Where is May?

Before I start, read this Huffington Post article. Theresa May is running scared Where is our PM? Have you seen her? Have you seen her without an invitation to see her? That is the real question.  No TV debates May has said she will not be participating in TV debates because she thinks the public want to meet with her and not see the debates. She will be interviewed on the tele though so there is that. The BBC and ITV have already said that they will hold leader debates and the threat is there to 'empty chair' her if she doesn't turn up. Unfortunately Corbyn's team have been hinting that he won't do a debate without May but I think that would be a mistake. I think he should definitely appear and make her seem the scared little wotsit she really is (wanted to say something stronger but I didn't because I am a nice girl). Who is she really meeting? That is the question. If May is so desperate to 'meet the people' on this campaign the...

Why we needed Andy Murray to win

While the post-Brexit blues still hang over us we needed something to raise the collective spirit of the nation and on Sunday 10 July 2016 that came in the form of Andy Murray winning his second Wimbledon singles title. As previously written about we who voted remain have been feeling something that can only be described as grief. Studies have been done to back this up. Apparently we are suffering sleepless nights, intense feelings of sadness and emptiness and going through the stages of grief like denial and anger. The other things since then include the dropping of the pound to a 31 year low and the rise in hate crime (racism basically). This is all off the back of Brexit.

England were knocked out of the last 16 of the Euros by Iceland who are made up of professional and amateur players and who's coach is a dentist. Then there have been the large n...

Staying 'IN'

In a few months time Britain will have a choice. Do we stay in the European Union (EU) or leave it? I am firmly in the yes campaign and believe that we are generally better off staying in the EU and that is where my vote will be going. I am happy to wear that out and proud. I would personally like even more involvement in the EU and would actually like to go and join the euro and stuff like that (imagine not having to go to a bureau de change to get your holiday money for somewhere like Spain). That is not going to happen any time soon though so what reasons do I believe we have for staying in. I have done the research and found some prime examples. These are by no means exhaustive but these are some damn good reasons for staying in. 1. For every £1 we put in to the EU we get £10 back. That comes back in trade, commerce and things such as tourism and students coming to study. That has to be considered worth it. Where else in the world can you get a good deal like that? 2. 400,000...
