14 Jul : 14:00
Since the demise of William Shakespeare and who all have followed in the public eye there was an air of inevitability that people would profit from the untimely death of Michael Jackson.
Stars like Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison and Marc Bolan have all, through their premature deaths, become even greater cultural icons.
The work of many artists, often penniless in life, have g...
I will start my review by saying that this Swedish film, due out soon on DVD, is possibly one of the most captivating I have seen at the cinema in many years.
Directed by Thomas Alfredson, the plot concerns a young boy who is bullied at school and the impact of a new arrival on the housing estate he lives in.

The tragic...

The Government spokespeople were suitably restrained when reacting to the stories and maintained a sense of reassuring calm ...
In a country where discrimination is quite rightly frowned upon and laws are made to stop the perpetrators, one of the last bastions of legal discrimination has been allowed to stand for the time being after a recent ruling by the European Court of Justice said UK laws were not in breach of the EU's Equal Treatment at Work directive.
However with a review on the UK law set parliament due for 2011 a...
How can Nick Griffin & Geert Wilders represent us? [ Show blog ]
08 Jun : 16:23
If the aftermath of the EU elections has taught us something, it will be that the far right cannot be ignored.
The BNP won 2 seats and the Dutch far right 'Party for Freedom' won 4 seats during the elections.
But behind their slickly orchestrated campaigns of rhetoric is the real truth behind these parties. The far right agenda has been, and will always be one of hatred and segregation.
Leeds United borrowed heavily against future performance, basing their income projections on that performance and then promptly fell from grace within two years of reaching the Champions League semi-finals in a mire of debt and mounting arguments about who was to blame and who should go in the aftermath.
