										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Here is a breakdown of what’s circulating&nbsp;<strong>about the much-talked-about interview between Clavicular and Piers Morgan</strong>, including the moments that have gone viral online and what’s been confirmed so far by clips and reporting. Much of this is drawn from publicly available clips and writing about both sides of the exchange.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Who Is Clavicular</h3>



<p>Clavicular is&nbsp;<strong>American online streamer and influencer Braden Peters</strong>&nbsp;known for controversial “looksmaxxing” content on platforms like Kick and TikTok. He rose to prominence through extreme self-help and body-modification rhetoric that critics call problematic, and he’s been involved in viral stunts and clashes with other media figures.&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe title="Clavicular Interviewed by Piers Morgan" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7l0YGVWZWDs?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Context Before the Interview</h3>



<p>In January 2026, Clavicular was at the center of a viral backlash after a&nbsp;<strong>nightclub livestream clip showed him and several polarizing online figures singing along to Kanye West’s banned song “Heil Hitler”</strong>. That incident was widely condemned and has become part of the backdrop to his broader notoriety.&nbsp;</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Highlights From the Interview With Piers Morgan</h3>



<p>Clips from the interview broadcast online show both personalities sparring over a number of issues. Some of the moments people are talking about most include:</p>



<p><strong>Clavicular rejects any link between listening to “HH” and his actions</strong><br>In the exchange, Clavicular reportedly dismissed suggestions that the “HH” song controversy was reflective of deeper intent or alignment with hateful ideology. He framed it as an internet culture moment rather than something that defines him, pushing back on critics who equate the song incident with serious political or moral alignment.&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Piers Morgan tries to press Clavicular about the people he has collabed with and the fact that they played the song HH at a club <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f440.png" alt="👀" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><br><br>“I am not political, I’m here to talk about looksmaxxing. There’s no reason for you to do this whole jestermax, I would collab with any leftist.” <a href="https://t.co/PRviCOVKUU">pic.twitter.com/PRviCOVKUU</a></p>&mdash; Capo 𓆗 (@knowncapo) <a href="https://twitter.com/knowncapo/status/2024181609897820542?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 18, 2026</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<p><strong>Clavicular teases Piers Morgan about “looksmaxxing advice”</strong><br>One clip circulating in social feeds shows Clavicular quipping that Piers might actually benefit from “looksmaxxing advice,” a tongue-in-cheek comment aimed at poking fun at Morgan’s personal life. In the clip he jokes that Piers should focus on his own attractiveness to avoid scenarios around his wife posting pool boys with suggestive captions. This moment went viral because it mixes internet subculture slang with a very traditional talk-show insult. He even used a soundboard. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Clavicular tells Piers Morgan if he ASCENDED his wife wouldn’t C*CK him <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f480.png" alt="💀" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> <a href="https://t.co/hvntM05m1o">pic.twitter.com/hvntM05m1o</a></p>&mdash; Clavicular Updates (@Clav0Updates) <a href="https://twitter.com/Clav0Updates/status/2024181403919786127?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 18, 2026</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<p><strong>The Epstein Questions</strong><br>The interview also turned to a more serious topic when Clavicular confronted Morgan about his past associations and appearances in documents tied to the&nbsp;<strong>Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell investigations</strong>. Clavicular asked Morgan directly whether he had ever been to Epstein’s private island or maintained a close relationship with Maxwell. That line of questioning echoes recent real-world concerns about Morgan’s name appearing in the public Epstein files more often than he would like to admit, though reporting so far makes clear there’s&nbsp;<strong>no evidence of wrongdoing on Morgan’s part</strong>.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Morgan responded by reiterating what he has said in other public forums: that he met Maxwell only briefly at a book launch once, and that he has never met Epstein or been implicated in any criminal activity connected to them.&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Clavicular asks Piers Morgan if he would like to apologize about being in the Epstein files <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f923.png" alt="🤣" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> <a href="https://t.co/DBFZGiisww">pic.twitter.com/DBFZGiisww</a></p>&mdash; Instant Clips (@Instant_Clipss) <a href="https://twitter.com/Instant_Clipss/status/2024186706182750322?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 18, 2026</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<p><strong>No apologies needed for Morgan’s kids</strong><br>Another line from the interview that circulated on social media was Clavicular telling Morgan that&nbsp;<strong>his children will never be as famous as Clavicular is, so he has nothing to worry about in terms of public apologies or media scrutiny</strong>. This moment was framed as a bold, provocative jab rather than a serious claim about fame or legacy.&nbsp;</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Other Tense Moments</h3>



