I do like listening to the two Davids. I wish David Buik and David Kuo could have a discussion programme every week. A lot of common sense and expertise, not to forget the occasional knock-out punches to inept politicians and devious financial players.

THANKS A LOT GENTLEMEN.

MORE PLEASE.

Totally agree with NORMIE99.

I want David Buik as the next Chancellor - now, oh, and Prime Minister and em, Foreign Secretary and err...

This guy consistently talks just so much common sense over all his pod-casts, it makes you wonder why we have to suffer the inept politicians we have.

It's time to forget political sound bites and truly do what is best for the country. Stop saying and get on with it!

The only area we would disagree on is, I still believe Europe will collapse. I don't know how long it'll be, but I'm convinced it will happen. Or at the very least, be considerably different to its present structure. It cannot work in its present form. Its people won't allow it.

I alway look forward to Mr Buik doing the 'papers' on TV (BBC1 business programme). He always adds a special angle to the various stories and does so with his usual pragmatism. I'm a bit jealous of the fact that he's had many conversations with the very lovely Sally Bundock, but then he deserves a perk or two..!

Brilliant podcast. David Buik is clearly a very intelligent man, and I'm ashamed to say that he did need some introduction to myself.

Excuse me, Wikipedia beckons...

Re Lastchip - maybe not Foreign Secretary. Whilst his line about the lazy French had me laughing, I'm not sure it would do much for Anglo-French relations...

Great podcast though - would like to see him giving these interviews more often on Fool.
