The kids are guided to Meg’s father by the 3-eccentric witch-like beings played by Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon and…

On Wednesday 24th April, the LSU Student Forum gathered to Elect the three new Development Officers (DOs) for the 2018-2019 academic year.
I consider my desk an organised mess. There are a range of things on my desk such as previous coursework, old train tickets and food. I don’t leave them there because I’m lazy – every single thing on my desk has its purpose or meaning. The old piece of coursework that I didn’t do so well in is on my desk to remind me to always do my best and to keep my standards high. It’s a motivational push from one of my not so great papers. Next to that are my post-its and a cup full of colourful pens.…
Volunteer writer Alannah Joy gives Label her take on the scandal engulfing a social media platform which pretty much all of us use… The Facebook and Cambridge Analytica data breach has been a hot topic on the news in 2018.

The Gold Coast of Australia, famous for its beaches flocked with tourists, is about to see even more visitors from the 4th-15th of April, in the 21st iteration of the games, as it anticipates the beginning of the Commonwealth Games. Seventy teams from fifty-three nations shall descend upon the city, just south of Brisbane, as well as thousands of travelling supporters. The games themselves date back to 1930, having taken place every four years, only being interrupted due to World War Two; with many symbolic gestures that are akin to its parent competition the Olympics. One obvious similarity would be…
The famous Grand National, held in Liverpool annually, is a steeplechase where horses are required to make multiple jumps over a four-mile course. As a huge animal lover from my early years, I used to love horse riding. However, in recent years my opinions have changed. Why? Because I believe it is cruel in a way for horses to compete in such a challenging event where they are whipped purely for human gain. Why else? The fences in the Grand National are very high, averaging around 1.5m. If the horse is not able to clear the jump its hooves can…