<p>Other parts of the interview shown in clips include:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Clavicular pushing back on questions about his broader influence and how he monetizes his platform.</li>



<li>Morgan trying to steer the conversation toward more traditional interviews about cultural issues and online behaviour.</li>



<li>At times the two speakers talk past each other, with Clavicular using subcultural jargon that appears baffling to a mainstream audience. </li>
</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What We Don’t Yet Know</h3>



<p>Because much of this interview is circulating through clips on social media rather than full, verified transcripts or published reporting,&nbsp;<strong>the exact wording and context of many exchanges remain unconfirmed</strong>&nbsp;outside of the platforms where they were shared.</p>



<p>If a full recording is published by the interviewer or by mainstream media outlets, that will allow a clearer, verified account of everything that went down. Until then, the key moments that have been widely shared capture the tone and tension of the exchange — a mix of mockery, confrontation, and internet culture clashes.</p>

<p>We have been featuring <strong><a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://karlismyunkle.com/?s=frank+bramble" target="_blank">Frank Bramble</a>&#8216;</strong>s fantastic universe for the last year, and wanted to celebrate the milestone with an exclusive artist interview. This coincides with today&#8217;s launch of his new single,<strong><em> Empty Thoughts</em></strong> featuring <strong>Hanwell</strong>!</p>



<p>We learn that <strong><em>Empty Thoughts</em></strong> is the second in a four track series of releases. We love the thought process that Frank shares, as well as his brand of authentic story-telling which comes to life flawlessly on the Brit pop style opus. <strong>Hanwell</strong>&#8216;s presence on the track is awesome, and we appreciate how the pair&#8217;s vocals fuse together seamlessly!</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-recalc-dims="1" fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="640" height="640" src="https://i0.wp.com/karlismyunkle.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Empty_Thoughts_Cover.jpeg?resize=640%2C640&#038;ssl=1" alt="" class="wp-image-39107" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/karlismyunkle.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Empty_Thoughts_Cover.jpeg?w=640&amp;ssl=1 640w, https://i0.wp.com/karlismyunkle.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Empty_Thoughts_Cover.jpeg?resize=632%2C632&amp;ssl=1 632w, https://i0.wp.com/karlismyunkle.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Empty_Thoughts_Cover.jpeg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/karlismyunkle.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Empty_Thoughts_Cover.jpeg?resize=100%2C100&amp;ssl=1 100w, https://i0.wp.com/karlismyunkle.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Empty_Thoughts_Cover.jpeg?resize=1536%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https://i0.wp.com/karlismyunkle.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Empty_Thoughts_Cover.jpeg?resize=2048%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></figure>



<p><strong>Hey Frank Bramble! We&#8217;ve noticed a consciousness shift in your latest releases. Can you tell us more about how that came about?</strong></p>



<p>Well at the time of writing this waterfall of tracks, Hanwell and I were living together in a flat share while studying. With both of us working within the same sphere of music we constantly pushed each other to come up with new ideas, but also to get closer to figuring out our “sound” if you’d call it that. We’d have conversations whenever we’d go outside for a vape or smoke and just spend the entire time talking about a piece of music tech, or a production technique. So, following these daily interactions, I’d say his guitar tones and passion for songwriting really rubbed off on me. Plus, the guy makes sick tracks and it’s hard to hear his stuff and not want to make music like him. In the end this culminated in me pushing for a more “bandy” style sound for these tracks, however I don’t expect this to be the final evolution.</p>



<p><strong>Would you say that creating music is cathartic for you?</strong></p>



<p>Absolutely! When I work on a track, particularly an idea that’s been stuck in my head, it can be a serious relief. A lot of my tracks you’ll notice tend to question the realities I deal with every day. The most common emotions I end up releasing when I write a new song, are sadness and anger. However, being in a great mood, and then finding a way to show that in a musical form can put me through the roof.</p>



