Unadulterated, politically incorrect, blunt and downright hilarious, Chris Rock rocked the stage at Hammersmith Apollo and made no apologies.  The American comic kicked off his first UK tour in Hammersmith, which was unbelievably his first “official” visit to the UK and something that many of his fans across the Atlantic have been waiting to happen for a long time. After the controversy of his most recent visit to the Capital, at the Live Earth event which was broadcast live on the BBC. Before introducing the Red Hot Chili Peppers Rock called the crowd "motherfuckers". Due to the broadcast being at 5:45pm, Chris was immediately cut off and the BBC were forced to make several apologies in direct response to the complaints made by a minority of viewers. However I doubt that those who complained about the use of his language would have been present at the show.

Between leaving my house and traveling to university, I am offered a free newspaper about ten times. There are distributors of The London Paper and the London Lite absolutely everywhere. You’ll find them at Bus-Stops, outside Tube stations, outside shops, on the street corners harassing London’s hurried commuters.

If I want a paper, I’ll pick it up. Why the suppliers of these free papers insist on shoving a newspaper in my face is beyond me.
