Someone like a Chester Bennington or a Chris Cornell may only die once a year or every few months. But let us never forget that men like them die every single day - 12, every day, to be precise. And every one of those deaths is a travesty. Every one of those men had parents and someone who loved them. Continue reading...
Only full and proper state regulation of our financial and economic systems can prevent such a calamity from happening again. But it will also need state intervention in employment matters to protect workers' interests and to support the creation of stronger unions to help in doing so. For a book that unfortunately will be beyond the financial reach of many, consider getting your union branch or public library to order a copy. Continue reading...
The case against Boris Johnson is very clear. Here is a man who was sacked for lying twice: once by a newspaper editor, another by his party leader. He opportunistically backed Brexit only because he felt it would further his political career. He recently had perhaps the most humiliating carcrash interview of any Cabinet minister in recent history. And as Foreign Secretary, he is reducing this great country to an international laughing stock. Continue reading...
I can say that without any doubt, at all, there is an alternative to suicide. If you are suffering from depression or another mental illness, it can be incredibly difficult to see through the dark clouds but the light is on the other side of those clouds and whilst there is no easy fix there is always a way forward. Continue reading...
Linkin Park helped teenagers like me make sense of the issues that we faced. That sense of being alone against the world with no one to understand why you're lashing out at school, the confusion as to why all your friends have suddenly lost interest in you, Chester Bennington's voice had a way of resonating with it. Continue reading...
Amy Schumer is not fat. Vaginas smell. Men need to go down on women and talking about all of that is what makes Amy Schumer brave; not her posing semi-nude for a photo. And expressing what it truly feels like to be a woman in a man's world is not crude, it's liberating. Maybe watching The Leather Special makes you feel icky now, but it might free your daughter from feeling ashamed later. Continue reading...
Everyone has access to satellite TV and the internet now and everybody wants to be what they are not. If you are exposed to images of people with perfectly toned abs, slender hips, pneumatic breasts and sculptured eyebrows, then inevitably you're going to think that is what I want to look like. I want to be a soap star, a TV star, a reality star. I just want to look like them. Continue reading...
June was truly the worst month of our entire lives but started as the best. We had just found out we were expecting our second baby after only one month of trying. We were surprised but ecstatic. It was something we'd discussed for a while and felt that we were in a good enough place to handle another. Continue reading...
The reality is these attacks, whether involving gangs or robbery-related, are also happening in areas with high proportions of ethnic minority communities which means that ethnic minority and/or Muslim communities' perceptions of an increased threat to their safety is not misplaced, even though the attribution of the motivation may be.

The answer is that using such consumer focused tech to have clinical discussions is often illegal as it is could potentially breach the UK Data Protection Act, not to mention the NHS Act 2006, the Health and Social Care act 2012 and the Human Rights Act. Continue reading...
It is important we do make a distinction between the right to free speech and the rights of others not to be abused, threatened or lied to. Constructive criticism and questioning play a positive role in our society. Hate does not. Continue reading...
The current system needs change: bring back grants, keep interest rates to inflation and explore more ways to reform the progressive system we have now. If income tax needs to be raised to fund the grants, go ahead, but abolishing tuition fees is taking two steps back after moving an inch forward. Continue reading...
Under the EU-Turkey deal however, people have been stuck on the islands in tents or behind barbed wire with no seeming end in sight. They don't know if they'll be sent back, or go on elsewhere. They're stuck in political stagnation formulated by European policies. Continue reading...
In this vlog for HuffPost UK, Juliette Burton discusses how feeling powerless led to her being as kind as possible to everyone. She says that aside from making her feel more empowered, it actually resulted in her being kinder to herself and saved a man's life. Continue reading...
It presumes all boys have sex with girls, which they don't, and that all these boys have sex with girls from the UK who have had the vaccine. Again, they don't. By not vaccinating boys we are leaving men, mainly gay men, at risk of preventable cancers. And it's costing lives. Continue reading...
Because of the high rate of girls completing the two-course dose of the vaccine (over 85% in 2015-16), the theory is that boys will also be protected through sexual contact. But this does nothing to help men who have sex with men, and men who have sexual contact with unvaccinated women. Continue reading...

Everyone seems to agree, a skilled and trained workforce is a pre-requisite for a successful economy. New skills and training are good for individuals too. Continue reading...
Instead of listening to us, British Airways seems to prefer to defend low pay and inequality by spending millions on hiring aircraft from other airlines and trying to bribe us with pathetic bungs to stop us going on strike. Continue reading...
