Eidur Eyes Ipswich Revenge

Sport News 24/7 By Rob Latham  @robilaz  @TLE_Sport Ipswich Town do not conjure up great memories for Eidur Gudjohnsen.  Despite going on to become a Premier League winner with Chelsea and a Champion of Europe with Barcelona, the Icelandic striker is seemingly still haunted by previous disappointment at the hands of the Suffolk club. The forward’s last game for Bolton Wanderers was against Ipswich, when he scored but then got injured in the first leg of their First Division (now...

A pound shop Question Time

By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor of The London Economic  Before the News at Ten began, David Dimbleby flashed onto the screen to push the biggest question time since Nick Griffin was thrown to the wolves. He mentioned Farage and Brand but didn’t bother to mention the Labour or Tory representative this evening (or the Times journo for that matter). It appeared mainstream politics is even irrelevant on Question Time. I think the Sunday Times hack must have seen the advert preceding...

Bringing Tibet Home – Film Review

By Matt Mansfield  ‪@mattmansfield_ "We Tibetans are funny," says artist Tenzing Rigdol near the beginning of Tenzin Tsetan Choklay's documentary Bringing Tibet Home. "When people ask 'are you Chinese?' you feel unhappy, but when people ask 'are you Japanese?', you feel great". Cultural identity is the driving force behind the artist's work, and Choklay's film documents the creation of his biggest piece yet: Our Land, Our People, an installation intended to give the thousands of Tibetans living in exile in...

An Honest Christmas Burger

Jack Peat's honest review of Honest Burgers  If we're to accept the premise that blaming the noisy f*ckwits on the table next to me on Honest Burgers would be unfair, then I would have to conclude that this is a pretty spot on burger joint. Nestled behind Oxford Street amongst a group of likeminded eateries Honest Burgers is an evolution of an artisan festival burger stand that turned semi-pro in Brixton Village (all good things turn semi-pro in Brixton) before...

Electricity – Film Review

By Emma Silverthorn @HouseOf_Gazelle Director Bryn Higgins and writer Joe Fisher’s tale, (adapted from Ray Robinson’s novel of the same name), of a young woman’s struggle with epilepsy and a less than salubrious background is in many ways admirable. It is beautifully shot, features some interesting relationship dynamics and focuses on an neurological disorder that rarely receives creative coverage however the occasionally hackneyed script and not entirely convincing performance from lead Agyness Deyn lets the film down somewhat. More convincing...

Terrorists in Uniform: The Hypocrisy of War

By Jack Peat, Editor of The London Economic Terrorism is an ugly word. Unlike the act of war that evokes connotations of heroism and fighting for a cause the act of terrorism is lumped with entirely negative overtones and for good reason. But when you fight fire with fire, war with more war, the line between what constitutes terrorism and what justifies war becomes blurred. Jus bellum iustum is one of the earliest doctrines to address the justification of war....

In the words of Noddy Holder; “It’s Christmas!” The festive period is always a magical time of year, as families and friends reunite to spend a few days enjoying all the merriment that we...
