RUSSELL Brand has called Friday's minute's silence for the victims of the Tunisia beach massacre "total bulls**t", suggesting the UK government's foreign policy caused the attack which killed at least 29 Britons.
On a video in his YouTube channel he said: "There's no point in having a minute's silence on Friday - it's a minute of bullsh*t.
"As long as during that time, they [the Government] continue to sell arms, they continue to bomb foreign countries - they have no interest in a solution.
"They are only interest is perpetuating the problem and continuing to profit from it."
David Cameron announced that a national minute's silence would be held on Friday, a week after 23-year-old student Seifeddine Rezgui opened fire on holidaymakers, killing at least 29 Britons.
Brand added: "Britain has been engaged in foreign activity in Muslim countries which obviously provokes this kind of response."
