I feel privileged to have entered the chamber of the mighty Gavrinis tomb last week. A 6,000-year-old Neolithic passage tomb on a tiny island in the Gulf of Morbihan, Brittany, it's interior walls are covered in swirling megalithic art. It Similar in some ways to Newgrange in Ireland ##TombTuesday

This. Don't let us get mugged off. The Brexiters got what they wanted (wrongly, the whole time, to everyone's detriment) by not being fobbed off and by being insistent and focussed on their demands. We Remainers compromise too generously and buy a platitude, a bluff or hollow offer too readily

The RNLI has said the abuse of volunteers in Portsmouth has forced it to close the lifeboat station there and stop operating since September 10. Nearby stations have been providing cover to the area instead. One of the UK's largest coastal cities without a lifeboat because of the far-right.

Tierra Walker died after she couldn’t get an abortion. Her family is suing Ken Paxton
The case, filed Tuesday, argues that Texas’ near-total abortion ban violates the state and U.S. Constitutions, which “prohibit state actors from killing their citizens.”

An angry mob of racists went knocking door-to-door in a hotel so that they could yell at and potentially violently attack teenage cricket players who they thought were refugees and the local police apparently concluded that this was totally fine.
« About 30 to 40 people congregated at the Marriot Hotel in Cosham, Portsmouth, on Tuesday evening after false rumours circulated that a coach carrying migrants had arrived.
Sumair Syed, chief operating officer of the Pakistan Cricket Board, said the team reported people "knocking on their doors" during the incident, but the players "behaved responsibly and didn't escalate the situation".
Hampshire Police said officers found no offences had been committed, and the crowd dispersed by about 21:00 BST.
The team went on to play a scheduled match the following day, Syed said. »
