OXFORD ST PREACHER IN COURT

A street preacher harassed a pedestrian by telling him he was a "sinner" and would "burn in hell", a court heard today.

Philip Howard was using a megaphone to preach to shoppers on Oxford Street in central London when the incident allegedly took place.

Horseferry Road Magistrates Court heard that the 51-year-old launched into a "diatribe of abuse" after a passer-by asked him to turn the volume down.

Stanislaw Was said Howard leaned towards him and shouted: "Your hair's going grey, your skin's sagging, and that's because you're a sinner. When you die you're going to burn in hell."

Mr Was says he felt "intimidated" by the tirade. "It was no sermon he was giving, it was no words of wisdom. It was an angry rant. He made personal statements about me. I felt intimidated."

Dressed in a black jumper and clutching a small Bible, Howard, from Paddington in west London, shook his head slightly as Mr Was gave evidence against him.

He denies the public order offence of causing harassment, alarm or distress during the incident in September last year.

Older brother Yeslam bin Laden is a businessman based in Geneva. Late last year he finally launched his own brand of perfume, which he had been planning to call "bin Laden" until 9/11, after which he felt the name wouldn't work in the product's favour.

However, he appears to have missed a trick:



No, I really didn't fake it. I didn't need to.

For too long now Britain has been buckling under the yolk of a tyrannical film industry. Who can forget the day when 50,000 people marched from Shepperton to Trafalgar Square protesting about the eight per cent tax loophole that encouraged major studios to utilise British post-production talent and resources? I know the Archbishop of Canterbury spoke for all of us when he cried: "Lord, let this successful export nightmare end!"

Now, at long last, the Government have seen sense. They have rooted out the cancer of this tax break once and for all, and seen off the dark threat of further productive contracts for a thriving British industry. Soon, God willing, we will be free of the menace of film-making on these shores once and for all, and for that we should be eternally grateful.
