Left vs Right – Issue 13

Is the last referendum going to be definitive for the foreseeable future or should a government enact policy to decriminalise or legalise marijuana?   LEFT The recent referendum at the 2020 elections showed that public opinion for legalising marijuana was split down the middle and while the referendum did...

This vs That – Issue 13

Town VS Flat Parties   This I think it’s about the fourth time I’ve written one of these, but I feel like I need to hammer it home once and for all and make these cretins understand that town is the true king of the sesh. Some of you...

Yam and Troy the Science Boys – Issue 12

In 1938, a year before the beginning of the second world war, two German scientists Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassman, accidentally discovered nuclear fission. Germany was big into its master race and genocide shit at that time and had the cunning plan to try and develop a weapon to...

Ahh McKay, You’ve Done It Again

It’s been known for a while that us humans are causing climate change, the increasing frequency of devastating extreme weather events and unprecedented rate of extinctions should have been a dead giveaway, so it’s pretty funny to think there are still climate change deniers out there.

After I wrote about the European Super League in my last column over a fortnight ago, I thought “yeah, no one is going to try something this dumb again.”    I, alongside most other sport fans out there, had every reason to believe that everyone had learnt their lesson...

Reo Tauira – Issue 9
