When one thinks  of exorcisms, it's hard to get past the infamous imagery published to the world in 1973, of a young girl, floating above a bed, flanked by two priests, flinging holy water and yelling about the power of Christ. At the same time as the Exorcist movie was hitting the cinemas, however, there was one, real life exorcist doing very different work. With several decades of banishing evil under his belt, he was taking on far bigger tasks, with vampires, the Loch Ness Monster and even the Bermuda Triangle all within his sights.

In this week's News Roundtable episode, Chris Wright is joined by writer, journalist and broadcaster, Christina Patterson, Communications Officer at the Institute of Economic Affairs, Reem Ibrahim, and former Political Editor of the Sunday Mirror, Nigel Nelson.Chris kicks the conversation off with Rishi Sunak's seemingly desperate electoral ploy to push through the Rwanda scheme, passing the Safety of Rwanda Bill through the House of Commons on Wednesday night. The panel analyse whether the public is as concerned with the issue of immigration as the government have convinced themselves they are, and how Britain should be addressing legal and illegal immigration. Reem argues that immigrants on average are less of a burden and contribute to the economy more than ‘native' Britons… They then focus on Sunak: does he have a vision for the country behind the veil of party politics? Will the Conservatives lurch even further to the right after his likely election defeat? Chris then asks each panellist what story is catching their interest right now: - Nigel takes on the post-office scandal and the impact of ITV's drama Mr Bates vs The Post Office- Christina's is the expansion of the Israel-Gaza conflict in the Middle East to the Red Sea- Reem's is the government's historic bill to ban the sale of tobacco products to anyone born on or after 1 January 2009 – she thinks the attack on vape products doesn't make senseWe'd love to hear what you think of the episode at email@wrightonthenail.fm.Many thanks,WOTN Team  'I Hit The Nail Right On The Head' by Billy Bremner. © Fridens liljor/Micke Finell.Rock around the clock productions AB.www.rockaroundtheclock.coThis episode was produced by Sound Sapiensoundsapien.comThis podcast is published by New Thinking: www.newthinking.com Explore New Thinking podcasts via our website: www.newthinking.com/podcasts

Retour sur l'un des plus gros scandales britanniques des années 2000. Nous sommes le 18 juillet 2005. Les acteurs Jude Law et Sienna Miller sont fiancés depuis 7 mois et le Sunday Mirror titre : "Le scandale de la nounou". En guise de couverture, une photo d'une jeune inconnue à côté de Jude Law. En corps de magazine, 7 pages d'interview et de révélations exclusives dans lesquelles la baby-sitter ne lésine pas sur les détails de cet adultère... Et sans surprise, le couple formé par Sienna Miller et Jude Law se sépare quelques mois après. Quelques années plus tard, fin 2009, c'est l'événement : les amants terribles du Royaume-Uni font leur come-back ! Mais cette tentative de retrouvailles est un flop. Fin 2011, ils mettent, une fois de plus, un terme à leur histoire. Le duo Law/Miller, est-il vraiment maudit ? Que s'est-il véritablement passé en 2005 entre la nounou et Jude Law ? Comment ce scandale est-il arrivé jusqu'en premières pages des tabloïds ?

In 1984, a serial burglar and rapist was at large in England, his crimes spanning several Home Counties as well as the northeast of the country. He was armed, masked and dangerous, and he had an unusual calling card – in every house he broke into, he built himself a blanket fort in the living room and made himself at home, watching television and drinking cups of tea. His habit of den-building and the way he slunk off into the countryside after his assaults soon led to him being given the nickname ‘The Fox'. People were fearful, and the police had a tough job on their hands as his attacks crossed multiple jurisdictions. They were learning more about him each time he struck, but they needed to catch him fast before his violence escalated. Who was The Fox, and how would they find him?Thanks for listening!

