The Election Results.

By George Fairhurst
Let’s analyse this mess

So, that happened. I don’t want to type what just happened down, every time is just a stab to the brain cells that thought we were better than this. Donald Trump. Racist, sexist, homophobic, several times bankrupt, yet he managed to beat war monger, rapist defending, fracking supporting, charity stealing, Libya bombing and Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton. God where do I even begin to analyse this mess, I suppose I am going to start with the facts, then move into my rhetoric against everything. Let me just start with this though, this election has proven to me that I should never trust any sort of American journalism aside from the grassroots as Huffington Post, MSNBC, Fox and CNN predicted a Clinton win. 98% WERE THE ODDS ONE PAPER GAVE THAT HILLARY WOULD HAVE THIS IN THE BAG!

Writing Platforms- Which Are Best?

Written By Becky Holderness

I don’t know about you, but for me a major part of being a writer is sharing your work with the rest of the world. There’s nothing worse than writing something which you’re incredibly proud of and having nobody to share it with, which is exactly what inspired me to first post a story on a writing platform, working my way through Fictionpress, Wattpad, Figment and, finally, Penana.

A Great War Review

Written By George Fairhust

A review?  

Alright, put away your sparklers and stop with the “waaaaaaays” of enjoyment as I have decided to write a review after stating I would focus on news. For those wondering what the hell has happened, it’s that there is a big piece coming that will be a little more serious as it has made me livider than a UKIP Party candidate (You know who I’m referencing). So whilst I’m getting the editing done and wording it to capture how utterly narked I am, I thought I would bring something to light that deserves attention in the form of a review? I’m not too sure what this is as I’m not rating it, I’m simply making it clear I love this.

So You Want To Know About Attila the Hun?

Written By Clarissa O'Neil

You may know of the Huns from films such as Mulan or Night at the Museum and his depictions as violent and barbaric were more that accurate. You think the name barbarian would give that away.

Nevertheless he was a very effective leader, between 445 and 453 he expanded his empire from, you guessed it, Hungary to Northern Italy at which point his troops ran low on supplies and medicine, meaning after a lil’ chat with Pope Leo I he decided to go home and die, from apparently a nosebleed (allegedly, it's possibly it was caused by chronic alcoholism.)

Getting Personal

Written By Becky Holderness

It’s that time of the year again. 

You’ve just survived your first year of A levels before being launched head first into A2 work. You don’t know whether to rejoice because Christmas isn’t far away or cry because you have a monthly assessment tomorrow. And, worst of all, you’re expected to write about yourself in a way that isn’t purely critical to form something known as a “personal statement”. Let’s face it, it’s actually just a page of bragging… without sounding too full of yourself. Don’t even think about that.

An Introduction to the Madness

Written By George Fairhurst

It is often awkward to start writing. That’s one of its difficulties I suppose, how do you really introduce what you’re meant to write? That may be one of the weaknesses to what I will be writing, they will not be the most fluid articles. Anyhow, this is the first article I have written and rather than a banter filled explosive story about how Pineapple Pen or some other online trending topic is hilarious (that I will no doubt regret in three months when it reads as the most dated piece of literature to disgrace the web), I wanted to use this opener to perhaps state what to expect of my articles.
