I went back to mp3s and flacs for my music a few years ago. And quickly followed that up with my own Plex server. Two of the best decisions I’ve ever made. If you’re remotely tech savvy it takes no time at all and having every tv show, film, music, video that has ever released on all of my devices at any time within seconds is pretty sweet, for near-free

You complain at me having no argument, yet you’ve clearly conceded whatever yours was as you’ve provided nothing of substance.

You can just make shit up. The reality is literally written down above these messages.

I’ve not said anything positive about him, but OK. At least you’ve admitted you were wrong.

So a single mother with no qualifications living in Grays, a grim Essex town and raising her son by herself is what? Middle class? I don’t know why you’re so desperate to gatekeep being poor.

I haven’t provided a clip of him NOT talking about drugs because that is such a dumbfuck statement.as to not warrant a real response but if you insist;

Gosh he just can’t shut up about them can he? Actually he can and most of the time he isn’t talking about drugs. Shocker.

OBVIOUSLY at the point of being a film star he was no longer working class. Jesus. I’ve never said he is CURRENTLY working class, but he is not Working Class in income only. And because Working Class is an amorphous social group, he has more of a claim to it than many other people. Therefore he is a working class man from Essex who became rich and famous. I think you’re the one who needs to go to school if you need it spelt out for you so laboriously. His mannerisms and experience and outward appearance are a result of his working class upbringing, money doesn’t suddenly give you an RP accent and a Habsburg’s Jaw.

You said he wasn’t working class. He was. You said he is a drug addict. He isn’t. You said all his material is about drugs, it obviously isn’t. Just saying falsehoods isn’t an argument.

Presumably you’re not providing anything substantive like a point or evidence because you know you chatted shit with nothing to back it up.

There isn’t an argument, you called him the fakest piece of shit around and then suggested he was some kind of privileged upper class toff pretending to be an Essex urchin. But the obvious reality is he presents himself as he is. You chose the dumbest attack you could have. Attack his politics or something.

You want me to find a clip of Russell Brand not talking about drugs? Wow… impossible.

Working class is anyone from the social group of unskilled or manual/industrial work. The people who work these jobs and their families/children. Like Russell Brand. He’s not working class anymore, but he just factually was as a child. Weird hill to die on.

He left his single parent home at 16 before turning to drugs. How was he not working class. He’s an ex-drug addict and doesn’t glamourise them at all. I don’t even like him, but the facts are out there.

He is a working class person from Essex. He’s not pretending to be anything he isn’t, except arguably an intellectual. No need to be so vitriolic.
