Britain is in danger of "sleepwalking" into a post-Brexit future with hugely increased food prices and unsafe and insecure food supplies, a report has claimed. This worrying study was compiled by academics from three top universities. They believe that the UK’s population expect low food prices and guaranteed supply for anything they need. Over the last twenty years Britain has benefited from a wealth of food and choice of food groups, even for the poorest in society. The report highlights...

The Church of England have slammed the "prohibitive" costs for foreigners and asylum seekers to get British citizenship. Foreign residents are currently forced to pay around £1,300 to receive citizenship, a fee which has a negative impact on integration, the General Synod said. The Church's governing body unanimously chose to investigate the current citizenship application process which begins with a £50 Life in the UK test.

As much as I truly enjoy reading a good mystery novel – within the broad term of genre fiction mysteries are by far my favourite – they do present a positively infernal problem in writing about them. Most of the major touchstones used by a thoughtful reviewer in assessing a book's worth have to be equivocated.

The father dies on impact but the son gets rushed to hospital. The doctor comes in but says, "I can't operate on this child, it's my son". Who is the doctor?  It's remarkable how long it takes people to figure it out (it's his mother, silly). But perhaps such warped views...

We’ve seen Sleeping Beauty from the perspective of the antagonist; had Mowgli’s adventures in the jungle painstakingly retold to us with photo-real clarity; and found ourselves faced with Tim Burton’s warped vision of Wonderland… Never mind finding out if an angelic heroine will be strong enough to break the evil spell placed on a conceited...
