The contents of this blog are mainly political. I confess I have been a bit of a 'political traveller' over the years, but I have remained passionate on issues concerning the environment, animal welfare, peace, social justice and workers rights. Although I am now very much politically settled, I admit to having trodden many paths on which to tackle the issues that concern me, but always my principles have remained unchanged. I am also supportive of self determination, decentralisation and regionalism. This includes recognising the national status of Cornwall..
Away from politics I enjoy gardening and I'm lucky enough to work as a gardener in addition to writing my column for the Torbay Times. I enjoy the great outdoors, music, art (I also paint and sell my work), the theatre, social history, my motorcycles and watching a number of sports. I am also a Trustee and occasional Service Leader at Torquay Unitarian Church.
Views and posts on this blog are written in my own capacity and therefore do not necessarily reflect those of any organisation I am involved with.
