President Trump.

Donald Trump is now the 45th president to be elected. Yep you just read that correctly. The sexist, racist bigot is now in charge of one of the most influential countries in the world.


The question that I want Americans to answer is how could they back track so much? They had just elected their first black president, for two terms, and now they have elected the most misinformed politician we've ever seen.
I thing that confuses me the most is how could any woman vote for Trump after he made sexist comments such as 'grab her by the pussy'. He responded when this was leaked by saying it was locker room banter. This isn't the case, it's disrespect to all females, the fact that he thinks it's okay to treat females in this manner is disgusting. The young girls of America now have this man as a leader and role model.

Of course in the run up to the vote Trump said some outrageous things, such as building a wall on the border of Mexico, to appeal to the radicals to secure these votes. I don't believe he will act on any of these things but the issue with Trump are his underlying beliefs and his lack of political knowledge. This man has control of nuclear weapons. This man was supported by Putin. When it was announced that Trump had been victorious in Russian parliament there was an outbreak of applause. Jim Pence, the soon to be Vice President, believes homosexuality can be cured. Is a man appointing someone like this to be his number 2 equipped to be President? I think not. How did he win? Obviously Hillary Clinton isn't the perfect candidate, she had made mistakes, but she has 40 years political experience, she would've had a former president at her side and it would have progressed America with female empowerment.

Now the vote has been cast. We are stuck with him for 4 years. I am interested with how he deals with the role; how will he work with Theresa May and the Queen, will his relationship with Putin function or deteriorate and how he will deal with the fundamental issues surrounding modern day America? I suppose we will find out.

The Game of Thrones characters whose stories ended well

SPOILERS AHEAD I have been debating the ending of Game of Thrones with my friends all morning. Do we all love that Bran is King? Nope. Should Jon be banished beyond the wall? Maybe not. Should the writers have given in to the Jaime and Brienne stans just to break Ser Brienne's heart? Definitely not. But there are some characters in the last season that met a satisfying end. Hint Cersei is not one of them. (I mean rocks? Come on!) Before I start going through the characters who I believe had good endings just know these are only my opinions. Please don't come at me with pitch forks if you disagree - let's discuss and be friendly. Now onto the good stuff. Theon Greyjoy. Photo credit: Alfie Allen I will never forgive Bran for not preventing the death of Theon. Let's be honest here, if he travelled all the way from Winterfell because he knew he would be King he could've told Theon to move aside for a few seconds before Arya kills the Night King. You can te...

James Haskell's heartbreak at retirement due to injury

James Haskell has been a professional rugby player for 17 years. He has won Premiership and European championship titles with Wasps and many other titles while playing in France, New Zealand and Japan. He has had a glittering international career with England as well, winning the Six Nations, a whitewash test series in Australia and earning 77 caps for his national side. He has also toured with the British and Irish Lions. Now at the age of 34 Haskell is retiring.* "It's really daunting, I'm effectively unemployed at the end of the season. It's terrifying as it will be as if I haven't done anything." Northampton Saints home ground Franklin's Gardens looks like a fortress. It looms over the houses and businesses that surround it. In the car park are Rolls Royces, BMWs and Audis of the players turning up to training. Wales fly half Dan Biggar skips up a flight of stairs as I walk into reception. It's hard not to feel the stardom and celebration of s...

A new chapter

Hello Lovelies! This week I thought I'd do a more personal post instead of the general topics. I came across a photo on Facebook recently (shown below) and this is what this post is inspired by. Over the summer I hit my lowest point, even lower than when my brother walked out 4 years ago, it wasn't a great time for me for a number of reasons. Me and my friends, who I'd been friends with for years, grew apart and now we don't speak. This is a natural part of life and there are no bad feelings between us but it was a bit shit at the time. Then my brother reached out to me and said he wanted to speak to me, I was a little nervous to let him in again ( which is understandable if you know our history) but I said that it would be good to build a relationship again. We bumped into each other at our local pub and it was if the last 4 years hadn't happened, it was so nice to have him back. Then a few weeks later he messaged my mum inviting her and my dad round his house...
