By providing additional hotel stock for the city, at Tune Hotels’ vision of great value and savings, the new property is an ideal way to target domestic and international visitors.


As one of the most frequented cities in the world, London hotel costs can often be seen as too pricey for a weekend break.

Prince Charles and Duchess of Cornwall attacked by student protest in London, 9th December 2010



Charles and Camilla's ordeal began when they left Clarence House at approximately 7.15pm, Thursday, 9th December, 2010.

As their limousine, escorted by three police outriders and an unmarked police car, turned into Regent Street from Piccadilly Circus, the Royal Couple was instantly recognised by the crowd including the protesters.

At first they were seen talking happily and waving at passers-by.

However, suddenly the crowd began to close in around them, swelled by student fee protesters who had run to the scene from the riot outside Parliament.

Bags of rubbish, traffic cones, bottles and plastic barriers from roadworks started to rain down on the Rolls-Royce, which was stopped in its tracks when a large bin was thrown in front of it.

Rioters, wearing balaclavas and scarves over their faces, surrounded the car, kicking the car, banging on the windows – one of which was open – and shouting ‘Tory scum’ and ‘off with your heads’. A lone policewoman tried desperately to clear the mob, to no avail.

Poor Camilla could be heard screaming as she gripped Charles’s hand. Terrified for her safety, she then dived on to the floor of the car. One witness said Charles pushed her down in an attempt to protect her.

The Prince, however, defiantly remained sitting in his seat and continued to wave at the crowd. (like King Arthur??)




















Well it is not everyday that we saw the future King of England, being attacked by mobs. The Prince of Wales, Prince Charles had to endure that frightening moment in London last night.

The Rolls Royce carrying the Royal Couple, Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall, Camilla Parker, was ambushed while on the way to the Royal Variety Performance 2010 at the London Palladium.

It happened around 7.15 pm London time at the Regent Street.

The students were protesting after Members of Parliaments voted to increase university tuition fees in England.

It turned violent and the London police had a hard time, dispersing the rowdy and unruly crowd.

Yes.. this is Christmas season and yet it happened.

As a result of the attack, the Royal Couple car was dented, its window smashed and smeared with paint.

Nevertheless, Prince Charles and Carmilla arrived on schedule at the London Palladium at 7.20 pm, about 5 minutes after the attack.



















Security analyst and former police officer Charles Shoebridge said "This is a very serious incident. It ranks amongst the most serious security breaches of the past decade. Some of the demonstrators yesterday were carrying petrol, specifically If the can of paint had been a can of petrol, it would have been very different."

The former intelligence officer condemned how Charles and Camilla were allowed to 'blunder' into the demonstration and questioned whether Scotland Yard had the right people in charge.

Prime Minister David Cameron, who described the attack as 'shocking and regrettable', insisted lessons had to be learned and those responsible held to account.

'It's no good to say this was a very small minority. It wasn't,' he said. 'There were quite a number of people who clearly were there wanting to pursue violence and destroy property.

'I know that the Metropolitan Police Commissioner is going to be working hard to report on this. I also know quite rightly he will look into the very regrettable incident where the Prince of Wales and his wife were nearly attacked by this mob.'

The Prime Minister spoke to the Met Chief and Prince Charles' private secretary last night, after the incident, but he stressed the police were not to blame. 'It was the fault of the people who tried to smash up that car,' he said.

London mayor Boris Johnson hailed Charles and Camilla's 'great fortitude of spirit' and called for an end to the violent tuition fee protests.

He said: 'Clearly, it is very regrettable that in the heart of London, the heir to the throne can be surrounded by agitators and his wife can be put in a position where she's plainly alarmed.'

One witness said Charles kept calm, gently pushing his wife towards the floor to get her out of the line of fire.

'Charles got her on the floor and put his hands on her,' said Adnan Nazir, a 23-year-old podiatrist who was following the protesters.

Merry Christmas Your Majesty.

Gordon Brown leaves No. 10 Downing Street



After his 13 years as British Prime Minister ended on Tuesday 11 May 2010 after conceding election defeat, Mr Gordon Brown's voice cracked with emotion as he ended a brief statement with a simple: "Thank you and goodbye."





