Media Lens: When The Next Moment Matters More: ‘The Special One’ – Part 3 By David Edwards

Media Lens: ‘The Special One’ – Celebrity, Comedy And Spiritual Egotism – Part 1 By David Edwards
After I published my first book, I encountered quite a few celebrity writers, journalists and activists.

Hackney Burned and Smashed Sean Gittins*
Thuggery this may be, but watching people hurtle rocks at windows and cops with scant regard for their future and the consequences lays bare a complete hatred of the system these rioters have come to know.
