22 Artists contributed to Seven Collections for the Refugee Rights Day Art Exhibit in Toronto - April 2008.
The youth artists of this exhibit have been forced to leave their homes in Turkey, Pakistan, and Mexico. They have been in Canada from three months to five years. Most of them are still waiting for a final decision to know if they will be staying, if Canada will permit a “new beginning.”
Each of these emerging artists have grappled with a Personal Information Form or the difficult questions of an immigration officer, “But how can you prove to me that you are gay?” This process is especially vulnerable for queer youth refugee claimants. This exhibit is a way to give these youth a voice that is not solicited in an immigration office or on a Personal Information Form.

Akiba's story
Akiba was brought to IDA-Africa's Sanaga-Yong Chimpanzee Rescue Center in March 2004, when she was less than eight months old. She was dehydrated and so weak she could only hold her head up for a few seconds at a time. With loving care and nutrition, Akiba has blossomed. She lives in the nursery with eight other orphans and loves to swing on the trees and play chase. Akiba means “thank you” in one of the local Cameroon dialects.

Artist Patrick Mafoe contributed illustrations to the new Samoan Studies Instittue publication "Samoa Anamua (Ancient Samoa)". It's a coloring book for youngsters which also teaches them about how Samoans traditionally lived solely off nature, from which they were able to get everything they needed.
Yea it's the Manufacturers’ National Bank Building in Racine. The building is said here to have a "skeleton" from 1869, and to have undergone at least two major remodelings, including a façade (at the right) from 1919; and is said here to be from 1887. So I guess we can't easily figure out what year(s) this/these particular brick wall(s) is/are from.
The openness of the parking lot makes the building easy to see. Is that your 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT.

Small archictectural details which generally go unnoticed contribute to the "feel" of a building in ways which are disproportionate to their physical size. This is a "rustic" ventilator made out of slates, built into the walls of the servants' wing of The Plas, Llansteffan.

Water scarcity and conflict over freshwater resources have contributed to an “arc of instability” stretching from West Africa through the Maghreb and across the Mediterranean to the Middle East. Rural livelihoods are collapsing, displacing many, and violent extremist organizations like Boko Haram, Al Qaeda, and ISIS are gaining footholds in areas where governance is weak. As local communities demand better provisioning of water, insurgent groups, building on discontent, use water to finance their operations and as a weapon of war.

See the film The Curator Lifting Running Competition(2003) by Thierry Geoffroy/Colonel part of the Biennalist
The Curator Lifting Running Competition
23 April - 13 June 2004
Nikolaj, Copenhagen Contemporary Art Center, proudly presents the world premiere of Colonel’s film the curator lifting running competition.
Danish/French artist Colonel’s video from the Venice Biennale 2003 will be shown at Nikolaj’s Cinema. It presents the staging of a competition in which artists raced each other while carrying a curator on their backs. The prize was an admission ticket to the most prestigious party of the Biennale. During a major art event as the Venice Biennale, both artists and curators are subject to hidden rules and mechanisms which must be adhered to in order to obtain a good position in the hierarchy of the art world. With his energetic and humorous video Colonel focusses on these mechanisms and unveils a lobbyistic game which is not merely about creating exhibitions but also about preserving certain privileges.
On the plane:
It begins on the plane from Denmark where the art industry clique has booked the same flight. Colonel hands out flyers, already well underway with his campaign to recruit contestants for the competition.
New film concept:
Colonel uses people who simply happen to be there to film the situations which arise. In so doing they become both witnesses to and participants in the processes of uncovering the hidden mechanisms of the cultural event.
The press:
In Venice Colonel intensifies his endeavours and now involves the journalists so that they may help him spread the word about the upcoming event.
Participants for the competition:
In Venice Colonel goes on to invite artists as well as curators to be a part of the great race.
The party:
Colonel chases invitations to the most coveted parties in order to use them as the first prize of the curator lifting running competition.
The competititon:
During the competition the artist both symbolically and literally becomes the curator’s arms and legs.

About LA BIENNALE DI VENEZIA 2003
Theme:
Dreams and Conflicts. The Dictatorship of the Viewer.
Director:
Francesco Bonami
50. Venice Biennial
15 June - 2 November 2003
If the idea of the large international survey has always been conceived as a whole concept to be fragmented into the visions of the individuals artists, "Dreams and Conflicts" wants art from the autonomy of the different projects to seek in this complexity of ideas the unity that defines the language of contemporary art today.
In the contemporary society the viewers with their presence and absence controls the success of every exhibition and cultural enterprise; in "Dreams and Conflicts" they appear as one of the subjects that contribute to define the structure of the show, the artist, the curator, the viewer.
Along with the artist, the beholder is one of the poles that connecting produce the spark that activate the art work successfully in the social and cultural context.
The dream and the conflict, the total world opposed to its political and geographical fragmentation, the national aspirations in contrast with the international achievements are all elements that will contribute to the making of the Visual Arts Biennale.
"Dreams and Conflicts" will be an exhibition focused at the same time on art as a personal tool of a personal experience and conviviality. A show through which is possible to have access to the complexity of a world made by groups of individuals defined by multiple and diverse necessities. An exhibition constructed with multiple projects to test the strength of that ideal community where the creative process of the contemporary artist is active. Dreams and Conflicts will not be a show about political art but a reflection on the politics of art. The experience of the viewer facing the unique vision of the artist. Two contemporary subjects divided simply by a different gaze.
2003 Awards:
Golden Lion for the best work to Peter Fischli and David Weiss
Golden Lion for an artist under 35 years of age to Oliver Payne and Nick Relph
Prize for Young Italian Art to Avish Kheberhzadeh

The Postcard
A Norman Series postcard that was published by Shoesmith & Etheridge Ltd. of Hastings. The card was posted in Hastings using a 2½d. stamp on Friday the 3rd. July 1959. The postmark states:
'Express Good Wishes
by Greetings Telegrams'
The card was sent to:
W. & B. Dunlop,
41, Hyndland Road,
Glasgow,
Scotland.
The message on the divided back was as follows:
"Having quite a nice
holiday.
The weather has been
variable but is improving
now.
It is not as warm as I
would have liked it.
Hope you are feeling
better.
Love from
Lil Pollock."
Sounds like the weather was awful.
South American Success at Wimbledon
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, on the 3rd. July 1959, for the first time, a Wimbledon tennis champion came from South America.
Alex Olmedo, a United States citizen from Peru, won the men's singles title, beating Australia's Rod Laver 6–1, 6–3 and 6–4.
The next day, Maria Bueno of Brazil ended a 21-year streak of U.S. titles, defeating American Darlene Hard, 6–4, 6–3, to win the women's singles.
Julie Burchill
The day also marked the birth in Frenchay, Bristol of the British journalist Julie Burchill.
Beginning as a staff writer at the New Musical Express at the age of 17, she has since contributed to newspapers such as The Daily Telegraph, The Sunday Times and The Guardian.
Her writing, which was described by The Observer in 2002 as "outrageously outspoken" and "usually offensive," has been the subject of legal action.
Burchill is also a novelist, and her 2004 novel Sugar Rush was adapted for television.
-- Julie Burchill - The Early Years
Julie Burchill was educated at Brislington Comprehensive School in Bristol. Her father was a Communist union activist who worked in a distillery, and her mother had a job in a cardboard box factory.