In this week's News Roundtable episode, Chris Wright is joined by former Political Editor of the Sunday Mirror, Nigel Nelson, co-founder of Momentum and former advisor to Jeremy Corbyn, James Schneider, and Professor of European Politics, and Jean Monnet Chair of European Integration at the University of Ireland Maynooth, John O'Brennan.Yesterday, the Minister of State for Immigration Robert Jenrick resigned over the government's Rwanda Plan. Sunak is facing a revolt from the right and centre of his party over this issue, and the panel unpack how the Tories got into this mess. They turn to the recent changes to visa rules where the minimum salary threshold for a work visa is to be raised to £38,700, from the current £26,200, with some exemptions in health and social care. The panel dissect the very foundations of the economic necessity of foreign migrants, and the rhetoric of the government. One panellist argues that ‘stopping the boats' has been largely manufactured as a political media distraction from the cost-of-living crisis, which has led to this sickly Rwanda farce. They turn to the Covid-inquiry, Boris Johnson's performance, the nature of the reporting on it, and whether the purpose of learning about what went wrong for a future pandemic is being achieved. Chris then raises the bizarre and somewhat enraging issue for the Labour Party of Starmer's praising of Thatcher in his recent Telegraph article. Corbyn's former advisor James Schneider has a lot to say about that! We'd love to hear what you think of the episode at email@wrightonthenail.fm, or get in touch if you just want to say hi!WOTN Team 'I Hit The Nail Right On The Head' by Billy Bremner. © Fridens liljor/Micke Finell.Rock around the clock productions AB.www.rockaroundtheclock.co This episode was produced by Tom PlattsThis podcast is published by New Thinking: www.newthinking.com Explore New Thinking podcasts via our website: www.newthinking.com/podcasts

When Annie Campbell uprooted her daughter from their home in Donegal, Ireland and relocated to Sauchie, Scotland in 1960, the move resulted in consequences far beyond what anyone could have expected. Removed from the only home she'd ever known, eleven-year-old Virginia Campbell did her best to acclimate to the foreign environment as she and her mother settled into the home of Virginia's aunt, but within just a few weeks of their arrival the family was under siege from an invisible entity Virginia would later name “Wee Hughie.”One of the most notorious cases of poltergeist activity in Scottish history, the case of the Sauchie poltergeist involved the usual trappings of poltergeist phenomenon—slamming doors, moving objects, and disruptive noises. Yet what set the phenomenon apart from myriad other cases of poltergeist phenomenon was that the supposedly supernatural phenomenon was witnessed by many bystanders, including Virginia's teachers and classmates.Was the Sauchie poltergeist a genuine example of paranormal activity, or was “Wee Hughie” nothing more than an elaborate hoax perpetrated by a creative girl seeking attention in the wake of major disruption in her life and environment?Thank you to the lovely David White, of Bring Me the Axe podcast, for research assistance :)ReferencesAssociated Press. 1960.

When Muswell Hill resident David Farrant wrote to the letters section of the Hampstead and Highgate Express in February 1970, he had hoped to find others who'd witnessed any unusual or potentially supernatural happenings in London's Highgate Cemetery. Instead, Farrant kicked off a moral panic over vampires, ghosts, and all manner of occult activities that featured prominently in the pages of British newspapers for years. Farrant's letter received a few responses from others who claimed to have had their own supernatural experiences in Highgate Cemetery, but the story would likely have ended there had it not been for Sean Manchester. A self-proclaimed occultist and vampire hunter, Manchester claimed that what Farrant had seen at Highgate was in fact a vampire, and moreover, the cemetery itself was the site of ongoing black masses, vampire gatherings, and other dark practices. Soon, a rivalry developed between Farrant and Manchester over who had the power to eradicate the supernatural threat at Highgate and just weeks after Farrant sent his letter to the newspapers, Manchester led a large mob of Londoners into Highgate Cemetery intent on driving out the evil that supposedly swelled there.Throughout the early 1970s, the war of words between Farrant and Manchester frequently captured the public's attention, thanks to the various news outlets that couldn't resist the outrageous actions of the two men that ranged from benign and silly (a naked fire dance in an abandoned building) to gruesome and disrespectful (desecration of human remains). However, while the antics of the two men at the center of the story may elicit a smirk or an eyeroll, the public's response to the supposed supernatural threat provides valuable insight into a phenomenon of moral panic that go on to fuel, among other things, the satanic panic that dominated the news throughout the 1980s and 90s.

The Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley has just confirmed to The News Agents that the Met are looking at the video evidence of a party during lockdown - (thank you Sunday Mirror) with a view to opening another investigation. We have the full exchange on today's episode - and hear his views on politicians telling the Met how to do their jobs. Suella Braverman just suggested she'd fully support the Met 'ramping up stop and search'. Hmmm. We also ask why Rishi Sunak is trying to be anywhere else but the Commons tonight for that vote on the Privileges Committee report into Boris Johnson. What does it say when our leaders dont like showing...erm...leadership. Particularly one's who've promised to restore integrity and transparency to the job...

This is the Royal Rota - our weekly podcast about the royal family, with ITV News Royal Editor Chris Ship and Producer Lizzie Robinson. This week, Chris and Lizzie dissect Prince Harry's historic high court trial, having attended the trial last week. They also look ahead to King Charles' celebrations for Trooping the Colour.Mirror Group Newspapers, which includes the Sunday Mirror and Sunday People denies they have used illegal methods to gather stories about the prince.

