David Bullard (born 1952, London) is a British-born and South African naturalized columnist, author, TV presenter and celebrity public speaker known for his controversial satire and sharp wit.
Bullard studied English and Drama at Exeter University, gave up on the idea of becoming a barrister and, instead, became a trader on the London Stock Exchange before emigrating to South Africa in 1981.

Bullard linked his firing with a column (Run out of gas)[10] published in Empire magazine in February 2008, in which he was highly critical of the Sunday Times and its editorial management.
[15] In April 2019, Bullard wrote an article for The Daily Friend in which he mentioned the fact that his litigation with the Sunday Times had entered its twelfth year.
