'Remain voters are getting really boring now. It’s called democracy. They lost. Why don’t they just get over it?' This weekend saw tens of thousands of people march through the streets of London to protest over the EU referendum result. Banners such as ‘UN F*&k my Future’ ‘We are the 48%’ and ‘Winning by lying = cheating’ were on show as the swelling crowds overflowed out of Parliament Square. Some estimates suggested over 50,000 people attended the march. The march...
Actor Christoph Waltz has compared Nigel Farage to the "head rat" following the resignation of the UKIP leader. Farage quit as leader of the UK Independence Party saying he feels he has "done his bit" and that now he has his "country back", he wants his life back. The resignation was raised with Waltz in a recent interview for his upcoming movie Tarzan. The Austrian-German actor is known to have strong opinions on Brexit, and he responded with: "Of course the head...
By Jonathan Hatchman, Food Editor, @TLE_Food Although the food of China has been popular in the UK for many years, it is only more recently that the tired stereotype of Anglicised Chinese cuisine has began to positively evolve. For a very long time, alas, there has been an ignorant British belief that the globe’s most populous nation has little more to offer than chow mein, special fried rice, and sweet and sour pork that’s to be drowned in incandescent orange...

The Labour Party is tearing itself apart. Jeremy Corbyn's lukewarm support of the Remain campaign is just the excuse many Labour MP s have been waiting for. Corbyn's overwhelming surprise victory in Labour's leadership election upset moderate and right-leaning Labour members. Though Corbyn did his best to satisfy his parliamentary party detractors by appointing them to his shadow cabinet, he was never going to win them over. His years on Labour's fringes meant mainstream politicians would never make it into...
“Everybody loves to laugh don’t we? We all love to laugh,” Mrs Merton said to a young Steve Coogan on the iconic talk show sofa. Like Jim Royle, Barbs and the plethora of other television characters she dreamt up, Caroline Aherne was always well placed to preach. But her sad passing has left a huge gap when we’re all most in need of a giggle. Laughing has always been a big part of working class communities, but it’s not a...
Shakespeare and Quentin Tarantino will unite in a modern adaption of Macbeth. The timeless, blood-soaked tale of murder, lust and power is to get a modern movie makeover as filming takes place in Birmingham on a reworking of the tragic play that plays homage to some of director Quentin Tarantino’s best-loved films. ‘Macbeth – Kill Bill Shakespeare’ is an imaginative take on one of the world’s most famous plays, with the production staying true to the original text.
