Russell Brand: Who's F*cking Us Over - HSBC Or Immigrants?



Russell Brand slams corrupt banks: People need to remember who is really ‘f*cking them over’

Raw Story
12 Feb 2015 at 10:07 ET

On the latest episode of The Trews, British comedian and social activist Russell Brand attacked “the people in our society who exploit us — massive transnational banking corporations.”

Brand is particularly irate over learning that banking conglomerate HSBC helped its clients “dodge millions in tax.”

“The real exploiters — the people who are really stealing from us — have carte blanche to sneak around, because [the media] doesn’t give it the same focus and attention,” he said.

“Remember,” Brand continued, “HSBC laundered money for Mexican drug cartels. Did anyone ask, ‘Well, should you be laundering money for Mexican drug cartels?’ No. ‘Are you going to be doing anything about it?’ Also, no.”
