Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned

BOXING legend "Butterbean" was forced to reject a fight with Mike Tyson while in a "dark place". But after coming down from 35 STONE the heavyweight - real name Eric Scott Esch - is ready to return to the ring. And Butterbean has old pal Tyson as his No1 target, with YouTube star-turned boxer Jake Paul a close second. He told SunSport: “I’m not a typical boxer, I go out there to fight, I want to knock somebody out. Jake Paul or Mike Tyson. “Jake Paul runs his mouth too much, he’s never fought nobody, I would love to fight him. “But I think people would like to see me and Tyson go at it, which would be a hell of a draw.

A former Mafia boss has opened up on life in the Mob, why it fell apart and what his experiences can teach young people here in the UK thinking of joining street gangs today. Michael Franzese, 71, was a senior ranking ‘Caporegime’ in the Colombo crime gang which, alongside the Genovese, Gambino, Lucchese and Bonnano families, dominated New York for much of the 20 th century. He notoriously masterminded a huge gasoline tax swindle which netted his crew a staggering $9million each week and he was even portrayed in Martin Scorsese ’s gangster classic ‘Goodfellas’. But when the ‘Prince of the Mafia’ did the unthinkable and renounced the mob in 1995, he became one of the few men to walk away from ‘that life’ and live to tell the tale. As he prepares to embark on a tour across the UK, Franzese sat down with Metro.co.uk to discuss life in the Mafia, what made it so successful, what eventually brought it crashing down and why it will never be the same again. Although … [Read more...] about Top Mob boss reveals how the Mafia survived for so long and why it’ll never be the same again

WIMBLEDON has a famously strict dress code - but fans are loving that adidas' bold new "bra" outfit has been given the green light by tournament officials. The All-England Club is famous for cracking down on outfits that stray from the all-white code . In the past, SW19 bosses have even banned caps featuring even the merest splash of colour on the peak. So fans were left refreshingly pleased after a number of ladies' singles players were allowed to wear their bold new adidas outfit. The two-piece ensemble has turned heads, with everyone on Twitter raving about it. World No5 Maria Sakkari, 26, was the most-recent to show off the all-white outfit, which leaves the midriff exposed, after French ace Kristina Mladenovic had worn it earlier in the week.

Dear British Government, why is everything so awful? That’s not a rhetorical question – the time for those is long gone so don’t even think about trundling Dominic Raab, like a suitcase full of own-brand Prosecco, in and out of the nation’s newsrooms to “explain”. If he winks again , I might dry heave. For the sake of simplicity, here are a few key areas of concern: no matter how hard our children study they won’t get a place at a half-decent university; GP numbers are plummeting faster than barristers’ morale ; fuel prices are rocketing; the Union is at grave risk; head teachers are bringing hot water round to families who can’t afford to boil the kettle; it would take too long to namecheck the sectors on strike and a baked bean war has broken out at Tesco . I’m not the ideological sort. I don’t care who’s in charge as long as the trains run (although for the record, I draw the red line at Mussolini). I’m agnostic about Heinz. If I have to rein in my monthly outlay on … [Read more...] about Britain is broken – but this is how it can be fixed

WHEN I dream about horses, as I sometimes do, I often dream about my own horse, a large and touchy palomino, on the one day in ten years of fox hunting when everything went right. On that October day the red-tailed hawks whistled overhead, the soft early sunlight angled through the mist rising from the woods, the autumn smells of sumac and fallen leaves and damp earth filled the air, and my horse was the palomino Pegasus. He soared over every fence as if he had wings. He never pulled at the bit or crowded the horses in front of him or embarrassed me by running wildly past the master as all the field looked on. He didn't fidget and paw and buck at a halt and force me to walk him nervously around in a circle. He didn't stop suddenly at a jump and send me soaring over the fence as if I had wings. He stood neatly to the side when the huntsman with his red coat and the hounds with their heedlessness came dashing toward us on a narrow path in the woods, not blundering into their way at the … [Read more...] about Tallyho and Tribulation

