Durham has to be one of the most underrated and photogenic locations in Europe. Living just ten minutes away, it is one of my favourite locations for both photography and filming. This is a collection of my favourites #visitengland #northeastengland #photographer #durham

The stone archway and wooden gates, with green tree foliage draped above and over the top of the archway provide a scenic viewpoint looking out toward the ancient ruins.
The Temple of Concordia is one of the best-preserved ancient Greek Doric temples in the world, built in the 5th century BC.
The Valley of the Temples (Valle dei Templi) is a large UNESCO World Heritage archaeological site featuring some of the best-preserved ancient Greek buildings outside of Greece.

A good and needed statement, and it's refreshing to hear a direct challenge to "the public." Often "the public" is treated as this innocent body that must be placated at all costs, but "the public" (usually meaning "white people" when invoked by politicians) need to repent too.

London Yearly Meeting, 1974 Quaker Faith and Practice 23.30

Can torture ever be justified? Once chattel slavery was considered an economic and social necessity; nevertheless it has now been abolished in most regions of the world. This has happened at least in part because of the revulsion which this offence to human dignity aroused. Should not torture arouse the same revulsion?

Torture is not just a sporadic occurrence in this country or that, but a moral contagion which has spread throughout the world, even to governments which have been proud of their record of civilised behaviour. Torture is not only systematic physical ill-treatment but may also involve the misuse of psychology and other sciences and technologies.

Is this evil one that will arouse us to action as our Society was once aroused by the evil of slavery?

Obviously there's nothing wrong with Polanski recording campaign videos mangling other languages, but as well as picking Urdu to target a Bengali-speaking part of the community, the video in French is... not adding much value.
