Former (m)ad man, historian, writer and dog-walker. Londoner. Degrees from Oxford and Kingston. Scot, European, social democrat. Usually with the underdog. Quite worried about a lot of things.

If I was running a criminal gang to transport immigrants across the channel in small boats, one of the very first things I would do would be confiscate any jewellery or other portable wealth they were carrying.
