Because I remember when I was in my 20s, having that quarter-life crisis and wondering where my life was going, I never thought there was no opportunity. I just didn't know which way to go. And... The young people today don't see that anymore. They don't go out, they're not drinking, they're not socializing the way they used to. They're just becoming, they're becoming different.

And that worries me about the future. And it also means that they are more susceptible to a lot of bad ideas, both, you know, what I call the woke left and the woke right. I've now started using the word woke. I never used it before. There's a woke left and a woke right.

And they're going to those places because they're angry about migration and how it looks like it's taken opportunity away from them. They're angry because they think the world is unfair, intergenerational unfairness. We need to give young people the sort of optimism that we had when we were younger. Remember what it was like being 25. It was great. How can we take that away from people?

And between COVID and high house prices and so on, there's so much that has created despair. And I remember having a conversation with Pierre Poliev about this. He's my kindred spirit, by the way.

So it certainly shaped my character, but my family shaped my character a lot more. I was born into a relatively wealthy family and I was born in January 1980. This is just as the oil boom is taking off in the country in the 70s. Everybody's got lots of money and my family is doing well, partly because of that. And
