Christian DeFeo, is the owner, author and publisher of this site. He is forty years old and graduated with PhD in Creative Writing from the University of Southampton in July 2010; he spent the first part of his life in the United States, and thus maintains a long standing interest in American affairs.  His columns on a variety of topics have appeared at Left Central, UK Progressive, Unite Society and Digital Marketing Nerd. He currently lives in Bradford, West Yorkshire, a city that is justifiably proud of its history, diversity and commitment to progress.

In addition to writing and politics, his interests include technology, cooking, the study of religion, taking care of his cats (Amelia, Sarah Jane and Thomas), the philosophy of Slavoj Zizek (and others), the writings of Edward Said, all sorts of literature, Doctor Who, and growing chilli peppers.
