By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor This was the last PMQs before the referendum, what will the world be like on June 24th regardless of the result? Will there be pitched battles on the Thames, with rivals crashing their warships into each other? Nope, they were doing that outside of Parliament today just as PMQs kicked off. Farage’s barge of swashbuckling Brexiteers were floating their flotilla down the Thames. In retaliation Bob Geldof’s Remain rafts hired a huge vessel and various...
By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor Yes this isn't a "satire" article, this is happening right now on then Thames, the Brexit campaign sent a flotilla down the Thames and in retaliation Bob Geldof hired a huge barge and a small fleet of little "remain" boats to slip in and out of the Brexit boats. The motley crews floated past Parliament as PMQs kicked off in the Commons. Bob Geldof pulled up alongside HMS Farage and shouts, "FARAGE, YOU'RE A FRAUD!...
After an action packed episode 2, Preacher returns to its famed slow boil this week using this latest outing to unpack the characters and reward the audience with some startling revelations. Spending the first two episodes tearing through Texas, we open with Tulip trading in the map she stole in the pilot – it turns out it was mere currency for the last known address of an ex-accomplice. Whilst we don’t see what the map contains, it’s great to finally see...
By Alex Lodge (@alexlodgemusic | Insta @alexlodgemusic7) Alex Lodge is a music supervisor for film, TV and advertising at Thirty Two. A longer than usual list today starting with a weird/sexy jam called Sunshine, through a lovely cover of one of my all time favourite songs, This Is How We Walk On The Moon by Jose González, some Fat White Family to make me feel better about not going to Field Day this year and a couple of nice remixes....
Sammy Screamer is a movement sensor that can be attached to pretty much anything to monitor if it moves alerting the owner via an alarm and app notification. All good things come in small packages and this is no exception. The little screamer itself is so tactile and the colour just pops when you open the box. The set up is amazingly easy even for a technophobe like me. Download an app and you are pretty much good to go....
Making sure as much money as possible goes towards philanthropic projects is extremely important to the National Lottery so with each and every ticket sold a large sum goes to a variety of projects. Less than 1% of the total revenue from the sale of lottery tickets is kept as profit after tax and 4% goes for operating costs. Believe it or not it has amounted to the grand amount of £35 billion spread over 450,000 projects. You’ll be happy...

Another mass shooting, another story about how America's lax gun laws helped a killer. Orlando shooter Omar Mateen purchased his AR-15 assault rifle legally, despite the FBI's suspicions about him. Terror suspects can be placed on a no fly list but not a 'no gun' list. The AR-15 is the mass murderer's weapon of choice. It's a highly efficient killing machine. The debate about America's gun laws is long and storied but the differences between those who think common sense...
By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor In shocking news the Home Office have refused to release the number of women who have been raped or sexually assaulted inside Yarl’s Wood Immigration Removal Centre. According to The Independent the information won’t be shared with the public as it harms the “commercial interests” of the private organisations that run the controversial detention centre. It raises the question again of private contractors given highly sensitive roles looking after some of the most vulnerable people...