Then in a poignant moment, he and Sarah walked to the famous door of No10, Downing Street, the office of the British Prime Minister, to collect John, six, and Fraser, three - one of the rare occasions Mr Brown has exposed his children to the glare of publicity.

He kissed the boys on the head before being driven to Buckingham Palace to tender his resignation to the Queen - ending 13 years of Labour rule.

It was the final act of an often troubled and tempestuous premiership.


Aides, including his gatekeeper Sue Nye and chief adviser Justin Forsyth, had gathered in Downing Street to watch his departure.

Mr Brown revealed: "It is my intention to tender my resignation to the Queen. I shall advise her to invite the Leader of the Opposition to seek to form a government."

He offered a good luck message to Tory leader David Cameron, watching on TV in his Commons office.

He went on: "I have been privileged to learn much about the very best in human nature and a fair amount too about its frailties - including my own."

Despite looking exhausted, Mr Brown said he had "loved the job". The man who often came under attack over lack of equipment for British troops then praised their courage.

His voice wavering with emotion, he turned to his wife, standing a few feet behind him, and said: "I want to thank Sarah for her unwavering support as well as her love. I thank my sons John and Fraser for the love and joy they bring to our lives. As I leave the second most-important job I could ever hold, I cherish even more the first - as a husband and father."

Minutes later, the door to Number 11 opened and Chancellor Alistair Darling and his wife Maggie also left Downing Street. It emerged that Mr Brown's predecessor Tony Blair phoned just before he took the decision to throw in the towel.

But a spokesman would not comment on rumours that Mr Blair urged him to stand down.

The Watt family in England could be the worst ever family in the universe!!!


Poor Michael Gilbert, he suffered for 10 years before being murdered and his body decapitated. Where was the police, the neighbour, the caring society??


This story chilled me. If i ever encounter this Watt family in England, i will not hesistate to spray them with 500 M16 submachine gun bullets!!!!!!! Or use a 600 kilotan TNT and Dynamite to blast their useless brains!!!

James Watt, Robert Watt and Richard Watt inhumane and insanely crimes are :

1. Torturing one poor and unfortunate guy - Michael Gilbert for 10 years straight..!! They used all kinds of tortures like shooting him with air pistol, punching, kicking, head butting and treating him worse than a pig, for 10 straight years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2. Finally they killed Gilbert, 26, by jumping up and down his belly.

3. After Gilbert was killed, his body was decapitated into various parts and thrown like rag tag dolls.

Read the story below by the daily mail UK.

A gang of sadists who tortured a 'naive and vulnerable' man for ten years before dumping his decapitated body into a lake were convicted of his murder yesterday.

Michael Gilbert, 26, was used as a 'dogsbody and slave', shackled to a bed and attacked by the group's pet pit bulls.

In one bizarre incident, he was even made to goad a large exotic lizard until it attacked him.

The appalling beatings - often recorded on mobile phones - included being stabbed, hit with a baseball bat, forced to stand in boiling water and shot at with an air pistol.

His main tormentor's girlfriend even invented a 'game show' where individuals were paid to assault him.

Although Mr Gilbert did escape occasionally, the gang would contact the Department for Work and Pensions and quote his national insurance number to discover where he was signing on before snatching him back.

Astonishingly, police were aware he was in trouble but he didn't want to pursue a complaint because the victim had said 'it would make it worse for me in the long run'. (fuck the UK Police!!!)

Mr Gilbert finally died after a new form of torture was devised, involving members of the family jumping on his stomach.

They then hacked his corpse into pieces at their home in Luton, Bedfordshire, before throwing it into a lake known as the Blue Lagoon in nearby Arlesey.

Some parts of his body, including the torso, hands and feet, were found by two dog walkers last year 2009, while others, including his head, were only recovered in February 2010.

Yesterday 23 April 2010, ringleader James Watt, 27, his girlfriend Natasha Oldfield, 29, and his brother Richard's girlfriend Nichola Roberts, 21, were convicted of murder.



The house of horror where Michael Gilbert finally died after 10 years of continous torture.



