I think we're only missing the answer to No 1.  I don't know the answer but am just wondering if it could be Michael Eavis?

How about Russell Brand, based on a pun worthy of the TEF; he addressed the 50,000 strong anti-austerity march, last weekend....maybe he said somethingabout being an entrepreneur.  Interestingly the march started at the BBC in protest about them being the mouthpiece for the Tory government....strangely there was no mention of the march on BBC news  Smiley
