'The difference between lie and truth doesn’t exist.
That’s why is easy to lie then tell the truth.
“He who lies is free to construct his inventions
and give them out”
He who tells the truth is a prisoner of his on memories!'

About Me
I am a freelance journalist based in the South West of England, in UK.
​
I am, also, register as a member of the National Union Journalists!
​
I am an investigative journalist and I am writing reports about politics, geo - politics, organize - crime, micro - criminality in general.
I had always a passion for writing and when I was retired from Dentistry, I thought of writing as a more serious option like a job because I have been always put-off by the abuse of power some media have over used on people with the smart abilities of manipulate the information with lies (Brexit may be an example) and more. In fact, after the result of the Brexit referendum, and the realization that most promises were false and made out of lies, I thought that I should do something about against such a regime of misinformation and the idea to be a freelance journalist, seems, the most appropriate and tangible logical answer.

At moment, I am practice and challenging myself by writing comments in the opinion sections of some online press like the British The Guardian and the Italians IL Giornale, La Repubblica La Stampa and La Gazetta dello Sport , just to see what are the reactions of the readers, so, I may use such experience to improve my own style and thoughts.