Two anglers found Mr Gilbert's decapitated body in the Blue Lagoon in Arlesey, Bedfordshire




This couple looked very Guilty indeed: Richard Watt and Jennifer Smith-Dennis - They should be put inside a 2 metre hole and pissed at by every passing human beings until the hole overflowed by urine and they drowned!!!



Couple from the pit bottom of Hell : James Watt and his girlfriend Natasha Oldfield - James Watt should be electrocuted by 10,000 Megawatt of electricity for 10 straight years and burned alive before being cut into pieces and fed upon by Pit Bulls. This arsehole devil deserves that after what he did to Michael Gilbert.



Robert Watt should be barbecued alive and eaten by alligators for what he did.

Another of James Watt's brothers, Robert, 20, and his mother Jennifer Smith-Dennis, were found guilty of familial homicide. Richard admitted the same charge.
All were also convicted of perverting the course of justice. They will be sentenced on Monday 26 April 2010.

The men's father, former builder Antonio Watt, 70, was acquitted of familial homicide and perverting the course of justice.

Judge John Bevan told the jurors that they had sat through 'ghastly' evidence and excused any from being called for jury service again.

After the hearing, Mr Gilbert's mother, Rosalie, 49, focused her anger on Smith-Dennis.

'What sort of woman would allow the things we heard about to go on in her home and for all those years?' she said.
'You raise your kids to be the best they can be, not cold-blooded murderers. That mother could have done something to help Michael and never did.'



Grim discovery: Officers pull a bag containing Michael Gilbert's body from the lagoon.

Michael Gilbert's body parts were found in a prison bag which had been thrown into this lake.

Mr Gilbert's torso was found by two anglers. His head, knee joints and elbow were discovered in a separate bag

Mr Gilbert's brother Chrissy, 31, said that although his brother had had a happy childhood, his 'naive' personality made him easy prey for the Watt family.

His habit of 'taking off to do his own thing' for long periods of time meant he eventually became estranged from his own family and ended up in a children's home aged 15 where he met James Watt.

The court heard evidence from witnesses including Philip Budd, a regular visitor to the Watts' home, who said Mr Gilbert had locking pliers attached to his genitals which were used to lead him around 'like a dog on a lead'.

Zoe Smith, 23, described how Mr Gilbert was shackled with silver handcuffs to the bottom of a bunk bed she slept in with her boyfriend Colin Watt, who was not charged with any offence.

During the three-year relationship, she admitted to visiting the home on around 150 occasions and seeing Mr Gilbert assaulted 'nearly every time'.

The abuse continued as the Watts moved into a succession of different houses in the town.

Mr Budd said that by 2008 Mr Gilbert was only allowed to wear boxer shorts to prevent him escaping.

Another visitor described watching him being shot in the lower back with an air rifle. A postmortem examination would later reveal pellets still embedded in his body.

Oldfield was found to have written an entry in her diary entitled 'Game Show Ideas'. Underneath, she suggested 'various sums of money linked to different assaults on Michael'.

One line said: '£5 slap, £10 punch, £15 kick, £25 head butt.' Another read: 'Gilbert ends up dead.'

As well as 'entertainment', the family also saw Mr Gilbert as a 'cash cow' and would often take his benefits.

By the end of 2008, they were doing sit ups while leaning on a piece of wood across his mouth and jumping on his stomach. One of those was Robert Watt, who weighed 21 stone at the time.

Mr Gilbert is believed to have died from his injuries on January 21 last year.

Detective Chief Inspector Jon Humphries yesterday insisted nothing more could have been done to save Mr Gilbert. 'Hindsight is a wonderful thing,' he added.

The Luton Safeguarding Of Vulnerable Adults Board is to set up a serious case review into his death.

Family that revelled in crimeLong before the Watt family were arrested for the murder of Michael Gilbert they had developed a reputation as Luton's most notorious antisocial neighbours.

Residents revealed how they would typically arrive in an area late at night, shattering its peace within a matter of days. Calm only returned when the family moved on or were forced out.

The Watts also kept a large number of animals including pit bull-type dogs to enhance their stature in their neighbourhood, and exotic giant lizards, one of which was used to attack Mr Gilbert.

