I'm a young aspiring journalist commenting and questioning current affairs ranging from the trivial to the political. In order to provide background information for my choice of articles, I feel it necessary to describe my interests. I read particularly 20th century classics and fiction. My taste in cinema and series is mainly of the golden age of the 50s up until the 90s, particularly Scorsese, Hitchcock, Allen, Tarantino and Polanski. Politically, I would identify myself as a centre-left democratic socialist but I undertake an active curiosity with all of the political spectrum and don't dogmatically align to consistently left viewpoints. I believe it is important to examine all beliefs through a socially liberal and respectful lens. My sporting interests include football and boxing. I'm an avid supporter of Manchester United and value attacking exciting football with a blend of youth talent and an honest pride for the badge. Sadly, such a mentality may have dissolved globally in the game in recent years as money has become a dominating incentive for players. With boxing I am less engaged. Despite this, my favourite current boxers include Canelo and Tyson Fury and my all-time favourites include Prince Naseem Ahmed and of course Ali and Tyson.

 

Thanks,
