I am a freelance journalist specialising in political and social comment, with a particular focus on women’s and children’s rights.
This blog is an archive of my weekly column for the Brighton Argus, a newspaper based in Brighton and published throughout Sussex. A range of different topics are explored within the columns, with the intention of encouraging debate. The articles are aimed primarily at Sussex residents, although they have relevance beyond the boundaries of the county. They are designed to be read by a broad range of people.
Comments are welcome. Please exercise care and caution. This archive is accessible to a broad range of people from children through to senior citizens. All that I ask is that respect is offered to the subject matter. As with any ‘town hall’ type discussion I trust that any comments offered will be voiced in the spirit of genuine open debate.
I hope that you enjoy browsing the blog and that you find something of interest.
