Channel Four on Russell Brand

I didn't know Channel 4 was government-owned. Unlike the BBC, which is funded by the population of viewers paying a licence fee, Channel 4 is funded entirely by advertising "and the station is now owned and operated by Channel Four Television Corporation, a public corporation of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, which was established in 1990 and came into operation in 1993." 

The Metropolitan Police spend £850 million every year outsourcing from "corporate partners" who are serviced internally by a team of sixty people who look after the interests of the Metropolitan Police, or the public, because they're the same I suppose. These partners manage real-estate, amongst other things. They have saved £720 million over the last decade, according to this: Keeping London Safe. In Bolivia the police who are paid by the banks have the logo on their stab-vests so at least they're open about it.

Here's Russell Brand on the alt-right platform Rumble:

Subscribe to Russell Brand. Lee Camp is also on Rumble. See his recent piece: on the book Silent Coup: Lee Camp on Chris Hedges' Review of Matt Kennard and Claire Provost‘s book, Silent Coup: How Corporations Overthrew Democracy. Not to be confused with Anya Parampil's book Corporate Coup which is not avalable from Blackwells, but is about the attempted overthrow of Nicolas Maduro's government in Venezuela, which was all my fault, see: Long Complicated Story About Archaeology in Venezuela. For more on that topic, see Darz Rojas Talking About Creativity.