<p><strong>What are your philosophies and intentions as an artist?</strong></p>



<p>I try to use everything I make and everything I release as a point to learn from. My first release “The 4AM Song” was a unique concept, but if I was placed in that same situation, knowing all I know now, it wouldn’t exactly be a masterpiece but the textures, instrumentation… in fact everything down to the marketing would be done differently. Except from the party, the release party was very fun. As for my intention, well being brutally honest I’m just trying to support myself doing something that I love, it’s a long road but at least I’ve already started moving.</p>



<p><strong>What can fans expect from your weekly Twitch series?</strong></p>



<p>Every Wednesday on Twitch.tv (Frank0Producer) I do livestreams that consist of two major segments. The first segment I use to showcase anything I’ve worked on in the last week, followed by me working on either a showcased project or starting a new track! Then, in the following segment, once more of my viewers are in the chat, I start a “Feedback” segment, where viewers send me their music and I give them constructive criticism using my personal experience as a producer/artist. They can range from being a couple of hours onwards, but Wednesday is ALWAYS music day!</p>



<p><strong>Do you have plans for upcoming live shows?</strong></p>



<p>Live shows are somewhat of an internal conflict I am yet to decide on. So far, I&#8217;ve only ever done one live performance, and it was an open mic with a backing track. Like anyone else&#8217;s first performance, it wasn&#8217;t something to write home about, but it was somewhat of a personal achievement! I think I’ll certainly start to move more in that direction, it’s just a case of pulling together a band and expanding my discography!</p>



<p><strong>Which living or deceased artist would you love to collaborate with?</strong></p>



<p>This is probably the hardest question, but I’d have to say Weezer. I think out of most of what I listen to, they’re one of the bands I’ve been listening to the longest, and no matter how much they vary the styles they work with, I always seem to be able to find a common ground with their style. Even if the only overlap is the use of synthesisers occasionally… They’re dope.</p>



<p><strong>What advice would you give to 10-year-old Frank?</strong></p>



<p>I would tell him to carry on learning the guitar, and probably start learning music theory alongside it. I know that I could be more philosophical in terms of life lessons, but most things are best learnt the hard way… plus it’d really help me out right now if I was better at guitar…</p>



<p>We are grateful to<strong> Frank Bramble</strong> for his time, and have added Empty Thoughts to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream his growing discography and anticipate the second half of the waterfall of releases!</p>

<p><em><strong>Mayoral Candidate Siobhan Benita on a Conscious Future for Our City</strong>;</em></p>



<p><em>Interview by NEO 10Y</em></p>



<p>As a human being actively trying to manifest a utopian future through consciousness, art and my voice, my path has started to cross with some really invaluable leaders. A month ago at a cannabis summit in London, I was privy to a panel discussion with Siobhan Benita who is the Liberal Democrat candidate for Mayor of London. We spoke briefly that day, but connected pretty immediately on values for the future of our influential global city, and her perspective on many intersections of her campaign.</p>



<p>I am certain London is ready for a female Mayor who stands for progress, has the experience to deliver and genuinely represents the multicultural city that we are.&nbsp;The day we did this interview was the third time I met Siobhan Benita. We have formed a habit of hugging on greeting each other, which says a lot about a politician in the midst of a media circus around the corona virus.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1600" height="1066" src="https://i2.wp.com/karlismyunkle.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/siobhan-benita-neo-10y-nik-thakkar-interview.png?fit=1020%2C680&amp;ssl=1" alt="" class="wp-image-21204" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/karlismyunkle.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/siobhan-benita-neo-10y-nik-thakkar-interview.png?w=1600&amp;ssl=1 1600w, https://i0.wp.com/karlismyunkle.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/siobhan-benita-neo-10y-nik-thakkar-interview.png?resize=632%2C421&amp;ssl=1 632w, https://i0.wp.com/karlismyunkle.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/siobhan-benita-neo-10y-nik-thakkar-interview.png?resize=1020%2C680&amp;ssl=1 1020w, https://i0.wp.com/karlismyunkle.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/siobhan-benita-neo-10y-nik-thakkar-interview.png?resize=768%2C511&amp;ssl=1 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></figure>



