About me
My name is Kai. If you met me and asked me where I’m from I would reply “Finland” but really that is just a convenient shorthand for “I have a complicated family and personal history that would a) bore you to tears and/or b) confuse you should I go through it, so I won’t”. So, I don’t really know where I’m from and where I’m going.
These pages hopefully document some of that, both for myself and for people I should be in touch with far more than I tend to be. In 2006 I moved to London to study for a BSc Environmental Policy degree at the London School of Economics and Political Science. I’m still there, during term time at least.
Originally, my intention was to write about things I see and about adjusting to life in the United Kingdom. I don’t know if I have adjusted in the year and a half I’ve been here - I suppose I have done in many ways. I still write about my observations, experiences and feelings.
What does ‘roguepolitical’ mean?
The domain name came to me after weeks of on-and-off thinking. I didn’t want it to be specifically limited to the current content. I wanted a descriptive, non-obvious name that described me. “Rogue political”, I feel, does that - casting me as a dapper young man with opinions that don’t necessarily fit on the traditional political stage.
I have no plans to use this website as a soapbox to promote any kind of political agenda, despite its name. Make of that what you will.
