EDITORIAL: Strike while the iron is hot
This week will see the largest strike action in generations taking place. It will not just be limited to Queen’s, almost every public sector worker will be joining the pickets. There will be demonstrations, marches and lots of angry managers. The government is trying its best to put out propaganda about how much it will cost the economy, how it’s going to stop an already non-existent recovery. They are threatening that if workers strike negotiations will be halted and plans will implemented as they are. BY BEN FINCH FULL STORY

REVIEW: Kelly Clarkson – All I Ever Wanted
BY LEE BRADY
Kelly Clarkson has made a few bold claims in the run up to the release of her new album. Radiohead, Muse, Prince, Sheryl Crow and Garbage have supposedly been influences in the writing process of her fifth album, Stronger. Poor examples, as almost none of them, bar Sheryl Crow (at the very end), show up. This is no alt-rock piece to define a generation, but what it is isn’t all that bad either. In fact, it’s very good.

REVIEW: Wuthering Heights
Wuthering Heights is Andrea Arnold’s (and co-writer Olivia Hetreed’s) pseudo-radical re-imagining of Emily Brontë’s novel about passion and unrequited love. By transposing her trademark documentary style and mix of unprofessional and seasoned actors from Fish Tank to this adaptation, Arnold creates a version of the book that may divide fans of the book despite making perfect sense.
