#helpthelaywers: how the internet is crowdsourcing the resources to defeat the Trump travel ban On Monday the 6th of March, US President Donald Trump issued a revised and somewhat downsized Executive Order dubbed Muslim Ban 2.0. The states of Hawaii, New York and Washington filed prompt lawsuits against the new restraining order, and two Federal Judges blocked the ban before it came into effect on the 16th of March, which is now headed to an appeals court. But with little...

Given that up to 60 per cent of the rubbish that ends up in the dustbin could be recycled, it is concerning to find that millions of Brits admit they never recycle the most basic of waste materials - the plastic bottle. According to new research some 2.9 million adults never bother to recycle their plastic bottles and simply throw them in the rubbish instead, citing reasons such as it "being too difficult" and "time consuming". And each day, a staggering 16 million...

It was a freakish coincidence. At almost exactly the same time as Khalid Masood began his murderous attack on the Palace of Westminster, I was whizzing by the building on the south side of the river. My taxi must have missed him by minutes. As soon as I heard the news – a BBC News text update – my first thought was of my former colleagues in the Houses of Parliament. I had long expected the attack to come. After...

It took numerous questions from Sky News presenter Sophy Ridge, but eventually Nigel Farage admitted that the terror attack at Westminster last week, was not due to immigration. After the attack, last week, he told a right-wing news presenter “An American audience seeing this horrendous thing happening in Westminster should start to say to itself that when Donald Trump tries to put in place vetting measures, he is doing it to protect your country. “Frankly, if you open your door to...

This shocking video captures the dangers of driving on Britain's motorways. Even with an increase in safety measures in cars, crashes are still part of daily life. In this video, despite being shunted from behind by a van - and then aiding the other stricken driver in his overturned car - Christopher Dye was charged after allegedly remonstrating with the man who caused the accident. The three-vehicle accident occurred on May 12 last year, on the M62 near junction 22....

There are many things one should say about The Eyes of My Mother, director Nicolas Pesce’s dark & disturbing debut feature, but it’s perhaps best to begin by declaring that this is not a film for the faint of heart. Indeed, even those with an unyielding tolerance for visual horror may find themselves squirming in their seats at times whilst watching this maliciously macabre, yet utterly mesmeric monochrome nightmare. If Hitchcock’s Psycho was to reimagined in a contemporary age, it...

The author Agatha Christie once described a mother’s love as being like “nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity, it dates all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path.” Few other quotes so sincerely encapsulate the everlasting power that stems from the maternal connection shared between a mother and her child, but in cinema, such profound renderings are more prevalent. From children’s classics such as Disney’s Bambi, through to the more mature...

PDSA vets have saved a cat shot with an airgun pellet, causing extensive injuries. Four-year-old tabby Obee needed his leg amputating following the deliberate assault.  Obee’s owners, Brian and Faith Gittins, from North Tyneside, became concerned when their beloved pet didn’t return after an evening walk as normal one Saturday evening. Brian said: “He usually comes when we call him from the door, but there was no sign of him. He was missing for hours and we were getting really...
