    For all those commenting he is on cocaine etc.......
    Let me explain something to you.
    When you have worked in warzones, high pressure environments and constant vigilance settings, where you are constantly on high alert this becomes your day to day behavioural norm.
    Subconsciously your eyes are always scanning and your brain is searching on overdrive for possible conflict possibilities without you even realising it you are in a heightened state of awareness.
    I am former military, also worked as a close protection and private security operative and I still suffer the same thing years after leaving that lifestyle. Not as much these days but when I am out in public, particularly in busy places the subconscious behaviour programming is triggered.
    It's actually very mentally tiring and can often lead people to be agitated or depressed without knowing why due to the brain being like an engine constantly on high revs.

    All the people commenting saying this man is on cocaine 😠. He may be anxious talking about some of his experiences knowing that loads of judgemental people will watch it. Undiagnosed trauma is a massive issue and can cause his eyes to keep darting around and he has definite symptoms of hypervigilance. It's hard to talk about stuff without physical reactions occurring in the body and his humour is a definite deflection from his emotions. I do the same. Great podcast and a great human to interview.

      Among other things most of the heroin that ends up on the streets comes from that part of the world. If the drugs police there do a better job then customs in the UK have less to worry about. Not that they do fuck all anyway since most firearms crime in Britain is committed with Handguns which are simply sent into the UK from mainland Europe.

    What a life? He is unieck. He's right to say speak up about depression. The second I spoke to someone they started wanting to take me places. It did feel good. All I would say is people think they don't deserve to be around and all it is, is the brain needing charging.

    Good interview, I hope he realises he does have some form of PTSD. Before anyone says I know I’m not a doctor but I understand people well.
