During his term of office, he attracted over sixty million views on his chamber speeches exposing State bank and tax malpractice on Facebook and YouTube, thought to be an all-time record. He brought experience if not influence to the mainly lay EU Parliament Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee, putting both members and the European Central Bank President under unaccustomed pressure.

He is an associate member of the Royal College of Defence Studies and has presented papers and lectures to the RCDS, Joint Services Staff College, National Defence University Washington and many universities.
