And looking back on it, it was extremely race coded. If I was, I think, a white child, I would have been treated differently. And again, it was sort of left wing teachers who were trying to be helpful. but actually creating a lot of destruction along the way. That experiences at university where I think I met my first sort of proper left-wing students culture type person. And I did not like it.

I thought they were very ignorant. They, because by this time, of course, I know a lot about Africa and they talked about Africa as this place where they would come in and help the people, you know, who was, you know, just these helpless people, no agency whatsoever. They were not interested in the real problems and it was really a way for them to virtue signal. And I found that so aggravating.

And that also semi-radicalized me around what we do with aid, for example, and how we let a lot of African countries get away with things that they shouldn't do. An irritation with what I call moral colonialism, where rather than focusing on growth and how to make these countries self-sufficient...

We sort of preach values which the West has come to after a long period and try and impose them in places where there's no, you know, they're not ready to receive them or interested and not engaging with people on that level. So I had that radicalism, that radicalization process. And that was actually my first work with the Conservative Party. So it's 2005, I'm 25, 2006.

David Cameron sets up these policy commissions and one of them was called Globalization and Global Poverty. And I really cared about this subject because I thought a lot of money was being wasted and sent to places where it shouldn't be sent to when actually what people needed was partnerships, business, more sensible policies. more sensible ideas.

And it was supposed to, even back then in 2006 onwards, it was how do we tackle globalization? How do we make sure it works for everyone else? But these things end up getting co-opted always by, you know, vested interests, which is a real shame. So many things took me on the journey to conservatism.

There was something changed. Something happened about 2008, which changed my views on Christianity. But still, I am culturally a Christian. My grandfather was a reverend in the Methodist church.
