The political conversation on sharing is growing by the day, sometimes from the unlikeliest of quarters. Take Russell Brand, for example, the comedian-cum-activist and revolutionary. It’s easy to dismiss Brand’s polysyllabic and self-referential meanderings, as do most of the establishment media in the USA and Britain, but this only serves to disregard his flashes of wisdom and the reasons for his popularity.

Ever since Russell Brand told you ‘not to vote’ (which he never did), the comedian-turned-activist has rarely been out of the news. Since then, he’s claimed 9/11 was an ‘inside job’ (except he didn’t), ‘attacked a journalist’ (that neither) and made light of Hugo Boss’s history as ‘stylist for the Nazis’ (that one’s true, but it’s a fact, so it’s fair game really). The important thing about these stories is not just that they’re non-truths grown by the mainstream media from vague kernels of truth, but that these stories and others have been used to influence how you feel about Russell Brand on a personal level, as opposed to how you feel about his concerns. Consider C4 reporter Paraic O’Brien turning up to a Brand-supported, Downing Street-set protest objecting to a group of single mums being turfed out of their homes by the UK’s richest MP and asking Brand, “What kind of rent are you paying?”.

Scholars have long debated the genesis of the Pied Piper, whose story was first broadcast via stained-glass window, circa 1300. Was he a symbol of a plague that carried off the youths of the German town of Hamelin? Were the children drafted into some kind of crusade? Or is the myth a migration metaphor? In any case, the tale seems to have lost its original relevance (though, for New Yorkers, a guy who can make rats disappear doesn’t sound half bad). Enter Russell Brand.
