By J T Coombes   www.globalmagnacarta.com    @GMagnaCarta As I once again watched the Remembrance Day Service at the Cenotaph, for the first time in six and a half decades a part of me felt a violent sense of anger that truly shocked me. As I sought answers to why this emotion had emerged with such force it became clear that, whilst the very act of remembering pays an essential tribute to the many, often young men and women who...

Remembrance Day is a tricky time of year for pacifists. How do you pay your respects to all those who fell in the World Wars without subscribing to the propagandist nature of remembrance, the glorification of war and the unavoidable political entwinement of it all?  Armistice Day is a celebration of peace, yet it has never been so entangled with messages of war. There is a common misconception that pacifists do not honour those who have died in the service...

 By Naomi Nightingale  Nothing is off limits, even for a solo, female traveller, but if you’re daring enough to take to the streets of Marrakech alone, be sure you’re in the travel know.    There is a land that has caressed my dreams ever since I heard of its flowing deserts and colourful culture. It has always been a waiting wonder, whose path I’d never gained the privilege of crossing. Marrakech, Morocco, Africa’s diverse daughter, had eluded and teased my...

Sport News 24/7 By Matthew Biggin  @MatthewBiggin @TLE_Sport Liverpool have seemed to be the much talked about ‘club in crisis’ in recent months, but there is certainly a feeling that the winters of discontent are beginning to blow around the corridors of The Etihad, as Manchester City seem to be struggling to recapture the form that won them their second Premier League crown. The season is just over a quarter through and City already lie in 3rd place, 8 points...

By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor In the heart of Soho on Windmill Street, located next to Paul Raymond’s famous Windmill Club and opposite the new Firmdale Hotel, a brand new radio station has evolved and is aiming to revolutionise the air waves in London and beyond. Soho Radio is a street level visible station, broadcasting via a large shop window which is a unique attraction in itself. I met up with Co-founder Dan Gray, 33, whose day job is in music management representing...

Sport News 24/7 By Ronan George This week promises to be a big one for Rooneys and football. England captain, Wayne, will win his 100th cap as the national team take on Slovenia in a European Championship qualifier at Wembley on Saturday. While at the House of Commons, a little known American Football team owner named Dan, and a rule he initiated, will be considered at length as the national game confronts its attitudes towards Black and Minority Ethnic (BAME)...

By Charlotte Hope, Lifestyle Editor @TLE_Lifestyle A rainy Wednesday evening normally warrants a big bowl of comforting chilli, something on the TV and probably an enormous chocolate based dessert. Last week, however, I braved the elements and ventured North, to Camden, playground of the early noughties indie darlings (see: The Libertines et al). In the hunt for my dinner venue I inadvertently took the scenic route, through the stables and past CyberDog (still open, by the way) until eventually I...

By Anna Power @powersfilms Andrei Zvyagintsev's Leviathan is a tale of rot and corruption in modern day Russia that is as brittle and barren as the skeletal Whale carcass beached on the shore of this remote northwestern Russian town. Unforgiving and relentless, the film’s darkness is offset by exquisite raucous vodka-drenched banter of the kind that provokes laughter and blushes in equal measure. A rough re-working of the Old Testament’s Book of Job, it tells the story of Kolya (Alexei...
