Mother, 40, who 'fell in love' with jailed Just Stop Oil activist who faces being deported to Germany for Dartford Crossing bridge protest pleads for him to be allowed to stay in Britain

Marcus Decker climbed 200 feet up the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge over the River Thames in Dartford, Kent, then camped in a hammock for 40 hours, forcing police to close the crossing and causing giant jams in the 2022 protest two years ago. He was jailed for two years and seven months for the stunt - and told he would be deported when released. But now a campaign to prevent this, led by his girlfriend, Holly Cullen-Davies, 40, is taking off. Ms Cullen-Davies, previously a single mum, has told how she 'fell in love' with Decker three years ago and he has 'become a wonderful stepfather' to her two children.

More than £400,000 of cannabis was discovered in an industrial unit in the village that inspired The Archers, which later mysteriously caught fire the next day. Officers from West Mercia Police in riot gear smashed in the doors of a Hanbury, Worcestershire, property earlier this week, using chainsaws and battering rams. They discovered a'sophistic' drug cultivation operation, with high-powered LED lights, heating, insulation, and even a makeshift second floor, where more medications were growing.

www.popsugar.co.uk, September 1, 2023
It all comes down to this. "Top Boy"'s last season is just disadvantages away. The last series of the streamer will be broadcasting after more than ten years, and it is sure to be a good one. The show follows drug dealers Sully (Kane Robinson) and Dushane (Ashley Walters) as they tackle a scene of gang violence in Hackney, East London, for the uninitiated. The program first appeared on Channel 4 in 2011 before being cancelled. Drake, a Canadian rapper, then revived the series in 2017, with the support of Netflix, of course.

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 23, 2023
Giles Wood and Mary Killen, better known as Channel 4's eccentric married couple, have entertained us for eight years, becoming national treasures in the process.

The reality-show favorites talk about how they cope with nosy neighbors and over-cheery dog-walkers, as well as why they both love and hate going shopping in the countryside.

U2 unplugged (more synths, flutes, a choir, and brass band)

www.dailymail.co.uk, March 17, 2023
ADRIAN THRILLS: Never a band to do things by halves, U2 cram an awful lot into a new album that is ostensibly one of their more personal projects. Songs Of Surrender is U2 unplugged, with the exception that it involves more than 40 of their best-loved songs and re-recording them in a less brash manner. Synthesisers, flutes, cellos, a choir, and a brass band are among the back-to-basics acoustic instruments. Even as an experiment in his front room during lockout, guitarist The Edge, the composer's idea, also adorns two numbers (Invisible and The Fly) with the most un-rock and roll of stringed instruments: the dulcimer.

Meet Madonna's (not so material) sisters!One runs a vineyard and another loves quilting

www.dailymail.co.uk, March 3, 2023
Her hair is back and showing a smattering of greys, she beams, her naturally radiant face creasing with happy laughter lines. In fact, forget botox; her skin appears entirely make-up free. This is, of course, Paula Ciccone, Madonna's niece. It's impossible to believe that this smiling, highly normal-looking 60something is even vaguely related to the global superstar, let alone one of her closest relatives. Even as her beloved sister continues to revel in dissatisfaction, her appearance at the new Grammy awards, where she appeared almost ironed of all imperfections and character, not to mention the emergence of her sixth and new toyboy, a 29-year-old chiselled boxer who has been training one of her six children, is a very different life.
