What I like

I passionately believe in protecting our environment and I support the development of

safe, clean nuclear power - similar to the way the sun works, but using superlasers to burn the hydrogen fuel

tidal power - which can produce a constant supply of electricity

Biofuels - which enable transport and power generation through renewable resources



Favourite charities

Cancer Research - Every two minutes someone else is diagnosed with cancer in the UK. More than 1 in three of us will develop cancer at some time. more info...

Save the children - millions of children are still denied proper healthcare, food, education and protection

Great Ormond Street (children's) Hospital - Great Ormond Street Hospital treats many thousands of patients each year - children who are suffering from the rarest, most complex and often life-threatening conditions

'I can neither be injured by any of them, for no one can fix on me what is ugly, nor can I be angry with my kinsman, nor hate him, For we are made for co-operation, like feet, like hands, like eyelids, like the rows of the upper and lower teeth. To act against one another then is contrary to nature' (Marcus Aurelius, 167 CE)
