If he's been in since 2015, for 2 years, thats out in 2017 or 2018 at a push...but he's saying he was out in 2021 How do you manage to double your sentence?
Dunno, but reading the article he's an Arnold Layne as well. Sort of ticking every demographic box of a UKIP/Reform/Gammon profile though.
Given the Tufton St alumni that compose the senior hierarchy with the BBC (and OfCom) I have a feeling that policy may be changing come 5th July.
He's probably from good Irish stock with a name like Henry Lardner-Burke , unfortunately Ireland were on the Germans side in WW2 though. The Irish that did fight the Nazis were killed or imprisoned by their own government when they returned.

Ireland were neutral during the war and in regards to those veterans who were "imprisoned or killed", it wasn't for fighting the Nazis
My late uncle was a 16-year-old merchant seaman in 1943, torpedoed and set adrift in a lifeboat in the North Atlantic 500 miles off the west coast of Ireland. They were petrified that they'd land in Southern Ireland, as they'd been informed in multiple briefings and anecdotes that the Irish would execute them, or simply murder them. Utter bullshit, of course. They were three weeks adrift (had to drink their own piss ) , so they didn't give a ****e who picked them up in the end. They were found by a fishing boat which took them to some port in Donegal, and they were taken over the border to Ulster the next day. There were verified reports that the Southern Irish supplied U Boats in both world wars though, and obviously, in WWI, the Germans supplied the Irish rebels to the teeth (as did the US unofficially until they themselves entered in 1917). True dat.
