'Arrogant' Muslim preacher jailed Muslim preacher Abu Izzadeen and five other men convicted of supporting terror during speeches at a London mosque have been jailed. A judge described 33-year-old Izzadeen as "arrogant contemptuous and utterly devoid of any sign of remorse". He sentenced him to four-and-a-half years in prison on charges of inciting terrorism and terrorist fundraising. Izzadeen made the news in 2006 when he heckled then Home Secretary John Reid during a speech in London's East End. The sentencing was delayed after one of the guilty men, who had jumped bail for 10 days, turned himself in on Friday morning. Shah Jalal Hussain, 25, surrendered at Kingston Crown Court after he went missing when the jury began deliberations on 8 April, prompting the court to issue a warrant for his arrest. He was convicted of terrorist fundraising and breaking his bail conditions and jailed for two years and three months.
Date set for 48-hour Tube strike Tube workers plan to stage a 48-hour strike in a row over staff transfers and pensions. The strike will begin at 1030 BST on Monday 28 April, the Rail Maritime and Transport (RMT) union said. It said Transport for London (TfL) had not provided written guarantees on pensions and travel provision for 2,500 staff at failed private firm Metronet. TfL said it had assured the RMT that no staff would lose jobs or pensions, nor would any be transferred. The RMT wants a guarantee that Metronet workers will be allowed to join the TfL pension scheme and receive the same travel facilities as other TfL employees. RMT general secretary Bob Crow said it had only received "hedged, qualified and ambiguous" guarantees from TfL. "The RMT executive was left with no choice but to set strike dates," Mr Crow said.

Black Drum Rumor of Knights of Order moving into the London area have been confirmed in the Black Drum Monday night. A demon from Leeds stumbled into the bar, announcing that the human Knights had chanced him across the country to London, before pursuit broke off. Several other patrons then confirmed that they too had, had run ins with the Knights. A feeling of unease is beginning to settle around the city.
Rumors on Thames An angel from France recently came to London, seemingly dazed and lost. Rumor has it that he has no recollection of the events that resulted in several server injuries. Others have debated that the Knights of Order were involved in the attack, but nothing has been confirmed. Though one interesting piece of information should be noted: The angel had in his possession a curious scroll. One he can, apparently, neither remember how he came to have it...or what it is.
