Who really can make sense of things.
By this I mean a real expert, someone who’s knowledgeable about there topic and can show they mean business.
Basically all the things that our “Leaders” aren’t! They really show them up for the charlatans they are.
Someone who’s actually bright and talks like a real person.
I’ve come across these lately;
Julian Richer. Yes he of the Hifi shops (since sold) was on LBC. Wow! He really was fantastic like Richard Branson should be really.
HM Chief inspector of Prisons. Don’t know his name but he really knew his stuff.
The Kenyan Head health honcho (I spend a lot of time there) talking about Covid in a way that I’ve heard absolutely no one in the UK coming close to and in English!
And finally Mick Lynch. Love or hate him it’s pretty obvious why Rishi won’t meet as he’d be quivering in the corner like a baby. He knows his onions. Power to the people!
Anyone else that comes to mind or thoughts on the above?

If someone can't explain there stuff in simple language, they really don't understand the stuff to start with
A little ironic, don't you think 
.Anyhoo - in terms of positive contribution - I've always found Professor Brian Cox capable of making complex matters around space and time relatively easy to grasp.

Yes I heard him speaking on Breakfast on a strike day. He said "where is the transport secretary, on a private jet or holidaying on a Caribbean island instead of meeting me"And finally Mick Lynch. Love or hate him it’s pretty obvious why Rishi won’t meet as he’d be quivering in the corner like a baby. He knows his onions. Power to the people!
Latter they talk to the Transport secretary in his kitchen at home.
Just a rabble rousing union leader.

I think the point might be that regardless of the actual whereabouts of the transport sec, they weren't meeting with Mick Lynch.Latter they talk to the Transport secretary in his kitchen at home.
Just a rabble rousing union leader.

...Julian Richer...
Do you mean this Julian Richer, that campaigns against tax avoidance? Where businesses use legal tax loopholes to reduce their tax payments.Or do you mean this Julian Richer, who sold his HiFi retail business and used tax loopholes to avoid paying any capital gains tax?
Sorry, my mistake, they're the same Julian Richer.

After the sale he personally gave every employee £1,000 per year of service, nearly £4m in total.

Yeah, I thought that too and my wife knew it. That’s why I was absolutely delighted when she bought me tickets to go and see ‘An Evening With Brian Cox’ type show in Preston.Now, neither of us are entirely thick and we both have a reasonable grasp of the world we live in but me and my mate understood his Good evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome. Beyond that we were at a total loss - it was like we’d stumbled into a post-grad astro-physics debate that would have left Sheldon Cooper with a headache! We left at the interval.

To be fair to Michael Gove, the full quote is "I think the people in this country have had enough of experts from organisations with acronyms saying that they know what is best and getting it consistently wrong."To be unfair to Michael Gove, he looks like Pob.
