Russell Brand has added his perspective and commentary to the burgeoning global discussion around the Sydney Siege.
To the surprise of no one that we know – and we know thousands, all of whom we've spoken to individually about this – he weaves his well-worn, anti-establishment, voice of reason into a narrative certain to increase his following. In some quarters.
Also unsurprisingly, the ususal suspects of Tony Abbott, Rupert Murdoch and the CIA all feature heavily in the piece which supports the notion that there's a Big Brother machine narrative being forced upon us stupid people by powers of whom we need to be ever watchful.
Fortunately, for right-thinking, intelligent types, Russell Brand sees through it all.

PS: What the hell was Rupert Murdoch thinking with his tweeted congrats to the Tele? Apart from poor taste (also surprise factor zero), one can only wonder how Murdoch classifies various news organisations' video footage of the end of the seige?
