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. For those of you that aren’t aware of the specific details, here’s a brief explanation and discussion on the scandal that has us all questioning, should we delete Facebook? Cambridge Analytica is a British Political data analysis firm whose main purpose is to analyse data concerned with the electoral process. As boring and technical as their role sounds, controversy arose…

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…
Tim McGovern gives us a rundown of ten top films which merit a thorough listening to, as well as being worth a watch! Before I begin with my list, I am aware that there are some classic movies that are missing from this list. Just to clarify, I would like to say that this list is instead 10 movie soundtracks that are worth listening to in their own right, separate from the film they feature in. Imagine driving along and playing these scores without a care in the world! I’d certainly enjoy the following. With this clarified, and over 100…
Volunteer writer Hannah Jade Thompson gives us her views on the trials and tribulations faced by two characters who were regular fixtures on our TV sets, until very recently … Controversial statement ahead… or is it? A few weeks back we saw the media chew up and spit out Jamie Carragher for spitting at a Manchester United fan’s daughter, who at the time was provoking Carragher whilst driving. Also, did anyone notice the driver who captured the moment of the former Liverpool defender on his phone was technically breaking the law? Since when was it OK to drive, be abusive and be…
The skin is the body’s largest organ and as a nation we are obsessed with being silky, smooth and glowing and for the most part skin can be great, especially when it looks good. But what about when it looks bad? Only so much green colour corrector and concealer can do the trick when you have a spot the size of Mount Everest on your face. I have compiled what I think are the best remedies for troublesome skin which will hopefully solve all your skin woes and leave you looking flawless. Tea Tree Anti-Imperfection Night Mask – The Body…
Ross, Joey, Chandler, Monica, Rachel and Phoebe – we all love them, right? But, there are definitely some characters in Friends that don’t get as much credit as they deserve and are ultimately underrated. Janice Litman Goralnik Season Appearances: 1-10 (19 episodes) As far as underrated Friends characters go, Janice is definitely up there as one of the biggest undervalued character. It’s not difficult to see why either, her character’s purpose is to be irritably whiney through every single thing she says. This is what makes her so brilliant in my opinion, she’s one of the only Friends characters that…
Has a man ever tried to tell you that he knows more than you? Has a man ever tried to explain your own expertise or body to you? Has a man ever spoken to you as if you have no idea of what is going on? The answer is most likely yes and the reason behind it is mansplaining. Mansplaining has decades of history behind it, but is a relatively new term that is constantly debated on a global scale. The term is used to explain the situations in which men explain something to women in a manner that can…
