I simply cannot stand this loser. What a hypocrite (but then he is of the Left so that is simply presumed, I suppose).

"He lives in a £2million home owned by a firm based in a tax haven.

But Russell Brand objected angrily when accused of hypocrisy as he took part in his latest anti-capitalist crusade – a demand for more low-cost housing.

The multi-millionaire comedian and self-styled revolutionary flew into a rage when it was suggested he is part of the housing problem.

Brand, who was helping deliver a petition on affordable housing to 10 Downing Street on Monday, accused the Channel 4 News journalist of being a ‘snide’.

Asked the value of the house he lived in, he replied that his home is rented but refused to give any indication of what he pays.

Brand, who is estimated to be worth £9million thanks to his comedy shows, films and books, is understood to live in a chic fourth-storey flat in a converted warehouse in East London, paying around £5,000 a month in rent.

The three-bedroom property with roof terrace, in the heart of trendy Shoreditch, is worth about £2million and is owned by a property firm based in the British Virgin Islands.

With the national average wage only around £2,000 a month before tax, renting it would be well beyond the reach of most people.

But Brand, whose current best-selling book Revolution is an anti-capitalist diatribe, became aggressively defensive when O’Brien questioned him.

Asked about the value of his home, the 39-year-old angrily replied: ‘I’m not interested in talking to you about my rent, mate. I’m here to support a very important campaign.’

Accused of being ‘part of the problem’ of rocketing housing prices, Brand, 39, said: ‘I am part of the solution.’

He suggested his fame meant he was able to ‘amplify the voices of ordinary people’.

Asked again about his house, Brand pointed his finger in O’Brien’s face and said: ‘It’s rented. We don’t know the value, you would have to talk to my landlord. Blessedly, I can afford my rent and I’m prepared to stand up for people that can’t.’ "

Some must see pictures of this cretin at link showing his anger at being challenged (how dare that reporter?) and Brand being more than a bit aggressive.

Addendum: Just discovered this same story is covered by The Blaze and there is a video of the confrontation between Brand and the reporter. Brand is petulant and angry, the reporter amused.
