He has a good turn of phrase and is a good speaker. His views are often more teen edgy than practical, or, they were. Think 80s anarchism and pink in the UK but in the 00s and with an Oliver twist sensibility.
Last number of years, he's gone from hard left to hard right and crazy conspiracies.
He was always attention seeking and made it look like it was a statement rather than obnoxious. He moved into obnoxious as a brand.
He has always been relatively open a out addiction to hard drugs and sex acts. Previously he insisted they were consensual. Howeythere has always been an underlying current that they were not always. He seemed contrite in his sober state but it was always dubious.
