So as per Thursday's post here, Dave Pollard asks me the following questions, and I shall try not to sound like a complete idiot in answering them:
1. What one thing do you most hope to be remembered for after you die?The support, love (passion) and leadership that I give to people especially my children.
2. What do you think is the single greatest threat to the survival of the world today, and what do you think is the greatest hope?
Greatest threat: intolerance, especially when related to groups of people i.e. racism, sexism, relgious bigotry
Greatest hope: Education. To educate to socialise appropriately to be inspired, to lead, to question, to not be afraid.3. What single life lesson do you think is most important for young people to learn?
Be passionate and live life to the full. Never give up on your dreams.
4. Of all the people alive today, who do you think would make the best Prime Minister of Britain? Why?
My 2 year old son, because he asks all the questions that no one else dared asked. But when he has made up his mind there is no shifting him!
5. If you had a million pounds, what would you spend it on?
In the first instance I would seek to make sure that my family's future is secure by ethically investing and ensuring any property I had was ecologically sound e.g. including solar and wind power.
I would want to make a difference in terms of poverty in the Third world and would seek to build educational links with Africa, Asia and South America. I would also like to see more done in terms of governmental policy and change.
I would like to see more done in the UK for Homelessness, drug abuse and abuse against children and would campaign on these issues.
I would invest money in reserach focusing on eradication and mitigation of disease, particular AIDS and Cancer.
Lastly I would like to see a new series of Dr Who made, so assuming I had some money left I would look to invest in that!