The Duke of Sussex aka Prince Harry is taking the media to task over intrusion into his private life which he claims crossed a line into illegality; He believes that Mirror Group Newspapers – publishers of the Daily Mirror, the Sunday Mirror and The People published details about his private life that could only have been obtained by hacking or other unlawful means; MGN is contesting the claim. More than 100 people in total are involved in the High Court action; Harry's is just one of four representative cases being heard. He also has cases pending against the Sun and the Daily Mail's Publishers – and in his statement to the court, he launched a broader attack on the press, warning that “democracy fails when your press fails to scrutinse and hold the government accountable, and instead choose to get into bed with them so they can ensure the status quo”. That could almost be a mission statement for the Byline Times which grew out our executive editor Peter Jukes' desire to tell the truth about the phone hacking scandal. Adrian Goldberg talks to Peter, and Byline Times editor Hardeep Matharu who published an editorial applauding Harry for using his privileged position to speak out.Produced in Birmingham by Adrian Goldberg and Harvey White.

It's day one for Prince Harry giving evidence in his claim against the publisher of the Daily Mirror - the first British royal to give court testimony in more than 130 years.This episode of the Leader podcast is brought to you, in part, from outside the Rolls Building of the Royal Courts of Justice in the City of London, where the Duke of Sussex is suing Mirror Group Newspapers for damages.He's claiming journalists at its titles – which also include the Sunday Mirror and Sunday People – were linked to methods including phone hacking, so-called “blagging” or gaining information by deception and use of private investigators for unlawful activities. MGN denies all allegations against it.Revelations from Harry's much-awaited witness box appearance at courtroom 15 and in his 55-page witness statement cover royal family members, the government and close friends as he continues a personal crusade against the tabloid media.For the latest, plus the wider context of Harry's multiple civil claims, we're joined by Evening Standard courts correspondent Tristan Kirk. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In the next 12 months, Prince Harry will be launching multiple lawsuits against multiple newspapers, as part of what he describes as his ‘life's work' to reform the British media. He is accusing some of the country's most popular newspapers of hacking phones, tracking cars and even bugging hotel rooms in order to get stories and photographs of him and his family and friends. On the Sky News Daily, Sally Lockwood speaks to royal correspondent Laura Bundock about the accusations, and Graham Johnson, who ‘blew the whistle' on phone-hacking at the Sunday Mirror in 2014, on why he believes some newspapers thought it was worth breaking the law to get the scoop.Podcast producer: Rosie Gillott Editor: Philly Beaumont

My guest, Nigerian geologist turned journalist, Pelu Awofeso and I met in passing between his moderating sessions and communing with fellow writers.

His writings have appeared in the Sunday Mirror, Lonely Planet,_ Kinfolk, World Policy Journal, Africa Today, Africa in Words_, LOJEL, 234Next and The Sowetan, among many others. He has published five travel books all focused on his experiences traveling in Nigeria (and Africa). A winner of the CNN/Multichoice African Journalists Awards in tourism reporting, in late 2019, Pelu was also named the Best Travel Journalist in Nigeria by Nigeria Travel Week. He is currently at work on a documentary on one of Africa's pioneer indigenous missionaries and first Black bishop of the Anglican Church, Samuel Ajayi Crowther (1809-91).

Despite the number of documented cases, the poltergeist has consistently been one of the most difficult forms of paranormal phenomena to define with very little consensus over what they are actually supposed to be. Spirits, invisible, unknown energy or childish hoaxes all form the basis of the most common theories that have been presented. In England, the Enfield case is without doubt the most famous poltergeist case and has, over the decades, had all three theories put forward by those that investigated the small, London house. Hundreds of miles north and over the Scottish border in a tiny village named Sauchie is another case that has proven just as difficult to define, despite the contemporary investigator, George Owen concluding, “In my opinion the Sauchie case must be regarded as establishing beyond all reasonable doubt the objective reality of some poltergeist phenomena”.

