In the video of the machete-wielding terrorist at Leytonstone Tube Station, you can hear a man shout ‘You ain’t no Muslim, bruv’ as the lunatic is tasered by the police. In just a few choice words, he got to the core of what politicians and the commentariat have been trying to stress ever since the Paris attacks. Fortunately the terrorist - who allegedly screamed ‘This is for Syria’ right before he attacked - wasn’t able to murder a single soul. He failed...

Have you ever seen a filthy wild man, naked as the day he was born, terrified penis a-flail, fleeing for his life from a gun-toting hick? I mean, yes, you probably have, but not this exact one. Check out Gang's new video for their latest 7" 'Animalia', out this Friday. Crunchy psych doom at its best.

Sport News 24/7 Ok, I’ll admit it; I didn’t give Tyson Fury much of a chance of beating Wladimir Klitschko.  Not many others did to be honest against a man who has 65 professional wins, holds three of the four main titles and who, alongside his older brother, has dominated heavyweight boxing for nigh-on 15 years.  Plus the bout was in Klitschko’s adopted backyard – Dusseldorf – where he beat David Haye in 2009.  Yes Fury was unbeaten, but this...

Hilton's newest London offering is in SE1, an area regenerating thanks to the culture draw of the South Bank. Drawing on influences from its history and surroundings, the hotel contains 292 rooms plus a swimming pool, gym, corporate facilities, a ballroom holding up to 700 guests, a rustic bar and an impressive restaurant. We spent an overnighter to see how it stands up to the Hilton brand, and also to eat a day’s worth of calories for breakfast. The area While...

Last weekend, Callum Towler went to watch Clapton FC play at home to FC Romania. Famous for their left-wing anti-fascist fanbase, he wanted to see if politics and football had collided again in spectacular fashion, to plug a wistful hole in his heart left empty when Joey Barton withdrew his services as a political firebrand and man of the people.  I thought Joey Barton reached the zenith.

A bike will allow me to do that. The driver's seat in...

Anti-Muslim rhetoric is reaching dangerous levels on both sides of the Atlantic. US Republican politicians have suggested databases for Muslims, closing mosques, interning Muslims and depriving them of constitutional rights. Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán claims leftists are playing into the hands of a Muslim plot to take over Europe and the anti-Islamic Pegida movement is growing, with a former EDL leader opening a branch in the UK. We’ve seen all this before. Europe’s Jews were subjected to the same...
