That's why I said just do the stuff he does first. Does he really need to go himself.
Perhaps he's happy being marginalised; but as you say (and I agree largely) he's an astute bloke. I'd quite like him to get into the mainstream a bit more and keep the debate in the public eye.
I don't disagree with your arguments royal, we've been here time and again on this forum, but his ilk need to be putting their intelligent comments out there and away from the real extreme elements.
I know he has done this to some extent and he'll never get a good press in some quarters but I'd like him to try.
