He’s never shy about expressing an opinion

Russell Brand seems to divide opinion like no other comic does because any fans of West Ham’s most famous supporter will argue that he’s fearless, articulate and brave while his detractors will say that he’s a bit of a knob (pardon my crude way of diluting that point)

The comic posted an extract from his recent book and the timing is far from coincidental given the recent newspaper reports that surfaced over the weekend.
