Professor's list of 'credits' is impressive.
Especially when one's credits go something like:
" ... makes a really hot, sweat inducing & eye-watering Vindaloo"
" ... keeps irregular hours"
" ... regrets love of donuts"
... and that's about it. lol
About to read this interview.

PS ... British attempt to dismiss the UN arbitrary detention panel's decision is laughable, when you look at it in the context of the qualifications of the panel that made the decision.
