A thug has been found guilty of murdering a teenage girl by strangling her as part of his "snuff movie fantasy" before stashing her body in a clingfilm-covered wardrobe. Evil Ashley Foster, 24, had only been released from prison three days before he throttled 17-year-old Megan Bills to death during a sick sex game. The church-going teenager's body was found badly decomposed at a hostel for former lags in Brierley Hill, West Mids., on May 3 last year. Jobless Foster...

There are few bands that can claim they truly rivalled the dominance of the Beatles in the 1960s, but like the proverbial 'boxer', Simon and Garfunkel certainly stood toe to toe with them. Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel's relationship is a fascinating story that is straddled across a fascinating era in history. The duo met in elementary school in Queens, New York, in 1953, and went on to become one of the biggest folk rock acts ever. They won 10 Grammy Awards, had one...

Today Prime Minister's Questions was dominated by the collapse of Carillion, with the leader Jeremy Corbyn of The Labour Party attacking the 'too cosy relationship' between successive Tory governments and private companies: "This isn't one isolated case of Government negligence and Corporate failure. It's a broken system. "Under this Tory government Virgin & Stagecoach can spectacularly mismanage the East Coast Mainline and be let off a £2 billion payment. Capita & ATOS can continue to wreck the lives of millions of...

Eating alone at five thirty in the evening, down a side street in Clerkenwell, used to be pretty low on my tick list. But this was different. It was an evening I’d been waiting 18 months for. I’d finally bagged a (single) seat at London’s most exclusive restaurant. Of course ‘exclusive’ can mean many different things. Sure there are ‘sleb heavy haunts where if you ain’t been on Big Brother you’re not getting in. There are Michelin starred restaurants for...

A man who was dumped by his ex as he planned their wedding hit back by shedding an incredible 115lbs in eight months by turning VEGAN - and has now found love again. Collin Fissell, 25, was heartbroken when his ex-girlfriend said she didn't want to marry him and the couple split up a day before their sixth anniversary in May 2017. The XXXL store manager thought he had already hit rock bottom until he stood on the scales and...

Mike Ashley's talks with Amanda Staveley drew to an inevitable collapse yesterday - just as we predicted back in November to much disdain from local media. The Magpies' owner reportedly said that "attempts to reach a deal have proved to be exhausting, frustrating and a complete waste of time." The statement comes following weeks of silence from Ashley, with a "non-disclosure agreement" preventing Staveley from commenting on the matter. Meanwhile Rafa Benitez will have to come to terms with the reality that funds...

Old fashioned manners such as ladies always going first, saying 'please' and 'thank you' and keeping elbows off the table are all in danger of dying out, research has revealed. A new study has found never using swear words is also a rule many of us struggle to stick to, along with holding doors open for the person behind you and not using your phone at the dinner table. Manners which we still do our best to abide by are...

As Steven Spielberg’s latest feature film, The Post, makes its way onto our screens this week, the parallels that can be drawn between the story it tells and the current political landscape won’t be lost on anyone. Centring around the events which led to a war between the Nixon administration and a huge chunk of the American press, the film seems to deliberately play on our collective hankering for the golden age of investigative journalism, and rightly highlights the need...
