- The History of Empire
Where we are part of the G7 and one of the worlds most economic powers, the current of our society is bubbling over with the history of empiricism. The penetration of our tiny islands influence into the vast expanses of Africa, Asia and the
America’s occurred in relatively recent history. Today our liberalist mainstream politics commend the pluralism of our society, but under the surface there always rears the ugly head of racism provoked and encouraged by the capitalist system. Should we be proud of our interventionist tendencies in foreign cultures? The question continues to scar the functionality of British society.

Jeremy Kyle? Constructive television?
China’s strict controls over their national media seems a forgivable act in leiu of the dire muck that British freedom-loving television producers put out there. Not only does banality and mediocrity lull people into expecting nothing more, it kills cultural productivity. The accessibility of such programs make otherwise unmotivated people prisoners in their own homes subjective to the will of cunning marketing executives. Show that Twix down your throat!
- Futility
Never has there been such escapism in this country. The games industry is booming, serialised television has increased its audiences, sport is made out to be a matter of life and death. We can’t bear the truth anymore, it’s just too depressing. We’ve constructed a material fantasy world for ourselves, only in fleeting moments do we acknowledge it.
