The Tories didn’t exist until probably 50 years after Guy Fawkes was killed and when they did come to be they were quite anti-Catholic.

Potentially a fair point vis a vis the environment, but it’s not really true of people as far as DeBeers is concerned. I know people that work for them in Botswana and I hear nothing but good things about them as an employer. On the environment, Kimberlites are pretty small and the environmental impact of primary diamond mining isn’t really that great in the grand scheme of things. Take this with a pinch of salt from a guy on the internet sharing some anecdata etc etc.

When I was starting out I was then working in a different career. A lot of the work was analytical (Excel, GIS, etc.) and so I moved my work from those tools into Python.

I started small but eventually learned enough, alongside doing some online courses and personal projects, to get a job as a data scientist in a similar field.
