Jim Butler looks at life in the Roman city of Ratae Corieltauvorum - or Leicester, as we know it today. Part 1 of this video, which deals with the establishment of the city, has already appeared on Liberal England.
Pakistan floods. A thousand, possibly thousands of lives ended. Homes and businesses destroyed. On the other side of the world, billions are being spent on trying to get back to the moon and onwards to Mars. But does the world, even among the rich nations, have enough money to pay "to boldly go" while countries flood, suffer drought and people starve? Isn't more important to give relief and tackle the real horror of our age, climate change? But if we lose the lose our sense of adventure, the desire to explore, the need to imagine, will we ever solve the ...
A beautiful church with round tower sat in trees with an intact Rood Screen, very tranquil setting that meant lingering for a while was not a chore. What was also nice to see the tree avenue that presumably led to an important house or the rectory. The rood screen was particularly nice, although the access to it would be tight.

Take a look at how Adam Russell choose to describe himself on the ballot paper.
As my colleague noted yesterday, Sanna Marin, the Prime Minister of Finland, has been in the news for having the audacity to be (relatively) young, and dance at parties. Alcohol may even have been partaken of! And I find myself wondering, since when did we start insisting that rather dull people represent us and why?
