Kind of symbolic, considering events.
The gateway has been reconstructed in oak, using Roman dovetail, lap and scarf joints. A tower above it was where soldiers and supplies were assembled.
The reconstruction was a historic moment, said Paul Pattison, English Heritage’s senior properties historian. “To be able to rebuild a structure as accurately as possible, and one that stands on the exact spot of the original at Richborough almost 2,000 years ago, is remarkable.
“The Roman invasion was a major milestone in our history. We know that Richborough witnessed over 360 years of Roman rule – from the very beginning to the bitter end – but standing atop this 8-metre-high gateway, looking out and imagining what the first Romans might have seen, is quite an experience.”
Among the treasures on display for the first time are a trader’s weight in the shape of Harpocrates, the god of silence – the only one of its kind in Britain – and statuettes of Roman deities that would have been presented as gifts in shrines

"We know the WHO is unaccountable, the Director General is appointed through an opaque undemocratic process & there's too much power for pharma companies"
Well done Danny Kruger MP for spelling these issues out
We can’t have massive UK policy decisions determined by one unelected man in Geneva

This is Henley-on-Thames train Station in Oxfordshire, England. The date? 1899 BD (Before Diversity).
Look at their elegance, their posture and pride in their presentation. The past truly is a foreign country, one I long to experience.

"A peep into a tunnel book from the 1830s. A series of carefully cut paper panels placed behind one another to create the illusion of depth and perspective. These were popular souvenirs in the 19th century."

Interesting article, using Canada as an example the author posits that many western nations will face infrastructural collapse within a few decades if mass immigration continues.
Given the deficit rate of 143.32%, and comparing that to the infrastructure level of 116.05%, we can see that the deficit is HIGHER than the supply itself. It is difficult to quantify this so I must use an analogy of some sort to lay it out.
I will use water as an example. Imagine in time cycle zero that you need 2 litres of water per day in order to survive (commonly known to be the case). By end of cycle 1, you would need 2 L but only have 1.83 L available on average. How will people get their needs met? No idea. As for end of cycle 2, you will still need 2 L of water but only 1.64 L will be available on average. If you continue the math, by the time you get to cycle 8, there is no water available. You are in negative water supply. By cycle 10, you need 2 L of water per day but you actually have none and also now owe 0.87 L of water per day. Essentially there is no water for you, unless you pay a massive price for it.

The Muslim call to prayer echoes around Coventry Cathedral this evening.
The organisers have deliberately targeted iconic historical British buildings & landmarks and Christian places of worship to host Iftars throughout Ramadan.
