About me

My name is George Walker, and I am a freelance journalist who covers politics, history, and trade unions

I am always looking for new commissions in a range of topics, to contact me please email georgewalk4321@gmail.com.

Mainstream journalism in the UK today is a closed shop, reinforcing historic social and economic hierarchies, and failing to present a vision of the country as it exists today. With my reporting, I tell honest stories, abandoning balance for the sake of itself, as I strive to re-cast our mediascape anew.
