagan.

Still struggling with the logistics here. Sarnia is a Brit but lives in Canada yet strongly supports the USA?

Worst suicide case ever.

They could probably make a lot of money from the outtakes!!

Its all supposition at the moment but the fact that a pilot was locked out doesn't sound good. As the decent was controlled I guess the passengers would have been conscious at point of impact? What a nightmare.

I really don't know. I had my haircut by a Turkish guy yesterday. He had poor English but he kept saying he thought it was a terrorist action. At that point I was assuming it was just a tragic accident but didn't know about the locked door. Perhaps it wasn't planned and a spur of the moment thing by the pilot? As you say, it doesn't add up at all.

I think his point is not suicide as such but a deliberate action (as in a terrorist attack).

Evidence?

Yep total c*ck. Could easily have got through the 2nd WW without him.

Really makes you wonder how we managed to stay at 4th for such a long time with such cr@p players.

Never been sure about what constitutes a big club? Trophy cabinet? Crowds? Turn over? Leeds to me used to be a massive club but what have they won in years? Wolves too. There are plenty of "big clubs" in the Championship and League 1. Does that mean they are still big?

Not sure how this works as on second bottle of red but Alpine Saint = Morrissey

He is still responsible for the way The Sun covered the tragedy. Trying to palm it off now doesn't cut it for me.

Clarkson

Is ok to call people slopes and n*ggers and hit people in the mouth after the watershed?

Neither you or I were there. I don't know how bad it was but you seem to be suggesting that it was just a scratch.

Perhaps Clarkson can now get together with Ross and Brand and start a new programme where all they do is insult people?
