Today is the day to put down the cakes, slip on trainers and try to develop new habits. Or is it?
The 1st January 2020 is the first day of the rest of the year to fulfil all the promises that we intend to keep for ourselves. The diet, the dry January, learning a musical instrument , running a marathon - no, half-marathon - no, 5k, walking more and using the stairs less, becoming a vegan - no, vegetarian - no, pescatarian, learning another language, writing a novel - no, a poem, keeping a journal, saying “no” to chocolate and “yes” to fruit and veg, seeing more of Great Britain and it will be fun even in the rain, attending dance classes and learning how to throw pottery.

If you trawl the internet for facts, events, images, videos, blogs, vlogs that relate to the last decade, you will be astounded.

The Arab Spring caused by the actions of a young man showed us the way in which social and digital media platforms played a role in the way news unfolded across the World. An entire region was destabilised and the consequences were felt far far away.
