He's younger than I imagined. He has some fans on here I understand. A large book, and in it he's in favour of redistributing wealth. He recommends that everyone be given an 'endowment' on their 25th birthday of about 120.000 euro to spend as they wish - education or start a business etc. When challenged about this concept, he defended it by saying - 'what about the rich people who are given millions' ?
They say he's very clever. . . .
As well as being described wrongly - it stinks of tobacco. It's going back.
Quite right too. I once bought some books via ebay where it was a collect only deal. When I picked them up the lady who was selling them had them all nicely parceled up and said they used to be her husbands collection but sadly he had died of a chest complaint. Back home on opening them up they absolutely reeked of tobacco smoke. I knew immediately what his complaint was.
A copy is on its way to Tripps Towers - of course.
