American: The Bill Hicks Story (15) HHH
The life of Bill Hicks, the original angry young comic, is given careful and affectionate study in this fascinating film from Matt Harlock and Paul Thomas. Tracing Hicks from his Southern Baptist upbringing in Texas, all the way through to his UK tour with dates in Edinburgh and Glasgow, this shows a performer who was never afraid to speak truth to power. What fans will find most moving is the footage from his first gigs as a teenager, and from his last performances before his death from cancer at 32.

For years we in the West have been looking for a new Evil Empire to fill the gap left when Russia a genuine threat retired from the job and deprived us of an enemy. What were all those spies to do? How could we justify those missiles and bombs? What should we be scared of now?

Bakri, exiled from Britain in 2005 for inciting hatred, is infamous for his radical interpretation of Islam, which includes denouncing Western 'depravity' and claiming the British people brought the 7/7 outrages on themselves.

IT'S been called the greatest cultural barrier still existing in Britain. Some Asian and Muslim families would rather cast out their children than see them marry into the black, Afro-Caribbean culture, and vice versa.
Even though most are now British-born, the incidence of cross- cultural marriages is extremely rare, and can be frowned upon by both communities.
