  • Les Élections Françaises: politics beyond the nation’s borders

    Les Élections Françaises: politics beyond the nation’s borders

    “Devil’s advocate”: undoubtedly one of the cleverest and most frustrating roles known to mankind. When discussing the upcoming French elections with my beloved father, he took it upon himself to play devil’s advocate by asking ‘why should people care about the French elections when there is enough drama going on ...

  • Behind the Scenes in a Chinese TV show

    Behind the Scenes in a Chinese TV show

    I got asked to be in a documentary. Next thing I knew I was in an office, being asked my opinions on the mercurial Mao and Deng Xiaoping. I didn’t quite know what to say. Being in China I couldn’t exactly say they were the worst people in the world. ...

  • Is it Time for a Non Violent Approach to Terror

    Is it Time for a Non Violent Approach to Terror

    Clearly, the violent approach is not working. If we examine recent history, it is blindingly obvious to see that when terrorism is met with military retaliation, the result is often more terrorism. Surely, all we are seeing here is historical amnesia. Pacifism may seem like an impossible dream for many, ...

  • The Only Winning Move is to Stop Playing

    The Only Winning Move is to Stop Playing

    Considering the USA recently admitted a major fuck up in Kunduz, Diss has a new article on Kunduz by Tom Roberts, in a punchy fashion, unlike anything else you’ve seen. This isn’t going to be a funny one. The more we find out about the Kunduz hospital bombing the worse ...

  • Cultural Learnings from The Hermit Kingdom

    North Korea: the rogue pseudo-communist state that clings to the belly of China above its far richer southern neighbour. We all have preconceptions of the Hermit Kingdom, but what would it be like to study there?  As the rule of the Workers Party of Korea (and by default, the Kim ...

  • Why David Cameron was right to Bomb Syria

    Why David Cameron was right to Bomb Syria

    Last Wednesday the news that Parliament had voted to extend UK airstrikes on IS to Syria was a momentous decision, and one that we cannot yet accurately predict an outcome to. The Syrian/Iraq conflict is an insurgency that has a produced a deep and incompressible network of smaller campaigns. For ...

  • Why Banning Donald Trump from the UK will Achieve Nothing

    Why Banning Donald Trump from the UK will Achieve Nothing

    On the 7th January earlier this year, when three perpetrators caused the deaths of 17 innocent lives, we were quick to band behind France. We were quick to defend Charlie Hebdo’s right to freedom of expression, and quick to shame these terrorists for trying to curtail Charlie Hebdo’s right to ...

  • Referendums- Democracy or Despair?

    Referendums- Democracy or Despair?

    Conrad Kunadu discusses whether referendums are truly democratic or instead divide a nation. I always thought Switzerland did everything right. The food, culture, its picturesque landscapes and especially its democracy. In 2014 alone, there were 12 referendums. Few countries are so direct in their democracy, and with its ‘popular initiatives’, a Swiss citizen has a far greater individual ...
