For the last three years, the media in Britain has been dominated by one word which, even just four years ago, meant nothing. Brexit has taken over our TVs, our newspapers and our minds, creating a nation split almost exactly down the middle, and yet strangely united in both our confusion and disbelief, and in … Continue reading I Will Not be Silenced: The Effects Brexit is Having on All of Us

What Have A-Levels Taught Me?
I haven’t written in so long — not for myself, at any rate. Sure, I’ve had essays flying out of my ears — an expression I wish to propel back into widespread use —, and an endless quantity of notes, revision materials and the like. Amongst it all, I’ve had very little time to write … Continue reading What Have A-Levels Taught Me?

Little Moments
We were laughing, I think. Or maybe we weren't. Maybe they were laughing; maybe I was too. I can't remember. It's not important. It was a long time ago, anyway. Not so long ago, a few years, perhaps, or last week -- I forget the details. We were laughing. And then we weren't. It's strange … Continue reading Little Moments
What I’ve Learnt at College
It's hardly within my capabilities to deny that my blog posts have, in the last four months, become inconsistent, rare and altogether isolated from one another.
