Daniel Gillen is attending BRGS LVIth from 2006-08. He is currently taking AS History, Physics, Maths and Further maths.

Past History

Originally, Daniel wished to take Psychology and Chemistry, but decided to steer clear of the guaranteed fun that is Chemistry and declined to study Psychology due to his belief that it is a 'pseudo-science'. He attended Towneley High School for his GCSEs which he enjoyed very much. He is often know for declaring, with unshakable confidence that he is right on a mathematical hypothesis, only to concede to Michael Nielsen later.

Political Career

Daniel Gillen is an active socialist, which usually leads people to question why he is supporting the selective school system. He was elected to represent his town Burnley at the United Kingdom Youth Parliament. An outspoken atheist, he is renowned for his harsh views on Christianity and other world faiths, much to the bemusement of Robert Sheperd

The BBC Debate

He is appearing on a BBC World Service radio debate on Religion, which shall aired on Sunday 10/12/06, (link to be posted later). He intends to lay down a damning criticism of world religion that will be heard by millions of listeners.