In 2010, Burchill wrote of her parents:
"I don't care much for families. I adored
my mum and dad, but to be honest I don't
miss them much now they're dead."
Three years later she contradicted this when she said she couldn't return to Bristol, as every time she heard someone speaking with her parents' Bristol accent it would remind her how much she missed them.
Julie did not attend university, leaving the A-levels she had started a few weeks earlier in order to begin writing for the New Musical Express (NME).
-- Julie Burchill's Early Career
Julie began her writing career at the NME in 1976 at the age of 17 after responding (coincidentally with her future husband Tony Parsons) to an advert in that paper.
The ad was seeking "hip young gunslingers" to write about the then-emerging punk movement. She gained the job by submitting a "eulogy" of Patti Smith's Horses.
She later wrote that at the time she only liked black music, and said:
"When I actually heard a punk record,
I thought, 'Oh my Lord! This is not music,
this is just shouting'."
Indeed, she managed to decry the first self-released punk album in the UK, The Outsiders' Calling on Youth featuring Adrian Borland:
"Apple-cheeked Ade has a complexion
that would turn a Devon milkmaid green
with envy."
Fortunately for her, as she later said:
"Punk was over in two years. That was
the only damn good thing about it."
She left her position at the NME at the age of 20, and started freelancing in order to be able to write about other subjects, although she has never completely given up writing about pop music.
-- Julie Burchill in the 1980's
Julie's main employers after the NME were The Face and The Sunday Times, where she wrote about politics, pop, fashion and society. She was also their film critic from 1984 to 1986.
She admitted in 2008 to making up film reviews and having "skived" from screenings, and her ex-husband, Cosmo Landesman, has admitted to attending screenings on her behalf.
During the Falklands War in 1982, Burchill argued that the military dictatorship of General Galtieri represented a greater evil, and she wrote articles favourable to Margaret Thatcher.
Her sympathy for Thatcher helped in gaining a column for The Mail on Sunday, where in 1987 she went against the paper's usual political line by urging its readers to vote Labour.
Though she claims to like the Mail on Sunday, she said of journalists on the Daily Mail in 2008:
"Everybody knows that hacks are the biggest
bunch of adulterers, the most misbehaving
profession in the world – and you have people
writing for the Daily Mail writing as though they
are vicars ... moralising on single mothers and
whatnot."
-- Julie Burchill Into the 1990's
Burchill has spoken repeatedly and frankly of her relationship with drugs, writing that:
"I have put enough toot up my admittedly
sizeable snout to stun the entire Colombian
armed forces".
Julie also declared that:
"As one who suffered from chronic shyness
and a low boredom threshold ... I simply can't
imagine that I could have ever had any kind
of social life without cocaine, let alone have
reigned as Queen of the Groucho Club for a
good part of the '80's and '90's."
While Burchill has frequently drawn on her personal life for her writing, her personal life has been a subject of public comment, especially during this period, when "everything about her – her marriages, her debauchery, her children – seemed to be news."
In 1991, Burchill, Landesman and Toby Young established a short-lived magazine called Modern Review. It was launched under the slogan "Low culture for high brows."
The "Fax war" in 1993 between Burchill and author Camille Paglia, published in the Modern Review, gained much attention.
The magazine lasted until 1995, when Burchill and her colleagues fell out.
Julie met Charlotte Raven through the magazine, with whom she had a much publicised affair..
Julie said in an interview with Lynn Barber in 2004:
"I was only a lesbian for about
six weeks in 1995."
In a 2000 article she referred to:
"My very enjoyable six months
of lesbianism."
In 1995, Burchill wrote a column for The Times, titled "I'm a bitch, and I'm proud", in which she argued that women should reclaim the word 'bitch,' used as a slur. She wrote:
"It is the nature of these things that, in recent years,
the slighted have taken steps to repossess the slight;
thus, we have blacks who call each other 'nigger',
pansies who call each other 'queer' and upper-class
cretins who quite happily call each other 'Henry'."
In 1996, the actor, author, playwright and theatre director Steven Berkoff won a libel action against Burchill in respect of one of her articles, published in the Sunday Times newspaper, which included comments suggesting that he was "hideously ugly".
The judge ruled that Burchill's actions "held him to ridicule and contempt."
The late 1990's were a turbulent period for Burchill, as she has recalled:
"I got the heave-ho from my cushy billet at the Sunday
Express, where I later learned my nickname had been
"Caligula’s Horse" because my best friend – briefly the
editor – had appointed me.
For the first time in my brilliant career, no one wanted
to hire me. Somehow I limped into a column on the
doddering Punch – and then I got the boot from there,
too!
Surely I had reached the mythical rock bottom at last?"
-- Julie Burchill From 2000 to 2004
A user of cocaine, sharing in the activity in the company of Will Self among others, she was positive about her use in The Guardian in 2000 when defending actress Danniella Westbrook for Westbrook's loss of her nasal septum because of cocaine use.
Journalist Deborah Orr, who was then married to Self, was scathing in The Independent of Burchill and her article:
"She does not identify herself as a
cocaine addict, so she has no pity
for Ms Westbrook."
In revenge for Deborah's article, Burchill invented a supposedly long-standing crush on Will Self with the intention of upsetting Orr.
A letter in The Independent in June 2000 from the head waitress at the Groucho Club at the time, Deborah Bosley, caused a minor stir. Responding to an article by Yvonne Roberts, Bosley, at the time the partner of Richard Ingrams, a long standing critic of Burchill, stated that Burchill was merely "a fat bird in a blue mac sitting in the corner" when ensconced at the Groucho.
Burchill on Beckham (2001), a short book about David Beckham's life, career, and relationship with Victoria Beckham, attracted some of the worst notices since Jeffrey Archer's heyday.
One reviewer wrote:
"Burchill is to football writing what
Jimmy Hill is to feminist polemics."
According to Robert Winder in the New Statesman:
"The book fits in with Burchill's theme of praising
the working class; Burchill presents Beckham as
an anti-laddish symbol of old working-class values –
he reminds her of those proud men of her childhood,
'paragons of generosity, industry and chastity'."
Burchill's career was in trouble; she had been sacked by the revived Punch magazine. However she was appointed by Orr in 1998 to write a weekly column in the Guardian. Julie wrote for the Guardian for five years until 2003.
Burchill frequently thanked Deborah Orr for rescuing her. One of the pieces she wrote for The Guardian was in reaction to the murder of BBC TV presenter Jill Dando in 1999. She compared the shock of Dando's murder to finding a "tarantula in a punnet full of strawberries".
In 2002 she narrowly escaped prosecution for incitement to racial hatred following a Guardian column where she described Ireland as being synonymous with child molestation, Nazi-sympathising, and the oppression of women.
Burchill had expressed anti-Irish sentiment several times throughout her career, announcing in the London journal Time Out that:
"I hate the Irish, I think
they're appalling".
Julie supported the Iraq War, writing in The Guardian in 2003 that:
"I am in favour of a smaller war now
rather than a far worse war later."
She criticised those opposed to the war as "pro-Saddam apologists".
She justified her stance by stating that:
"This war is about freedom, justice – and oil.
Because Britain and the United States sell
weapons to Iraq, it is our responsibility to
redress our greed and ignorance by doing
the lion's share in getting rid of him".
