Actress Ellen Page Speaks Out Against The Queen Of England



CASSIE STOKES ET
Actress Ellen Page is calling out Queen Elizabeth for honouring anti-gay politician, Maurice Mills, in her 2015 New Year's Honours list. The list, which features over 1,000 names from public figures to politicians, credits the controversial Irish councillor for his “services to local government.”

Ellen, who came out to the world last February, did not hold back her feelings when she tweeted "f**k that" in response to an article on the issue earlier today.

English man murdered, two others injured in axe attack on New Year’s morning



A man has died in an axe and knife attack outside a village pub barely an hour after he saw in the new year.

Police said ‘major disorder’ erupted around the Kings Arms in Tamerton Foliot on the outskirts of Plymouth, Devon, at around 1.30am on Thursday.

A group clashed on the tiny village green leaving a 27-year-old man dead, and two more people in hospital with knife wounds. Two further men from Plymouth – aged 20 and 21 – were arrested on suspicion of murder and are in police custody awaiting questioning.

Officers, who have launched a murder investigation, recovered an axe from the scene and are asking residents to check their gardens for any discarded weapons.

The legislation approving the change was passed unanimously in July and Monday’s vote rubber-stamped that change in the rules.

It brought England into line with other Anglican Churches around the world, as there were women bishops in Australia, Canada, India, South Africa and the U.S..
