About Me

Jonathan T Clark: Any blog postings contain only my personal views and are published in an entirely personal capacity. A former journalist, I am interested in social justice, the growing problem of a lack of affordable housing, energy independence, land tenure, law and order, equal pay, integrated public transport, our economy, the consequences of the war on terror and enduring threats to civil liberties. I have a passing interest in the consequences of Peak Everything. Amongst my other interests are Archaeology (including completing my PhD), history, politics not to mention Newport County and the Gwent Dragons. A former member of Plaid's SE Wales Regional List Team for the National Assembly Elections in 2011. I previously contested Monmouth Constituency for Plaid Cymru for the Westminster Parliamentary elections in 2010 and 2005 and at the National Assembly elections in 2007 and have been actively involved in every Plaid campaign in the South East one way or another since 1998 including serving on the party's NEC a few times and missed far too many Newport County and Gwent Dragons games as a result.
