!GRAB! the world's attention

If I was to hold a vote, I'm sure about 99.9% of my school would never have watched BBC Parliament. Or had been to watch a Shakespeare play. But why not? BBC Parliament deals with some pretty major issues such as the running of the entire country...

"Historic Solutions" No.1

OK, slight revision to plan,I'm going to do many famous leaders/figures rather than groups, unless I can think of a particularly funny line for a group. So, to start with, I have chosen the Romans, from which many great quotes have originated. Mark...

Alistair's Budget, Is It Enough?

Stereotypes-and (EX)Stereotypes!
