Farage, not Douglas Carswell; their only MP who you would think would be their largest asset, being in the houses of Parliament. Not only this, he can call upon £650,000 to finance his operations but that is where this rift in the party began. Carswell only took the money he needed, as he believed that was the kind of thing UKIP stood for, but the leaders demanded that he take all the money. Furthermore a couple UKIP’s top advisors have resigned, after a comment that Farage had some ‘inexperienced’ advisors. UKIP is in uproar after an election that saw them get 12.6% of the votes but one MP; and they are looking less and less like the party with the one clear aim: independence from the EU, with them now looking increasingly lost and without direction. You could say a similar thing about Labour who need to forge a new path; and I applaud Ed Miliband’s courage and unselfishness because he has not tried to pin the result on anyone except himself. He accepted the fact a new leader is required with names such as Yvette Cooper and Andy Burnham being thrown around. But if I was a Labour supporter, I would be sick of these politicians who went to private schools and haven’t had a job before politics. I would want someone who has been a working man; to
represent the party of the working man. Someone like Dan Jarvis would have been the perfect man: He has served in the army and received an MBE for his work, which very few men have achieved. But he pulled out of the leadership contest, as he needs to support his children; and with such a tough rebuilding job on their hands Labour need a strong leader and they need to change. I will leave you with this thought: whether you like them or not, Labour play a key part in British politics; and if they pick the wrong leader it could be the beginning of the end for traditional politics in Britain.

Warhammer: A Dulwich Despatch guide Earlier this year, the Lower School was lucky enough to have a special presentaƟon from the Warhammer Club, run by Danny Durkin and Josh Cunningham-BarreƩ. In the club we discuss tacƟcs,
techniques and armies. The main essence of the club is to baƩle each other’s forces against our own, and is always a marvel to behold. Warhammer is separated into two facƟons: Warhammer 40,000 set in the far future of the 41 st millennium, and Warhammer Fantasy set in the distant past, where magic, disease and monsters are rife. By popular demand, Warhammer 40,000 is the most popular game by far, with all the members playing baƩles between di.erent armies including, the defenders of mankind, the Space Marines, the elf like race, the Eldar, the Daemon killers, the Grey knights and the advanced technological race, the Tau.

The game is decided by numerous dice and tape measures. You use the tape measures to move the models around the gaming table, and the dice to 2nd out whether your shots injure or kill your opponent’s characters..
