Last week I was back at Parliament for a class trip to teach the children about democracy..however it was a tad difficult to explain how we live in a democratic society when we couldn’t watch any elected MPs debate as Parliament had been 🎉UNLAWFULLY🎉 prorogued by an unelected Prime Minister, selected by 92,153 people ( […]

Gender Equality To celebrate my birthday this year I decided to face my fear of public speaking and share a couple of my poems in public. Quite a bold and surprising move considering that behind the carnival feathers and political rants, I am a very shy and private person. (No really, I am.) Spurred on […]

So last week I was reframing some artwork when I cut my thumb. The cut wasn’t that much bigger than a paper cut so besides washing away the blood, I basically ignored it, didn’t put a plaster on then started on the gardening… By Saturday morning it had started to swell and become painful so […]

I’ve been writing poetry more frequently for about seven years but only recently taking it more seriously with a couple of poems in publications out later this year. I found for me, generally poetry isn’t difficult to write, it’s can just sometimes be difficult to share. Generally poetry is personal. Poems can be so personal […]

As awesome as the Reprise of Gollum is #andyserkislegend …it’s not a second referendum that the UK needs, but a General Election. Just like the rumours in the Evening Standard yesterday, I also believe May orchestrated the leadership challenge. A defeated challenge now holds off any further challenges for a year and apparently “strengthens” her […]

****SPOILER ALERT*****. This post is really for anyone who has seen the film, read the book or is not planning to do either. The Hate U Give is a powerful film but has the book’s original message been scarificed for commercial backing. For me, it was the incredible performances, rather than the writing and direction […]

Figures released today show that hate crime has risen in the last couple of years. This comes as no surprise to anyone who has undertaken PREVENT training recently. PREVENT is part of the Government’s counter terrorism initiatives which aims to prevent people from turning to terrorism. The hypocracy of the iniative however, is hard to […]

I have to set the scene properly for this review. We have to go back to the age of terrestrial television. No Uber, or swiping left for love, no Netflix n chillin, pre Facebook was your friend, Barack Obama was still POTUS and Trump was just a capitalist thug with power, time and money on his […]

I watched the first episode of “My Next Guest Needs No Introduction” on Netflix and was delighted and entertained by David Letterman interviewing former POTUS Barack Obama. An incredibly insightful, funny and inspirational 60 minutes of my life well spent. The next episode with George Cloney also brilliant. The third episode however started to go down […]

I remember having to revisit the local cinema three times before being able to purchase Django Unchained tickets. The story of a slave fighting for his freedom in Southern America by white director Quintin Tarantino was sold out for weeks. Rave reviews and the Guardian ‘comments section’ had packed out my local cinema with white, […]

I’ve decided I would like to rellocate to wherever the people defending H&M are from. I’ve read comment after comment across social media by people stating they do not understand why people are getting so offended. What a blissful existence they must have, to have never been exposed to the racist use of the word […]
