The Wardman Wire

What?

Matt Wardman writes from a centre-right perspective about politics, culture, technology and sport.

The Wardman Wire is now slowly evolving into a group blog, so the previous statement is not quite right. It will take until the end of 2007 for the style to stabilise again, so I will update the description then.

Disclosure

This blog is published under a pseudonym, and has no links with any “Matt Wardman” active in British Politics or other fields.

Outside the world of political blogging, Matt Wardman is Julian Doncaster, who is a freelance Project Manager, Internet Consultant and writer, among possibly too many other things.

I am currently advising the Politics Home website (Stephan Shakespeare’s next initiative after 18 Doughty Street) on some aspects of their design. I will be receiving a small fee.
