By Oliver Ward The migrant crisis which has dominated the European press this week has brought to light some exceptional examples of human generosity and kindness. From the individuals who brought food and blankets to those in Budapest, to countless numbers who have volunteered their spare beds to those in need.

By Daniel Mackenzie (@EkcaLiena) Another year reaches the point where wind is not welcome relief from sun but a frown-inducing reminder of the coming cold, and another brand new festival arrives on the shores of Brighton. 2014 saw the one-day experimental sound and performance art extravaganza that was Fort Process; this year Brighton Alternative Jazz Festival seeks to address the heinous mainstream festival mislabelling that has irked followers of the genre's more faithful shades. BAJF will somewhat prestigiously occupy The Old...

A simple recipe for one of the iconic restaurant's most popular desserts.

By Nathan Lee, TLE Correspondent  A new study has found Brits throw away over £22,000 worth of items in their lifetime, with almost £3,500 worth of clothes and £2,000 worth of electrical goods binned. The poll of 2,000 adults found that an average 59 non-perishable items are flung out or given away every year despite being in good working order. Non-perishable items commonly flung from the house included CDs and DVDs, clothes that no longer appeal and toys that fall out of...
