On my Facebook page “Brian Jones, the final truth’ I posted evidence showing the London Drugs Squad planned to raid Cotchford farm in August 1969. Spanish Tony provided Brian the drugs and he provided the Drugs Squad this information. Tony informed Keylock about the upcoming raid and they knew this final raid would finish off Brian for good. He was without proper legal aid and money. This created a certain mood at Cotchford: let’s get the bastard, because the authorities were going to get him anyway.

on the question of Brian being 'fired'..
isnt it true that he was ready to leave the band? he was already involved in the next phase of his music and post-Stones efforts..?
when Keith, Charlie and Mick went to discuss this with him, it was to arrange the settlement terms and decide how they would go about releasing this news..?

The book will come with an exclusive Keith Richards foreword :
"Brian was a bastard. Good riddance!"
KR
'Yer fired, ya cock.' (Heard Keith say that in some interview).
No you didn't!
In 25X5 he says "Look cock, you're fired".
You need to understand English vernacular, in this context "cock" is actually a term of endearment.
It wasn't unusual to hear my Auntie Gladys say something like "'Ello luv! Y'all right cock?"

so Brian didn't want out of the Stones? was he trying to stay in the band, after all?

Of course. But it wore him down and of course he was totally emasculated by Keith who in turn was to be emasculated by Mick. Let’s not pretend otherwise. This is why boy bands have managers hired by the record company. Mick obviously treated the band as one of many possible arenas for him and the members can be replaced(see Ronnie the potential new Keith in 1975). Brian and Keith had nothing else. It’s a business.

Yeah but i see that as an escape (going to Morocco). Brian was of course emasculated when he ”lost” Anita to Keith. No need to downplay that. The guy was a stud and a force up until that moment despite his ups n downs. Different guy afterwards. The busts and the drugs didnt help.

Still not sure why Brian couldn't pull himself together in 1969.
