I am English, born 1936 and have lived in Wales since 1990. The more jobs I’ve had, and the more time to think about them, the clearer some things have become: wage-slavery’s alive and well; employment-for-profit is a dangerous diversion from human wellbeing and life on earth.
I live in Swansea on a state pension, savings and what my parents left. My wife, Ada, is Irish and younger than me, an artist, craft- and group-worker. Between us we have four grown-up children. I have two dusty degrees and cv including: journalism, teaching, labouring, building and a small-holding in a wood.
Recent interests include management of a commonwood, cures for ineguality, climate chaos and a capitalist system that drives that devastation. I want justice for Palestine, an ongoing tragedy devised by British government, and recognition that 'commonwealth' must mean exactly what it says, the wealth of a world that is made and shared by us all.
