Welcome to my new website

Many of us over 60 are counted out when part-time jobs come up despite our collective wisdom and abilities.

To counter some of this prejudice I have dispensed with sending my CV and have instead created The Complete Picture, an animated ninety second overview of my life to date @ https://vimeo.com/223960456.

Sir Gerald Kaufman   Gerald enjoyed America especially the chance to riffle through stalls at a flee market looking to add to his extraordinary collection of film posters from the Forties and Fifties. On Select Committee visits he would naughtily fix hotel accommodation thirty or so miles away from our first breakfast meeting so as to sleep in a room or walk up a staircase which had featured in one such film. In the right mood he would also sing songs from the same. He was a loner but...

I had the following Letter in The Times about Head Injuries in Rugby Union published on 16th March 2017: Sir The Head Injury Assessment introduced by the Six Nations for players injured in a game is missing one important piece of information. The Assessment has no baseline. If a rugby player is not tested out of season using a brain scanner then when he or she is injured the doctor at pitch side has no reference point.  Until is there a baseline is players who have had an injury to...

Four months into his Presidency and Trump is sinking. It started with all those rash promises he made during the election. A new wall between Mexico and USA; the end to immigration from some Middle East states but not all (not where Trump...

ICO fines eleven more charities The Information Commissioner’s Office has fined eleven charities that breached the Data Protection Act by misusing donors’ personal data. ICO investigations found many of the charities secretly screened millions of donors so they could target them for additional funds.

I sent the following Letter to the FT last week following Gordon Brown's disappointing article on the Uk Constitution:   Gordon Brown article page 11 Dear Sir The current UK constitutional model, if model there is, is clearly broken. (GB article today). And we are moving piecemeal into elected mayors without a restructure of local government. A Martian might think this unusual when viewed from afar. Closer to home, Brexit will be very difficult for those who live in Northern...