It was a huge privilege for this week's Nostalgia Interview to meet Nigel Nelson, the longest serving political editor in Fleet Street. Nigel works for the Sunday Mirror and Sunday People. We recorded our interview on the afternoon that the Prime Minister and the Chancellor of the Exchequer received fines from the Metropolitan Police for attending a party in Downing Street during lockdown. Nigel gives us his take on whether they should have resigned and how the removal of the Prime Minister affects the country's command structure. Nigel has worked with seven Prime Ministers, and he explains that he still has a frisson of excitement every time he walks into the House of Commons. He talks about how history can teach you lessons but that it can't tell you what will happen next. We discuss how the nature of news and politics has changed over the years and how it is now a 24/7 operation. Nigel talks about the things he sometimes can't publish and why he is irritated by political biographies, and how facts don't always tell the full story. From his teenage years Nigel has had an interest in politics and a talent for writing and he reveals how he has done things which he could only have dreamed about when he was young, including writing a political novel. I ask Nigel if he ever thought about being on the other side of the fence and he recounts the time he did toy with that idea at the time of the SDP in the 1980s. We learn why he would rather be on the sidelines than becoming one of the players. We find out about the events that Nigel has influenced through his work on The People, and we talk about why he admires Ken Clarke and Nigel Farage from the other side of the political spectrum and the importance for a political journalist of not becoming too friendly with politicians. Nigel shares his thoughts on how Prime Minister's Questions is really theatre and we learn that politicians often don't get along with politicians on their own side. We learn that Nigel's favourite film is Zulu and we discover why Muhammad Ali is such a pivotal figure and why Nigel has an interest in Gregorian chants. Nigel expresses his thoughts on organized religion, and we discuss whether politics and religion are similar. His mother was a spy and Nigel reveals his own experience of when the intelligence agencies tried to recruit him, too. Nigel explains that he would rather reveal than keep secrets. We also learn why he turned his back on university. Being a journalist, Nigel has a ringside view on history and he talks about his experience of being under fire at the time of war, how he and his wife have diametrically opposite political positions, and we learn why Nigel favours coalition as the best form of government. Then, at the end of the interview, Nigel reflects on his life and career and explains why he is a forward looking person. Please note: Opinions expressed are solely those of Chris Deacy and Nigel Nelson and do not necessarily represent the views or opinions of the University of Kent.

In this week's  ‘News Roundtable' episode, host Chris Wright joins political correspondent at PA Media Geri Scott, former Sunday Mirror editor and director of communications at UK music Vincent Moss, and economist Vicky Pryce.The episode begins by discussing the lorry queues and chaos in Dover to debate whether this is a sign that Brexit is expensive and damaging to the economy. They consider whether the gridlock was mainly due to the suspension of sailings by P&O ferries, and how this issue may intensify with travel during the Easter bank holiday weekend.  The conversation then moves to chew over Rishi Sunak and Boris Johnson's decision to reject calls for their resignation after receiving lockdown fines. Will Johnson survive the return of partygate? And how will this affect Rishi Sunak's leadership, following the emergence of a tax row involving his wife?Together, the panel explores the government's crackdown on unauthorised migrants with plans for people seeking asylum in the UK to be flown 4,500 miles to Rwanda. The panel explores whether this initiative, described by Labour as “unworkable and unethical”, is a distraction from Boris Johnson's recent law-breaking.Created & produced by Podcast Partners: www.podcastpartners.comSign up to receive updates by email when a new episode drops at www.wrightonthenail.fm

Seeing other people fully - as more than how they look or what they say, is hard and takes courage. Buying a coffee for the person in the queue behind you on a cold day, or not lashing out when someone upsets you means not giving into the fear of 'what ifs' and putting kindness before everything else. And this week's guest, Debbi Marco, journalist and author of The Power of Kindness, Inspiring Stories: Heart-Warming Tales and Random Acts of Kindness from the Coronavirus Pandemic, asks us to see behind the behaviour and pause in order to "strengthen our kind muscle". In this episode we discuss the buddhist concept of common humanity, global acts of kindness that occurred throughout the world during the covid pandemic and whether or not the world is becoming a more kind place. There is so much down-to-earth wisdom in this conversation. It'll make you think about your own actions while also inviting you to trust in the greater good that's possible in all of humanity. And hopefully help you find the courage to be more kind. Sit back, have a listen and enjoy! Debbi Marco has written for a wide range of newspapers from The Daily Telegraph to The Sunday Mirror. She also features regularly on BBC radio, is a an experienced copywriter and ghost writer as well as being the author of five books, The Power of Kindness, being her most recent. Debbi currently lives in London with her husband and two children. You can find her on twitter @DebbiMarco and her most recent book The Power of Kindness, Inspiring Stories, Heart-Warming Tales and Random Acts of Kindness from the Coronavirus Pandemic, is available to buy from all good booksellers including Waterstone's and Amazon.

Guests debate whether the introduction of mandatory voter ID at elections undermines UK democracy, and highlight a lack of social care plan despite growing pressure on staff and funding being exposed during the pandemic.Guests also discuss whether we will see another Scottish referendum, what this could mean in terms of identity, and whether Scotland could re-join the European Union.Created & produced by Podcast Partners: www.podcastpartners.comSign up to receive updates by email when a new episode drops at: www.wrightonthenail.fm
