Restore educational standards

I completed a PhD in the history of law during the industrial revolution in 2025; I then trained as a mathematics teacher in 2026 and saw the extraordinary problems with the British education system. I now teach law and philosophy at two Scottish universities and see similar decline. This is what got me interested in improving educational standards in Britain and America.

Remarkably violent academic

I worked as a salaryman in Japan for a year (terrible!). During lockdown, I wrote and published a book on Daydreams, now sold in bookstores all over the world. I am a surprisingly avid boxer and like to go to boxing gyms in whatever country I visit. And one other thing: I love pickles.