A woman has taken to Mumsnet, asking if she is being unreasonable for not wanting her in-laws to look after her 11-week-old baby overnight, prompting one user to respond: User PinkCheetah wrote: "Since she was born, actually since I was pregnant, the ILs [in-laws] have been asking on repeat when they can take the baby away overnight to stay at theirs for a few days at a time. DH [darling husband] and I keep declining for many reasons. "For example, she's exclusively breastfed. And mainly I don't like being apart from LO [little one] too long. Even when she goes out for a few hours with DH [darling husband], I feel unsettled. And I don't agree with some of the things they want to do e.g ILs want to cosleep sometimes. "I do sometimes cosleep but I only trust myself to do this and no one else. ILs have also been dropping hints that I should do things differently. For example, they keep suggesting I should just formula feed, so they can help with feeds. "But I want to keep … [Read more...] about Internet slams “pushy” in-laws demanding to take 11-week-old baby overnight

WE have the most inclusive state broadcaster in the world. The citizens of China, who can basically only watch one channel, of pandas procreating, would kill for such diversity. ’Allo ’Allo , Dad’s Army and The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air , which all first aired on the Beeb , were given sensitivity warnings when they appeared on streaming services. Doctor Who’s Time Lord regenerated so much he became a she, and EastEnders sermonises so much about sexism it’s down to its last 27 viewers. A couple of years ago the Beeb considered banning the “colonial” song Rule, Britannia! from Last Night Of The Proms , and last week Aunty used the phrase “pregnant people” in its coverage of the (appalling) US ruling against abortions. Most recently, the BBC has hired non-binary inclusion consultants to teach staff there are at least 150 different genders. Employees are being urged to declare their pronouns on emails with a list which has expanded to include newly invented ones … [Read more...] about Our Auntie BBC loves all 150 genders… but not the over-60s

The biological father of murdered Logan Mwangi says he regularly wakes up screaming and crying because his son visits him in dreams. Ben Mwangi said he collapsed at work when police told him his five-year-old son’s battered three stone body had been found dumped in a river. He was found partially submerged, wearing a Spider-Man top and dinosaur pyjama bottoms, just 250 metres from his home in Bridgend, South Wales. The boy’s body was covered in cuts and bruises and ‘catastrophic’ internal injuries which experts attributed to a ‘brutal and sustained assault’ leading to his death. Evidence in court suggested his life could have been saved if an ambulance was called. Today Logan’s mum, Angharad Williamson, 31, stepdad John Cole, 40, and 14-year-old stepbrother Craig Mulligan, were sentenced for murder. Each of the adults were handed a life sentence , with a minimum of 29 years for Cole and at least 28 for Williamson. Mulligan was given a sentence of life … [Read more...] about Dad of Logan Mwangi says murdered son, 5, visits him in ‘recurring nightmares’

BECAUSE I love my wife and daughter, and because I want them to believe I am a good man, I have never talked to them about my year as a grunt with the 25th Infantry in Vietnam. I cannot tell my thirteen-year-old that once, drunk on Ba Muoi Ba beer, I took a girl her age into a thatched-roof hooch in Tay Ninh City and did her on a bamboo mat. I cannot tell my wife, who paints watercolors of songbirds, that on a search-and-destroy mission I emptied my M-60 machine gun into two beautiful white egrets that were wading in the muddy water of a paddy. I cannot tell them how I sang "Happy Trails" as I shoved two wounded Viet Cong out the door of a medevac chopper hovering twenty feet above the tarmac of a battalion aid station. I cannot tell them how I lay in a ditch and used my M-60 to gun down a skinny, black-haired farmer I thought was a VC, nearly blowing his head off. I cannot tell them how I completed the decapitation with a machete, and then stuck his head on a pole on top of a mountain … [Read more...] about I Am the Grass
