John-Paul Flintoff is an author, broadcaster and journalist based in London.
He is the author of the memoir Comp: A Survivor's Tale, based on his time at the controversial Holland Park School, a flagship of state education in London.
His magazine story about Camila Batmanghelidjh, who founded the London-based charity Kid's Company, changed government policy and attracted more than £500,000 in donations from readers.
In 2009 he published a book "Through The Eye Of A Needle: The true story of a man who went searching for meaning and ended up making his Y-fronts". It argues that the way we look at clothing influences the way we look at the environment, the economy and life itself. It was republished in 2010 by Profile under a new title, "Sew Your Own".
