Russell Brand on the Government and an 'Underclass'

Very recently (23/10/13), Russell Brand came forward to discuss the issues that he feels are causing the destruction of the society in the UK. Brand debates, or even argues, with Jeremy Paxman about how Britain's government has created a 'disenfranchised, disillusioned underclass' that it fails to serve. The issues raised in the interview show that the themes in the 'Mr. President' music video are still current issues that are very much real and happen to people all over the country. Brand covers several of the topics that I and the other member of my group hope to show in the music video, in particular, the lies and deceit of the political class that has a directly negative effect on the lower echelons of society. Additionally, the discussion about UK politics links in with the consumerism and social inequality that can be heard on the sample for 'Mr. President', as Brand suggested that politicians only service the needs of corporations whilst ignoring those who are on the outskirts of society.
