Renée Good’s family are suing the U.S. Government and immigration officials for wrongful death and other violations of federal law. (via AP) Renée was fatally shot by ICE agent Jonathan Ross at the beginning of this year.

Mayor in south-western France bans local residents from getting sick
Yes, you read that right - a mayor in southwest France has issued an order “banning” people from getting sick in his town. The elected official said his "absurd" move was for a good cause.

Our eldest son's is particularly enjoying his lycee's protest, as he's got half a day off while they set fires and let off steam. Truth be told I'm pleased he's at home and safe. All 6 foot 2 and former rugby player-turned power golfer of him.

It's 1st October so with spooky season just around the corner we thought we'd share again this atmospheric and unique photo of the Undercroft. This is possibly the only known photo showing the space partitioned, and looking as it would have done when it was an alms house.
We are looking at a black and white photo of the Undercroft. It is a long room with an uneven cobbled floor and bare stone walls. In the distance is a three mullion window and to the side of it part of the oak screen to the chapel. On the right of the photo between the oak posts are timber framed walls and a set of stairs leading to an unseen doorway.

Xavier Becerra put the Steve Hilton contradiction right on the debate stage: enforce Trump’s federal immigration laws, but ignore California’s own protections? Then he dropped the hammer: “You seem to welcome immigrants who look like you, but deport immigrants who look like me.”

France can be a terribly racist country. It never lurks far from the surface. This guy is right, but while RN witters endlessly about the dangers of and threat from Islam, Jewish people, immigrants - like me - the LGBTQI community and anyone who isn't 'them' is foolish to think they're safe.
