    Lewis Gordon Pugh - Environmentalist claims to be ex SAS

    Can anyone confirm this? He mentions having served five years in the SAS "in the late 90's...He has already been found to be a bit economical with the truth in local [South African] interviews.

    Considering he was at UCT Law School in 1995, his timeline is a bit off when one considers (I) the residency requirements to enlist [two years at the time] and (ii) the fact that he would have had to serve at least three years in a parent regiment first (unless he was in 21 or 23 SAS?)

    Ex 24 SAS “who cares who wins” as long as there is a piss up at the end of it?