<p>Her passion for and knowledge of the city is palpable. She begins to talk about ideas of making “public spaces open to the public 24/7” and the importance of “reusing the spaces that we’ve got”. There was a sense of wanting to keep the nocturnal elements of London alive, something that had historically been so integral to the personality of the city that had somewhat dissipated over recent decades.</p>



<p>Siobhan&#8217;s understanding and passion about diverse ideas and niche communities was already demonstrable, more so than any other politician I have ever heard speak before. She was enthusiastic about the fact that there were three women showing her around the Museum of London building site before our meeting, which she noted is a rarity in such a male-dominated industry.</p>

<p>I wanted to know what Siobhan felt she had learnt from the current Mayor, Sadiq Khan who is the first Muslim and ethnic minority mayor that the city of London has had.</p>



<p>“Every mayor has done things to make this city better. A lot of the things we are still seeing now are because of the work that Ken Livingstone did, as he had that big vision, he had the privilege of being the first, who started from an empty sheet.</p>



<p>“I think every Mayor has done stuff to improve London’s environment, to tackle congestion and pollution issues. I think with Sadiq, he has focussed very much on values which I think is a good thing.</p>



<p>“My take on that is, if you like those values, then you will love mine, because I am not just in that space, I will also take those values and deliver on them.”</p>



<p>Siobhan grew up voting Labour, but says Khan “has been disappointing on the bold progressive steps that London wants.</p>



<p>“If you’re not going to do it in London, you’re not going to do it anywhere.”</p>



<p>As a technology enthusiast, she’s also adamant that facial recognition as it currently stands is not ready for roll out to the level to which it has taken place, and is one of the few politicians to acknowledge the ramifications of this on race and privilege.</p>



<p>Talking about the key goals of her campaign, she knows that she can create a London that is safer, that is greener, but one thing Siobhan says she is really proud of is her campaign to create a kinder London.</p>



<p>“I think kindness goes to the heart of the other two and if you look at policy making through the well-being approach which has already been adopted in New Zealand, you start making different policy decisions which place a different value on people’s mental health as well as their physical health.</p>



<p>“You wouldn’t have the rough sleeping numbers that we have at the moment in London, because you wouldn’t accept that level of homelessness in a city like London. You wouldn’t even have things like homelessness, lack of affordable housing and even things like crime and knife crime.</p>



<p>“I think that a well-being approach would make you change the way you do things, but actually you can look at less obvious things like our daily commute, in London, how stressful it is and there is survey after survey where people say the most frustrating thing about living in London is how bad the commute is. If you had a wellbeing approach, we would have better conversations about how we upgrade our transport systems as well.”</p>



<p>This reminded me about how the system is so heavily built around the 9-5 construct, so I asked Siobhan if she would consider vocalising with regards to a focus on more flexible working.</p>



<p>She agrees, and shares a story about when she was managing teams on different schedules.</p>



<p>“It shouldn’t matter when you do your work or where you do your work as long as it is done to the standard that we’ve agreed and to the deadlines that we’ve set.”</p>



<p>She confirmed that this built up more trust but that human nature meant that her teams gravitated to wanting to be together a couple of times a week anyway for the shared goals.</p>



<p>Siobhan is a mother to two Gen-Z daughters &#8211; the eldest is vegan &#8211; who she notes have influenced her greatly in terms of forward thinking and compassion.</p>



<p>“This goes to the heart of the kindness and compassion agenda. Being aware of the impact that your decisions have on everybody else around you, what you eat wear to what you wear and what you buy. We’re far more conscious than we used to be.”</p>



<p>She continues and makes sure to acknowledge her own privilege, saying: “In the position that I am in as a public leader, you can really make a difference by looking at a well-being approach to budgeting and by placing compassion at the heart.”</p>



<p>At one point during the interview the wider Liberal Democrat team walked past and I paid attention to the diversity quota which felt representative, they also took me on the tour of the offices which echoed what I’d already seen.</p>

<p>Siobhan’s mum is from India and dad is from Cornwall and she goes into detail on how she has lived a multicultural history and childhood, and it is reflective of her role and purpose in society.</p>



