Russell Brand tells Ireland to skip work on Wednesday and march against water charges

Comedian-turned-activist Russell Brand has called on Irish people to skip work this Wednesday and march against water charges instead.

In a special edition of his YouTube show "The Trews" (the true news), Brand hosts Brendan Ogle of the Unite trade union in a discussion about water charges in Ireland.

The video titled "Ireland! Care About Water? Bunk Work Wednesday!" was released this evening.
