About the fool that writes this rubbish

My name is Alun Ephraim, I grew up in  Shropshire and was a student (Modern & Contemporary History) at Bangor Uni until certain parts of my body decided that it would be fun to spend a few months in hospital.

I’m a fairly old-fashioned Socialist with a Romantic, anti-modern, anti-liberal and anti-individualism streak around thirty miles wide. I refuse to apologise for this.  I loath centralisation and excessive bureaucracy, dislike noisy, thoughtless forms of partisanship, view journalists with contempt and newspaper barons with hatred, support Sunderland (tragic, isn’t it) and listen to lots of music. All of that is liable to emerge in posts here at some point.

“Sibboleth” is a reference to my surname. I also have a genuinely vile and utterly tasteless sense of humour. People who know their Old Testament will get this.

I suspect that this is all far more than you actually wanted to know and take a mild amount of pleasure from stealing the thirty or so seconds from your life that it took you to read this.
