Yes. So after I finished my university degree, and I did a longer degree, I did a four-year engineering degree rather than a three-year one. Where was that? At the University of Sussex, which is on the south coast of England. And, you know, after university, everybody... disappears. You all go off to different places. You get different jobs, different parts of the country.

And I just had this feeling that of unfulfillment. And I thought I made a mistake. Maybe I shouldn't have done engineering. Maybe I should have done something else. And everybody says, you know, I speak very well and I make good arguments. I should have been a lawyer. So I went to, it was really night school.

I went to the University of London, but they have a college called Birkbeck where the classes are in the evening. And so I went to night school while working about 2005.

So I'm about 25 and I do a law degree part-time, which was fascinating because I learned so much about the principles of all of the things we talk about, you know, the rule of law, jurisprudence, but also a lot of the history of the UK, which I would have learned had I gone to primary or secondary school here, I learned in my law degree. And it was just so amazing.

And at the end of it, I thought, I don't want to be a lawyer. Definitely don't want to be a lawyer, but I love having this stuff in my head. And I'd become quite political by that time. And I was more interested in helping to make good law, so being a legislator, than being, you know, a corporate lawyer or something like that.

No, no, I'm not familiar with that, but it sounds like you had one. Yes, I think I had a quarter-life crisis, sort of 25, and I've done everything I'm supposed to do. You know, you finish prime school, you finish secondary school, you do your A-levels, you get your degree, you get a job. I had a good job, I was working in consulting, and I still wasn't happy.

And I was looking, I didn't know what I was looking for, but I knew I was looking for something. And I thought another degree would give it to me. And what I really was looking for was the vocation which I found in politics. And it was a long journey over probably from age 16 onwards, having that experience of the, you know, that low expectation culture, which I thought was very race coded.

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.
