About Cracking Defence

The full updated ‘what and why’ can be found here.

The TLDR:

I’ve changed my blog from the old-money Channels of Influence. We are now Cracking Defence.

I’ll be mostly talking about defence and security, primarily (but not always) from a UK perspective. Tongue will usually be somewhat in cheek.

Who am I? I’m a former officer in the British Army with operational experience, now an independent writer and part-time think-tanker (amongst other things).

I like music of all genres, history, data, science fiction, French red wines and Spanish whites, oak trees, liberal democracy, Jane Austen, Lebanese food, and badgers.

That’s the gist of it, really.

Please comment, share, subscribe etc. if it takes your fancy. Even better, buy a coffee to keep this starveling writer well-caffeinated:

Buy me a coffee to support my work!

Many thanks, and hope to hear from you!

All the best,

Matthew
