A 2000 year old surveillance system being replaced by modern technology Voting with what we now have will never solve the problems we now face  In this series...

Sport News 24/7 By David de Winter - Sports Editor @davidjdewinter @TLE_Sport Over two-thirds of Arsenal fans have run out of patience with manager Arsene Wenger, Ladbrokes has claimed.  After Sunday’s calamitous defeat to Swansea City it seems that the tide is turning against the Premier League’s longest serving manager. A poll of 400 fans run by Ladbokes News reveals that only 32% of those asked wanted to persevere with Wenger, with the remainder keen to see a new man...

By Jack Peat, Editor of The London Economic  Life for the residents of London is all about finding new things before they become too popular. I used to dine in dynamic stone-baked pizza eateries in Soho before the queues began to stretch down the road, I even ate lobster and burgers and sipped champagne with hotdogs before the notion of finding a table in such eateries became laughable. But we persevere, because the next big thing is never far away....

By Naomi Nightingale  The Shangri La Hotel at The Shard and The Goring are two very different hotels, that represent two sides of London, but which is the London I love? It is my belief that there are two sides to London. While both are set in this exceptional, urban jungle, featuring the same landmarks and people, their differences are as prominent as the twinkling beacons that tell us we are home.

By Valentina Magri Inequality has been one of the most heated topics of economic debate in 2014 after the great success of Thomas Piketty’s “Capital in the Twenty-First Century”. The book was awarded the 2014 Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of the Year prize on 11 November 2014. Mr Piketty, who is in China promoting his book, said in the accepting video that “issues about economic wealth and capital and public debt are too important to be left to a...

By Charlotte Stringer, Style Editor at STYLIGHT.co.uk With mass-hysteria last week as Alexander Wang x H&M hit stores worldwide, the collection was the latest in a long line of designer collaborations with the Swedish high street brand, 10 years’ worth, in fact. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of high end partnerships, H&M released a book, The First Ten Years, chronicling the collections from Karl Lagerfeld in 2004, to Jimmy Choo, Lanvin, last year’s hit, Isabel Marant plus everyone else in...

By Jack Peat, Editor of The London Economic In London, the land of the real deal, poor imitations stick out like a sore thumb. Described as being a 'stylish nightclub with 1970s-themed disco, a club room and restaurant with an eclectic menu', The Sway is more akin to a Wetherspoons with a bit of icing sugar on top. The ballroom interior with private leather booths and chandeliers lulls you into a false perception of grandeur when you first arrive which...

By Henry Austin There’s a phrase in the Kurdistan region of Iraq: “Those days when we had no friends but the mountains.” It speaks to a time when as a people they had nowhere else to seek shelter from oppression, most recently from the brutal regime of Saddam Hussein. Today they have plenty of friends as they stand on the front line in the battle with the extremist Islamic State rebels in both Syria and Iraq. From a safe distance...
