He's spoken on the topic elsewhere, at least a few interviews (on youtube). That'll be better than this slop - edit: the Guardian was co-opted by the UK securlty state after cops raided them soon they did their reporting on Edword Snowdon.

Yeah, this interview is pretty bad.

But this post did turn me onto his ideas and found an interview with him on a podcast last night that was really good.

Nope but I will give that a listen too! So thanks for the link.

I'm interested in getting his book also.
