Quote:
Comedian Russell Brand has refused to comment on suggestions he could mount a bid to become mayor of London.

Brand, who previously described voting as a waste of time, has told close friends he wants to succeed Tory Boris Johnson in 2016, according to the Mail on Sunday.

He is reportedly considering standing on an independent “anti-politics” ticket.

A spokeswoman for the comic and actor said: “We are not commenting.”

Brand’s new book, Revolution, includes some clues as to his platform, should he decide to be a candidate.

He admits he “can’t get my head around economics”, declares his support for “collectives”, and wants to ban fracking and the monarchy.

Nominations for the London mayoral election will not close until around five weeks before the contest in May 2016.

That's the height of the 'story'.

Might as well, he's shag-happy, has mad hair and comes out with all sorts of things - he's just like Boris.

You know, I'd actually love that. Mainly because the utter car crash it would inevitably turn into wouldn't affect me but it would put an end to all this b*ll*cks about him actually having any idea of what he's talking about.

That's where we're at - Boris, the BNP, UKIP (I'm not equating anyone here), the brief rise and fall of the Lib Dems... Anyone who remotely stands out even in their own party gets given a shot now the public are so sick of the big two drone factories. It's happening to a lesser extent even in NI. And Salmond damn near extricated Scotland because of it.
