Unlike us humans, our pets are rarely big firework fans. Having no understanding why Bonfire Night should be noisier and brighter compared with other nights of the year, unsurprisingly both confuses and generates high levels of stress for our four-legged friends.

Hip Hop has been a big part of my life. I am a big hip hop head. I have listened to Tim Westwood for over 20 years from his time at Capital FM to BBC Radio 1. Tim open doors for many artists. His late night rap shows were legendary with his live New York Rap exchanges with Funkmaster Flex. No hip hop artist would venture on TV or feature in a magazine in the UK without being interviewed or endorsed by Westwood. Whether you were a die hard or newbie to the scene, Westwood’s rap show set the bar for tapping into hip hop culture. Читать дальше...

Donald Trump’s approach to social media is often – how shall we put this? –unorthodox, but the president seems to have outdone himself this time.

As a student, I am used to seeing politicians consistently place the burden of some of their worst excesses of recklessness for public welfare onto my generation. Instead of investing in our future we have a government hell-bent on doing the exact opposite.  From students graduating with an average debt of more than £50,000, to discriminatory minimum wage age boundaries costing some young people more than £4,000 per year. Perhaps worst of all, as Co-chair of the Young Greens, I’m horrified to... Читать дальше...

It is 2018, and though we still have myths to bust and stigmas to break, attitudes towards disabled people are slowly improving. Yet there are some who still believe that disability is a form of personal punishment for the disabled individual, a kind of karma for their past mistakes.

Growing up as a young black man, the concept of ‘mental health’ was never discussed - not because people didn’t care but because they didn’t understand it. The idea that mental health issues were a biological condition that could strike anyone at any time in the same way as a physical illness, was an unfamiliar one.

I’ve never had an overwhelming sense of national pride. I was taught at a young age that England would always fail at major sporting tournaments, that we would never win Eurovision, that abroad we would always be viewed as ‘Brits abroad’ when we went on holiday. Yet I’ve always known I was British no matter what.

Stop! I know what you’re thinking and yes, you’re right, bloggers and writers do often look far too deeply into things.

In the wake of this year’s Black History Month, there is no doubt that we’ve come a long way since the days when 60 per cent of employed black women worked as domestic servants, or since 44 per cent of white people said they would relocate if a black family moved in next-door. In the not so distant past, we have witnessed movements from Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr, the passing of the great Civil Rights Act of 1964 and most recently, the inauguration of the first black President of the United States.

Every child has a dream of what they want to do when they grow up. I wanted to be a solicitor all the way through primary school, all the way through secondary school and all the way up until I tried A-Level Law at Sixth Form and found out I had a terrible legal brain. Being able to have a dream and having the means to pursue it was something I took for granted, I had a great state provided education which I received in a Western liberal democracy.

As a Jew living in 2018, I am familiar with the need for security outside synagogues. I walk past it every morning and evening. I am familiar with the high fences, the security cameras and the paid security as well as the volunteers that I thank every Shabbat morning for keeping us all safe. Last weekend’s attack in Pittsburgh has shown how patently clear just how much it is sadly needed.

“The Change” was historically spoken about in kitchens and over garden fences across the land. I recall my granny relaying a cautionary tale of “so and so up Belle Hill running off with a lorry driver in the change.” I had no concept of this mystery ailment but was concerned about the prospect of this symptom afflicting my mum.

It’s been a tough year for Theresa May – since the 2017 General Election didn’t quite go to plan, she’s been hit by a series of political tidal waves, including resignation after resignation.