Burchill left The Guardian acrimoniously, saying in an interview that they had offered her a sofa in lieu of a pay rise. She stated that she left the newspaper in protest at what she saw as its "vile anti-Semitism".
-- Julie Burchill From 2005 to 2009
Burchill was an early critic of the fashion for denigrating lower social classes as "chavs". In 2005, she presented the Sky One documentary In Defence of Chavs.
Julie commented in an interview for The Daily Telegraph at the time:
"Picking on people worse off than
you are isn't humour. It's pathetic,
it's cowardly and it's bullying."
She went on to say:
"It's all to do with self-loathing. ... The
middle classes can't bear to see people
having more fun, so they attack Chavs
for things like their cheap jewellery.
It's jealousy, because they secretly
know Chavs are better than them.
They're even better looking."
Following her departure from The Guardian, in early 2005 she moved to The Times, who were more willing to meet her demands, doubling her previous salary.
Shortly after starting her weekly column, she referred to George Galloway, but appeared to confuse him with former MP Ron Brown, reporting the misdeeds of Brown as those of Galloway:
"He incited Arabs to fight
British troops in Iraq."
She apologised in her column, although The Times paid damages thought to have been £50,000.
In 2006, The Times dropped her Saturday column, and arranged a more flexible arrangement with Burchill writing for the daily paper.
Later it emerged, during a Guardian interview published in 2008, that eventually she "was given the jolly old heave ho" by The Times, and paid off for the last year of her three-year contract, still receiving the £300,000 she would have earned if she had been obliged to provide copy.
Julie later described her columns for her abbreviated Times contract, which ended abruptly in 2007, thus:
"I was totally taking the piss. I didn't
spend much time on them and they
were such arrant crap."
In February 2006, she announced plans for a year's sabbatical from journalism, planning, among other things, to study theology. In June 2007, she announced that she would not be returning to journalism, but instead would concentrate on writing books and TV scripts and finally undertake a theology degree. However she returned to writing for The Guardian.
Burchill's co-written book with Chas Newkey-Burden, Not in My Name: A Compendium of Modern Hypocrisy, appeared in August 2008, and is dedicated "to Arik and Bibi" (Ariel Sharon and Benjamin Netanyahu).
According to Gerald Jacobs, writing for The Jewish Chronicle in 2008:
"This book does not merely stand
up for Israel, it jumps up and down,
cheers and waves its arms".
The newspaper described her as "Israel's staunchest supporter in the UK media". When asked if Israel has any flaws, she responded:
"Yes. They are much too tolerant of
their freaking neighbours, much too
reasonable".
She declared in 2005, after Ariel Sharon's withdrawal of Israeli settlers from the Gaza Strip, that:
"Israel is the only country I would
f**king die for. He's the enemy of
the Jews. Chucking his own people
off the Gaza; to me that's disgusting".
Besides writing occasional pieces for The Guardian, Julie wrote four articles for the centre-right politics and culture magazine Standpoint between July and October 2008.
-- Julie Burchill in the 2010's
At the end of June 2010 it was announced that Burchill would be writing exclusively for The Independent, contributing a weekly full-page column for the paper.
The connection lasted less than 18 months. Burchill wrote her last column for The Independent at the end of October 2011. Admitting that he had tried to recruit Burchill for The Sun in the 1980's, Roy Greenslade commented:
"My admittedly occasional reading of
her columns in recent years has left me
feeling that she realises her old schtick
is no longer working. She has run out
of steam – and sympathetic newspaper
editors".
Commenting on the Egyptian Revolution of 2011, Burchill wrote in The Independent:
"It would be wonderful to think that what replaces
Mubarak will be better. But here's the thing about
Middle Eastern regimes: they're all vile.
The ones that are 'friendly' are vile, and the ones
that hate us are vile.
Revolutions in the region have a habit of going
horribly wrong, and this may well have something
to do with the fact that Islam and democracy appear
to find it difficult to co-exist for long."
On the 13th. January 2013, Burchill wrote an article for The Observer defending Suzanne Moore after a reference by Moore to transsexuals had been greeted with a great deal of criticism.
In Burchill's view, it showed the "chutzpah" of transsexuals to have their "cock cut off and then plead special privileges as women".
There were a number of objections to her writing from members of the transgender community and non-transgender community alike. The editor of The Observer, John Mulholland, responded on the comments page to what he described as "many emails protesting about this piece" and stated that he would be looking into the issue.
Liberal Democrat MP Lynne Featherstone, formerly a junior Minister for Women and Equalities, called for the dismissal of Burchill and Mulholland in response to the piece. The article was withdrawn from the website the following day and replaced with a message from Mulholland, but reappeared on the Telegraph website.
On 18 January 2013, The Observer's Readers Editor Stephen Pritchard defended the decision to remove the article from the newspaper's website, quoting the editor who took that decision as saying:
"This clearly fell outside what we might consider
reasonable. The piece should not have been
published in that form. I don't want the Observer
to be conducting debates on those terms or with
that language. It was offensive, needlessly. We
made a misjudgment and we apologise for that".
Julie Burchill on Religion and Philo-Semitism
In her 1987 essay collection Damaged Gods: Cults and Heroes Reappraised, Burchill criticised what she called "the anti-Semitism of politicized American blacks" such as Jesse Jackson, who had referred to New York City as "Hymietown."
Burchill wrote:
"Imagine how the blacks would have gnashed
their diamond-studded teeth if a Jewish leader
had publicly referred to Harlem as 'Nigger-town'!".
In 1999, Burchill said she "found God", and had become a Lutheran and later a "self-confessed Christian Zionist".
In June 2007 Julie announced that she would undertake a theology degree, although she subsequently decided to do voluntary work instead as a way to learn more about Christianity.
In June 2009, The Jewish Chronicle reported that Burchill had become a Friend of Brighton and Hove Progressive Synagogue and was again considering a conversion to Judaism.
According to The JC, she had attended Shabbat services for a month, and was studying Hebrew. Julie described herself as an "ex-Christian", pointing out that she had been pondering on her conversion since the age of 25.
Burchill said that:
"At a time of rising and increasingly vicious anti-
Semitism from both left and right, becoming
Jewish especially appeals to me. ... Added to the
fact that I admire Israel so much, it does seem to
make sense – assuming of course that the Jews
will have me".
Julie wrote in November 2012:
"The things I love about the Jews are: their
religion, their language and their ancient
country".
Burchill however clashed with Rabbi Elli Tikvah Sarah of the Brighton and Hove Progressive Synagogue, and the Rabbi's lesbian partner, Jess Woods.
Among the reasons for their differences was Rabbi Sarah's defence of Muslims and her advocacy of the Palestinian cause. In Burchill's words, the rabbi "respects PIG ISLAM".
Rabbi Sarah told The Independent in September 2014:
"The problem is Burchill doesn’t have any
in-depth knowledge.
I can imagine her endlessly watching the film
Exodus with Paul Newman. She’s got a kind
of Hollywood view of Jews. You know, ‘Jews
are so clever, we’ve survived ...'."
In 2014, Burchill's crowdfunded book Unchosen: The Memoirs of a Philo-Semite was published. Tel Aviv-based writer Akin Ajayi in Haaretz thought:
"The reactionary solipsism of Unchosen
is far removed from the affectionate
warmness that a love of the Jewish people
can be".
