The Magna Via in Calderdale, Yorkshire, which is an ancient sunken road or holloway.Also known as the Wakefield Gate, it served as the main medieval and early modern highway connecting Halifax to Wakefield.

Well, if it’s 6 October, it’s the 83rd anniversary of the day the world was deprived of Ignatius Trebitsch-Lincoln, who was born a Hungarian Jew, elected to the House of Commons, spied for Germany in both world wars, and eventually declared himself the 14th Dalai Lama

The Tories have had over two years to come up with a broad set of new policies and they've reverted to their same old mean spirited small minded ones they have had for decades. More austerity and the type of deregulation that led to Grenfell.

Marble that looks wet. This jaw-dropping detail comes from “The Nymph” (La Ninfa) by Italian sculptor Giovanni Battista Lombardi (1823–1880) where solid stone is carved to mimic water rippling around her bare feet.

As long as the Tories are threatening to leave the ECHR, they aren’t a serious party. Consider it the ultimate red flag. Any party who’d take this entirely unnecessary and ruinous risk with our rights and our country’s security and wellbeing should never get its hands on power. (Letter, Times)

Value of the
ECHR
Sir, In dangerous times, serious countries do not retreat into splendid isolation. They build alliances, multiply their influence and strengthen institutions. Key among those is the 46-member Council of Europe, at its heart the European Convention on Human Rights.

As former independent reviewers of terrorism legislation we have seen at close quarters that the ECHR is not just a human rights instrument. It is a national security asset. Terrorist networks, hostile states, organised crime gangs and people smugglers do not respect borders. Tackling them requires arrangements for the closest possible co-operation with our neighbours, including through joint investigations and police access to European passenger, fingerprint, DNA and vehicle data.

Callan's fingertips provide a sense of scale next to some white things in brown rock. One is shaped like a rod, another shows a U shape in cross section.
