That super-secret meeting between Ed Miliband, and Russell Brand that the UK media have been hyperventilating over ? Turns out, it was...an interview. Ed Miliband gave an interview to a celebrity known for his outspoken political views, who happens to have over a million subscribers on YouTube. Shock horror ! And thanks to all the breathless media coverage, the number of people watching is probably about to go up even more. Thanks, news-media...
Update: Well, that was a whole bunch of nothing. Here's a summary to save you sixteen minutes of your life:
Brand: Asks questions, tries to get Ed to say anything concrete.
Ed: Blah, blah, blah, blah. Change is hard. Blah, blah, blah.
But yeah. He showed up. So there's that.
Update: So turns out Brand did endorse Labour after all, which helps precisely no-one. Sigh.
