[edit] Introduction
Welcome to my homepage, I am a male from England. I spend most of my time on Wikipedia adding to existing articles although I have written a couple of new ones.
[edit] Political Views
Primarily I am a free market capitalist. I believe in small government and low taxes and object to large state behemoths that interfere in every aspect of our lives and create a nanny state removing the need for people to rely on themselves. It has been shown time and time again that individuals are the best judges when it comes to spending their own money, this is the opposite of most governments who must continue to dream up ever more elaborate and expensive social engineering schemes to justify their very existence.
Although a keen proponent of democracy I oppose meddling with the constitution for the sake of political expediency, for example, reform of the House of Lords so that it could be stuffed full of "Tony's cronies". In a similar vein I support the monarchy in the UK and strongly oppose a politician as Head of State.
As you might expect I am not a fan (to put it mildly) of the European Union as it currently operates. A simple trading community I'd have no problem with but it seems to be hell bent on legislating on every issue under the sun and removing powers from sovereign governments.
There are lots of other issues I could bang on about but that will do for now.

[edit] My Worldview
I scored as Existentialist.
Existentialism emphasizes human capability. There is no greater power interfering with life and thus it is up to us to make things happen. Sometimes considered a negative and depressing world view, optimism towards human accomplishment is immense. Mankind is condemned to be free and must accept the responsibility.

