He was one of those early grifters who saw the transition to para-politics and then God as a means of making a brand (of Brand).
That anyone ever took his spirituaity or politics or his cringe comedy or acting seriously is beyond me.
They had PILES of his Bookie-Wookie in Waterstones once.

I think the news media needs to stop pretending he’s still (or ever was?) a comedian.

I had multiple friends who dressed like him and used his affectations during his peak popularity in the noughties. No SA’s though fortunately.
Looking back it was pretty much like a license to act more camp in public.

I never understood his appeal. He’s just vulgar. It’s not funny. His assurance in a couple otherwise good movies really ruins it.
