It’s on a par with shouting fire in a crowded place. Russell wasted the time of a police hotline drivelling on down the phone. Gaunt isn’t trying to stop him expressing his beliefs, he’d simply like Russell to let the police try and catch the sex offender/s and go back to reading out the paper on stage.

The Anorak makes it sound like Gaunt wants to stop Russell Brand from making certain wisecracks, instead of wasting police time.

Having said that, I don’t want Russell beaten up. He’s not the classic “bad boy we love”. He’s not funny or original enough for that.

He’s an immature man who made a mistake. He didn’t realise it would go this far and no-one at the gig stood up against what he was doing and said it’s wrong. If he gets arrested then so should everybody there.

M and A

Hope you never need the emergency services, as for your immature man who made a mistake? a mistake dialling 999? He didn’t realise? ah well , some mothers do have em, and his definitely did

I’ve never enjoyed Russell Brand’s sense of humour and if this was a genuine hoax call (is that an oxymoron?) and not just a stage stunt he should be punished for it. As for why the Mirror is going after Jeremy Clarkson, maybe they’re just jealous that they can’t get him to write for them … :-p

I adored Russell Brand until I read this. What a Knob-Head if he really really did this.

Are we sure that he actually did this? He wasn’t pretending to have got through?

Russell shouldn’t have done it - I think a fine would be a good idea.

I do love him but I know the emergency services get enough crank calls and I remember the poor woman in Glasgow who was being followed by a perv and she made emergency calls and didn’t get through and was murdered.

The problem isn’t the sheer idiocy of the hoax, it is the shamless and cynical self promotion, and the lazyness of the joke.

Please ignore my silly previous post. Russell was a pratt and I shouldn’t have made light of it.

Well yes it was a silly think to do and he should be sent to bed early as punishment but Gaunt is a self-opinionated pompous arse with no sense of humour and Russell is the classic bad boy we all love, so…….
