Knowing words of more than two syllables is only impressive on 8 out of 10 cats. Paxman looked like he was torn between laughing right in Brand's stupid face, thinking about retiring mid-interview and wishing he was allowed to go Full Paxo and see if he could induce a Ben Swain-esque megablink.

Very true
but my problem with Brand's nonsense is that he understands not only more than the average voter but probably more than many who actually follow politics, and yet he bangs on about this ludicrous utopia instead of making reasonable suggestions that people might even listen to given his ill-deserved celebrity status.

Also if you've never voted you have no right to complain about those who are elected.

Can you imagine how long a bath he'd need to take to be suitably decontaminated?
The subsequent pruning would make it like being pounded by a manatee