<p>She talks about how former leader Jo Swinson was on the receiving end of a lot of misogynistic attacks during the election campaign, and how from first-hand experience she feels the Labour party has a problem with misogyny.</p>



<p>“They have a lot of misogyny, and it’s a really big issue for them”.</p>



<p>She also comments on how the far left can be as toxic as the far right when it comes to fighting online and online abuse.</p>



<p>“On social media the worst abuse that I get is from the left, not from the right,” she continues. “They talk about appearance but the left also don’t like a liberal talking about things that they think they own.”</p>



<p>It is worth noting that Siobhan Benita ran an as an independent candidate in the 2012 Mayor of London election. She received close to 300,000 votes (1st and 2nd preference votes), finishing extremely close to the Liberal Democrat and Green Party candidates. This was a remarkable achievement for a previously unknown individual with no party machine.</p>



<p>She joined the Liberal Democrats in 2016, the morning of the EU Referendum result. She is passionately opposed to Brexit and is also dismayed at the increasing influence of the extreme factions of both the Conservative and Labour parties.</p>



<p>I wanted to talk a little about cannabis, as it is why Siobhan and I first met, so, health benefits aside, I asked whether she was pro-legalisation.</p>



<p>“For me absolutely it’s the safety issues that are what is driving me, and the work that I have done on the youth violence commission. There is clear evidence of the link between the likelihood of a young person getting pulled into serious violence and their exposure to the illegal drugs market.</p>



<p>“I am very much putting it forward from a public health approach and I think any candidate that is saying they are tackling knife crime, without saying they want to look at drugs reform, isn’t doing everything that they can to tackle knife crime.</p>



<p>“If you legalise cannabis, and I know there are a whole lot of issues around other drugs, but it is a business like any other business.”</p>



<p>Siobhan is also working with Brian Paddock, who was the officer who tried to decriminalise cannabis in Brixton.</p>



<p>Cognitive awareness of the wrongs of colonial past is a must-have quality for any conscious leader, and I knew that Siobhan’s multi ethnicity would bring an advantage to dealing with our current reality.</p>



<p>“When people talk about London’s diversity, I feel like I am living it all the time”, she says with pride. She’s grown up in different communities and has an Anglo-Indian background, her mum was born in India and she grew up surrounded by multi-cultural people. Her husband is also French-Algerian which she says “brings in a different dimension as well.”</p>



<p>When asked if she is pro Black Lives Matter and LGBTQ+ rights, she also vehemently agrees.</p>



<p>Going into more depth, she says: “Where am I distinct form other candidates, when it comes to Black Lives Matter, is that I do not think there is enough outrage around inequality, racism, stop and search in London despite all the evidence that this disproportionately affects black boys all the time.”</p>



<p>“Why are we not angry more about that and why aren’t we saying anything as public leaders.”</p>



<p>I previously spoke with Leroy Logan MBE, who was once a superintendent in the Metropolitan police and chair of the Black Police Association Charitable Trust. Logan was an advisor to Sadiq Khan at the last mayoral election four years ago. But now he&#8217;s backing Siobhan as he sees her as the person with the ideas and expertise to stop the escalating knife crime crisis.</p>

<p>“Khan&#8217;s heavy-handed approach has meant communities losing trust in the police &#8211; confidence in police is at an all-time low in certain neighbourhoods &#8211; and the public are left feeling they are over policed but under protected. He has also failed to make any significant improvements in improving police diversity especially at the most senior levels and failed to realise there is a correlation between police diversity and community trust.”</p>



<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve worked with Siobhan on the All Party Youth Violence Commission and have been impressed by her fresh approach and practical ideas. She also has the leadership skills and ability to collaborate that will help turn the tide of the capital&#8217;s knife crime crisis. She is the mayor that London needs.”</p>



<p>Siobhan is clear that Khan isn&#8217;t doing enough to tackle knife crime.</p>



<p>“There&#8217;s so much more that a Mayor of London can do &#8211; and yet this mayor isn&#8217;t. It&#8217;s heartbreaking every time another child loses their life. For the sake of the families of all those who&#8217;ve died, and for every family that now fears for their own children, we have to take radical action to halt this horrific epidemic. I believe my focus on prevention rather than just increasing police numbers can start to do that. And my door is open to anyone who has a potential solution they&#8217;d like to offer.&#8221;</p>



