However, there is so much potential in young people, but most of them just don’t have the eyes to see it. I try to impress upon them that if I can make it, so can they. Everyone has the chance to be better”. Again, I didn’t know what to expect when I met Lord Taylor of Warwick. At first I thought the only thing I would get out of this deal was in insider’s tour of Westminster however I must admit, I was pleasantly surprised. For a man with such a diverse history of legal and parliamentary achievements, prominent keynote speeches at venues such as the United Nations and a strong proponent of community advocacy, I felt like I was speaking to a next door neighbor. He was, and is, a true gentlemen and one that has used his position in an attempt to make his country better. This is what all politicians should aspire to. Since this interview Lord Taylor has married his lovely American wife Lady Laura, a truly strong British and American relationship.
