Snow Way!
Posted on 5:25pm Monday 20th December 2010
Going Ice-skating is quite an easy option, just head down to your local side road and off you go. Driving a Vauxhall Corsa (no offence to those who drive corsa’s) in the snow is like driving a bumper car.

'Words Apart' at Finchley Youth Theatre
Posted on 4:29pm Saturday 18th December 2010
Something truly remarkable happened at Finchley Youth Theatre on Thursday the 16th of December. FYT hosted the youth poet collective ‘Words Apart’ for their first official gig. Every Monday night, a group of young poets would meet at the Canada Villa Youth Centre for poetry jam’s to share their own poetry and structure group pieces. Thus, Thursday’s gig was a culmination of weeks of hard work.

Nick Clegg or the proverbial Brutus in this theatrical joke of a government has turned his back on the voters who put him in to the ConDem coalition. Clegg has set up a dangerous precedent of politicians promising a policy in their manifesto then implementing the exact opposite once they get power.

Youth Centre's set to be dismembered by the coalition
Posted on 11:33am Tuesday 2nd November 2010
When you’re trapped in the bubble of academia enslaved in the monotonous routine of attributing a ‘grade’ to your name, you need a release. Something like ‘Economics’ for example is so painfully boring its like watching paint dry whilst being kicked in the crotch. Then you get home and see Adrian Chiles everywhere on T.V and you feel like throwing acid on your eyes.

What is a Minority?
Posted on 3:50pm Thursday 28th October 2010
For anyone not familiar with this big shin-dig held in London’s ExCel Arena it’s an event for Muslims and non-Muslims to exhibit stalls, lectures and a concert in one squished weekend like a disorderly, rushed club sandwich oozing with dis-organized ketchup.

Council Business took up my whole day yesterday. I started off with a meeting with the Borough Commander at Colindale Police Station. This was followed by the annual Child’s Hill Ward walk with officers.
