Shouldn't Louise Bours apologise too?

I am no fan of Joey Barton, he is a complete fool and he plays for QPR (which I'm still fuming about considering I was at Wembley last weekend supporting the Rams). Last night he featured on Question Time for the first time as a panellist along with Piers Morgan, Margaret Curran (Scottish Labour), David...

Gove's attack on American Literature.

He has done it again and this time he is attacking literature. This man cannot help but annoy the hell out of me. Gove has announced that 'To Kill A Mockingbird' and 'Of Mice and Men' will be taken off of the GCSE syllabus in favour of "fiction or drama written in the British Isles". The new syllabus...

So, the EU elections... let's talk UKIP!

Well after a few days of reflection, I can say that I am pretty happy with the result. (Ignoring UKIP for now) Labour gained 338 seats and the Greens 16 where as the coalition lost a total of 538 seats between them. Labour managed to take over what is usually easy Tory stomping ground and managed to...

What percentage of MPs like a bit of tit?

The No More Page 3 campaign released information last night about the number of MPs in certain parties supported their campaign. The results are interesting. Green Party Labour Party Lib Dems Tories Hmmmm... most of them were lower than I thought. Isn't it funny how UKIP aren't there?...

#backfire...

My day has been lightened (although there is currently a storm brewing outside). Yesterday UKIP Harrowgate started up the #whyimvotingukip campaign again as a final push in morale before today's European elections. Over the course of Wednesday, UKIP supporters came out in their thousands raving about...

The Grand Eagle Ball - best gig ever?

Those familiar with Laura Marling probably know that she did a gig in "The Grand Eagle Hotel" last year. This is a video that is on her website which shows the kind of things she was up to and I wish, wish, wish I had been there...

Five women I am in awe of.

As a teenager who has been brought up on the internet, I've been surrounded by millions of voices trying to be heard and some of them have rubbed off on me. I'm at that radical phase in my life where I have something to say about anything and want to know everything and I don't think that will change....

If childhood gender roles were carried on into adulthood.

We all know it, children's advertising is a haven for misrepresentation of both sexes. As a child Barbie was shoved down my throat as the "toy I am supposed to like" although I always wanted an Action Man; pink was "my favourite colour" because I was a girl although I very much preferred green (because it was the colour of my favourite football team. Most recently, my friends (all female) and I were...

Socialism is human nature?

So I was on Reddit the other day and came across this image. As you can probably see it is promoting the ideology of Socialism by saying that it is human nature. Although I am a socialist, I don't agree with this picture, in fact, I completely disagree with it as I believe that Capitalism is human...

Not knowing.

Not knowing I like you. Or at least I like who I am when I'm with you.  When I look into your eyes,  I'm on a different planet. I've always liked you... Even before everyone else did.  I still do...  And I don't know if its worse if you know, Or worse if you don't. I find this so beautiful. It reminds me of myself this time last year and to a certain...

Finally, someone speaks out about Gove.

This is the truth. I know because I've spent my life surrounded by teachers (family and friends) and I've also shown it to some of my teachers and they all agree. Is this what we want for British education? This woman deserves a medal. Follow me on Twitter...

Why is Media Studies a subject worth keeping?

Rumour has it that the government aren't sure whether or not they will be keeping Media Studies as a qualification as of 2016 as a GCE qualification. As a student who has taken the GCSE and is currently studying A-Level Media (as well as it being my favourite subject), I am outraged that in the near...

An update on Halal meat.

This week, I have visited both a Subway and a Pizza Express (not intentionally) and in the process was not converted to Islam and the food, as a whole - my calzone had courgettes in it, we very nice as it always it... don't worry racists of the world, it is safe! Here is my original post about the 'Halal Scandal': http://theelectricmangoclub.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/islamophobia.h...

Morrissey has Twitter!?

Here is Morrissey with a cat. Who is the maniac that has allowed one of the most outspoken, controversial people in the world a twitter account? Do they realise what they have done? They have given someone who pisses at least one person off per week a means of accessing just about every person in...

My thoughts on Gary Barlow.

Oh I'm conflicted. It is almost three years since I saw Take That at the Etihad on their 'Progress Tour' and I loved it. Little 14 year old me and my Mum dancing along to Robbie Williams (and the rest of them). At the time I was very much a fan of Gary Barlow, not in terms of his appearance but in terms...

Islamophobia...

Over the past month we have seen all of the country's leading political parties display their plea for the public's vote in the European elections due to take place on the 22nd. This has led to fairly 'interesting' representations coming out that not only are derogatory to Muslims but to anyone who...
