He has a gold disc on his wall for selling in excess of 100,000 albums in the UK alone, which is fairly respectable.
He's a strange character, indeed. But there's not a shred of evidence against him on those grounds, and if there was he'd be serving time right now, not taking his seat in parliament. He bitch-slapped the entire US Senate single-handedly, which is worthy of praise in my book. And when you look at the supposed documentation that was used against him, the references to him aren't even in the same font as the rest of it.
But other than that, he called on British troops to "refuse to obey illegal orders", and he had a point given that there was never any UN mandate. He called for economic sanctions against Iraq to be lifted, and had several meetings with Saddam. Britain spent years arming Saddam when it was presumed that Iran was the greater threat, so I don't think that's as much of an issue as it would seem. I do think there could well be more that's revealed at some point in the future, but as of yet, he's done nothing wrong other than stand by his own principles.
