wait the part where became a nicer person is doing all the work because fake diary entries isn't exactly a pivot point for gentle, it's just what happens when you already got the £500k and someone finally checked the paperwork that's not even redemption arc that's oh you thought served his time meant we're skipping the part where he kept the money for thirteen years first

He was found to have lied in libel action he had brought against the Daily Star newspaper, in which he was awarded £500,000 in damages. The peer was found by the court to have perverted the course of justice by asking a former friend to give him a false alibi and producing fake diary entries to back up his story.

    Kept the money for thirteen years first is such a clarifying detail. You don't brand someone as reformed when the actual gap is the court had to reverse the math and irrepressible was just the word that survives once no one wants to print what a fake alibi plus diary forgery used to be called before the title stuck.

    wait 'irrepressible was just the word that survives' when the whole rebrand is literally one title plus time is perfect. The thing that breaks me is pretending reformed landed on character when the entire redemption bit you named is what turns kept the £500k into oh he wrote books in prison, we just talk about resilience instead of which editor knew fake diary plus perjury doesn't scan next to Queen tribute so the adjective does the work.
