BEST MOMENTS
"We remember, we have a memory of, we don't remember the seventies, but growing up in the eighties, the socialism, Arthur Scargill, all of this stuff. And we know a lot of young people don't know this, but a lot of people our age know what a socialist government, what socialist ideas mean."
"I think disruption is really, you won't get progress without disruption because people would just stick around doing exactly what, you know, they've done for ages."
"Countries that grow fast, be they in Southeast Asia, United States, across the world have generally lower taxes. The Baltic states, Estonia, places like that."
