Quote “We need to get politicians in that do not act like school teachers trying to control a playground, we need politicians that do more than flex legislative muscle, arbitrarily banning things and instead have a more diverse collective with increased and appropriate powers to support and educate people into better life choices.” – David Anthony Elston

David is a University Graduate, being the youngest of the first year to graduate from his Computer Games Development course and immediately went into a career working for various computer and technology companies. Now selfemployed David takes his time to be a Pirate! Short Pirate story: "A captured pirate was brought before Alexander the Great. “How dare you molest the sea?” asked Alexander. “How dare you molest the whole world?” the pirate replied, and continued: “Because I do it with a little ship only, I am called a thief; you, doing it with a great navy, are called an emperor."