Burchill's ex-husband, Cosmo Landesman, considered it to be:
"An exhilarating and exasperating mix
of the utterly brilliant and the totally
bonkers".
He observed that:
"There are plenty of Jews Julie doesn't love,
including the millions of Jews around the
world who have ever criticised Israel.
Her love is blind, deaf and dumb to such an
obvious contradiction".
Guardian columnist Hadley Freeman wrote:
"Burchill divides up the chosen people into
Good Jews (hardliners, Israelites) and Bad
Jews (liberal Jews) with the enthusiasm of
an anti-Semite. Hilariously, she sets herself
up as the Jewishness Police, railing against
Jews who are not Jewish enough".
In his review in The Independent, Keith Kahn-Harris described Unchosen as:
"Occasionally touching, sometimes bigoted
and sporadically hilarious, but it often
degenerates into EDL-style abuse that lacks
any redeeming wit."
In The Guardian Will Self wrote:
"I’m afraid I can’t really dignify her latest
offering with the ascription 'book', nor the
contents therein as 'writing' – rather they
are sophomoric, hammy effusions,
wrongheaded, rancorous, and pathetically
self-aggrandising."
-- Julie Burchill's Other Books and Television Programmes
Burchill has written novels and made television documentaries. Her lesbian-themed novel for teenagers Sugar Rush (2004) was adapted into a television drama series produced by Shine Limited for Channel 4. Lenora Crichlow's portrayal of the central character Maria Sweet inspired the 2007 sequel novel Sweet.
Burchill has made television documentaries about the death of her father from asbestosis in 2002 (BBC Four) and Heat magazine broadcast on Sky One in 2006.
-- Welcome to the Woke Trials
Welcome To The Woke Trials: How #Identity Killed Progressive Politics was planned to be issued by Tabatha Stirling of Stirling Publishing in the summer of 2021 after being dropped by its original publisher following Burchill's defamatory tweets to Ash Sarkar.
On the 14th. March 2021, when referencing her new publisher, Burchill announced that, with Stirling:
"I've found someone
who's JUST LIKE ME."
Stirling is alleged to have written a series of articles for Patriotic Alternative as "Miss Britannia", describing her son's school as "a hellhole for sensible, secure White boys" and claimed:
"There is one member of staff who is
openly gay, and I mean RuPaul extra
gay".
On the 16th. March 2021, Burchill announced that she would not publish her book with Stirling Publishing, the same day she issued a public apology for libel and harassment of Sarkar. The book was subsequently published by Academica Press.
-- Responses
Burchill has described her own style as the writing equivalent of screaming and throwing things. For her novel Sugar Rush her publicist described her as "Britain's most famous and controversial journalist".
One of her most consistent themes is the championing of the working class against the middle class, and she has been particularly vocal in defending 'chavs'. According to Will Self:
"Burchill's great talent as a journalist is
to beautifully articulate the inarticulate
sentiments and prejudices of her
readers".
For Michael Bywater:
"Burchill's insights were, and remain,
negligible, on the level of a toddler
having a tantrum".
John Arlidge wrote in The Observer in 2002:
"If Burchill is famous for anything it is
for being Julie Burchill, the brilliant,
unpredictable, outrageously outspoken
writer who has an iconoclastic, usually
offensive, view on everything."
In November 1980, former Sex Pistols front man John Lydon gave an interview to Ann Louise Bardach in which he referred to Burchill and Tony Parsons as:
"Toss-bag journalists, desperately
trying to get in on something."
Lydon was incensed by Burchill and Parsons attributing his talent to his alleged use of amphetamines.
In October 1999, in an article for The Guardian, Julie wrote:
"That young men succeed in suicide more
often than girls isn't really the point. Indeed,
the more callous among us would say that
it was quite nice for young men finally to
find something that they're better at than
girls".
After a previous occasion when Burchill wrote "suicides should be left to get on with it", she "received a small number of letters from people whose sons had killed themselves".
In 2002, her life was the subject of a one-woman West End play, Julie Burchill is Away, by Tim Fountain, with Burchill played by her friend Jackie Clune.
A sequel by Fountain, Julie Burchill: Absolute Cult, followed in 2014, with Lizzie Roper in the central role.
In 2003, Burchill was ranked number 85 in Channel 4's poll of 100 Worst Britons. The poll was inspired by the BBC series 100 Greatest Britons, though it was less serious in nature. The aim was to discover the "100 worst Britons we love to hate".
The poll specified that the nominees had to be British, alive and not currently in prison or pending trial. In 2005, on the 25th. anniversary of the murder of John Lennon, she told The Guardian:
"I don't remember where I was, but I was
really pleased he was dead, as he was a
wife-beater, gay-basher, anti-Semite and
all-round bully-boy."
In the essay "Born Again Cows" published in Damaged Gods (1987), she wrote:
"When the sex war is won, prostitutes
should be shot as collaborators for their
terrible betrayal of all women."
On the 6th. June 2021, and shortly after the announcement of the birth of Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor, the daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Burchill tweeted:
"What a missed opportunity. They could
have called it Georgina Floydina!”
This was a reference to George Floyd. Her comments were widely condemned, with racial equality activist Shola Mos-Shogbamimu stating:
"Lilibet is referred to as 'IT'. The utter
disrespect & dehumanisation of
#HarryandMeghan children because
of their proximity to ‘Blackness’ is
Racist."
Actress Kelechi Okafor wrote:
"Likening baby Lilibet to George Floyd
is to hone in on the fact she isn't fully
white...She refers to Lilbet as 'it' even
though it has been announced that the
baby is a girl and she could've addressed
her as such...Disgusting scenes."
On the 8th. June, via her Facebook account, Burchill announced that she had been sacked by The Daily Telegraph as a result of her online comments.
-- Libel
In 2020, Burchill posted a series of defamatory tweets of Ash Sarkar, which included claims that she condones paedophilia and is supportive of Islamist terrorism.
Burchill called on her Facebook followers to "wade in on Twitter" against "the Islamists" and the "nonces". As a result of the comments, her publisher, Little, Brown Book Group, cancelled the scheduled publication of Welcome to the Woke Trials, stating that her comments about Islam were “not defensible from a moral or intellectual standpoint”.
In March 2021, after being sued for libel and harassment, Burchill retracted her comments, issued a full apology and paid substantial damages to Sarkar, including her legal costs.
Burchill stated:
"I should not have sent these tweets,
some of which included racist and
misogynist comments regarding Ms
Sarkar's appearance and her sex life."
She further apologised for "liking" posts calling on Sarkar to kill herself, and promised to refrain from any further harassment of Sarkar.
-- Julie Burchill's Personal Life
Burchill married Tony Parsons (whom she met at NME) in 1979 at the age of 20. She left Parsons three years later, leaving behind a son, which was followed by years of rancour in the media, described in 2002 as "a steady stream of vitriol in both directions."
Julie had claimed to have persevered with the "sexual side" of their marriage "by pretending that my husband was my friend Peter York".
Her relationships, particularly with Parsons, have featured in her work; Parsons later wrote that:
"It's like having a stalker. I don't
understand her fascination with
someone whom she split up with
15 years ago."
Immediately after her relationship with Parsons, Burchill married Cosmo Landesman, with whom she also had a son. She split from Landesman in 1992. The sons from her marriages with Parsons and Landesman lived with their fathers after the separations.
