The Digital Switchover: How Digital Tech has enhanced our lives

We certainly live in a digital world. Although digital technology has been around for the last few decades (think digital watches from the 1970s), the turn of the millennium has seen a marked increase in the movement away from analogue and towards digital technology. In fact, when you look through the various aspects of our life that are now dominated by digital technology, you'll see why our opening statement is true. Indeed, from entertainment to dating on apps such as...

TV Review: Preacher Episode 4 – Monster Swamp

One of the strengths of the series since the pilot episode has been the characterisation of not only our regular band of misfits, but also the ancillary characters that prop up the world of Annville. ‘Monster Swamp’ sees Jesse fade into the background, in favour of fleshing out the side characters and the writing team does this admirably – continuing to weave the webs that connect the members of this community. The episode opens with imagery that wouldn’t be out...

By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor The official campaign for leaving the EU will be facing action from car maker Nissan. The Brexit campaign used the car makers logo on leaflets calling for a Vote to Leave the EU on June 23rd.

Another politician defects from Brexit to Remain citing “hate and xenophobia”

By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor In another blow to the Brexit campaign another senior politician has decided to change to the Remain camp over “hate and xenophobia” peddled by the Brexit leaders. Baroness Warsi, a former cabinet minister for the Conservative party will no vore remain on Thursday, after she said that Michael Gove, the Vote Leave chief, had been “peddling lies.” The “Leave’ campaign appeared to be taking a substantial leave but seems to be foundering in recent days....

Review: Jon Bellion – The Human Condition

If you don’t think you’ve heard of Jon Bellion yet, you will have heard his music. He wrote the chorus for Eminem and Rihanna’s 2013 hit ‘The Monster’ and co-wrote and produced Jason Derulo’s 2014 ‘Trumpets’. This will have given Bellion a hefty bank balance, enabling him to concentrate on his first studio album, The Human Condition. It launches us headfirst into who he really is – moving seamlessly through family, self-assurance, love, break-ups, uncertainty and faith. The first track...

Study reveals mainly stupid people will vote Brexit

Most intellectuals and averagely smart people have been thinking it for a while now, but finally a study has been released confirming ‘mainly stupid’ people will vote for UK to leave the EU. The study shows that those with low academic attainment, Daily Mail and Sun newspaper readers, Northerners, Monster Energy Drink consumers, and Britain First supporters are most likely to support Brexit. Conversely, highly intellectual Guardian readers, people living in the South, those with high academic attainment, rugby fans, and...

VIDEO – John Oliver rubbishes Brexit campaign

By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor British comedian John Oliver explained on his show Last Week Tonight, most of the arguments for leaving the European Union simply don’t hold up. John said: "Immigration policy may not change, hysteria over regulation is a red herring, the costs of membership are reasonable, and economic benefits of staying appear to outweigh the costs, yet polls suggest my homeland is on the edge of doing something insane," He continued: "It’s a complicated, bureaucratic, ambitious, overbearing, inspirational, and...

Restaurant Review – Homeslice, Old Street

  By Jonathan Hatchman, Food Editor, @TLE_Food While there are few vaster pleasures than great pizza, there are even fewer things worse than really, offensively terrible pizza: and with a plague of bad ‘pizzerias’ constantly opening across the city, the former is becoming increasingly difficult to unearth, persistently subjecting us to the latter on far too many occasions. Soggy, shop-bought dough bases wetter than a mid-June weekend, heavily-sweetened tomato sauce, and cheese that resembles the plastic used to manufacture paddling...
