Previously a historian with an interest in the ‘cultural war’ waged over the legitimate form, function and meaning of sport. I have spent the last few years campaigning (unsuccessfully) for a more inclusive form of cricket in the United Kingdom.

Now, however, I am able to make a material difference to people’s lives as a Housing Standards Officer with Woking Borough Council.

Infinitely more satisfying.