She married for a third time in 2004, to Daniel Raven, around 13 years her junior, and the brother of her former lover Charlotte Raven. She wrote of the joys of having a "toyboy" in her Times column in 2010.
Fellow NME journalist/author Paul Wellings wrote about their friendship in his book I'm A Journalist...Get Me Out of Here:
"She has written about her lesbian relationships,
and declared that "I would never describe myself
as 'heterosexual', 'straight' or anything else.
Especially not 'bisexual' (it sounds like a sort of
communal vehicle missing a mudguard).
I like 'spontaneous' as a sexual description".
In 2009 Julie said that she was only attracted to girls in their 20's, and since she was now nearly 50:
"I really don't want to be an
old perv. So best leave it".
Julie has lived in Brighton and Hove since 1995, and a book on her adopted home town titled Made in Brighton (Virgin Books) was published in April 2007.
Her house in Hove was sold (and demolished for redevelopment as high-density flats) around 2005 for £1.5 million, of which she has given away £300,000, citing Andrew Carnegie:
"A man who dies rich, dies shamed."
Burchill's second son, Jack Landesman, died by suicide in June 2015, aged 29. In an article for The Sunday Times Magazine, Julie wrote of his inability over many years to experience pleasure and the serious mental health issues from which he suffered.

SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, Hawaii - Comedian Bernie McGrenahan presented his award-winning "Comedy is the Cure" routine to more than 1,070 Soldiers, civilians and contractors at Martinez Physical Fitness Center, here, Sept. 26. Though the performance counted towards mandatory training requirements, unlike typical training sessions filled with PowerPoint slides and statistics, McGrenahan shares his own experiences with drugs and alcohol, losing a sibling to suicide and overcoming addiction with a comedy twist.
Concluding the comedy show, McGrenahan met with audience members and signed copies of a book he contributed to, "I Killed: True Stories of the Road from America's Top Comics" and comedy CDs.
McGrenahan tours across the United States talking to service members on military installations and students attending college. To learn more about McGrenahan's military tours, visit www.comedyisthecure.com ( www.comedyisthecure.com ) .
Being a Saturday, first job of the day, after coffee, was hunter-gathering in Tesco.
Was not surprised to find half an aisle already full of Easter eggs and stuff.
Elsewhere there was lots of Valentine's Day cards and more stuff to spend your money on.
Back home for a quick breakfast, before going out again and heading north for Thanet.
On the north coast there are two large churches that I wanted to revisit: St Nicholas at Wade and All Saints in Birchington.
Thanks to the Sandwich Road and Thanet Way round Ramsgate, we got to Birchington at half nine, but found the church did not open until ten, so we went in search of the sea.
Though the sea was not lost.
Through a large 1950s housing estate, there it was.
There are three of us, trying to photograph Kent churches . I met one a few years back on Heritage Weekend, and there is Rob, an online friend who is trying to record all churches, irrespective of denomination, in the county.
And so, thanks to Rob and his love for Victorian and 20th century churches, I got to know some newer churches, maybe once chapels of ease, but some now parish churches in their own right.
Minnis Bay is one, set among mid-war development, a 1920s construction, bankrolled by the local Freemason's lodge, St Thomas sits on the main road, opposite a micropub and convenience store.
I got out to take a shot of the front and side, then a car pulled up: do you want to see inside, I'll only be here ten minutes, the warden told me.
Win!
So, I grabbed the big camera and got busy, though in truth not much other than the building itself, but it was pleasant enough. Though there are rumours that it might be closing.
Grenham Bay, Birchington, Kent.
Bleak.
Bleak and bracing.
Bleak, bracing and quiet.
At low tide.
This morning, we found ourselves here, and having parked, we found low chalk cliffs, concrete flood defences and lots of sea birds and fowl feeding among the chalk rockpools at low ride.
We didn't stay long, long enough to get some shots, before moving on.
Here, Jools walks down the concrete ramp to the "promenade, wide enough to run a grand prix, just the occasional jogger or dog walker were the only others around.
Back in the car at ten for the short drive through the town centre, parking outside the village hall, and walking through the large churchyard where the porch door was open.
All Saints is open between ten and midday each Sunday, and inside there were at least four wardens, each of whom gave us a warm welcome.
A heavily restored church, but the jewel is the Quex Chapel, for the Crispe family that owns, or used to own, Quex Park nearby.
Wall full of tablets, memorials and tombs.
The next parish southwards is St Nicholas at Wade, now better known as a roundabout on Thanet way where the driver can turn either for Ramsgate or Margate. There is also a village, named after the parish and the parish church, which towers over the narrow streets of the village, that we had to weave through to reach the church.
At the west end of the village, around the church, are some wonderfully old buildings, whose brickies had a novel attitude to laying, with bricks at all angles.
The church is entered through a double-decked porch, something more seen in East Anglia, and the priest would live in a small room above the entrance, and accessed by what must be the oldest set of steps in Kent, if not England.
It took half an hour to get all the shots, but having done so we went back outside to head home.
Instead of turning round and going through the village, shall we go straight on and see where that takes us?
An adventure?
So we did.
Where it did take us was along some fields and over a bridge spanning Thanet Way, where there was a junction to head east back towards Ramsgate and home.
So, that was easy.
And back in time for a brew before lunch, and bacon butties too as we were both hungry, and I could sit beside Scully watching the Coventry v Leicester game, which Cov won 3-1.
Most of the afternoon was a battle to stay awake whilst listening to the radio. Jools went to the gym to have a sauna, so came back full of beans.
Dinner was Caprese with warmed through focaccia drizzled with chilli-infused olive oil to crisp it up.
It all went well with the remainder of the bottle of wine, but having emptied that, I needed just a little something more, so went for the barrel aged Delerium.
It poured a reddy-brown colour, had a full nose of fruits and spices, and was a flavour explosion on the tongue. At 11.5%, not to be messed about with, but glorious.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Famous as the burial place of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and whose grave stands outside the main south door, this church contains so much more of interest. Mostly thirteenth century with a fourteenth century veneer it is full of treasures. The best collection of memorials in East Kent may be found in the north chapel owned for centuries by the series of owners of Quex House. The Quex, Crispe, Powell and Powell-Cotton families have been commemorated in monuments that reflect the styles oil the centuries. There are 6 brasses now on the wall, a huge 6-portrait bust tablet and a huge classical entablature. Opposite is a more usual but excellently crafted Prie- Dieu with gaudy colouring. The rest of the church does not disappoint. The SW corner of the church has dumpy piers and rudimentary vaulting showing that a new tower was planned there, though it was never built. The nave piers and chancel arch show remarkable degradation in the stonework. There seems to be no reason for this but it is almost that the church has been consumed by fire at some time. The reredos was designed by the 19th century architect Charles Beazley (see also Acol and Westgate) and painted by Nathaniel Westlake. It badly needs a clean to make it sing again. The altar rails are by the Canterbury College of Art, 1930s, and a really a fine period piece. What an interesting church this is – built to serve a farming village with a big house and later adapted to suit the holidaymakers who came here by the thousand. What a shame that it is difficult of access (though the helpful Church Office is happy to oblige).
www.kentchurches.info/church.asp?p=Birchington
------------------------------------------------------
NORTHWARD from Minster lies the parish of Birchington, adjoining to the sea. It is said to have been antiently called, sometimes Birchington in Gorend, and at other times Gorend in Birchington, from a place called Gorend, in this parish, where it is reported the church formerly stood, though the most usual name was always, as it is at present, Birchington only.
