Is Tesco the ultimate feminist invention?

Posted on June 29, 2015 by charliebrades • 1 Comment

I was talking to a historical economist at Cambridge University the other day. Yeah sure as you do. And she told me that supermarkets have set women free. That if we’re to talk about feminism and women’s rights then the invention of the supermarket is as important as suffrage. I was taken aback, really Tesco? … Continue reading →

Why I think that Joey Essex has everything to do with the election

Posted on May 5, 2015 by charliebrades • Leave a comment

This week we have the most important election in a generation. With the rise of fringe parties like the SNP, Green’s and UKIP, we could permanently throw out our traditional two party system and we could see real change in the way we do politics in this country. Tonight Joey Essex’s political documentary will air … Continue reading →

I’m worried about our boys

Posted on May 1, 2015 by charliebrades • 1 Comment

 Guest Blog: @iamcherlynn This morning, my good friend was verbally abused. Don’t worry, the man paid her a compliment before the abuse – “Hey sexy, how are you” he said. How would you react to that? My friend decided to ignore it. The man then exclaimed “Wasn’t talking to you anyway you fat bitch” There … Continue reading →

Feminism Isn’t Easy

Posted on January 28, 2015 by charliebrades • 1 Comment

It’s been a hell of a week hasn’t it? First page 3 was gone and then it was back, but unfortunately one thing remained consistent, trolling. I’ve been called a fascist, bigot and bitter in my attempts to support the No More Page 3 campaign. Aside from the usual frustrating comments about feminists being jealous … Continue reading →

The Difficulty of Social Politics

Posted on January 8, 2015 by charliebrades • Leave a comment

Social politics is the underdog of the news agenda. These are the issues underneath the headline stories, they are the important issues more often debated in the academic worlds of philosophy or sociology than in newspapers or on the street. The types of politics that are a result of underlying social prejudices or subconscious believes; … Continue reading →

Over the last year we’ve been quite political haven’t we? All of a sudden it seems celebrities are coming out of their shells and have started speaking about politics more. The cast of Orange is the New Black stood proudly at the front of the Millions March in New York City, standing up to racism and police violence. … Continue reading →

Happy New Year from Recognise the Spin

Posted on January 2, 2015 by charliebrades • Leave a comment

In 2015 we will undoubtedly see British politics move away from the two party system that has dominated for so long. Over the last year it’s been the UK’s turn to see the rise of its own far right party UKIP. We now match our European and US contemporaries with a faux rebel party, that … Continue reading →

**Since writing this the person who made the comment has since contacted me to let me know that they didn’t write it in direct response to my blog – 100 Years is Too Long to wait for pay equality. But more of a general overview of the way the gender pay gap is reported. However … Continue reading →

100 Years is Too Long for Pay Equality

Posted on December 23, 2014 by charliebrades • 1 Comment

Last week whilst a vote was taking place inside the Parliament for pay equality, Gemma Arterton and the cast of the West End musical Made in Dagenham stood outside with banners held high in support of this bill. No this wasn’t method acting, this was real. They stood alongside the women they portray on stage … Continue reading →

Hong Kong: Occupy told through space

Posted on October 24, 2014 by charliebrades • Leave a comment

Guest Blog – Rik Glauert    Towards the end of September, as the scorching Hong Kong summer began to lose some of its sweaty bite, Hong Kong changed. Ten-lane avenues of tarmac ploughing between Hong Kong’s iconic skyscrapers accustomed to the steady beat of tyres became the stage for a battle of power and dreams. … Continue reading →
