- More about me
-
I've spent nearly a decade working for the UK's biggest news organisations (Sky News, Channel 4 News, APTN etc) and have an uncanny knack of sniffing out trouble and new ways of looking at stories. I'm now branching out in the hopes of combining hard politics with pop culture -- making very serious issues relevant and engaging. Nobody wants to listen to a Chomskyite lecture unless you fancy yourself an erudite intellectual who doesn't mind looking like a prick. Everybody wants to watch television that will entertain, give them something to talk about as an alternative to Facebook at work. It's my aim to make that entertainment thought-provoking and socially activist. People who know me will tell you I'm mad... and sharp enough to know that I'm a complete one-off. Someone with a reckless responsible streak.