<p>We got onto talking about LGBTQ+ rights and how Siobhan had a tent and was in attendance at UK Black Pride last year, a nice <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BzoT6StgcVI/">synchronicity</a>.</p>



<p>She believes that now – like never before in her lifetime &#8211; it is time for people who support moderate, sensible and honest politics to come together in a coordinated manner.</p>



<p>I went on to ask Siobhan how she intends to appeal to people that want their investments protected.</p>



<p>“We all have to look to a different future, and actually for me, I am pro-business, and I actually think there are massive opportunities for businesses to play a really important part in that greener, kinder, more conscious future.”</p>



<p>“It’s time to “embrace the future and there are massive opportunities in the new way that people want to do business, and big money is already shifting in that direction”.</p>



<p>Voting is on May 7th 2020 and it is really important that we reiterate that this is not a two horse race. Siobhan Benita calls for more education about the voting system and this is part of her campaign.</p>



<p>It is not like a general election, it is not a first past the post system, we have two votes each, and so it is the one election where you can genuinely vote with your heart, with your first preference.</p>



<p>“I am building bridges that the party hasn’t but before, but we desperately need that progressive force in politics” she admits and from her social media and campaign thus far, this is evident and really sets her apart from the pack as a former independent runner, now with party- backing.</p>



<p>As a Liberal Democrat she has just a tenth of the budget of Tory, Labour and the independent candidate. She’s fighting a traditional machine as a semi-insurgent and Siobhan Benita is proving that it is time for a candidate that is truly representative of our city.</p>



<p>“We desperately need a progressive force in politics and i don’t see the other parties fulfilling it at the moment” she concludes.</p>

<p>As part of my work destigmatizing the cannabis plant over on <a href="http://www.cbdecoded.com">CBDecoded</a>, I&#8217;m really glad to be able to share a feature with a personal favourite CBD brand, <a href="http://www.wunderworkshop.com">Wunder </a><a href="http://www.wunderworkshop.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Workshop (opens in a new tab)">Workshop</a>. </p>



<p>Back in 2014, Zoe Lind van’t Hof &amp; Tom Smale set up <strong>Wunder Workshop</strong> – a London based functional food brand inspired by <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.webmd.com/balance/guide/ayurvedic-treatments" target="_blank">Ayurveda</a> and primarily focussing on turmeric based products. As the CBD market evolved, so did Wunder Workshop and in turn, we have had the chance to review their latest CBD offering which is probably the most holistically advanced product on the market, the “<a href="https://wunderworkshop.com/collections/wunder-collection/products/adaptogen-cbd-500mg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)">Adaptogen CBD Oil</a>“.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="2048" height="1931" src="https://i0.wp.com/karlismyunkle.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Adaptogen_500mg_CBD_1024x1024@2x.jpg?fit=1020%2C962" alt="" class="wp-image-21128" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/karlismyunkle.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Adaptogen_500mg_CBD_1024x1024%402x.jpg?w=2048&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https://i0.wp.com/karlismyunkle.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Adaptogen_500mg_CBD_1024x1024%402x.jpg?resize=632%2C596&amp;ssl=1 632w, https://i0.wp.com/karlismyunkle.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Adaptogen_500mg_CBD_1024x1024%402x.jpg?resize=768%2C724&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/karlismyunkle.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Adaptogen_500mg_CBD_1024x1024%402x.jpg?resize=1020%2C962&amp;ssl=1 1020w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></figure>



<p>With the Adaptogen CBD Oil, the duo combined&nbsp;five of nature’s most potent ingredients to create a powerful daily wellness ritual. The ingredients include&nbsp;<strong>Mucuna pruriens</strong>, also known as “velvet bean” – an aphrodisiac and tension reliever, used in Ayurveda. It also contains&nbsp;<strong>L-Dopa</strong>, a chemical precursor to dopamine our neurotransmitter responsible for emotional wellbeing. They also included their organic&nbsp;<strong>Superior Ashwagandha</strong>, another highly regarded Ayurvedic plant that acts as a potent adaptogen to help balance our response to physical and emotional stress. The blend also contains Wunder Workshop’s<strong>&nbsp;CBD</strong>&nbsp;and full-spectrum, organic&nbsp;<strong>Turmeric&nbsp;</strong>extract. Plus,&nbsp;<strong>BioPerine</strong>&nbsp;black pepper extract to improve bioavailability.</p>



