A visionary, like his father. They are many to criticize the rich elites and aristocrats, without fully understanding the anthology of wise talent and the gifts of reasoning, they bring to society and the country as a whole. Greatness and wisdom are mostly coded in the DNA of a person as witnessed in the case of Alan! Like father like son. Simply charismatic foretellers. That is what evolution and complexity science teaches us about the Darwinian and Nihilistic Ecosystems that come together as a result of chaos, conflict, and confluence. It produces the fittest and the intellectual leaders amongst us in a jungle of perturbation which is this world. Furthermore, I opposed the reforms of the House of Lords under Blair because that nudged the best human and knowledge capital, the unelected peers, out of the corridors of power and policymaking. You have to have Rich, wise people to protect the weaker human beings. Alan Clark is an epitome of such a political predator that sits on top of such an ecosystem, which thrives based on competition and the allure of proven survivability aka adaptability, shown over the generations.
