George Igler is a City-based political policy analyst and the founder director of the Discourse Institute, a non-profit described as 'studying conscience and risk', with a 'focus is on European free speech research and reform'.

Igler describes himself on Twitter as a 'one time Cambridge theology bod and City EU policy specialist. I now help prevent people from getting their heads chopped off'. [1]
