I didn't mean to demean you, hilarious. All I mean to say is that I don't see this guy as 'brave' etc when he has most likely been put out there by the establishment as a kind of safety valve. After all, what does he really achieve? It's all talk at the end of the day. Meanwhile, we have development workers and charitable volunteers working hard to selflessly achieve things for others around the world, and what sort of public recognition do they receive? Very little, because they are not TV celebrities. For me, it's crazy to miss this fact. Especially when the likes of Quigley and Sutton already gave us the juicy details decades ago. They went much further than Brand ever will.
Ultimately, 'speaking out' on TV doesn't require that much courage. The man is already a multi-millionaire who dominates a certain niche where he can be alternative, but not too alternative. As for his charm, some women like him, some don't. This is not a big issue for me. I accept I will never be a TV or Hollywood star. Again, this is not a big issue for me. Not everybody wants to have that life. Why are you so quick to accuse people of jealousy?
As for MI7 and the BBC, the material is out there. I'm sure if you dig around you'll be able to find it yourself.
