It is only apt that in the times we find ourselves in that Communism should be once more a topic of serious debate, that the works of Karl Marx, in the bicentenary of his birth, and that of Friedrich Engels should be considered an alternative to the unpalatable rhetoric that comes with the ever diminishing responsibility that Capitalism has shown to be grateful to shed.

Since its first airing in 1963, Doctor Who has remained one of the most unique and absorbing programmes that the B.B.C. has had the honour to produce.

We all fight battles that nobody else considers to be of much interest, that we show a face to the world in which some will only remark upon with clarity and foresight, normally the people just pass by, it is to be expected that their lives will always matter more to them than your own, it is not kind but it is natural.

We are urged to listen to everything, to take note of all the words said and to take the appropriate action required to make sure all is understood, that there can be no ambiguity in the conversation, we then smile, pleased with ourselves that the dialogue has been completed and we can go and implement the ideas thrashed out.
Where there is discussion, there is also silence, but for the most part we don’t pay too much heed to the words unspoken, the pauses in which the exchange may have stumbled or become broken, snatched from the ether, the moment in which you should hear the silent scream become clear, Please Hear What I Am Not Saying.

The woods hold an allure over the minds of humanity that no concrete jungle can ever be seen as being able to convey; a building in darkness may have the element of danger attached to it, even perhaps an ingredient of peril, of intruding into the majesty of the mind which first envisioned the structure, yet a wood holds mystery that cannot be tamed, that cannot, unless we butcher our surroundings, be completely seen, the wood has many eyes and each one of them is trained upon the stranger who knows not where the traps are laid.

At its very best, Art should pull you into the subject at hand and make you feel like an invisible voyeur, a sense of the celestial moving silently through the void but touching upon the heavenly and the fire in that other place with equal charm and fondness; the Artist and Art, sometimes indecipherable, indistinguishable, often being drawn in the same breath and with same feeling of mysterious beauty thrown in for good measure.

It is a disease that somehow has managed to invade the very well of fears and become the very identity in which we realise that our lives are but feeding grounds to pestilence and sickness, arguably no other disease has struck as much terror into the hearts of humanity than that of Yersinia Pestis, the Bubonic Plague, the Black Death; whichever quaint word you choose to give it, it boils down to the same sense of heightened emotions, death that is painful, contagious, virulent and almost mercy.

There are those who will stare into the eyes of a soul who craves excitement and adventure from a young age and believe that they are looking into the heart of the demented and troubled soul. That to have a map on the wall when the heart has barely started to beat in time, the mouth that openly suggests that to go on holiday is not to stare at a beach or order the same food as you would get in a crumbling old chip shop somewhere in the Midlands, is the words of fools.
Jobe- The Beginning of A Liverpool Legend is Liverpool writer John Thompson’s debut novel, and is a nostalgic look at 19th century Liverpool and the thriving port that bought so much wealth to the city.
Mr. Thompson’s research into Victorian Liverpool is extensive and he has created a rich, vibrant description of the city. Mostly seen through the eyes of eight year old Jobe, he has painted a bleak picture of what young Jobe and his friends face daily; the struggles that his mother Kitty faces in the tenement slums where she does her best to keep her son safe. But it has not always been this way, and as is often the case circumstances change the fate for young Jobe that alters the course of his life for good.

The insatiable desire to learn, experiment and not stand still, that is the first thought that might run through the mind when reading Bruce Dickinson’s What Does This Button Do? Yet despite all the glory, the incredible dexterity in which he has juggled the almost impossible, lead singer and unmistakeable voice of Iron Maiden, half a dozen solo albums, writer, maker of film, swashbuckling blade for Great Britain, airline pilot and for all we know would make a finer example of Prime Minister than many of the incumbents to hold office. What comes across is the realisation that at times this is a man who has actually lived; he has not taken a single day for granted and that in itself is more powerful, more genuine, than many autobiographies that seek to address a perspective of a life in the limelight.
