The art of the commute.

The commute is a relatively common experience for members of the British public. It is an art form of tired worn people, dancing amongst each other and fighting for seats.

The commute is where you will most likely catch every cold of the season. It is where you'll grow extremely well at balancing sue to endless hour's forced into standing due to the seemingly endless shortage of seating.

But the worst thing many would say about their daily commute is the boredom. Without a friend of 'travel buddy' on is isolated on the commute. A battle between courtesy and the ability to complete ignore those around you.  It is this boredom that drains many people on their commute, the inability to do anything slowly sucking ones soul away.

The art to the commute is to find a way to fight of this boredom. To read is one of the best and most widely adopted method to escape boredoms clutches, however when forced to standing, reading becomes less of a liable option. Another way to defuse the bordom is the less comonly adopted blogging. To blog during ones comute is to achieve something and to keep the mind ocupied. An option favourd by all who own a smart phone is to play games on 'apps' or browse social media sites. However unlike the book and blogging playing games can become repetitive and dull after a months worth of back and forth travel.

However without some form of distraction when commuting one may easily find themselves feeling stagnant, stuck, their life woefully repetitive and the hours spent travelling may start to dawn on you as hours wasted in this short life.

This can not be allowed, to allow this to set in one may then find themselves drawing the conclusion that whatever causes the commute is not worth the hassle of the commute. Of course one may be completely correct in this thinking, but then again one may have just thrown away something brilliant for fear of boredom.

The art of the commute is quiet simply not to get bored, to find ways and means to ensure that your mind is busy during the hours spent travelling, to ensure you do not become stagnant one may change the manner they commute, from where, by train, by bus by taxi by car. All helps to stop stagnation, and to make the comute a fulfilling and enjoyable thing.

Why I Do Not Care About Madeline MacCann

Of all the children who go missing everyday Madeline MacCann is virtually the only known face, or name on the register. Brought into the press again with the publication of The Truth of the Lie, by Portuguese police investigator Goncalo Amarla, Madeline MacCann seems to be the only cute child the press cares about. The Truth of the Lie states that the MacCann's killed their daughter, and then covered it up with an investigation, which of course the parents took to court. Whether this is true or not, the disappearance of Madeline was very much the parents fault anyway, having left her in a foreign hotel room while they went drinking all night and having different people check in with her every hour. If anything her disappearance should have highlighted poor parenting, the dangers of foreign travel with small children, or even just the extensive list of ongoing missing children cases. That is not how it went however, instead the press decided these parents care more than

Why We Need To Make Politics A Mandatory High School Topic

Basic politics is easy to grasp, but trying to teach yourself politics, in an unbiased manner, is very difficult. In my high school Social Education was made a mandatory subject, taught once a week, for the entity of the high school education, And while repeatedly learning the same things about sex and drugs is SO important there is no education on basic politics to speak of. Also I was never taught how to write a cheque, pay bills, or set up insurance, but those are separate issues. The recent run of elections, and referendums, and the poor youth turnouts are a huge sign that the populace is not receiving any understanding of basic politics. However, making it a mandatory topic within high school education, such as embedding it into already existent classes like social education, could prepare the future generations for making strong, well educated decisions when it comes the the governing of our country. With most parents not even having the most basic grasp of unbiased pol

Brexit Threat To Disability Rights

The UK Government's pursuit of a hard Brexit would widen the inequality gap faced by disabled people, Social Security Minister, Jane Freeman has said. Ms Freeman raised her concerns on a visit to Strasbourg today, where she discussed Scotland's leading approach to promoting the rights of disabled people with the Council of Europe and Members of the European Parliament. Brexit poses a significant threat to the right that disabled people currently have under international conventions, rights, Ms Freeman said must be protected. Ms Freeman, said; "While the Scottish Government continues working hard to improve the lives of disabled people in Scotland, we know a hard Brexit puts jobs at risk and will create a further attack on their rights, eroding the protections and obligations we have come to expect. "Through my dialogue with the Council of Europe and the European Parliament, I stressed what we are already doing to uphold these principles. "The best w
