I have long admired Philip Carr Gomm, and am overjoyed to have just discovered his wordpress blog. I wished a few days ago that I had a better understanding of Russell Brand and the controversy over his famed revolution interview. Prayers are answered:-) I now have a better background in order to form my own opinion. I hope this will also help others to see the broader perspective beyond celebrity leaders vs horizontalist activists. I feel his contribution can fit into horizontalist activism very well. It is simply easier for his ideas to spread because he is a celebrity. Since many of us share so much with his views-his celebrity allows our ideas to be heard more widely-hardly a bad thing:-)
