Why PRETENDING to be young doesn’t work.
Did anyone watch Top Gear last night? Well just in case you missed it allow me to set the scene… Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond (they’re the presenters by the way) all decided to pretend to be 17 year olds boys buying their first car.

Media Consumption
Analysing the numerous journals we receive from our party heads, has got me thinking more in depth about peoples opinions and arguments and what forms these, especially when it comes to the world of current affairs.

Support for young people in the recession
We’re months into a recession and it’s still its taking its toll on just about everyone. It would appear very few people can escape it’s evil grasp.
There’s no denying people are losing their homes, redundancies are at an all time high and equally unemployment is ridiculously high.
All this doom and gloom got me thinking, is the recession really affecting everyone?

You could be forgiven for thinking that London stood on the brink of meltdown with the “entire” tube network being closed for 48 hours, but the resolve of a few made sure this didn’t happened, in fact I got to work quicker today than it took me to get home last night when they were all ‘working.’

Ethics and young people
For a couple of years now there has been a general feeling that young people are bound to get greener and more ethical as environmental and inequality issues become increasingly publicised. Brands have been arming themselves for a backlash against any unethical practises and have in fact been actively seeking out ways in which they make this world a better place. Prevention is better than cure right? Because the youth market really care and they won’t buy our stuff otherwise right? Er….actually no.

Becoming a victim of your own success
If you weren’t aware that this weekend was the final of Britain’s Got Talent (BGT) then quite frankly I don’t know where you’ve been. A ton of press surrounded the show but this year’s star, despite being beaten by the boys of Diversity, was most definitely Susan Boyle.

Batten down the hatches.
It’s not safe to go outside; there is a Swine Flu pandemic which will wipe out half of Britain that also threatens to reduce house prices, raise council tax and is claiming expenses on its second home in Mexico which it has flipped twice since the Greater Depression Recession started.
