  1. True.
    Some may find his style off putting.. a bit like Michael Moore
    He's not short of a word or two that's for sure:)

    It would be interesting to find out how effective his 'talks' have been, what the impact (if any) has been on those who've attended his sessions, any change in behaviours, practices, impact on policy etc..

    I wonder if people agree with him in the main or disagree??

  2. I actually really dug the first video. the man talks a truth in a style that leaves no room for doubt. the philosophy of divide and conquer is a dangerous one

  3. He's an interesting guy. I've watched all 6 parts of the lecture and a few other talks he's delivered, and aim to read his book as a result.
    It's somtimes (not often)surprising the number of people who still don't quite get 'divide and rule' who still don't quite get racism.. black- and- white

    I smiled a wry smile a couple of times watching this..
    Well.. I thought.. some people do get it after all
    He's a gifted speaker- very eloquent
