The room of one’s own, where you can think, surrender to the words and meanings in your head without any disturbance, where life is about serenity and peace, can also become the chamber where the demons lay in wait, where they conceive moments where the writer has no choice but to surrender, to withdraw and retreat to a place where they have no room, all they have is memories, all they have is fear and regret.

History has for so long been built up from the position of what certain events have meant to people of a certain social standing, any disaster that occurs, there is a story to be told, however far too often the narrative is delivered in a way that the aspirations of script writers, directors and audiences identify with the idea of the more heroic, the more film friendly perspective which does not allow for any type of an underclass to be shown as anything other than shifty, untrustworthy, and taking advantage of the situation for their own good.

We meet people for a specific reason, we might not change their lives, but we might give them hope, courage and perhaps the understanding they have been missing from a family member who no longer talks to them; despite that person’s best efforts.

The computer game adaptation for cinema is not likely to ever disappear back into the hyperbole from which it was hatched, the dragon which laid the egg to which film embraced as a way of bringing the gaming community back to the realm of the big screen, has become undoubtedly entrenched and pushed to encompass every possible story going.

A good education is not just a right, it is the cornerstone of a civilised society, and yet between politicians, officials and high, often outrageous, demands from parents, school can become a chore, a place where learning is not fun, but a slog, one exacerbated by lack of investment, one in which the system is rigged against everybody concerned.
