Saddam was the bad guy who kept all the other bad guys in check, i think in some ways knowing what's going on now, they would have kept him alive.

I absolutely loved this guy - he has the gift of the gab, answering questions without actually giving anything sensitive away ... thank you Sir ❤

Wait a second, I recognise this chap. He was with Des Powell in National Army Museum at a Damien Lewis chat. I took the boy whose heading to RM, the boy casually asked Paul, "What's your story?", "If I told you, I'd have to kill you." How we laughed. Quietly, to ourselves. Outside. In the car. Breaking the speed limit. Away. He's a big chap.

Voice and physical features brought to mind brian blessed. What a humble and lovely guy, unless you're a baddie. It's interesting that he said hard to stop a lone wolf attack and what happened with the sword attack.
