About Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey
http://english.pravda.ru/author/_78.htmld

Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey was born on 21st July, 1958 and has been involved
in journalism for 40 years, since he was 16. He joined PRAVDA.Ru in 2000
shortly after the on-line version in Russian was launched and saw the launch
of the English version, before becoming Director and Chief Editor of the
Portuguese version in September, 2002.

Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey is based in Portugal and Brazil and divides his
work between journalism (writing and editing) and consulting. He
collaborates with a number of other publications, namely travel guides in
Africa and Brazil, and several magazines in Angola, Mozambique, Sao Tome,
Cape Verde and Guinea-Bissau.

"I consider the word 'nationality' as simply a label which reflects the
document which in turn registers the accident called a birthplace. This can
determine whether you have access to a computer when you are five years old,
or if you ever have access to one at all.

"In many places it is not taken for granted that you even have a supply of
drinking water or that your life expectancy is longer than five years of
age.

"For this reason I think it is important for us all to play our small part in
making the world a better place, by trying to create scenarios which give
people the opportunity to have the means to help themselves.

"Part of this is providing people with information, to not let them fall into
the quagmire of carrot-and-stick control by the invisible barons who control
the business and the mass media corporations and PRAVDA.Ru, as a independent
journal, is free to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the
truth.

"My oldest son's four grandparents were born in four countries, in three
continents. On his mother's side, his grandfather was born in Portugal and
his grandmother in Angola, she being the daughter of an Arab man and an
Angolan woman. On my side, my father was born in India, his father was born
in Ireland and my mother was born in England.

"My oldest son is an example of a citizen of the world and I consider that
everyone has that right. So let us all remember that we live as citizens of
the world and as brothers around a common lake, which is the sea. Instead of
dropping bombs on each other, how about holding out our hands in friendship?

"Tears taste of salt, wherever they may fall. Let's all try to put a smile in
the eyes and not only on the lips of the children of the world, giving them
an equal opportunity."

Bancroft-Hinchey's self-references have a few similarities to Obama's. He dreams of being on a planet with a true global government. His eagerness to write for Pravda seems to belie this. Pravda should be quite grateful to have such a vitriolic master of the English language on its staff. At some point TB-H will find that Putin will be the morally obligatory target of his pique. Then what will he do?
