Brilliant Mad Men

I watched the recent BBC Question Time encounter between Russell Brand and Nigel Farage which was a big disappointment I have to say.

A direct encounter between the two would have been much more entertaining and, as things turned out, members of the audience proved to be much more effective at getting things off their chests.

I enjoyed the comments of one columnist who observed, in relation to Russell Brand:

"It's true that they've called a lot of brilliant men in history 'mad' but, as Dudley Moore once noted, they called a lot of mad people mad, too."

Now that is funny and isn't it wonderful that one half of Pete 'n' Dud managed to come up with such a telling insight into the world of modern politics.
