Cameron Savaged Over Libya Incompetence

    The Prime Minister's record on defence and foreign affairs has been criticised in the second excerpt of Lord Ashcroft's book, which is being serialised in the Daily Mail. David Cameron has been accused of rank incompetence over his handling of Syria's civil war. According to the new book, former Tory chairman Michael Ancram says Libya is Mr Cameron’s ‘Iraq’. The country now is more dangerous than when the PM decided to topple Colonel Gaddafi, according to Lord Ancram. And Mr Cameron's rocky relationship with his former chief of defence staff, General Sir David Richards is exposed. According to the book, General Richards says he had to tell Mr Cameron that "being in the Combined Cadet Force at Eton" did not qualify him to decide the tactics of complex military operations. A...

New survey reveals cost of living: Is this the most hated thing about London

    London's cost of living was the biggest issue for Brits The things that Britons hate most about London are the cost of living and bad manners of its residents, according to a survey. The survey asked 1,800 people from across the UK what they loved and hated the most about London. London's most hated quality should come as no surprise to anyone - the cost of living came top, with 37.8 per cent of respondents saying this was their least favourite thing about the city. London was recently revealed to be the third most expensive city in the world, being pipped to the post by billionaires' playgrounds in the Cayman Islands and Switzerland. 23.8 per cent, however, were more concerned about the lack of manners present in the city, clearly having had bad experiences on the Cent...

Migrant vs Refugee: what the terms mean, and why they matter

    A migrant family wait for a bus that would take them to a temporary holding center for migrants, near the border line between Serbia and Hungary in Roszke, southern Hungary. Almost everyone agrees that the tens of thousands of people fleeing into Europe from Syria, Afghanistan, and other locations constitutes a crisis. But there's no agreement about the solution: whether they should be welcomed, or prevented from entering. That split goes so deep that the two sides can't even agree on what the people entering Europe should be called. To those who view them sympathetically, they're refugees; to those who want them kept out, they're migrants. So which side is right? The answer's complicated. For people in developed countries, there's a big difference between someone who choo...

Isil jihadist Omar Hussain complains of rude Arabs who steal his shoes and can’t queue

    IS jihadist complains of rude Arabs who steal his shoes and can't queue. (Picture used for representational purposes only) A British jihadist with Isil has moaned that his Arab comrades are rude, do not know how to queue and eat like schoolchildren. In a bizarre rant, Omar Hussain also complained that his fellow terrorists talk loudly when he is trying to sleep, invade his space and steal his shoes. Their bad driving, habit of staring at people and using his charger for their mobile phones also come under fire.

Australia swears in new Prime Minister Turnbull

    Multi-millionaire former banker Malcolm Turnbull was sworn in as prime minister of Australia on Tuesday, just hours after masterminding a coup against conservative leader Tony Abbott, and pledging a new style of leadership. Turnbull is the country's fourth prime minister in just over two years, a recent Australian polit-ical tradition the deposed Abbott slammed as a "revolving door" that was not good for the country. "This is the most exciting time to be an Australian," Turnbull told reporters in the capital be-fore taking the oath. "This is a turn of events I did not expect, I have to tell you, but it's one that I'm privileged to undertake, and one that I'm certainly up to." Turnbull, a suave former lawyer, has pledged to run a consultative government, in contrast to Abb...

As Migrant Crisis Grows, Border Free Europe Unravels

    Two decades of frontier-free travel across Europe unraveled on Monday as countries re-established border controls in the face of an unprecedented influx of migrants, which broke the record for the most arrivals by land in a single day. Germany's surprise decision to restore border controls on Sunday had a swift domino effect, prompting neighbors to impose checks at their own frontiers as thousands of refugees pressed north and west across the continent while Hungary sealed the main informal border crossing point into the European Union. A majority of EU interior ministers, meeting in Brussels, agreed in principle to share out 120,000 asylum seekers on top of some 40,000 distributed on a voluntary basis so far, EU president Luxembourg said. But details of the deal, to be fo...

Corbyn Starts Work On Forming New Top Team

    Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn will today begin the task of assembling a shadow cabinet - in the face of deep divisions over his radical left wing policies. Less than 24 hours after his resounding win in the leadership contest, six shadow cabinet ministers have resigned with others tipped to follow. Mr Corbyn, 66, the long-standing MP for Islington North, has promised half of the new top team will be women. Announcements are expected over the next 48 hours as Mr Corbyn prepares for his first appearance before the Parliamentary Labour Party in the Commons on Monday. The scale of his victory among party members as well as trade unionists and new-found supporters - he won almost 60% of the 422,664 votes cast - has muted talk of a bid by disgruntled moderates to oust him. But the...

Music of Hason Raja

    Film Maker Ruhul Amin has just returned to London after spending three months in Mumbai with the Bollywood Music director Bappi Lahiri.

Ruhul Amin has pushed Bappi Lahiri to pull all the stops out to produce such an unparalleled example in the history of Bengali popular music. The melody and the orchestration stay true to the sentiment of Hason Raja, but re-arrange them in a spectacular way. All together 11 songs h...