<p>From our personal experience at&nbsp;<strong>CBDecoded</strong>, we were very impressed with the overall effect of the product from a CBD perspective and the combined feeling from the Ashwagandadha and Cannabidiol was evident after keeping the blend under your tongue for a few minutes. It is great that every batch is independently tested to&nbsp;ensure high potency and consistency. The taste is representative of the specific plants included within the blend, so depending on your preferred feeling when consuming an oil, that is a consideration!</p>



<p>The product does not contain THC and we can confirm that CBDecoded has verified the the laboratory tests and have the certificates.</p>



<p>The product itself is protected in Miron Violet glass and each bottle packed in a handcrafted and hand-dyed turmeric pouch made by Sri Lankan mamas at <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.ammasrilanka.com/" target="_blank">AMMA</a>.</p>



<p>We also had the chance to ask co-founder Zoe Lind van’t Hof some questions to go into a little bit more depth on the brand’s ethical and sustainable values to promote a transparent relationship between grower and consumer. </p>

<p><strong>“Consumption With Purpose®” is a key part of the WunderWorkshop identity. Can you tell us a little more about why you are a purpose-led company and how it fits into the amplification of the wellness benefits of the cannabis plant?</strong></p>



<p>I am a strong believer that everyone should have the right to find and live their purpose. I am very fortunate to have found my purpose and to be living it daily, it is constantly evolving, and it constitutes this incredible life force which gets me through the ups and downs of life.</p>



<p>In both my personal and business life I try and live everything the most purposeful way possible. For me, Purpose, among other things, embodies clarity and consciousness. Whether it is about the source of my clothing or the ingredients we use at Wunder Workshop, I believe in the energetics and their vibrations. Therefore, it is essential we support the environment and the farmers/makers, that radiate their purpose in everything we consume. This shouldn’t really be an exception but the norm. This vibration is at the core of everything, and the cannabis plant is just another beautiful example of an element that has incredible purpose, through its myriad of potent compounds.</p>



<p><strong>Can you tell us a little more about the sourcing process of turmeric, and the health benefits of incorporating turmeric into Wunder Workshop products?</strong></p>



<p>We pride ourselves on our integrity when it comes to sourcing. We vet our suppliers very thoroughly, even if the certificates look good, we always want to build a personal relationship with them, and wherever possible we visit the farmers. This is the case with all of our ingredients that we source from Sri Lanka, we have been visiting them for the last 6 years to continue our connection with the source and be confident in sharing the most high vibe ingredients.</p>



<p><strong>You discuss the ancient and traditional wisdom of medicinal plants. What knowledge do you feel that we are regaining as a species that we lost over time and how is this helping us as a collective?</strong></p>



<p>Connection. We have lost all sense of connection, from the source of our food to clothing, anything we consume. This disconnect causes all kinds of issues across the world, look at the political situation and our health system. The primary connection that we are most disconnected from is nature and our fellow human beings. I believe that by connecting to nature we learn to understand our impacts that we have as humans, and we also learn to appreciate it more. This connection is fundamental to ancient wisdoms, who see our bodies as a holistic form. There is no separation between mental health, physical health and nature. Through mindful practices we are turning our focus inwards and thus finding more empathy with our outer world.</p>



<p><strong>Recognising the divine feminine within the wider cultural and spiritual value of the plant is something we have in common; can you tell us more about your connection with the plant and the brand’s investment into women empowering projects?<br></strong><br>Mother nature’s divine feminine energy is apparent all through the plant world and thankfully in this current era the female sensual energy is becoming a more creative life force. During our previous Piscean age, women were ripped from their roots and sexually dominated, and the masculine and the feminine energies were imbalanced. Our Aquarian Age is a return to honouring the Divine Feminine. It is essential in our business to empower women. The farms we work with celebrate the role of women and we invest in women empowering projects in Sri Lanka that create further abundance for females within society.</p>



