Alfie talks openly about his experiences growing up as a Gypsy and the challenges he faced.

From divulging his “cult-like” business tactics to explaining why he doesn't believe in racism, Alfie pulls no punches!
Alfie Reveals:
- How he started a successful business with just £80

BEST MOMENTS
"Gypsies come with a stigma - liars, cheats and thieves. It's all true."
"Creating a cult - Everybody in my business believes in the dream... That grows into a tree. That tree grows into a forest."
"I actually don't know. I've never thought about it... I'm unqualified to give you an answer."
"If you base it on business... There is no obstacle that can ever be put in my way."
"Get the right answer, off the right person... That's why this country is not running right."
