The Tepid Take

You might not have known, but I’m a fervent supporter of internet food channel, Sorted . They make quality, Top Gear-esque video recipes that are engaging and, perhaps most importantly, tasty. However, running a business to support four individuals and goodness knows how many more behind the scenes doesn’t come without some kind of necessary cash injections, the most obvious of which is a sponsorship deal. Sorted has taken multiple sponsorship deals in the past, most notably from Tesco and, more oddly, a car . These are both large corporates that people have heard of, meaning the effect is a tangible gain for Sorted and a largely intangible gain for the companies themselves. However, Sorted have also taken sponsorship from otherwise unheard of entities such as Lambsoc and Lovepork. What do these organisations do? What do they stand for? Most importantly, is it something worth complaining about? I would say so. Hit the jump to find out why. The straightforward answer to the above q

Today heralds a darkened mood within the Labour Party. Jeremy Corbyn is coming under scrutiny, his objectors are being hung out to dry, and Tom Watson is having a great time at Glastonbury. Many voices within the Labour Party are coming to the realisation that it might well be best for Jeremy Corbyn to stand down, in the aftermath of the local elections (which they didn't resoundingly win), the Scottish elections (which they definitely lost), and the EU referendum (which has led to the bitter revision of the class divide in our country, and also they lost). But why is this Labour’s, and hence Corbyn’s, responsibility? During the referendum on the United Kingdom’s membership of the United Kingdom, it cannot be denied that Labour’s voice was a quiet one in the midst of a sea of mostly Conservative voices. Britain Stronger in Europe utilised mostly neoliberal political arguments, and judging by the lack of action by ConservativesIN, Stronger In effectively became the right wi

The referendum on the United Kingdom’s membership of the European Union, for me at least, seems to hinge on three main issues: the economy, immigration, and the notion of 'taking back control' - or rather, sovereignty. But control for whom? For me, that was the question that pushed me to choose Remain, after I'd made the exhaustive choice to read through this entire list of puns. If we choose to leave tomorrow, we give a mandate to Gove, Johnson, and Iain Duncan Smith, whether we intend to or not. We enable far-right politicians with a wide range of problematic views. That’s worse than the kind of politics peddled by Brussels. Furthermore, we encourage an unsustainable viewpoint on immigration: that it can be altered by leaving an organisation that will nevertheless have control over us. We will be subject to accepting a majority of the EU's rules if we wish to trade with it, and the degree to which immigration will actually change may well be negligible. I can agree th
