Hello!
Thanks for coming by...
I am a jack-of-all-trades with experience spanning heavy industry, transport, the third sector, artisan food production, hospitality, e-commerce and a few other bits.
I write about politics, technology, history, media, community, and the strange ways they collide. Sometimes I rant. Sometimes I reason. Occasionally I even change my mind.
As a mature student, I studied History and Historiography at Ruskin College, Oxford. Historiography always interested me more than history itself: why was it told this way, who was it written for, and what internal or external constraints shaped the story? Those questions eventually led me to Sussex University, where I opted for Media Studies with Cultural and Community Studies rather than History.
These days I'm less interested in party politics than in the systems and structures that shape contemporary issues. If you're looking for tribal loyalties, you'll probably be disappointed. If you're interested in how history, technology, media and power interact, put the kettle on and pull up a chair.
