There was an STW question some 15 years ago about people in showbusiness we do not like and I named him and was criticised for not understanding his comedy genius. But the thing is I knew someone like him once - who was equally charismatic in the city centre bar he worked - he got a lot of attention and was fairly dodgy.
Seems a random thing to put out in front of a court case.
Was he speaking from behind the presidential lectern?

No idea what put me off
Because he was never funny?
There’s quite a few so-called ‘comedians’ around who I can’t bear to watch, Michael McIntyre being a particularly unfunny example, running around the stage talking very loudly, yet never saying anything that is actually funny, but Brand always looked greasy and dirty, and in need of being hosed down and scrubbed with a floor brush and industrial strength disinfectant; without knowing anything about his podcasts or anything like that, it was an instinctive sense of revulsion, which now seems to be based on fact.
