The coronavirus has been quite bad, to put it lightly. It’s brought most of the world to a standstill, wrecked the NHS and caused over 50,000 deaths around the world. Some of the biggest cities have turned into a real-life 28 Days Later, with parts of London and New York being transformed into mobile hospitals […]

With just three days before Donald J. Trump stands in front of the US Capitol in Washington D.C. to take the oath of office and be inaugurated to arguably the highest office in the globe, it seems like an opportune time to look at what makes the man beneath the hair. It has been common […]

(This piece was initially published on Backbench UK here, you can find my profile here, and if you’re really interested – my final project should be done at the end of March) When I awoke, bleary-eyed, at a quarter to seven on Wednesday morning to the sound of Radio 4 telling me the government had […]

              960×0.jpg   I’m sure you can gather what this post will be about. But before we talk about the film, I’d like to give some context. You can skip it if you like, it just means you aren’t interested in me as a person:    My closest friends […]

How many people stop consuming the work of someone who’s personal life’s corruptions are dragged into the spotlight too? Well, with the ‘cancel culture’ that has rapidly evolved, it can safely be said that it is something society debates more today than it ever did. The polarizing discussion: can we separate the artist from the […]

Malta is a small country with a long, rich history, a place like no other in this world, daintily perched on the periphery of Europe; it lies south of Sicily, north of Africa, a strategic position which made the archipelago a contested region during the Second World War. That being said, it is the country’s […]

Does anyone else hate writing blogs? As of now I’ve got about half an hour to crack this out before I wrap some Christmas presents and head off to pre- drinks. Hopefully the sea of late submissions from my fellow blog dodgers (I know you’re out there, I cant be the only one, right?)  Wash […]

Eating disorders are responsible for more loss of life than any other mental health condition, and unfortunately, are becoming increasingly more common. Many attribute this increase to social media and the representation of bodies in television. Between 1.25 and 3.4 million people in the UK are affected by an eating disorder with 25% of the […]

As the art world waited for the Turner Prize to be announced, outside Turner Contemporary a completely different show was playing out. Climate campaigners from XR Thanet, a local Extinction Rebellion group, kicked off the night with an entirely different proceeding. As the gallery closed to the public for the day, it closed itself off […]

If you want to properly understand politics, history, culture and society, it’s pretty much essential to spend large parts of your time reading, reading about, or listening to those who tried to do it before. Especially for those of us on the left, “read theory” is a common refrain. In the 21st century, with society […]

What is 49-3?   The third section of the 49th article of the French Constitution states that the Prime Minister (currently Manuel Valls) can commit the government’s responsibility to the National Assembly regarding the passing of a bill. By doing so, he can push for a straight adoption of the bill without a vote. He […]

Shaky hands, racing heart, sweaty palms, nausea (bit of an exaggeration here) – this is my big chance to clear the name of something I’m so passionate about: KORFBALL. And well, to clear my name in front of all the people who think I’m crazy in love with a sport that doesn’t exist. What is […]

Well, I am one of those boring people who overthink everything and complicate matters. I admit it. Some people doubt that I could make a good journalist because of the speed required in the field. But the speed required doesn’t mean going for the obvious or accepting whatever you are told just to get things […]

As we approach a month in isolated life, this situation gives us an excuse to do (or attempt) something productive while we twiddle our thumbs and wait for this bug to blow over. I’ve tried painting through my vast backlog of unfinished plastic miniatures and have even taken up learning a language with the time […]

There’s an NCTJ exam on Monday morning, 12 December, so the year one conference is cancelled. Richard

After a week dominated by the latest bout of managerial turmoil in West London, the focus was switched back to matters on the pitch. A quick-fire Nicolas Anelka hat trick gave Chelsea a deserved victory over Watford in front of their new manager Guus Hiddink. Chelsea, no doubt eager to impress their coach, raced out […]

MIP_award.jpeg   Is there a bias towards offensive players in today’s NBA?     Sports are for the fans. The fans who feel great pride in their cities teams, who form attachments to players and coaches. The fans talk as if they are part of the team, as if the team is part of them. […]
