When we think of theft we usually think of physical robberies, getaway cars and police-chases, not office-based staff fiddling with spreadsheets. Yet many shareholders in recent years have seen their wealth robbed by executives who have been involved in fraudulent corporate financial and non-financial reporting. Not only have we discovered that BT has misstated its profits by over £500m over a number of years, but a new lawsuit has been launched by a US investment management firm against Tesco for...
Comedian Jamali Maddix's new show, ‘Chickens Come Home To Roost’, takes a dark, frank and honest look at life through the eyes of a self-confessed miscreant, whose upbringing, friends and family have given him a distinctly considered and shrewd outlook on issues of race, economics and the law. His natural confidence and charm allow him to tread gracefully across more sensitive topics leaving many of his contemporaries behind. We caught up with him for a chat. What can people expect from...

Theresa May has come under increasing pressure today after not only failing to condemn the use of torture and the controversial travel ban, but somehow agreeing to foot the bill for Trump’s proposed Mexican border wall. Tory MPs were warning May not to make too many concessions as she raced to become the first international leader to meet the new President. It was believed the meeting had been a success after Trump had adopted a more reasonable stance in the...

The leader of the Blurred Right is still angry about a recently leaked document which he believes came from his own intelligence agencies. Despite heavy criticism Trump stood by his comments, later reiterating his comparison to Nazi Germany: “This is something that Nazi Germany would have done and did do” Trump said from his Zepplin, Air Force Ein.