At one property, RSPCA vans and police in riot gear were drafted in when the family was evicted.

None of Watts worked except the father, Antonio, now 70, who was employed at a local building firm.

In court, it emerged that the brothers' 'ringleader', James Watt, 27, had 14 previous convictions for 22 different offences, including affray and shooting someone with an airgun. His brother Robert, 20, had two convictions, including battery and theft.

Even the women in their lives had criminal records. James's girlfriend, mother-oftwo Natasha Oldfield, 29, had been cautioned for affray.

Richard Watt's girlfriend Nichola Roberts, 21, had four convictions and a caution, all for leaving a petrol station without paying for fuel.

Only the matriarch of the family, diminutive Jennifer Smith-Dennis, 58, had an unblemished record - in the eyes of the law, at least - until her conviction for familial homicide.

Social services were involved with the family at one stage after Robert was put on the At Risk Register and education services had been called in when the brothers were of school age because they regularly skipped lessons.

Former neighbours said the brothers carried baseball bats and knives claiming it was 'for their own protection'. One, who asked not to be named, said: 'They were rude, noisy and a nightmare.

'They would ride these noisy motorbikes up and down the street and I remember hearing that bars of soap had been pushed through their letter box because they were such a dirty bunch.'

Another former neighbour, again too terrified to be identified, added: 'I had to have CCTV installed because the boys were coming on to my property, and tormenting my wife and daughter by peering through the window at them when I wasn't there.
'The neighbourhood was a nightmare and people were running scared of them.'

Another man, describing how his family had been intimidated by the Watts brothers, said: 'It was a life of hell, not just for my family but the surrounding neighbours.
'It was a constant nightmare, constant phoning up the police. Officers doing nothing, the family living in fear. They would pick on the vulnerable more than anything else.'

Fuck the Watt family!!!!!!!!!! To Hell with them!!!!!!!!

BBC reporter attacked by 2 drunken idiots but fought back!!!


The brave BBC reporter - Paresh Patel.

On 11 September 2009, British Broadcasting Corporation, BBC, Reporter Paresh Patel had been preparing a report in Sackville Gardens, Central Manchester, United Kingdom, when suddenly 2 drunken youths started to harras him.

Mr Patel had been followed for half an hour through Manchester city centre by these two idiots, who subjected him to a barrage of abuse as he attempted to set up a live broadcast with his cameraman Steve Capstick.

Maybe these 2 idiots did not like Asian people or they were complete idiots, not knowing what else to do after consuming alcohols - or they were just amateurish beer drinkers - got flatten up by mere 8 pints of Budweiser...!!!

Hey... if these 2 youths do that in Tamparuli, Sabah, Malaysia, they will surely end up without their heads!!!!

Well, during the incident, Mr Capstcik and a few bystanders tried to defuse the situation but with no avail.

But what these 2 drunken idiots didn't realise was that Mr Patel has a black belt in Karate, and when he was finally pushed too far the suited reporter lashed out in kung-fu style.

He floored one of the unsuspecting thugs with a kick to the groin followed by a lightning-quick punch in the face.

The dazed victim can then be seen in CCTV footage scrambling to his feet just as police arrive to arrest the man as Mr Patel, dubbed the 'BBC Bruiser', calmly walks away.

Judge David Hernandez of the Manchester Magistrates' Court sentenced John Nugent, 22 to a 18 month community order with supervision, and David McKenna, 27 - a community order for 18 months with supervision and 14 hours unpaid work at Manchester Crown Court.

At the sentencing of the pair, Judge Hernandez said: 'He defended himself, he delivered a blow. I say good for Mr Patel.

Jodie Anderson, 26, the female who threw the drink over Mr Patel, had previously pleaded guilty to assaulting Mr Patel and was given a suspended six-week prison sentence and ordered to pay him £50 compensation.

In a victim impact statement read to the court, Mr Patel said: 'I am shocked and upset by what has happened. I was trying to go about my business in a peaceful way.'

A spokesperson for the BBC said they were not commenting on the matter as it was a case for the courts.
