  • Mr Farridge

    You didn’t need to say you disagree with pretty much Mr Farridge stands for - your views oozed from your podcast from the first minute. So you disagree with sovereignty and secure borders. I disagree with globalism and not knowing who is in the country. We can agree to differ and I shan’t listen to your programme again, which I’m sure will be a relief for you both.

  • Outstanding Demystification of ML

    As an AML professional it’s so refreshing to hear relevant and pertinent information broken down to remove the jargon and complexity people at banks try and use to confuse people. Any AML investigator involved in complex fin crime analysis would benefit by using this podcast to understand current typologies and risks where internal training normally fails!
