By David de Winter – Sports Editor @davidjdewinter @TLE_Sport The announcement by FIFA’s self-appointed ‘independent’ ethics committee that it was closing its investigation into alleged corruption over the bidding process to host the 2018 and 2022 World Cups was not surprising. If I’d set up my own ‘independent ethics committee’ made-up of my cronies to overview corruption in my own company I’d probably come to the same conclusion. “The Investigatory Chamber of the FIFA did not find any violations or...
The number of emails being read on mobile devices has soared, new research has found, with the number of emails read on iPhones doubling in a year. Data from SendGrid has revealed the number of emails read on iPhones doubled in London, with people in Manchester reading five times more emails on theirs. The number of emails opened on Android devices also shot up, increasing by 40 per cent from 2013. That compares to almost stagnant figures recording on Windows...
By Charlotte Hope - Lifestyle Editor I always thought my parents did quite well for themselves (thank you very much) but it turns out they didn't, they are beneath me; strange as I still borrow cash off them. But it turns out I am in the minority, as according to new research modern Brits believe they are more successful than their parents ever were. A study of 2,000 current British workers looked at the relationship between their careers and the...
By Rosie Wilson By now, we’ve all seen the raunchy Kim Kardashian photoshoot for PAPER magazine, which landed this morning and caused massive controversy. Say what you will about Kimmy K, but you can’t deny she’s looking good. Here’s how to get her sleek, sexy look - from head to toe… Kim Kardashian is one of the most famous women in the world, and definitely the owner of the most famous bum. We’re used to seeing 34-year-old Kim in figure...
By Nick Figgis A seriously inconvenient truth, but it might be time we face it. Kuhn and Anderson's thrilling documentary is a rare gem in environmental film – it poses questions and actually answers them. I watched most of Cowspiracy muttering expletives under my breath. For a meat and dairy eater, whose girlfriend has been known to ask if I “want some toast with my butter,” it's an eye opener but not in the way you might expect. Fear not,...
By J T Coombes www.globalmagnacarta.com @GMagnaCarta In this new millennium 21st century Society is saddled with systems way past their sell by date. . . . A 15th century democratic system, complete with glass ceiling . . . An 11th century monetary system that increasingly holds the world to ransom . . . A 2000 year old surveillance system being replaced by modern technology Voting with what we now have will never solve the problems we now face In this series...
Sport News 24/7 By David de Winter - Sports Editor @davidjdewinter @TLE_Sport Over two-thirds of Arsenal fans have run out of patience with manager Arsene Wenger, Ladbrokes has claimed. After Sunday’s calamitous defeat to Swansea City it seems that the tide is turning against the Premier League’s longest serving manager. A poll of 400 fans run by Ladbokes News reveals that only 32% of those asked wanted to persevere with Wenger, with the remainder keen to see a new man...
By Jack Peat, Editor of The London Economic Life for the residents of London is all about finding new things before they become too popular. I used to dine in dynamic stone-baked pizza eateries in Soho before the queues began to stretch down the road, I even ate lobster and burgers and sipped champagne with hotdogs before the notion of finding a table in such eateries became laughable. But we persevere, because the next big thing is never far away....
By Naomi Nightingale The Shangri La Hotel at The Shard and The Goring are two very different hotels, that represent two sides of London, but which is the London I love? It is my belief that there are two sides to London. While both are set in this exceptional, urban jungle, featuring the same landmarks and people, their differences are as prominent as the twinkling beacons that tell us we are home. The sides to which I refer are the...
