Nigel Farage reveals his ‘UPSETTING’ encounter with Russell Brand

Nigel Farage has recalled the moment when he 'upset' Russell Brand after the pair's now infamous clash on BBC's Question Time.

Reacting to the clip, Farage said: "What really upset him was that I wrote a piece immediately coming off stage...

"The last thing I saw of Russell Brand before he went onto that set was his two personal makeup artists combing his chest hair so that it looked right on the television. That didn't please him!"

Farage. What’s happening is Orwellian.

That was when being described as a poundshop Enoch Powell was intended as an applaudable put-down. Today, few could disagree with any conviction that Powell was a scandalously underappreciated prophet.

[RogueWJL]

Nigel, when MPs are getting involved NOW and trying to close him down, that should concern you.

[championnc]

He obviously knew nothing about Enoch Powell.

[johnclegg]

Has Nigel not just been attacked and slandered with his private business told to the world? While being proven innocent of the lies told?

[hansteeuwen]

Russel Brand is an insufferable vain poser BUT he should not be destroyed until we know the truth about his behavior.

[kevinb]

I remember. I rather dislike Brand because of these times, but that's irrelevant to the principle of him being treated unfairly now.

[gutz]

Where is the moment he got "upset"? More politicians coming out trying to silence this man.

Caroline Disengage has written a letter to Rumble asking them to cancel Russel Brand! Like who on Earth does she think she is to do this?!
Rumble have written a stunning response in return 😂 absolutely phenomenal! Much respect to Rumble who support free speech!
Whether you like Russ Brand or not, this is another establishment stitch up.

We all got behind Nigel now Nigel laying the boot in on Russell..what have chest hairs got to do with anything?

[cocos]

Debanking is the exact same as Demonetising your online business.

Funny how Russell Brand came out on Farage's side during that little 'de-banking' episode of accounts being closed. And yet Farage does not seem to be returning the favour...

[peteram]

Too many people make a judgment based on thier like or dislike of someone rather than what is said. Brand has upset some big people and they are trying to take him down very possibly involving the same people closing bank accounts down. Nothing to joke about when they are making people fearful of expressing thier views.

[lloydgermin]

Even Nigel is under intense pressure to ridicule Russell Brand. This must be a huge priority for the Elite, they're afraid as the public worldwide is on Russell Brand's side.

[nightowl]

Oh, how those lefturds idolised him at the time. 🤣😂

[Adam-moqw]

Wow they are all bundling in...

The media embraced him as he was. Now attacking him for his past.

Innocent until proven guilty.

[chelseakev]

Thing is Brand's being banned on most social media platforms but he's more popular than ever 😂

[andrewchapman]

Not a good time to make digs against Russel Brand. Farage should be asking whether digging up his sinful past crimes/misdemeanours/very bad behaviour now has anything to do with his shift to the right.

[seandilallo]

Are you sure he was angry? "Poundshop Enoch Powell" sounds like a great compliment to me.

[wdsmauglir]

It’s called free speech, people may not like it, but just as Mr Brand had the right to insult Nigel, Nigel has the right to criticise back regardless of the timing…people in this country really need to think before saying ‘he/she shouldn’t say things’ it’s our right, let’s not lose it on the alter of PC!
