Notbad,
Stacks and stacks of people have and are asking that question and getting bizarre/ nonsensical/ insulting etc answers.
Why so excited about this chap?
I mean UK site how many even heard of him?
Why would anyone say yeah this bloke vv worth a listen when there are reams and reams of articles, mainstream tv interviews, ludicrous things said by politicians, JKR, and on and on.
Why push this so hard, in short?
And if you think a dyed in wool lefty in England/Wales, is going to think oho one changed my mind! If watch this.
That's vv not how humans work.
They would say who is he?
Why something so random, nothing in UK about it?
How come across it?
What his thing what he do?
He's generally a man to listen to? What else is he good on?
Etc etc.
