I get asked this a lot, but the truth is, everyone has to find their own path. I work really hard at it, but I'm lucky enough to have evil genes, and of course I'd be nowhere without the mentorship of Beelzebub himself. Good luck with your journey, I'm sure you'll get there! 😘

While I'm always grateful to receive career advice from a towering talent like Nick Robinson, I think it is more important for the British public that the BBC re-discovers its sense of humour Those were the days...
Hey, kids! It's your old buddy Steve King telling you that if they ban a book in your school, haul your ass to the nearest bookstore or library ASAP and find out what they don't want you to read.
