Studies reveal the life forms appear to exist in some kind of hierarchical structure, with...

The Brexit exodus is threatening to derail the British economy as vital industries struggle to fill vacancies. Net migration fell to its lowest level in three years according to the latest statistics, driven by a sharp increase in the number of eastern Europeans leaving in the wake of Brexit. Figures from the Office for National Statistics have been welcomed by the Tories and will appease the many voters who voted for Brexit because of the levels of immigration. But they come...

Warning Graphic pics A cruel pensioner left more than 70 animals to starve and rot – causing “unimaginable” neglect and suffering to the animals, as they perished and died, in horrific circumstances. From an estimated 74 animals only three negus and a single rabbit managed to survive, after his sick treatment had been uncovered. He has now been banned for life from keeping animals, which is not a moment too soon. The man, John Gosnell, 72, kept the animals in filthy...

Last week I got my greasy mits on Nioh, the new 'dark samurai fantasy' from Team Ninja (the minds behind the  Ninja Gaiden series) and it’s safe to say the game has sunk into my conscious like so many poison shuriken. Twenty hours in, I'm traversing Japanese lands of legend, slaying Yokai (demons, scary demons) and yes, getting my face ground into paste over and over. 'Freed from this mortal coil' indeed. Nioh reviewed well, too, unexpectedly well for a title that could be...

By: Michael McNulty It’s Friday night, supper’s finished, the washing ups been done and you’ve settled into the front room. Time for the great debate: what to watch tonight?

It’s alright there doesn’t need to be a debate, it’s been a long week, relax and enjoy this week’s Forgotten Friday Night Film. Released in...

Early last year Jeremy Corbyn was roundly laughed at in the House of Commons for suggesting food poverty, inequality and climate change should also be included in the Government's national security review. The list of priorities had been reserved to armed military responses in the event of an attack and increasing spending on Britain's Trident nuclear detterent from £25 billion to £31 billion. The notion that a deepening crisis was happening right in front of our eyes was, in the eyes of...

Indulging in a season or two of your favourite TV series over a long weekend is a popular way to unwind while keeping yourself entertained for a few hours. Television gives us the opportunity to turn off our brain for an extended period, and show creators understand what keeps viewers coming back for more. In recent years, studies have shown the far-reaching impact television shows have on the lives of those who love them, including how they affect career paths....

Greatness Ogholi’s voice rings out, as deep and clear as a Brita filtered volcanic river. It is a voice at once melodious and dramatic, serious, yet light with rogueish charm. I’m already game to join his political party, and all he’s done is the opening monologue. This is New Nigerians, a revolutionary play by Oladipo Agboluaje at the start of its debut run at the Arcola Theatre. I could listen to Greatness, as played by Patrice Naiambana, all damn day....
