    The conservative figure Milo Yiannopoulos is about to release a book and it’s already a best-seller on Amazon’s website. The book is being released by an imprint owned by one of the world’s biggest publishers, Simon & Schuster. The book deal offered to Milo is reported to be worth $250,000 and has told critics,”withhold judgment until they have had a chance to read” the book.

    It is called Dangerous and it’s due to be released on the 14th March.

    Taking to Instagram the controversial journalist, who writes for Breibart News, explained,

    “ON NO ACCOUNT SHOULD YOU BUY COPIES OF THIS BOOK FOR THE FEMINIST IN YOUR LIFE THEREBY PROPELLING IT TO #1 BESTSELLER STATUS ENSURING A LIFETIME OF TRIGGERING FOR EVERY FEMINIST AND PROGRESSIVE LUNATIC ON THE INTERNET PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS IT WOULD BE WRONG PS HERE IS THE LINK”

    Within a day Milo had cracked the top 100 Amazon best seller list ahead of The Princess Diaries by Carrie Fisher.

    Earlier this year the self-proclaimed, super villain of the internet had a scheduled talk at a school cancelled after the school was contacted by the Department for Education’s (DfE) “counter-extremism unit” after concerns about safety were called into question. Around 220 students had signed up to hear Milo speak. A spokesperson for the school noted that, “the staff and students of the school were overwhelmingly in favour”, of Milo’s visit.

    Popular gay bar in South London closing due to rent hikes

    Clapham in south London is to see the closure of one of its two gay bars thanks to unsustainable rent increases. Kazbar, which opened its doors in 1995, will have its last day of business on the 1st of January. The Two Brewers, which is local to the Kazbar, will remain open.

    A statement released via its Facebook page said that after 20 years the bar would be shuttered from the 1st of January after its annual New Year’s Eve party.

    The post reads,

    “After 20 years of being the iconic gay bar of South London, we regret to inform you that we will be closing down this year.

    “We will hold our last “New Year’s Eve” party until 6 am as usual. But we would love you to join us for the last goodbye drinks of the 1st January until our normal closing time.

    “Thanks for your support all these years”

     

    Amy Lamé who was appointed by Sadiq Khan as London’s “night czar” revealed that a rent increase from £86,000 per year to £150,000  was the reason behind the decision to close the bar.

    THEGAYUK.com has been following the closure of LGBT bars in London since 2000. Since the turn of the century over 105 LGBT venues have closed.
