I'm not sure what the hell I am. I'm anti-identity politics and I don't enjoy performative allyship.... it's one of my pet hates about living in the champagne socialism of London. We have neighbours who are forever putting flags in their window but don't actually DO anything. If there's a cause to join, you can guarantee the flag will change - but they're away for three weeks of every month on holidays abroad.

I think I can best be described as a rogue agent. My agenda is one of humanism and rationalism - there's no place for racism in that world which means our aims align but our methodologies don't. I think if you can get people to think more and shake them a little bit out of their comfort zones you can probably generate meaningful conversation. I have found the biggest obstacle to this are the religious right and the extreme progressives - both of whom I think have fundamental dogmatism.

So I'll just keep going rogue :o)
