Russell Brand gets thrown out of GQ awards for Nazi jokes aimed at Hugo Boss

Yes! Doesn't get enough props for his intelligence. The media like to make it look as though he is stupid, but if they were face to face with him he'd tear them to shreds.

Where did you pull that statement from?

He didn't say the foreign secretary should be working 24/7. Nor did he imply it. He was having a dig at the civil servant funded by tax payers money in charge of dealing with foreign affairs attending an irrelevant award ceremony whilst "**** needs sorted out abroad"... In foreign countries...

Sure, "**** needs sorted out abroad", but if Hague's entitled to spend his time off however he likes. If he's taking time out of work, or receiving tax payer's money for being there, then fine, the criticism is valid. My point was that if you don't expect him to be working 24/7, then he's allowed time off. If he's allowed time off, then he's allowed to attend the GQ awards in his own time.

That's not the main issue here (working 24/7)... Poor timing is. With the state of his 'department' if you like - maybe some overtime is required eh?

Perhaps (I wonder what rate they get; time and half, double, triple...), but he's not going to solve it in an evening, or even make much progress. If he was going to be sat at home in his slippers for the evening there wouldn't be any issue, I don't really see the difference.

Plus expenses!

And imagine nobody ever done anything about anything because 'it won't be fixed over night anyway'?

Complex problems take time to fix, of course it won't happen overnight. But a good start would be actually focusing on said problem in the first place.

I don't think it was that offensive, but I don't think he's al that either. He's quite overrated.

Russell Brand is a master of dark comedy and irony. If you don't find him funny then I guess you better stick to generic simplistic comedy from Michael McIntyre or one of those rubbish northern TV pundit 'comedians'.
