I knew GB News was aimed at the dregs of humanity but didn't think they were this warped.

I watched completely it over a couple of days. I concluded he is an egomaniacal sex addict who had been feted by the mainstream media (including the fucking Guardian). Typical premise of when you're making money for the big TV corporations, they let you get away with anything, Savile, Harris etc.

I've seen the documentary.
It's a shame how it's all gone because he was quite radically different from most people on TV and seemed to have a good heart. But he's turned out to be just another 21st century cockroach / sociopath. God knows what goes on in these people's heads.

From reading a biography many moons ago I seem to recall he had a less than perfect childhood. Famously addicted to all sorts

All these people should really be viewed equally and purely on the evidence. From the short time I watched which covered the LA rape allegations and the texts from Brand apologising and the victim immediately texting back "No, means no" and going to a rape clinic the very next day, it does seem very damning. Yes, quite. There was a long thread about Brand on the old TalkPunk board, in which I was the only person who criticised him for his posturing and hypocrisy and identified him as a wrong 'un. Everybody else, including Lord E, was defending him, as at the time he was saying all the things that appeal to left-wingers. In particular, he was campaigning against gentrification pushing working-class people out of east London, whilst living in a recently gentrified area himself – in other words, campaigning against a problem that he himself had helped to cause. Yet people fell for it, as they always do – to the Left, what people say is more important than what they do and blatant hypocrisy can always be excused. Similarly, there was recently a Guardian article in which several Labour politicians argued against private education. One of the below-the-line commentators pointed out that most of those politicians sent their kids to private school. Cue the usual hand-wringing arguments stating that those people were only sending their children to private schools because they had no choice while private schools exist, and that there was nothing unreasonable about their behaviour. Brand is simply a hollow creature who is extremely adept at playing the media. I suspect that the only genuine thing about him is his huge appetite for women – preferably timid and submissive.

He had me fooled when he first emerged - he's gone badly wrong in the last few years and, it appears, was already pretty wrong when he seemed like he might be alright
