I am a retired lecturer in politics and sociology and a keen cyclist, swimmer and football supporter. Although retired I continue to study politics, sociology and political philosophy. I have a particular interest in Adam Smith. I have been politically active but ceased some twenty years ago. I had a book published in 2013 entitled Human Rights in a Big Yellow Taxi that sold modestly. I am married to a lady who is a devoted follower of Anderson Cooper and Wolf Blitzer.view less
