    According to the Daily Mail:

    The 40-year-old lives with his four children in a yurt alongside 100 hippies, New Age travellers and nudists in a 200-acre stretch of farmland in the Welsh valleys.

    A hedge-fund manager I believe. Still a bloody green.

    Funnily enough, I read something about him quite recently. This is from Wikipedia.

    In 2006, Swampy was living with his girlfriend and their three children in a yurt, a dome-shaped tent in 'Tipi Valley',[4] a remote New Age commune at Cwmdu near Llandeilo in West Wales. In 2007 the Sunday Mirror newspaper reported that he was taking part in the climate change protests at Heathrow Airport.[5] Swampy's presence on the protesters' site was dependent on his keeping a low profile, so his celebrity status would not detract from the protest.[6] As of 2013, he was still living in a commune in Wales with his family, working for the Forestry Commission and running marathons and half marathons.

    Why do people always seem to lump nudists in with whackos?

    Well, wandering around with your tackle out is a little odd, isn't it?

    Not if you're at the beach. Dressing up is much odder, especially when it involves skimpy little costumes which accentuate your tackle, like the old Speedos.

    I went nudey with my missus on a Croatian island a few years back on some rocks overlooking the sea. At one point a tourist boat came past, about 20 metres from us. Loads of the people on board were pointing and laughing. Some even had their binoculars out

    Because they are whakos.

    Walking around with your dangly bits out. It's not natural, Mo. If god had intended us to be naked he wouldn't have given us fig leaves and clothes shops.

    Most people look better in clothes. Fact.

    That's the sensibility of someone from the continent, Mo. Very unlike you.
