I have seen incredible bravery from very young guys, the young generation that people write off.

Many areas of Los Angeles have gang problems.

It only takes around 60 seconds to cast your vote in the polling station. 60 seconds to protect the economy, 60 seconds to protect your jobs, 60 seconds to protect the services your family relies on. A lot is at stake during those 60 seconds.

I've always had a lot of time for servicemen. Yet there's been this bad relationship between civilians and the armed services. We say to soldiers, 'We want you when we want you, but stay away in peacetime. We're proud of you, but keep away from my daughter and don't come drinking in my pub.'

If I have a weakness, it's for timepieces - if I see one I like and can afford it, I'll buy it.
