In the 21st century, labour feels inextricably tied to our existence. Something which we value above all, something inescapable and permanent. It is undoubtedly the driving factor for our lives, and from the moment we are born, the concept of ‘dream jobs’ and making money are engrained within us. But our lives weren’t always dictated by this ever-growing need to make money, this insatiable desire to earn and hoard more and more. The very beginnings of the human race revolved around hunting food to eat and little else. We worked because we physically could not survive if we didn’t. 7…

Liberalism is a political theory which has been around since the 17th century as the people began empowering themselves rather than relying on authority to tell them the objective good and bad. often confounded with the left wing of the political specturm, this ideology encompasses a majority of modern politics and its key principles are in almost all of the agendas we see both in the media and within electoral politics. it is a defining school of thought in the 21st cenityr, which has evolved and expanded astronomically since it was first birthed by John Locke and other classic thinkers…

i write this in the face of another tragedy, yet one hardly surprising. on the evening of sunday 23 august, a video was posted to facebook of the burtal murder of a Black man, in front of 3 children in broad daylight. the truth of this story has become blurred, with each political side telling a different sotry, the one which best fits their narrative. some say he was breaking up a fight between two women, others say he was erratically waving a knife. but to me, this doesn’t matter. the truth is a different issue entirely surrounding the ccriminalisation…

2018. Elwaldo Romeo woke up one morning, a day like any other, to find the letter that would change his life, lying like a bomb ready to explode at any moment on his doormat. The letter was from the British Home Office, claiming that Elwaldo (a 63 year old man who had lived in the UK for over 59 years) was “liable to be detained” as he was “without leave”. …

“I can’t breathe”

The words of man who was murdered in cold blood by someone who because of his badge and the colour of his skin, thought he had the right to take the life of somebody else. The words of a murderer, involved in 6 previous killings. He was not doing his job and he doesn’t deserve an ounce of sympathy or respect. Neither do those responsible for the names listed above or the other hundreds of names of the victims who were killed by entitlement and the systematic oppression, never truly eradicated.

Over and over, people claim if…

On March 24th 1976, a nation was changed forever.

In the early hours of that Wednesday morning, a military right-wing coup d’etat overthrew the legitimate government in a major shift of political power. Their tyrannical rule terrorised the country, held in a vice-like grip for 7 long years. In those 2555 days, horrors were witnessed that could never be imagined, heinous crimes were liberally committed, and an inter-governmental operation was set in motion inciting the deaths of over 30,000 civilians. Their victims: The Disappeared of Argentina.

2 years prior, Juan Peron (Argentina’s 29th democratically elected president) died of natural causes…

Sustainability and fair labour is often hailed as the future saviour of the globe. We place this blind faith that as soon as everything we produce is sustainable, all our problems will be solved, all our worries will be qualmed and all our suffering will dissipate into nothing more but a blurry past. But sitting, stopping and thinking will produce a different response to the sigh of relief we often give when we see the brightly coloured signs claiming sustainability.

Sustainability describes a business that causes no unnecessary or irreversible harm to the environment, and provides working conditions and wages…
