Top 8 UK Youtubers
With the UK Youtube scene growing and improving day by day, I thought I'd list my top 8 Youtubers.
8- The True Geordie
The undisputed king of the north, this Newcastle United fan rose to popularity after a brutally honest video he made on Nile Ranger following some comments the ex-Newcastle striker made on the fans. Gaining thousands of views overnight, he decided to set up a channel and has been making various videos ever since. Brian is probably more known for his extremely entertaining podcasts on which he has had guests such as Eddie Hall, KSI, and even Robbie Williams! If there is any Youtuber that deserves to have a million subs, it's this guy.
7- Joe Weller
The well-known fruit loop of Youtube, Joe Weller started on Youtube by making short films and uploading them to his old Youtube channel Nueva Films. Shortly afterwards he began commentating over FIFA gameplay and writing and filming his own comedic sketches. It was one of these comedic videos titled "How to be KSI" that gave Weller his popularity. Nowadays Weller is well known for his "Abandoned Haunted Exploration" videos.
6- Stephen Tries
Ginger comedian Stephen Tries rose to popularity through various sketches and his original how-to series. His biggest 'how to' video to date is his 'How to be Stormzy' where he heads to a park with two of his friends in his finest Adidas tracksuit, and emulates Stormzy's "Shut Up" music video. Now a part of XO alongside WillNE, True Geordie, and Laurence McKenna, the 23-year-old has gained 529k subscribers and his channel is constantly growing.
5- WillNE
The controversial child bully himself, Will became extremely popular after making videos on BGMedia and the videos the channel uploaded. He also has a series titled TWOTI (This Week on the Internet) and despite his inability to upload it weekly, it is without doubt one of the most entertaining reaction series on Youtube. He has appeared on The True Geordie's podcast three times. He also played in the sidemen charity match where he played for Youtube Allstars. His highlight of the match was a crunching tackle on American Youtuber Ricegum.
4- The F2 Freestylers
There is no argument, these guys are the kings of Youtube football. Their videos on tekkers, showcasing their football ability leaves fans wondering what these guys are doing on Youtube and not playing in a professional league. Jeremy Lynch (pictured left) played for Arsenal FC's academy until the age of 15 when he was released. He then went on to showcase his tricks on Britain's Got Talent, where he was eliminated in the semifinals. Billy Wingrove (pictured right) became the first freestyler to be signed up as a professional "Football Freestyler" by the Premier League team Tottenham Hotspur.
3- Comedyshortsgamer
KSI's little brother, Deji, started his current Youtube channel on the 1st of December 2011. Starting off making FIFA content just like his brother, he soon moved on and showcased his comedic side in various skits. Deji is known for being very carefree and relaxed, however his fans have seen a different side to him over the last few months ever since the fight between him and Jake Paul was announced. He showcases short snippets of his training on his Instagram. However, he hasn't shown us anything of real relevance, probably part of his game plan to unnerve the youngest of the Paul brothers.
2- TheSyndicateProject
Tom Cassell is not only an extremely impressive gamer, but he is known for his entertaining vlogs where he gets up to all sorts of activities. From get-togethers and parties at his house (which his dad built) to adventures in America, he puts smiles on his fans faces on a daily basis. He rose to fame through his Call of Duty Zombie videos, and became a popular figure in that community. Syndicate also has his own clothing line, which is one of the most popular on the Youtube scene.
1- KSI
We spoke about the king of the north at the beginning of this post. Well KSI is the king of Youtube. He started out posting Call of Duty gameplay but started becoming very popular once he started his FIFA "Race to Division 1" series. As well as being a very successful Youtuber, JJ has released songs, a book, his own movie, and has recently started boxing. He beat Joe Weller in February by TKO with the ref stopping the fight in the third round. He is set to fight Logan Paul this year, publicly calling the ex-amateur wrestler moments after beating Weller. There is no arguing, this man can do it all, and that's why he is the best UK Youtuber in my opinion.

Mesut Ozil Waves Goodbye to Germany
It was a disappointing World Cup for the German national team and German fans everywhere. Not a single German player performed to a high enough level and it saw them take an early exit from the tournament. Much like Arsenal fans do, the German fans singled Mesut Ozil out and blamed him for the failures of the team. Now, I am a strong believer of the fact that you win as a team and you lose as a team, so the fact he is being singled out is ridiculous in my opinion. But being singled out isn't a reason to never don the jersey again, is it? Well, for Ozil it seems to be more than enough reason and I can't say I blame him.

The Pearl by John Steinbeck
‘The Pearl’ is a well-known by under-read classic and, as a teacher, many of my students have absolutely loved it. Not just because it is short, but because it presents a storyline that is interesting and corrupting. Easy to read and easier to analyse, ‘The Pearl’ is one of Steinbeck’s hardest hitting classics with an underlying message about protecting what is actually important. By the end of the book, the reader is left defeated and believing in the wrong thing. The idealism around this book is incredible and it is so dark too. For a long while you are supporting the wrong people, thinking in the wrong way and the whole story becomes one long act of misdirection by Steinbeck to show in a ‘Monkey’s Paw’ fashion why we should never chase wealth and status.

Ryan Gosling: From London, Ontario to Hollywood Stardom
Ryan Gosling's ascent from the quiet streets of London, Ontario to the dazzling lights of Hollywood is not just a tale of celebrity success but a narrative woven with passion, perseverance, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. Born on November 12, 1980, Gosling's journey began in a modest Canadian town, but his talent and determination would soon catapult him onto the world stage, where he would leave an indelible mark on the entertainment industry.

Was I a Model in Japan?
During my time in Nagoya I worked and lived at the strangely famous hostel and café Nagonoya. With its chequered floors and florescent lighting it felt quite dated, but I think that was supposed to be part of the charm. The dorms were always fully booked on weekends with domestic tourists and there was always a buzz in the downstairs café. Camera crews were constantly in and out of the place interviewing the Japanese staff members who worked the café. I think it had something to do with the egg sandwiches. At least that was what was on most of the merchandise, except for that one dishcloth with the owner’s face on it. Was I being employed by a local celebrity?
