By day I work as a tax consultant.
I'm also a media commentator in my spare time. I was active in the movement against the Iraq war, and spoke at the historic demonstration of February 15th 2003.
I've appeared on BBC, SKY, CNN, Al-Jazeera and others. I've also had articles published in the Guardian, Sunday Herald, Daily Mail and Scotsman newspapers. The latter put me in their list of Top 100 Scottish thinkers and opinion formers in 2006.
I've been married since 2001, and have two children, a boy and girl.
