For those of you who still don’t know what the now controversial Kony 2012 campaign is all about click HERE. “I was quite quiet at the beginning. I’ve seen it going on for about a week. It didn’t ring true to me. I was on the Al Jazeera website today when I saw one of the news reports they’d been doing on oil found in Uganda and it began to seem a bit suspicious. A bit too much of a coincidence. Again. I’m not backing […]

Jennifer Blake is a former girl gang member who now works with youngsters warning them about the dangers of joining gangs. I respect what Jennifer is doing. Keep up the good work. I however see that the DREADFUL, stereotypical bordering on offensive film SKET features heavily in this news piece (the DVD was released last week *promotion* ) and the film’s director Nirpal Bhogal was also sitting on the panel. I don’t quite understand why a certain actor has to be up in everything. He wasn’t in the film SKET and the last time I checked was never in […]

Every UK urban project that is released these days features a run down council estate, feral youth, drug dealing and violence. BLUD goes down this same tried and tested road […]

Oh dear… more drama in the heady/exciting world of UK entertainment this morning. Actor Adam Deacon was supposed to appear as a guest on the popular Sky 1 morning show Soccer Am today to promote his new film Payback Season, but was a no-show. So throughout the morning hosts Max and Helen were firing sly shots at Adam. Max called Adam “lazy” and viewers were told that he “couldn’t be bothered to get out of bed”. As you can imagine this didn’t […]

Earlier today I posted the news that popular club/restaurant Tiger Tiger in Croydon had been accused of racism after a DJ claimed he was told his set was attracting too many black people to the establishment and he was then fired. Click HERE to read. Now Tiger Tiger has responded via Twitter. Tiger Croydon refutes @djrsi allegations. He is unwilling to follow our commercial R&B music policy which is why he no longer plays here. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. So basically he wasn’t playing enough Jessie J.
