John Terry trial: the ultimate manipulation of justice? |
https://petercharles.wordpress.com/2012/02/05/john-terry-trial-the-ultimate-manipulation-of-justice
John Terry trial: the ultimate manipulation of justice? John Terry’s days in an England shirt are surely numbered. Stripped of the captaincy for the second time in his career and rapidly losing the respect of his peers, the 31-year-old will go to the Euros in June knowing that the tournament could be his last at international level. Aside from the fact that this has forced the FA to strip Terry of the captaincy, avoiding a media backlash, but at the acceptable expense of pissing off Fabio Capello, it rai...

Who you gonna call? Not these guys… |

Who you gonna call? Not these guys…. A deathly hush envelopes the room as the words left her lips: tonight we are going to prove to you that there is life after death. It’s Psychic Night at The Pilgrim, and yours truly has come along, not necessarily with any intention of speaking to the dead, but more out of a belief that one should always strive to have new experiences, no matter how ridiculous they might seem.

Will Sergeant, of post-punk stalwarts Echo and the Bunnymen, opened the exhibition at a new gallery in Penny Lane last Thursday. The Penny Lane Gallery will display Sergeant’s abstract works as well as a special collection called ‘Postcards From Cairo’ which were created around old photos of his father taken during the Second World War. I don’t like to explain my artwork t...

How I learned to stop whinging and love the superbowl. No-one in England cares about the Superbowl Final, right? The most popular British sports are so inexorably linked to our history and woven so tightly into our national psyche that there is simply no room for a sport where the participants wear body armour, paint their faces and thump each other for making a decisive tackle or holding a pass, right?

Opening The Brink (L-R): Jacquie Johnston-Lynch, Peter Spanton (of Spanton Beverages) and manager Carl Alderdice. Community Engagement Worker Damien Kelly explains the idea behind the project:.
