The future is Green - and if that doesn’t work: Lib Dem, Plaid or SNP.

My parents sent me to a private school - but I convinced them later to let me go to a state school because I objected to the private system.
And I still got into science at Cambridge.

Asked why lots of people remember the same thing, he asks why they didn't come forward before
When I point out some of them did, he replies "not in the same way"
