Thank you to Paul Hughes for taking part in this episode.

‘Have you ever killed anyone’ isn’t the best question to ask trained killers like this gentleman. It’s like asking a grocery store worker if they’ve sold any vegetables but just with severe trauma attached.

Paul came to my school and was the greatest speaker I’ve ever heard, class person

""Oh, you're a spy then" hahaha.

Granddad was probably really proud.

Saddam was the bad guy who kept all the other bad guys in check, i think in some ways knowing what's going on now, they would have kept him alive.

I absolutely loved this guy - he has the gift of the gab, answering questions without actually giving anything sensitive away ... thank you Sir ❤

Voice and physical features brought to mind brian blessed. What a humble and lovely guy, unless you're a baddie. It's interesting that he said hard to stop a lone wolf attack and what happened with the sword attack.

[thomsygrime]

The way he explains his story is very compelling, has this guy got a book of some sort cos this is class stuff

[kayth]

Appreciate your service brother 👌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Guys like him are proof if any were needed that A levels aren’t the be all and end all of things, that you can have a very successful career without “qualifications”.

Welshman that's been around too many Scots. What a combo that accent is.

Most important part (paraphrasing): "Remember that no matter how crazy the world feels, we are fairly safe, and we have the best people on it."
