* Make your own fajita spice by combining 2 tablespoons chili powder or similar, 1 tablespoon smoked or sweet paprika, 1 tablespoon cumin, 1 tablespoon oregano, 1 tablespoon garlic powder/granulated garlic, 2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon coarse black pepper.

Police broke down the doors of a London art gallery to save a woman slumped unconscious over a table - only to discover she was made of packing tape and foam filler.

The lifeless woman they had been trying to save was in fact an art installation entitled 'Kristina' which is on display at the London gallery.

The work was commissioned by Steve Lazarides, Banksy's former agent and the dealer behind Laz Emporium.

Mr Lazarides said: "Hannah who was working in the gallery that day had just locked up and gone upstairs to make a cup of tea.

"She came down to find the door off its hinges and two confused police officers!"

London's Metropolitan Police were responding to a call about a "person in distress" at the gallery on the evening of 25 November.

"Officers forced entry to the address, where they uncovered that the person was in fact a mannequin," a police spokesperson told Artnet News.

The installation features a woman wearing trainers and a yellow hoody slumped face forward in a bowl of soup, her long blonde hair concealing her face.

The realistic sculpture is by American artist Mark Jenkins and is based on Mr Lazarides' sister.

This is apparently not the first time the installation, which sits in the gallery window, has caused trouble. In October, paramedics were called to assist the woman, Artnet News reported.

Muslim hotel owner nicknamed 'Goldfinger' rakes in £60,000 a month putting up migrants

Hotel owner nicknamed 'Goldfinger' rakes in £60,000 a month putting up migrants

• Abid Gulzar, 78, can house up to 100 migrants in his  Eastbourne country house 
• He is set to make over £700,000 of taxpayers' money a year housing migrants
• The huge cost to the public purse has sparked some controversy

A controversial hotelier dubbed 'Goldfinger' is raking in up to £60,000 a month housing migrants.  

Abid Gulzar has handed over his 45-room country house hotel near Eastbourne to accommodate up to 100 migrants. 

The Indian-born 78-year-old, who owns three gold Teslas and wears large gold rings, stands to make more than £700,000 of taxpayers' money a year housing migrants. And he says both his other hotels – the Mansion Lions and Albany Lions in Eastbourne – are also up for grabs if the Government wants them. 

The Home Office policy of housing migrants in hotels at huge cost to the public purse has caused fury.

Abid Gulzar, 78, can house up to 100 migrants in his Eastbourne country house. He is set to make over £700,000 of taxpayers' money a year housing migrants

In the last six weeks up to 100 migrants have been placed in Mr Gulzar's Boship Hotel. He said: 'The hotel trade is really suffering... what else are we supposed to do? No one is coming to stay any more.'

Mr Gulzar prompted controversy when he painted the traditional domes on Grade II*-listed Eastbourne pier in gold, earning himself the moniker Goldfinger. He also owns Hastings pier.

 In 2019 his businesses, Mansion Lions Hotel Ltd and Albany Lions Hotel Ltd, were fined £4,000 each for failing to pay tax contributions. And in 2013 he was fined £45,000, with £90,000 in costs, after being found guilty of damaging a protected conservation site in Pevensey.

He added: 'The Boships was closed for two years during Covid and now we have a recession. No-one has any money to spend. 

'I'd only recently reopened Boships and when the Government came knocking we had to refund some people who had bookings.' 

He said his staff had placed two single beds in each of the 45 rooms to accommodate two migrants per room. 

He said: 'They are mostly men but there are a few women who have travelled over from France. 

'We have to feed them three meals a day and look after them. I also have to heat the hotel though they have complained it isn't hot enough.' 

He said he was being paid around £15,000 a week to accommodate them but had no idea how long the contract might last.

And yet our brave soldiers are forced to sleep in accommodation that has no heating or is full of mould.

Yet we still have homeless veterans sleeping on our streets.

 Sydney woman MacKenzie Reynolds said she did not know how she could leave the area.

'The railways have been destroyed by protests, they've stolen parts of it, they've blocked parts with boulders,' she said.

'There's actually no roads that come in and out of this town.'

Got ayahuasca? Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers continues endorsing hallucinogenic tea, saying it helped him overcome his fear of DEATH, which he now sees as 'more of a passage and less of an ending'

• Aaron Rodgers previously admitted to using ayahuasca in both 2020 and 2021
• He said this week that the hallucinogenic tea helped him overcome his fears
• Specifically, the Packers QB said ayahuasca helped him beat his fear of death 

What Michael Jordan was to Gatorade Aaron Rodgers is to ayahuasca, the South American psychoactive brew used in shamanic spiritual medicine.

The reigning NFL MVP continued endorsing the hallucinogenic tea during a recent TV appearance saying that he no longer fears death after tripping on ayahuasca prior to the 2020 and 2021 seasons.

'I definitely had a fear of death,' Rodgers said. 'And ayahuasca, and psilocybin [mushrooms] actually, really helped me with that and relieved a lot of the stress around the idea of needing to accomplish things before I actually die.'

Rodgers said, tripping has helped him to 'see the other side,' making 'the idea of death more of a passage and less of an ending.'

Death, Rodgers explained, is 'more of just kind of the next chapter of life.'

Rodgers has admitted to using ayahuasca during the 2020 and 2022 offseasons.

'I did ayahuasca in 2020 and I won two MVPs,' Rodgers told Fox Sports in September. 'I don't believe that it's a coincidence. I don't really believe in coincidences.

'I believe in science and synchronicities, and I really feel like that what that allowed me to do is to have a greater love for the game that I play, greater love for my teammates and I had maybe my best season of my career in 2020 and then followed up last year with an even greater integration of a lot of those lessons.'

Ayahuasca is a South American psychoactive brew used in shamanic spiritual medicine

Americans currently need to travel to Central and South America for expensive retreats and religious experiences involving the potent brew.

WHAT IS AYAHUASCA? 

Ayahuasca is a hallucinogenic drink that is illegal in the US and UK but widely used by tribal societies in the Amazon basin.

Shamans consider ayahuasca a 'wisdom' plant that allows an entry into the spiritual world, and it was recognized as such by the government of Peru in 2008.

It can cause hallucinations that are similar to the effects of LSD or magic mushrooms. They last for two hours and are 'usually pleasurable' but can cause panic and horrifying flashbacks.

The negative emotional effects from taking ayahuasca can last for days, and make it especially dangerous for people with mental health problems.

It can also raise blood pressure and heart rate and may harm those with a pre-existing heart condition.

Rodgers previously revealed that he drank the hallucinogenic brew during a trip to Peru in 2020.

Ayahuasca is a brown-reddish drink made by boiling stems from its namesake vine and leaves from the chacruna shrub together (pictured)

Ayahuasca contains the compound N,N-Dymethyltriptamine (DMT), one of the world's most potent hallucinogens. 

The ayahuasca brew is made from boiling the Amazonian vine Banisteriopsis caapi, which contains the DMT, and the chacruna bush. 

The brew is typically administered by a shaman, who acts as a guide during the trip.

Despite its illegal status in the US, ayahuasca has garnered a high-profile following, including fans such as Miley Cyrus and Joe Rogan. 

Miley Cyrus said she 'loved' the drug and that it left her seeing snakes immediately, in an interview with magazine Rolling Stone in 2020.

Ayahuasca has long been used for spiritual purposes by the indigenous peoples of the Amazon basin, typically in religious rituals.
