    Mathieu Flamini

    Just read about him, Always thought he was a good player.
    He co-founded GFBiochemicals in 2008 - the first company in the world to mass-produce levulinic acid, with its fuel being made from plant waste which can be used to create plastic in an environmentally friendly way.
    He has made £12 Billion from it.

    Well done Flamini!

    The answer to environmental and climate issues will be technological advancement. Not net zero, which the biggest polluting countries will ignore anyway. Net zero will take us backwards in every way.

    We seem to have devalued the innovators and entrepreneurs of this world when we should be venerating them. We are suspicious of anyone with money.

    We need mavericks, innovators and geniuses, the individuals who have moved humanity forward throughout the ages, however they are stifled by over regulation and socialised government.

    Flamini's company have flourished despite the state, not because of it.

    The innovation a free market would enable would be off the scale! Instead our governments are trying to micro manage everything and we are suffering the consequences.

    Those are my thoughts anyway.

    Good on him. Dispels the myth that all footballers are thick as mince.

    That's what I thought. Great story with him. Always liked him as a player too, though he wasn't flashy etc.
