Russell Brand talks water charges

And the 'Double Irish' taxation strategy, which is no more.

Newly-minted political polemicist Russell Brand (remember when he used to be a comedian?) has turned his attention to the issue of water charges in the latest edition of his regular YouTube broadcast.

Addressing his legions of followers in episode 189 of 'The Trews' - true news, geddit - Brand compares the upcoming water charges, and associated disquiet, with Ireland's tax strategy for multinational corporations.

With a dodgy Irish accent, but we'll ignore that for the minute.

Anyway, have a listen and see what you think.

Is Russell talking sense, or is he just blowing off steam?

What do you think?
