About Me

Oliver is a typ­i­cally opin­ion­ated and arro­gant seventeen-year-old. In fact, he is so opin­ion­ated and arro­gant he decided to setup a blog to share his views, opin­ions, thoughts and ideas with the world, hop­ing that at least some­one will find them mildly inter­est­ing or humor­ous. He writes on every­thing from pol­i­tics and his­tory to phi­los­o­phy and eco­nom­ics as well as some­times on top­ics that peo­ple are inter­ested in. His posts can be influ­enced or revolve around pop­u­lar news sto­ries, thoughts that may have occurred some­where in the cat­a­comb that is his mind or from other sources like tele­vi­sion or radio pro­grammes, books and other arti­cles on the web.

Polit­i­cally, Oliver is on the Right (nat­u­rally, he’s never wrong). Despite this, he con­sid­ers him­self a lib­eral, if a con­ser­v­a­tive one at that. He believes in the impor­tance of the indi­vid­ual, civil lib­er­ties and the free mar­ket. He is far more lib­eral than many a self-claimed Lib­eral (Demo­c­rat), sup­port­ing gay mar­riage, euthana­sia and the legal­i­sa­tion of drugs (no, not just mar­i­juana) and pros­ti­tu­tion (includ­ing pimp­ing — although, reg­u­lated). Hav­ing said all that, being a Right-wing lib­eral, Oliver is con­fined to sup­port­ing the Con­ser­v­a­tives and thus also believes that insti­tu­tions, whilst sec­ond to the indi­vid­ual, are a good thing. He’s also a strong sup­porter of the Monarchy.

Oliver doesn’t just do pol­i­tics, though. Of course, being a Tory he’s an evil, heart­less bas­tard; but when he isn’t spend­ing his time grind­ing down the faces of the poor he likes com­put­ing, web design, avi­a­tion, sail­ing and travel. He’s cur­rently in his last year of Sixth Form, dis­il­lu­sioned with the won­der­ful, pro­gres­sive ways of mod­ern British edu­ca­tion. He’s not exactly sure what he’s going to be doing after Sixth Form, but is strongly inter­ested in pur­su­ing a career in The City (so he can fur­ther his ruin­ing the life of Britain’s poor).
