Brian's career has been spent in business and project management and systems analysis, design and development in a variety of industries and in the private, public and not-for-profit/voluntary sectors. Now that he is effectively retired, Brian has an interest in writing and lecturing on subjects that are dear to his heart. Included amongst these are interests in the development and importance of culture and civilisation, and in our broadening awareness and understanding of our human nature and creativity and place in the cosmos.

Brian's interest in politics was first sparked in the 1970's having read George Orwell's '1984', which convinced him of the need to protect the freedom of the human spirit, and he joined Jeremy Thorpe's Liberal Party after becoming acquainted with the ideas of Jo Grimond. In the years since 1997 Brian became deeply saddened at the destruction of things that he holds precious - our sense of nationhood, identity, our rich cultural heritage and democracy - and our seeming powerlessness to prevent it. Those who are driving this agenda of change seek to deny us an effective voice in our affairs, and by coercion and manipulation seek to impose their blueprint for humanity on all of us.

In creating Veritas in 2005 Robert Kilroy-Silk provided an opportunity for us to fight back, to reclaim what is ours. Not least of the things that we have lost is our democracy: it belongs to the people, and it must be restored to us. We do not seek isolation in the world, but a community of nations working together for peace, security, prosperity, sustainability and the alleviation of poverty and injustice. Our purpose in Veritas is to carry this mission forwards; and to provide a rallying point, and be a political advocate, for all of those people who share our beliefs and values.
