Crude, Arrogant, AMAZING: Russell Brand and Nigel Farage On Question Time

Russell Brand and Nigel Farage’s Verbal Beatdown

Viewers watching BBC1’s “Question Time” were in for quite the television event last night as Russell Brand and Nigel Farage took to the floor duking it out in what will most certainly be an appearance to be talked about for years to come.

Blue Haired Women, Sexism and An Insult For The Ages

Currently trending on The UK Independent as the number one most talked about thing in the UK this morning, The Independent discussed the situation in an article titled “Video: Russell Brand calls Nigel Farage a pound shop Enoch Powell” [1]:

There were several great moments on tonight’s Question Time.

One involved a blue-haired woman in the audience heckling Nigel Farage. Another was when Russell Brand interrupted Penny Mordaunt MP, called her “love”, and then said he was “working” on his sexist language.

But the best one of all was when Brand called Farage as a “pound shop Enoch Powell”.

“I enjoy seeing Nigel Farage in a boozer with a pint and a fag, laughing off his latest scandal about breastfeeding or whatever, I enjoy it. But this man is not a cartoon character. He ain’t Dell Boy. He ain’t Arthur Daley. He is a pound shop Enoch Powell and we’ve got to watch him,” he said.
