Active duty during each of five decades. Drafted 1969. ETS 2006. Best coffee ever? Remembering the 180 degree thermos 200 miles into a 3,000 mile road trip.

Freelance journalist covering British politics and public services - NHS, education, care, housing, disability, benefits. Not a tribalist. I like good things and I don't like bad things.

A serious person who does big things
