On Wednesday 2nd May two Brighton hunt sabs had the cases against them thrown out of Redhill Court. Both had been charged with aggravated trespass following crap arrests during a meet of the Old Surrey & Burstow Hunt on 3rd December 2011.
The judge ruled that for one defendant the prosecution hadn't even put forward any evidence of trespass, nor that there were any actions which could be interpreted as aggravating the non-existant trespass.
The other sab was left with the farcical situation of the prosecution (realising at half time that they had no chance of a guilty verdict) offering no further evidence after the judge had ruled there was a case to answer. As the prosecutor didn't have the authority to officially discontinue, the case had to carry on. Cue much head-scratching all round as a solution to 'avoid any embarrassment' was sought. In the end the defendant had to briefly take the stand, with even the judge almost feeding him lines, before being found not guilty.
Throughout the trial it was Surrey Police who received the most scrutiny and criticism from the judge and the investigating officer was probably the person most relieved not to have to endure the defence case.

Dive! Living Off America’s Waste by first-time filmmaker Jeremy Seifert, and made with a budget of a mere US$200, explores how American grocery stores are quietly filling their dumpsters with edible food while so many people in the USA go without proper access to nutritious food.

As the front man of the Clash from 1977 onwards, Joe Strummer changed people's lives forever. Filmmaker Julien Temple takes a look beyond the guise of the late, anti-establishment icon Joe Strummer to offer a warm portrait of the self-described "mouthy little git" who was born John Mellor and was destined to become the frontman for one of the most influential punk bands ever.
A complex figure who would learn to use his gift for music as a means of decompressing his conscience, Strummer is revealed here through unearthed interviews and the illuminating recollections of his closest companions.

We're not too fussy about musical taste: in fact everything from Bananarama to Beirut graces the turntables at SchNEWS Towers but here's a genre we felt deserved wider exposure – ambient fash-hop.
Now, fascism has always been proof that the devil definitely doesn't have all the best tunes, and in recent years at least white supremacist music has followed the well-beaten path of Oi Punk and it's offshoots – but not this time...
This daring genre mash-up was the stand-out moment of the the Scottish National Front's election campaign. Of course it has to be heard to experience it's full majesty, but if you took the time to imagine one of Tricky's earlier efforts revived via the medium of a Bontempi organ and the solo vocals of a disgruntled Glaswegian Nazi then you wouldn't be far wrong.
So far the track has accumulated 3000 visits on Youtube, roughly ten times the number of votes the NF received in the electoral contest. Sadly the genius behind this avant-garde leap into the musical darkness has remained anonymous, but we can't help wondering what's next – Balkanized Gypsy Swing, Reich & Roll or Drum & Race anyone?
