Russell Brand Tells Cambridge Students "Shut Up You Harry Potter Poofs" At Cambridge Union

Russell Brand appears to be on a political mission, but he is not going to win many people over to his side of thinking with comments such as these.

Brand is well known for his honesty when it comes to opinions, and his sharp tongue struck again... this time in the Cambridge Union Society, at which he was a guest speaker. During this visit he told the educated students to "shut up you Harry Potter poofs", not so articulate for a man who claims to have the ideal solution to the political issues of late.

Everyone knows Russell Brand as a comedian/actor, in which he can use offensive humour repeatedly and nobody would bat an eyelid, however while discussing politics and specifically HIS views on politics this is not going to win over those listening.

Of course this was meant in jest, and it is amusing... but if a figure such as himself wishes to be respected in the world of politics, this is not the way forward.
