Found free on ufonts.com, should anybody else be making their mothers cards featuring seminal 1970s singles...

According to some sources the guy named by C4 news, the "hate preacher" Abu Izzadeen, is actually in jail at the moment for breaching bail terms. He does bear a superficial resemblance to the pictures of the attacker, but other than that there doesn't seem to be much reasoning behind it.

Wow thank you Ian for going above and beyond! I ended up at that same page Googling for the font, but when I saw it was someone's artwork rather than the cover I assumed it wasn't the same thing...duh. Tomorrow I'll look for a free version for Mac - MyFonts want ?30 for it, much as I love the mater that seems a tad excessive for a weak gag card when I could spend that on wine (for her)! Many thanks all once again for help, much appreciated.

The Rs and Gs don't match for Gill Sans but it's v.close otherwise.

Ah, definite winner in Century Gothic, thanks guys and for the other suggestions, really appreciate it.

Thanks Red - has some elements but the G is proving difficult! Suspect it might be a hand-designed effort...

Can any clever person please tell me what font this is on the great man's album cover? I need it for a mother's day card (long story!) and I could always improvise with Gill Sans which is closeish but it'd be great to get it perfect! http://i.imgur.com/2XA0PjA.jpg?1

This is the best thing I've read about this today, including what's in the established media. Respect.

Thanks Louisa - I feared as much.

More than a fiver a pint Louisa? I'm not mean but I am skint quite a lot and I do like to be able to get four pints out of a ?20 if possible!

Ta. Delighted it's open again and not a block of flats...though it was the gigs which really made me make the effort to travel in the past...

Sanctimony has always been rife > on the good old EDF. Isn't accusing people of virtue signalling just sanctimony in another form, in fact virtually virtue signalling itself? Anyway it's become pretty meaningless now, it's so overused on t'internet - it's the new "political correctness gone mad."

The Sunday Times is sh!te though ???? - my mother buys it so I do see it sometimes. Not just because of its political stance though - I find the Telegraph a good read even though I disagree with virtually all its opinions - but because it has that Murdoch feel that its journalists are just people from The Sun with extra adjectives.

I feel it incumbent upon myself, for the good of my reputation, to point out that I do not purchase the Sunday Times and would not give a penny to any Murdoch outlet - I just happened to see the story on the BBC!

Anything edited by Mr.Osborne should be regarded as unsafe but it is a straight link to the Standard website!

I did warn subject to severe BS and I'm not a lawyer. However home protection sites often say this: The Criminal Justice Act 2003 provides some protection to householders. For instance if a trespasser suffers an injury during the course of a crime, for which they are subsequently convicted, they will only be able to sue the occupier or landowner with the court?s permission. If it can be shown that there were adequate warning signs and the deterrent was clearly visible this is unlikely to be given. Someone else might be able to tell you if that's true. I seem to recall that in the Tony Martin case the surviving burglar had to go to court to ask for permission to sue, rather than just issuing a suit as one might normally do.

There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about...

All householders have a legal duty of care to prevent injury to anyone coming onto their property, even if they're a burglar or other trespasser. The police don't encourage such things due to the risk of being sued. It's not illegal to have such preventative measures in place (though if they're in an area lower than 2.4 metres the council can order their removal under the Highways Act) but if someone does injure themselves, even if in the act of committing a criminal act, the householder can be liable. Not saying that's necessarily fair, but that's my understanding. ETA (and this may be subject to severe BS as it's based on half-remembered conversations with my barrister sister) I believe the success or otherwise of any legal action would depend on whether the householder could foresee the risk of injury and has warned against it, so for example if you have a big sign saying "Warning, barbed wire," or metal railings with obvious spikes on top, it would generally be seen as the perpetrator's fault - if the top of a ten foot wall has glass embedded in it so that someone jumping from below can't see it that might be a different matter. One thing in favour of the householder is that anyone convicted of a crime such as attempted illegal entry would have to ask the convicting court for permission to sue the householder for the damages incurred in the commission, permission which would be most unlikely to be forthcoming.

Because setting myself on fire at home would still be quite painful...oh I see. All the incidents in that article, Louisa, were people having heavy treatment for serious conditions whose clothes and bedding were soaked in the paraffin and who then dropped lit fags on them or similar, it's just not going to happen on the bus. I agree people spraying perfume etc about is something we can do without, but I'm sure there are often legitimate reasons someone (especially someone with a child with a condition) might need to apply a medicinal cream on the bus. We're not all going to go Mr.Krook because of it.

I for one am boycotting all public transport until action is taken to stop this epidemic of incidents of cream-soaked people catching on fire on buses, trains and tubes, of which there are literally none every single year.
