Russell Brand slates Olympics

Los Angeles - Russell Brand thinks the London 2012 Olympics will be a disaster.

The comedic actor admitted that he thinks China did a great job of hosting four years ago and the British are not good at organisation.

He told America's Conan O'Brien: "China did such a great job. We are too clumsy, we are too self-effacing as you know with the English the politeness masks deep sexual deviance.

"I think we are under a lot of pressure, because China were clearly able to demonstrate the opening ceremony that 'we can make all these people do the exact same thing at once - don't you dare get in a war with us.'"

He continued: "I like England and I am from there. But when it involves organisation it is going to be a right balls up.

"Things will catch fire and people will be tripping over things, then it will start raining and the Queen will do a fart."

'It is time for a bloody revolution'

Russell also admitted that he did not celebrate Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee this month.

He admitted: "It is hypocritical, isn't it? We will rise up. I say it is time for a bloody revolution. Some people are into it and it only takes one to chop off someone's head.

"People need to have things to celebrate otherwise people realise we are oppressed and unable to express ourselves freely because we are at the behest of all these corporate entities.

"So yeah they have a party to distract us from the fact we are being tyrannised."
