Meanwhile lets just say that we are proud Luan de Burgh contributed a whooping 233 entries.
There’s a phrase that we have been using ironically as a nation for the past 10 years or so. It started off by appearing on artsy posters and moving swiftly on to mugs and t-shirts before colonising pretty much every printable surface, not only in our nation but across the globe. I am talking about […]
May the Fourth Be With You… Aside from this election being the ‘most important in a generation’ (currently bubbling just inside our top ten of campaign slogans), it is also perhaps the only opportunity in a generation to mesh the race for PM with the mighty Star Wars… So I invite you to pause for […]
Labour Suffer Another Election Interview Fall Just what the Labour party didn’t need at the beginning of week 3 of this election – another big media gaffe! It’s highly possible that the corridors of Labour Party HQ were echoing to the sounds of the Britney Spears classic ‘Oops we did it again!’ yesterday as Diane […]
Parliament signed off ahead of the election yesterday with a final exchange of blows across the House floor. In what was one of the longest Prime Minister’s Questions in memory (58 minutes), Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn squared off for what could be the last time. Both party leaders are on a crusade this election […]
In the absence of any sensational speeches or interviews over the weekend this side of the Channel, it is hard not to defer to our French neighbours for something exciting in the world of politics. The Tories may be dreaming of how many seats they can grab from Labour and the SNP; Labour may be […]
Not two days into this contest and already we have an early front runner for the Most Excruciating Interview of the 2017 General Election! Take a bow MP Dawn Butler (Labour) who delivered a toe-curling performance on Radio 4’s PM programme. Asked by host Eddie Mair what Labour would do about the ‘The City’ she broke […]
Well, here we go again… The first shots have been fired in a new battle for the hearts and minds of the British electorate. In the run up to June 8th, expect a rash of sabre rattling sound bites, dashing one liners and oodles of platitudes that claim to place the electorate’s long term future […]
Every now and again British TV bosses, in the chase for better viewing figures, will stake all on a punt to shake things up. Rarely does it work because, Brits – when it comes to their TV at least – don’t like change. The latest punt is unfolding nightly on ITV at 10pm, where the […]
In business, we are always looking for new ways to communicate. This takes the form of language that is used to build or cement relationships and also to convey concepts and ideas. However, often is the case that a well hatched phrase will take on a life of its own once released in the wild […]
“Brexit means Brexit.” It’s a phrase that the British people have become accustomed to hearing over the past few months, and this month the country will take the first step towards the abyss or the promised land (depending on who you speak to), when PM Theresa May triggers Article 50. Politicians do love a catchy […]
How do we decide who we are? Hetain Patel’s surprising performance plays with identity, language and accent — and challenges us to think deeper than surface appearances. This is a charming talk, with performer Yuyu Rau, and inspired by Bruce Lee which touches on a subject that we cal all relate to – unconscious bias. ‘As […]
Once upon a time, the screen was a place populated by professional actors and presenters and video came wrapped in a veil of popular awe and fascination. Of course those days are long gone and now the power of video has become accessible to all, not to mention a vital tool in the box of […]