THIS PARISH is within the liberty and jurisdiction of the cinque ports, and is a member of the town and port of Dover; and though Gorend in it, is said to have been united to that town and port, ever since the reign of king Edward I. yet in king Henry VI.'s reign it was disputed whether this parish was not in the county at large; to take away therefore all doubt of it, the king, by letters patent, united it to Dover, the mayor of which appoints a deputy here, to whom the inhabitants have recourse for justice.
By the Landtax act of 1711, it was enacted, that in future, the parishes of St. John, St. Peter, and Birchington, in the Isle of Thanet, within the liberty of Dover, should be deemed and taken to be a distinct division within the said liberty, and in the executing of that act, should be charged towards making up the whole sum charged on the town of Dover, and the liberty thereof, according to the proportion which was assessed upon the said parishes by the act of the 4th of William and Mary, for granting an aid of four shillings in the pound, &c.
THIS PARISH joins the sea shore northward, along the whole of which it is bounded by high cliffs of chalk, through which there are several apertures made for the conveniency of a passage on to the sea shore. The parish is, in general, high land, and very pleasantly situated; in the middle of it stands the church and village adjoining, tolerably well sheltered with elm trees. This village, in a pleasing situation, on a gentle eminence, commands many delightful prospects over sea and land; particularly a fine view up the delightful vale to Canterbury, the principal tower of which cathedral froms a conspicuous object, though at the distance of twelve miles; beyond which, in clear weather, are plainly seen the range of hills and the losty woods in Chilham and Godmersham parks, more than six miles further southward.
About three quarters of a mile north-west of the church, and near as much from the sea shore, is Goreend, antiently a place of note, being particularly men tioned in the great charter of the cinque ports, as one of the members of the town and port of Dover. Leland, in his Itinerary, vol. vii. says, "Reculver is now scarce half a mile from the shore, but it is to be supposid, that yn tymes paste these cam hard to Goreende, a two mile from Northmouth, and at Gore ende is a litle straite caullid Broode Staires to go downe the clive: and about this shore is good taking of mullettes. The great Raguseis ly for defence at Gore ende and thens again is another sinus on to the Forelande." Here it is said the church stood antiently, and that it was lost by the falling of the cliff on which it stood, and that the present one was built in its stead; near this is a farm, called Upper Gore end, which was given by the owner of it, Henry Robinson, gent. by his will in 1642, for the maintenance of two fellows and two scholars in St. John's college, in Cambridge, as has been already related before. About a mile southward, lie Great and Little Brooksend; and at a like distance eastward, Great and Little Quekes. At the north-east boundary of the parish is Westgate, where there is a small hamlet of houses; from which place Domneva's deer is said to have begun its course across this island, running for some space eastward, till it turned southward towards the boundary of it, at Sheriffs Hope, in Minster.
This parish is somewhat more than two miles and an half each way; about the village and Quekes, it is pleasantly sheltered with trees; the lands in it are fertile, and like the other parts adjoining to it, are arable and mostly uninclosed, lying high, with hill and dale intermixed. The high road from Sarre to Margate runs along the southern side of the parish. There is a bay of the sea adjoining to the shore of this parish, called Hemmings bay; probably so called from Hemming, the Danish chiestan, who landed with his companion Anlef and their forces in this island, in the year 1009.
By the return made to the council's letter by archbishop Parker's order in 1563, there were then computed to be in this parish forty housholds; and by the return of the survey made by order of the same queen, in her 8th year, of the several maritime places in this county, it appears that there were then here houses inhabited forty-two; that there was a landing place, but it had neither ship nor boat.
A whale was cast ashore within the bounds of this parish in the year 1762.
The manor of Monkton claims paramount over this parish, subordinate to which is
THE MANOR OF QUEKES, or QUEX, as it is frequently spelt in the antient deeds of it. It is situated in the south-east part of this parish, about three quarters of a mile from the church, and was antiently the seat of a family who gave name to it, many of whom lie buried in this church, several of whose gravestones and inscriptions yet remain; among which are those of John Quek, who died possessed of it in the year 1449, anno 28 Henry VI. and of his son Rich. Quek in 1456; (fn. 1) from the latter of whom this seat devolved by paternal descent to John Quekes, esq. who about the beginning of king Henry VII.'s reign, left an only daughter and heir Agnes, who carried it in marriage to John Crispe, esq. descended of an antient family seated at Stanlake, in Oxforshire; he afterwards resided here, and died possessed of it in 1500, anno 16 Henry VII. He left by her four daughters, married to Barret, Gosborne, Thomas, and Symons; and one sone and heir John Crispe, who was sheriff in the 10th year of king Henry VIII. and kept his shrievalty at this seat of Quekes. He had three sons, John, the eldest, was of Cleve-court, in Monkton, of whom further mention has been made in the description of that place; Henry, the second, was of Quekes; and William, the third, was lieutenant of Dover castle.
Henry Crispe, esq. the second son, of Quekes, kept his shrievalty at this seat in the 38th year of the above reign, anno 1546, being the last of it, and was a man of great name and eminency, and of singular estimation for his discretion and weight in the management of the public affairs of the county, as well as for his hospitality, insomuch that he was reputed to have the entire rule of all this island. He died at Quekes, at a good old age, in the year 1575, leaving by his second wife six children; of whom Nicholas Crispe, esq. the eldest son, was of Grimgill, in Whitstaple. He was sheriff in the 1st year of queen Elizabeth, and died here in his father's life time, anno 1564, leaving an only daughter Dorothy. John, the second son, by his second wife Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Roper, esq. of Eltham, left a son Henry, heir to his grandfather, who will be further mentioned hereafter; and Henry, the youngest, had three sons, Henry, who was first of Great Chart, and afterwards succeeded to this seat of Quekes, of whom further mention will be made; Thomas, who was first of Canterbury and afterwards of Goudhurst, where he died in 1663. He left three sons, Thomas, who at length succeeded to Quekes, as will be mentioned hereafter; Henry, who was of Monkton, and died in 1678, being ancestor of Henry and Thomas Crispe, esqrs. of the custom-house, in London, and of West Ham, in Essex, the latter of whom ended in an only surviving daughter Susan, who married the late George Elliot, esq. of Upton, in that county; and Richard, the third son, died s. p.
