Who Are Bluestreak Crystals and What Do They Offer?

For anyone in the world of jewelry making, fashion embellishments or luxury crafts, the phrase “attention to detail” isn’t just a throwaway—it’s the whole game. The most exquisite designs are often defined not by grand scale, but by the smallest, most meticulously chosen components. Which is why sourcing top-tier crystals isn't a niche task, but a vital step. Enter Bluestreak Crystals—a name that’s increasingly gaining traction among professionals and ambitious hobbyists alike.

And yet, despite their growing reputation, many still ask: who exactly are they, and what sets them...

A sketch of Spain

“I've never seen an English person smile. Is that because of their bad teeth?”

It came as a bit of a shock when, during my year abroad in Spain, I discovered the stereotypes that Spanish people have of the English. As well as poor dental hygiene, they seem to believe we are a race of silent, serious people, who drink tea from dawn till dusk while discussing the Royal Family. We are also stressed all the time and definitely have no idea how to 'fiesta'.

Now, I agree that the Spanish are champions of partying, but a main factor in this, of course, is the differences between...

Who's Guilty of this?

We are always surprised by the proportion of businesses that don’t open their emails or respond to voicemail or telephone messages on a regular basis and we wonder what level of business is being lost by this apathetic approach? In the last week alone we know of several approaches made to businesses to make enquiries or to place orders for products or services where no-one has responded. Admittedly it’s the start of the holiday period but does that mean that all business grinds to a halt during this time? We regularly hear about how tough it is out there and how many businesses would...

Message from Ben Bradshaw MP

The Labour Party was born out of the trades union movement. As the industrial working class organised to protect itself against exploitation they needed a political party to fight for them in Parliament.

Despite the decline in mass membership of unions over the years, that relationship is as important today as it was in the past. With the scandal of zero hours contracts and a Government intent on tearing up health and safety protection and other employee rights, it is vital that the voices of ordinary working people are heard in our political debate.
