Russell Brand is English and a comedian. Who better to comment on such a royal mess. Kate Middleton is missing. Brand hopes it’s frivolous but could be sinister. One popular theory being history is repeating itself; this Princess is living out what the previous Princess did. That does not portend well. And to think she behaved so well – either way; doomed.
Yet another example of institutional powers incapable of keeping up with the brave new world. Brand says we’re too awakened, too aware, too switched on, impossible to control.
It’s a chaotic time, the era of the amateur, everyday is slightly insane. Or as Dorothy Parker used to say, “What Fresh Hell is This”.