Now to return to Henry, the only son and heir of John, the second son of Sir Henry Crispe, of Quekes, by his second wife, who became his grandfather's heir and possessed of Quekes; he was knighted and resided here till his death in 1648. He was twice married, but left no issue; he bore for his arms two coats for Crispe, viz. first, Ermine, a fess chequy; and second, Or, on a chevron, sable, five horse shoes, argent. (fn. 2) On his death in 1648, this seat came, by the entail of it, to his first-cousin Henry Crispe, gent. of Great Chart, before-mentioned, (the eldest son of Henry, the fourth and youngest brother of Nicholas Crispe, of Grimgill, the father of Sir Henry Crispe, last-mentioned.) He removed to Quekes, and in the year 1650 was appointed sheriff; but on account of his great age and infirmities, his son was suffered to execute this office in his room. He was commonly called Bonjour Crispe. from his having been kept a prisoner in France for some time, and never learning more French than those words, at least he never would use any other whilst there. In August 1657, he was forcibly, in the night time, taken away and carried from his seat of Quekes, by several persons, Englishmen and others, to Bruges, in Flanders, and detained there as a prisoner, till the sum of 3000l. should be paid for his ransom. A few days after his arrival at Bruges, he sent to his nephew Thomas, who then lived near Quekes, to come over to him, to assist him in his great exigencies and extremities. After some consultation together, he dispatched his nephew to England, to join his endeavours, with those of his son Sir Nicholas Crispe, for his ransom and enlargment, in which they found great difficulty, as Oliver Cromwell, who was then protector, suspected the whole to be only a collusion, to procure 3000l. for the use of king Charles II. then beyond the seas; and accordingly an order was made by the protector in council, that Mr. Crispe should not be ransomed; upon which much difficulty arose in procuring a licence for it; Sir Nicholas died before it could be effected, and then the whole care of it devolved on Mr. Thomas Crispe, to obtain the licence and raise the money, which finding himself not able to do without the sale of some of his uncle's lands, he impowered him and his son-in law, Robert Darell, for that purpose, who made every dispatch in it; but it was eight months before the ransom could be paid, and Mr. Crispe released out of prison; when he returned to England, and died at Quekes, in 1663. (fn. 3)
This enterprize was contrived and executed by Captain Golding, of Ramsgate, who was a sanguine royalist, and had sometime taken refuge with Charles II. in France. The party landed at Gore-end, near Birchington, and took Mr. Crispe out of his bed, without any resistance; though it appears that he had been for some time under apprehensions of such an attack, and had caused loopholes, for the discharge of muskets, to be made in different parts of the house, and had afforded a generous hospitality to such of his neighbours as would lodge in his house, to defend him; but all these precautions were at this time of no effect, so that they conveyed him, without any disturbance being made, in his own coach, to the sea side, where he was forced into an open boat, without one of his domestics being suffered to attend him, although that was earnestly requested as a favour. He was conveyed first to Ostend, and then to Bruges, both which places were then in the power of Spain, which had been at war with England for more than two years. (fn. 4) He died possessed of this seat above-mentioned, having had one son and one daughter, who married Robt. Darell, esq Nicholas the son was knighted, but died before his father at Quekes, in 1657, leaving an only daughter and heir, who married Sir Richard Powle, of Berkshire.
On Mr. Crispe's death in 1663, without surviving male issue, this seat came, by the entail made of it, to his nephew Thomas Crispe, (the eldest son of his next brother Thomas Crispe, of Goudhurst) who afterwards resided at Quekes, where he died in 1680, leaving by his wife, whom he married in Holland, four daughters his coheirs, viz. Maria Adriana, married to Richard Breton, esq. of the Elmes, in Hougham; Frantosi, or Frances, to Edwin Wiat, esq. of Maidstone, sergeant at law; Elizabeth, to Christopher Clapham, esq. of Wakefield, in Yorkshire, and Anne-Gertruy Crispe, who died unmarried in 1708. On the division of their inheritance, this seat fell to the lot of Richard Breton, esq. who immediately afterwards sold it to Edwin Wiat, esq. and he alienated it, after some little interval, to John Buller, esq. of Morvall, in Cornwall, whose son William dying s. p. the reversion of it, (after the death of his wife, who was entitled to it for life, as part of her jointure) (fn. 5) was sold to Sir Robert Furnese, bart. of Waldershare, but he never came into the possession of it; for Mr. Buller's widow, afterwards the widow of F. Wiat, esq. son of Edwin above-mentioned, enjoyed it till her death in 1760, when it came into the possession of Catherine, countess of Guildford, one of the three daughters and coheirs of Sir Robert Furnese, bart. who in 1767 sold it to Henry Fox, lord Holland, and he conveyed it to his second son, the hon. CharlesJames Fox, who passed away his interest in it to John Powel, esq. who dying s. p. his sister, then the wife of William Roberts, became his heir and entitled to this estate, and he is now in her right possessed of it. At this house king William used to reside till the winds favoured his embarking for Holland. A room said to be the bedchamber of the royal guest is still shewn. His guards encamped on an adjoining inclosure.
It has been a large commodious structure, built partly of timber and partly of brick, much of which has been within these few years pulled down, and the rest modernized and converted into a farm house. It is pleasantly situated among a toll of trees, which defend it from the winds. There was formerly a vineyard in the gardens, which are walled round.
This antient seat, like most others of the same rank, has been for some years going fast to ruin, the weather penetrated into most of the apartments, which had been the principal ones; the roof and windows were greatly demolished, and no part of it inhabited, or indeed capable of being so, except a small part at the end occupied by the farmer; a grand suit of apartments at the north-west corner was demolished in 1781, and much of the remaining parts of it were taken down by piecemeal at different times, for the sale of the materials; in which ruinated state this seat remained till the year 1789, when Mr. Powell took down great part of it, and rebuilt the rest as it remains at present. (fn. 6)
THE MANOR OF WESTGATE, alias GARLING, lies at the eastern part of this parish, extending likewise into the parish of St. John. It had antiently owners of its own name, for it appears by the book of knight's fees in the exchequer, and other records, that Robert de Westgate held it in the reigns of king Henry III. and Edward I. of the abbot of St. Augustine's, by knight's service. He left at his death his son Robert, under age, who afterwards was in the custody of Sir Henry de Sandwich, and he held it accordingly as such in the latter of those reigns. It went into the family of Leyborne very soon after this, for William de Leyborne died possessed of it in the 3d year of Edward II. leaving Juliana his grand-daughter his heir, (daughter of his son Thomas, who died in his life-time) who being heir both to her father and grandfather, became entitled to large possessions in this and several other counties, for the greatness of which she was usually stiled the Infanta of Kent, who having issue by neither of her husbands, (for she had three) whom she survived, this manor escheated to the crown for want of heirs; for it appears by the inquisition taken after her death, in the 43d year of king Edward III. that there was then no one who could make claim to her estates, either by direct or even collateral alliance. After which this manor continued in the crown, till king Richard II. in his 11th year, gave it to the priory of Canons,alias Chiltern Langley in Hertfordshire, where it continued till the dissolution of that house in the 30th year of Henry VIII. when it was, with all its possessions, surrendered into the king's hands, and was confirmed to him and his heirs, by the general words of the act, passed the next year for that purpose.
