Something which I didn't hear David Yelland mention when he was wheeled out on the radio last night to comment on Brand's conviction. (Yelland was editor of the Sun, though not at the time of the Shagger of the Year 'awards'.)Oh, it’s just the way he is

Also see the summary in the Grauniad. Brand was very much in plain sight.