<p><strong>Specifically with regards to the new Adaptogen CBD Oil, what makes it special and innovative and how can consumers benefit from this product?</strong></p>



<p>We strongly believe in synergy of plants, and the importance of elevating each ingredient with another plant that work as an amplifier. All the ingredients on their own are wonderful and have beautiful benefits, but by creating an alchemy between them we hope to elevate it’s potential.</p>



<p>We are excited to be working with Mucuna pruriens, one of the newer plants in the Wunder Workshop offering. It works directly on your dopamine levels and I think it has huge potential for our busy modern lifestyles. Working with powerful plants can have a positive effect on our ability to thrive in challenging situations. That being said, we strongly believe in a balanced lifestyle and no single ingredient or plant will solve all ailments without looking after our mental wellbeing too, connecting with nature and finding peace and quiet among the hustle and bustle.</p>



<p>You can shop <strong>Wunder Workshop</strong> directly at <a href="http://www.wunderworkshop.com/">www.wunderworkshop.com</a> and message <strong>CBDecoded</strong> on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/cbdecoded">Facebook</a> and <a href="http://www.instagram.com/cbdecoded">Instagram</a> with any questions you might have!</p>

<p>The anticipation for Grimes&#8217; return to music couldn&#8217;t be any higher. This FADER interview and cover are a good sign of things to come &#8211; including what sounds like a rather unique and wholly authentic sonic product. Read the interview in full <a href="http://www.thefader.com/2015/07/28/grimes-cover-story-interview">here</a> and enjoy the editorial styled by Grimes herself with photos by Ben Grieme. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just today it was announced that Editor in Chief at Harper&#8217;s Bazaar UK, Lucy Yeomans was appointed the same role at e-commerce giant NET-A-PORTER. In the same vein, when the menswear equivalent MR PORTER launched in early 2011, former Esquire editor Jeremy Langmead was appointed the role of Editor in Chief. The importance of quality editorial on an e-commerce site almost goes without saying, NET-A-PORTER it isn&#8217;t he only online retailer focussing so strongly on creative editorial.</p>
<p>In January of this year, singer, songwriter, model, and producer <a href="http://twitter.com/vvbrown">VV Brown</a> (in collaboration with her business partner Lola Peach) launched <a href="http://vvvintage.com">vvvintage.com</a> &#8211; an e-commerce site focusing on the ethics of up cycling and sustainability within fashion alongside handpicked internationally sourced vintage pieces. Known for her unique and quirky sense of style, VV personally approves each item available on the site and has also launched a blog, street style section and has created VVVTV &#8211; where she interviews and features fellow creatives and talent across the music and fashion industries, hero-ing the creative content on an editorial level and acting as content director, creative directive and editor-in-chief combined. </p>
<p>Here is the latest instalment as a KARLISMYUNKLE.COM exclusive featuring an interview with breakthrough singer songwriter <a href="http://www.liannelahavas.com/">Lianne La Havas</a>, shot by Tom Clarkson. Lianne&#8217;s debut album, Is Your Love Big Enough will be released on July 9, 2012 in the UK on Warner Brothers.</p>

<p>A great interview with British designer and fashion film visionary, Gareth Pugh just went live on <a href="http://vicestyle.com/en/features/articles/item/gareth-pugh/3">Vice Style</a>, where Pugh discusses his apparent &#8220;weirdness&#8221;, the launch of his Hong Kong store, his affinity for triangles and how his mother doesn&#8217;t have any of his pieces. Definitely worth a read. Highlights include:</p>
<p><strong>Vice:</strong> Everyone says you’re super-weird.<br />
<strong>Gareth Pugh:</strong> Really?</p>
<p><strong>Vice: </strong>Yeah. The artist Matthew Stone said that what people don’t understand is that you don’t think your lifestyle and work are weird because you’re so genuinely weird.<br />
<strong>Gareth Pugh: </strong>I don’t think about it. If I did I’d spend too much time not doing work. PJ Harvey recently said the same thing on TV—it wasn’t until two years after she wrote her songs that she understood them. What I do is more than just the clothes. It’s getting out whatever is inside that’s screaming the loudest. I wouldn’t call it therapeutic. It’s not that conscious. </p>