[edit] People I Admire
There are probably hundreds of both contemporary and historical figures I admire. To give you an idea here are just a few that come to mind in alphabetical order.
Neil Armstrong - and all the men who put him on the moon. Surely the pinnacle of man's achievements to date with no sign of it being topped anytime soon.
Charles Babbage - Designer of the Difference engine, the first programmable computer. Not completed until 120 years after his death but when it was its 25,000 parts functioned perfectly.
Sir Tim Berners-Lee - Inventor of the world wide web, the killer app computers had been waiting for.
Isambard Kingdom Brunel - An engineering giant with a very cool name.
Jeff Buckley - Only one record during his short career, but what a record (Grace).
Sir Winston Churchill - A political titan who towered over the twentieth century becoming its greatest statesman. If defeating the Nazis in WWII could be put down to just one man it must surely be this one, without his resolve and determination to stand alone all Europe would surely have been lost. He was also a master of the English language which he used to good effect as orator, wit and prolific writer for which he won the Nobel Prize in Literature. His autobiography My Early Life is an absolute belter and recounts his hair raising exploits as a fearless young man around the empire. A special mention must also go to Churchill's bodyguard of 18 years, Walter H. Thompson, he travelled over 200,000 miles with the great man and saved his life on some 20 occasions.
Alan Clark - For the hours of amusement caused by the arrogance, wit and downright caddishness he describes in his diaries.
Jeremy Clarkson - A true patriot, see his documentaries on the VC, the St. Nazaire Raid and Brunel to understand what I mean. He also writes a rip snorter of a column in the Sunday Times and presents the sublime hilarity that is Top Gear.
Captain Cook - For sailing off into the unknown and claiming the east coast of Australia for King and country.
Francis Crick, James D. Watson, Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin - For the enormous impact that DNA has had in so many fields.
Charles Darwin - For having the courage to publish The Origin of Species with his theories on Evolution and Natural selection. A nod also goes to his "Rottweiler" Richard Dawkins.
Leonardo Da Vinci - For his mind blowing genius as an architect, inventor, engineer, sculptor and painter... to name but a few of his talents.
Lord Deedes - For decades of illuminating journalism.
Sir Francis Drake - For halting the Spanish Armada before they could invade, had he failed the whole course of human history could have been changed considerably.
The Few - The 2,927 pilots of the RAF and allied air forces, that saw off the Luftwaffe during the Battle of Britain. Had they lost, the future of civilisation itself would have looked none too rosy.
Thomas Flowers - The engineer who designed Colossus, the first digital, programmable and electronic computer. Used for codebreaking during WWII and classified shortly thereafter it is yet another example where Britain's scientific lead in a particular field was squandered.
Steve Fossett - Has set 88 aviation and 21 sailing world records. Enough said. RIP :(
Lord Foster - Likely the best architect of his generation.
Milton Friedman - A leading member of the Chicago School of Economics who advocated Laissez-faire capitalism and Monetarism.
Bill Gates KBE - Surely the greatest entrepreneur and philanthropist in history.
Guy Gibson VC and 617 Squadron for their courage and heavy losses sustained during the Dam Busters raid. Also Bomber Command as a whole and the 55,000 of its aircrew killed during WWII.
Cary Grant - From humble beginnings in Bristol he became one of the leading actors of Hollywood's golden age.
John Harrison - For developing the first maritime clock that enabled accurate navigation over great distances for the first time.
Polly Harvey - One of the England's finest ever singer songwriters.
Sir Nigel Hawthorne - For his portrayal of Sir Humphrey in Yes Minister. Never has machiavellian scheming been seen to such good effect.
Friedrich Hayek - Defender of free market capitalism and author of the seminal work The Road to Serfdom in which he states that socialist and collectivist ideas lead inevitably to tyranny.
Boris Johnson - He may play the lovable buffoon on Have I got news for you but anybody who has read him will know he has a shrewd and perceptive political mind.
Laurel and Hardy - I'm not normally a great fan of Slapstick but these guys were the masters. Add to that the on screen relationship between them and Hardy's knowing glances to camera and you have comedy gold.
Jack Lemon - One of the all time great movie actors. Legend.
Dame Ellen MacArthur - For being the fastest person to circumnavigate the globe solo and having the pioneering spirit that we used to be so good at.
George Mallory and Andrew Irvine - For possibly being the first people to reach the summit of Mount Everest. Whether they made it or not, such an attempt was more than courageous considering their primitive equipment.
R.J. Mitchell - Designer of the Spitfire, often credited with winning the Battle of Britain. A great shame he didn't live to see what a difference it made.
Monty - For starting to turn the course of WWII in favour of the allies with his decisive victory over Rommel at El Alamein.
Lord Nelson - The architect of victory at Trafalgar and responsible for the greatest rallying cry of a commander before going into battle "England expects that every man will do his duty".
Sir Isaac Newton - In all likelihood the greatest all round scientist in history.
Richard Noble - Responsible for Britain's holding of the land speed record since 1983.
Andrew Roberts - For his entertaining and enthusiastic historical writings.
Martin Scorsese - One of cinemas finest directors, that he went for so long without an Academy Award in near criminal.
Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David - For the seminal shows that are Sienfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Ayrton Senna - Probably the best Formula 1 driver of the modern age although Michael Schumacher would probably give him a run for his money.
Ernest Shackleton - For surviving nearly 2 years on the ice during the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition and getting every single one of his men to safety via an epic and hazardous trek.
Adam Smith - Creator of modern civilisation through his ideas on capitalism, free trade and economics.
The Agents of the Special Operations Executive - For the many hazardous missions they carried out behind enemy lines in WWII. Many were executed by the Nazis.
Jimmy Stewart - For being a great actor, all round nice guy and putting his life on the line during a hollywood career by voluntarily enlisting and petitioning his superiors for the combat missions he flew during WWII.
Baroness Thatcher - One of the greatest peace-time Prime Ministers. With a small group of advisers she saved the country from socialism and the unions giving us back our dynamic economy and dignity after the winter of discontent and sick man of Europe tag.
Alan Turing - The father of Computing Science and a codebreaker during WWII responsible for a number of techniques that could find settings for the Enigma machine.
Peter Ustinov - Perhaps the ultimate bon vivant and raconteur. His portrayal of Poirot is also the finest committed to film.
The Victorians - For maintaining the largest empire in history that governed a quarter of the world's population and covered a third of the world's land area, they were truly masters of the universe. It was never going to last forever but at least Britain was Great for a short while.
George Welch - and his fellow test pilots for pushing the boundaries.
Duke of Wellington - One of histories greatest military leaders as demonstrated by victories in the Peninsular War and at Waterloo
Sir Frank Whittle - Inventor of the Jet engine, work upon which was severely hampered by a lack of government support. Sounds familiar.

"When buying and selling are controlled by legislation, the first thing to be bought and sold are legislators." PJ O'Rourke
"Much of the social history of the Western world, over the past three decades, has been a history of replacing what has worked with what sounded good.
