Eddie Watson

I’m an 18-year-old sixth form student with an appetite for critiquing the happenings of every day life. My main interests include; music (listening and writing), football and video games (so basically everything you’d expect from a young male my age.) Academically I’m a student of History, Media Studies and English Language wishing to go on to study History at university. Writing is something I’ve recently sought enjoyment out of and has been integrated more naturally into academic writing as well as writing for entertainment. Somehow through all of this I manage to maintain some form of a social life and I enjoy going out or staying in with friends on a fairly regular basis. As for the future, my attitude is to keep my options open and “take life as it comes.”

Operation Cup of Tea

The reaction to the riots in London and other UK cities has prompted widespread dismay, and just because the voices of a few anarchists are loudest does not mean they will prevail...nor be listened to, whatever it is they're trying to say.

Astonishingly bad photoshop to helpfully demonstrate the thought of Gaddafi using kids as human shields...and as if they didn't have enough on their plates, they've given them Barbie dolls.

Insanity...1 Rationality...0

Lots of things have happened since I last posted, here are some of my thoughts on how they have bee covered (especially in the press).

"A trail of broken promises"

The Lib-Dem election campaign video is laughable now. Also the nature of student protest means two opposites are being awkwardly juxtaposed together, like Shaun Ryder and Gillian McKeith.

BT's Vision

Advertisements have come under strain in recent years. BT have attempted to cope through appealing to audience's emotions and asking them even to vote what happens next...
