Donald Trump today tweeted that he has cancelled a trip to the UK because he is unhappy with the “sale” of the US embassy in Mayfair. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/951679619341737986 The President was expected to cut the ribbon at the new state-of-the-art development in Nine Elms, but blamed the Obama Administration for overseeing the sale of the embassy for peanuts only to build a new one in an “off location”. However, commentators have since pointed out that the excuse Donald Trump gave is rather...

Controlling is one of the most important stages of the managerial process. It enables continuous learning and up-skilling. It is rare that any process happens without defaults. In order to identify them, you need to track or to control. Then you need to eliminate the discrepancies in business scheme. Tracking...

I doubt I'm the only one in Britain currently feeling uneasy: the world seems to have gone a little bit topsy-turvy, hasn't it? For months and months, even the vaguest suggestion of a second referendum, or a 'final say' on the terms of Britain's exit from the European Union, well... it was likely to be shouted down by an army of angry Brexiters decrying it an 'affront to democracy'. It was a definitive, cardinal rule. The lemmings would not have...

Former Mayor of London Boris Johnson has engaged in a battle of words with his predecessor over the visit of Donald Trump to the UK - calling the Labour politician a "puffed up pompous popinjay". Sadiq Khan said President Trump's decision to cancel his planned trip to the UK shows he "got the message" from Londoners who "find his policies and actions the polar opposite of our city's values". Speaking shortly after Trump's announcement that he wouldn't be opening the new...

Perhaps lacking the same bite as Jordan Peele’s Get Out, Wes Craven’s 1991 film, The People Under the Stairs, is still a sharp commentary on American socio-economic disparity.  Disguised behind a veil of horror and comedy, Craven crafts a deeply satirical view of post-Reagan America that finds renewed potency in the age of Donald Trump. Fool (Brandon Quintin Adams), a young African-American boy, lives in a run-down flat with his mother and sister in a rough neighbourhood.  Junkies crowd the...

Earlier this week, Marks & Spencer were the subject of social media outrage following the launch of a “Cauliflower Steak” as part of their new “veggie” range. A thick slice of cauliflower was presented as a “steak”, joined by a sachet of “lemon and herb drizzle” and sealed within an abundance of unnecessary plastic packaging. Priced at £2, the notion of an M&S “Cauliflower Steak” seemed eye-wateringly expensive, considering a whole cauliflower from the same shop costs just £1 -...
