The Problem with Theresa May's cabinet reshuffle

Theresa May's Cabinet Reshuffle - Equality
My views...
Equality is incredibly important in today's society... Almost too important. 
   Theresa May based her cabinet reshuffle on promoting females and ethnic minorities to make the government 'look more like the country it serves.' But surely the people in power should be the ones with the most experience, qualifications or the people who are right for the job? Apparently not. 
   People in power are too concerned about how their team looks from the outside rather than how it runs from the inside. The correct decisions should be made to insure our country is run by the best candidates instead of placing people in power based on their looks. Genetics should not be allowed to decide the opportunities you are given but instead hard work and accomplishment should. The whole point of equality is giving people equal opportunities and not separating people based on their gender, race or ethnicity. Perception should not be more important than the smooth running of the government. This play to increase equality within the cabinet has, if anything, made the differences in our appearance more clearly distinct.

International Climate Change Protest - 15th March

Friday 15th March Climate Protest JOIN US IN WESTMINSTER - SAVE OUR PLANET THE CLIMATE CRISIS OPEN LETTER We, the young, are deeply concerned about our future. Humanity is currently causing the sixth mass extinction of species and the global climate system is at the brink of a catastrophic crisis. Its devastating impacts are already felt by millions of people around the globe. Yet we are far from reaching the goals of the Paris agreement. Young people make up more than half of the global population. Our generation grew up with the climate crisis and we will have to deal with it for the rest of our lives. Despite that fact, most of us are not included in the local and global decision-making process. We are the voiceless future of humanity. We will no longer accept this injustice. We demand justice for all past, current and future victims of the climate crisis, and so we are rising up. Thousands of us have taken to the streets in the past weeks all around the world. Now w

My COVID-19 Lockdown Experience

Life during the COVID-19 pandemic is completely different for each individual. Its impacts depend on individual circumstances but there is no doubt that it has had a global impact. I thought I would share my experience of lockdown and what I have been doing to adapt and change to this new world. During this period of COVID-19 lockdown in the UK, I have found myself very busy. I began by signing up to a french language course to keep myself busy and learn a language. I also had online exams which were 24 hours and open book so lots of time was spent preparing for them. Now, I have finished my first year of university and have some more time on my hands.  I have found myself keeping very active trying new workouts and the couch to 5k challenge. My usual dance classes moved online and I also tried out some other online classes, even teaching some of my own. I have recently discovered yoga as I find it a great way to stretch sore muscles, improve flexibility and calm the mind. I
