WikiLeaks has contacted journalists with a list of 140 ‘false and defamatory’ statements concerning Mr Julian Assange. Recipients have been advised against using the statements in their reportage, as they have been deigned ‘false’ by the platform. The statements have mainly been taken from previous articles regarding Julian Assange, who has been holed up in the Ecuadorian Embassy for the past seven years. WikiLeaks has said that they paint an inaccurate portrait of the Australian computer programmer, who was granted political asylum by Ecuador following his role in the publication of classified US military documents. The reason for the message is unspecified; however WikiLeaks has singled out the Guardian newspaper, accusing them of publishing a string of false reports about Assange. In September 2018, the Guardian published a report entit led: ‘Russia’s secret plan to help Julian Assange escape from UK’. It illustrates an alleged plot to smuggle Assange out of th...

January- a month of fresh beginnings, where we cultivate ‘the new you/ me’. People take on all sorts of ridiculous resolutions to make that dark winter month just a little bit harder. Dry January is a popular one, where people vow to ditch the bottle and take on an alcohol free month. Others give up sugar, or smoking, or they promise to go to the gym every day, taking on a gruelling workout. But this year, there’s a new campaign in town- and it’s called JanuHAIRY. What's it about?

The idea is simple, ditch the razors, cancel your appointment at the waxing parlour, and just go ahead and let it grow! I’m sure that there are a lot of women who do this anyway in January. It’s a cold, dark month, and we spend the most part of it all wrapped up in layers upon layers. But the response on twitter has been surprisingly hateful. One commenter has written, in response to the ca...

It seems Apples shares have taken a little nose dive, as poor iPhone sales in China prompt Apple to lower its quarterly revenue forecast. It’s the first time in over a decade that this has happened- and it’s slashed the value of both Apple’s shares, and the shares of Apples suppliers. Apple’s CEO Tim Cook looks toward the Trade War for answers, blaming Apple’s slowing growth on China’s struggling economy. He’s referring to the trade war that’s underway between China and the USA, led by the Trump administration. The trade war in a nutshell: Trump has levied high tariffs on hundreds of products sold between the USA and Asia, in a bid to bring the power back to the States. In Trumps eyes, the whole malarkey is doing ‘GREAT THINGS FOR THE COUNTRY’. But for others, things are not so great: the changes are putting a chill over the Chinese economy, and the struggle is starting to show up on the balance statements of Apple, and beyond. Stocks in Silicon Valley, automakers in D...