King Henry VIII. becoming thus possessed of it, granted this manor, with all itsrights, members, and appurtenances, among several other premises, for divers good causes and considerations, to Richard, suffragan bishop of Dover, to hold to him and assigns, during his life, without any account of rent whatsoever; provided, if he should be promoted to one or more ecclesiastical benefices, or other dignity or annuity, of the yearly value of 100l. that then this grant should be void. This certainly happened before the 36th year of that reign, for the king that year granted this manor to Sir Thomas Moyle, to hold in capite by knight's service; he alienated it in the first year of Edward VI. to Roger and Valentine Byer, alias Bere, (fn. 7) to the use of the former, who died possessed of it in the 4th and 5th year of Philip and Mary, and was succeeded in it by John Byer, his son and heir, and he conveyed it, anno 3 Elizabeth, to Thomas Adam, who in the 17th year of that reign, alienated it to Thomas Dane, of Herne, whose daughter and heir Thomasine marrying Robert Denne, esq. of Denne-hill, entitled him to the possession of this manor. His eldest son Thomas Denne, esq. who was recorder of Canterbury, died in 1656, and was succeeded in it by his eldest son Thomas, of GraysInn, esq. who dying s. p. devised it by will to his brother John, of the Inner Temple, esq. who dying likewise s. p. gave it by will to his four maiden sisters; the eldest of whom, Thomasine, on the share of the inheritance left them by their brother, became entitled to it, and afterwards marrying Sir Nicholas Crispe, of Quekes, he became in her right possessed of it, and died in 1657, leaving an only daughter Anne, who carried it in marriage in 1673 to Sir Richard Powle, K. B. of Berkshire, whose son John Powle, esq. of Lincoln's Inn, dying in 1740, s. p. this manor, among other estates, by the entail of it, reverted to the right heirs of his mother Anne Crispe, in the person of Tho. Crispe, esq. of West-Ham, in Essex, (descended from Tho. Crispe, of Goudhurst, the next brother of Henry, the father of Sir Nicholas Crispe, above mentioned) whose sole daughter and heir Anne married Sir Rich. Powle, K. B. the father of John, who died s.p. in 1740, as above mentioned.) He left an only surviving daughter and heir Susan, who married in 1757, the late Geo. Elliot, esq. of Upton, in Essex, who possessed it in her right, and in 1764 alienated it to Mr. John Wotton, of this island, as he did again to Mr. James Taddy, gent. of St. John's, whose surviving sons and devisees James and Edward Taddy, became entitled to it, but the latter is since become the sole possessor of it.
BROOKSEND, antiently spelt Brookesende, is a manor situated about a mile south-west from the church of Birchington; it was part of the antient possessions of the priory of Christ-church; and in the 10th year of king Edward II. the prior obtained a grant of free warren for his demesne lands in this manor among others, after this it continued with the priory till the final suppression of it in the 31st year of Henry VIII. when this manor, among the other possessions of it, came into the king's hands, where it did not continue long, for he settled it, among other premises, in his 33d year, on his new-erected dean and chapter of Canterbury, part of whose inheritance it still continues. There is not any court held for this manor.
The manerial rights the dean and chapter reserve in their own hands; but the scite and demesne lands are demised on a beneficial lease, the present lessee being Mr. John Friend, junior, who is the present occupier of it.
THE MANOR OF BROADGATE, otherwise called Brockmans, lies within the bounds of this parish, and extends likewise into Monkton; it was part of the possessions of Henry Beaufort, duke of Somerset, and on his attainder in the 8th year of king Edward IV. came to the crown, whence it was granted to John Brockman, esq. of Witham, in Essex, to hold by the same tenure and services as it was held in the 1st year of his reign, and he died possessed of it in the 16th year of king Henry VII. anno 1500, as was found by the inquisition then taken. (fn. 8)
Charities
TEN ACRES AND ONE HALF OF LAND, were given for the repairs of the church here, or perhaps purchased with the several legacies left to the church fabric, of which one acre is let by the churchwardens to a poor man employed by them, to keep the boys orderly at church; the residue is let out, and the rents applied to the use of the church.
ANNA-GERTRUY CRISPE, fourth daughter and coheir of Thomas Crispe, esq. of Quekes, by her will in 1707, devised to the overseers of the poor of Birchington and ville of Achole, for ever, 47 acres of land in Birchington and Monkton, then in lease at 18l. per annum, in trust, to pay to the clerk of the parish yearly 20s. to keep clean the isle and monuments belonging to Quex; to three widows of Birchington 3l. to two widows of Achole 2l. for wearing apparel to appear at church; to keep at school with dame or master, 12 boys and girls, and to give to each, at leaving the school, a bible; the overseers to take yearly ten shillings; to dispose of the remaining money for binding a school-boy apprentice; that the overseers fix up a yearly account of receipts and payments, and pass the same before a justice of the peace. (fn. 9)
THIS PARISH is within the ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION of the diocese of Canterbury, and deanry of Westbere.
The church, which is exempted from the archdeacon, and dedicated to All Saints, is a handsome building, situated on a rising ground; it consists of a nave and two isles, reaching but half the length of it, and what is remarkable, they are all spanned by a single roof; beyond these are three chancels. That on the north side of it belongs to the antient seat of Quekes, in this parish, and is repaired by the owners of it; in it are many fine antient monuments and memorials of the families of Quekes and Crispe, &c. The south chancel is made into a handsome vestry, and just by stands the steeple, which is a tower, on which is placed a spire covered with shingles, of great use to ships at sea as a land-mark. There are five bells in it. In the windows of the church are some few remains of painted glass, just sufficient to shew that there was much more formerly. Before the reformation, there were here beside the high altar, altars and images with lights before them, for the blessed Virgin Mary, St. Nicholas, the Holy Trinity, St. Anne, and St. Margaret; to each of which legacies of a few pence and sometimes shillings, were almost constantly devised by the parishioners; as appears by their wills, remaining in the Prerogative-office, Canterbury.
Among other memorials in this church, in the high chancel, is a stone with a brass plate, having on it, the effigies of a priest in his habit, and an inscription for master John Heynes, clerk, late vicar of Monkton, obt. 1523. In the vestry, on a brass plate, an inscription for Mrs. Margaret Crispe, late wife of Mr. John Crispe, the youngest daughter and heir of George Rotherham, esq. obt. 1508. In the Quekes, formerly called St. Mary's chancel, are many gravestones, with brass plates and monuments well preserved, for the family of Crispe, of Quekes, with their busts, several of which, as well as the ornaments, are of excellent sculpture, from the year 1508 to 1737. A very handsome mural monument and inscription for dame Anne Powel, only daughter and heir of Sir Nicholas Crispe, of Quex, and relict of Sir Richard Powel, K. B. obt. 1707, leaving only one son John Powel, esq. of Lincoln'sInn, who died unmarried 1740, and lies here interred. By her death, all his mother's estates in Kent pursuant to her deeds of settlement, descended to Henry and Thomas Crispe, esqrs. of the custom-house, London, the only surviving branch in the male line of this antient name and family. A memorial for Wm. Buller, esq. of Quekes, ob. 1708; arms, Sable, on a cross, argent, four eagles displayed of the field, a crescent for difference; impaling sable, a chevron between three pelicans, or. John Blechenden, gent. of Birchington, appears, by his will, anno 1580, to lie buried in the nether end and north side of the chancel, where Sir Henry Crispe was buried. There are engravings of three of the monuments of the Crispe's in Lewis's History of Thanet.—On an antient tomb in this chancel, lie the effigies of a man and woman; on the sides and end of it are the arms of Crispe singly, and those of Scott, three catherine wheels in a bordure, engrailed, and Crispe, impaling the same several times. In the middle isle, a memorial for Capt. George Friend, of this parish, obt 1721; and several others for the same family. A memorial, shewing, that in a vault underneath, lie several of the Neames, of Gore-end, and Mockett, of Dandelion. One for Samuel Brooke, esq. obt. 1774. Several memorials for the Kerbys, of Southend, and Brooksend; Austens, and of Gore. A memorial for Thomas Underdown, late of Fordwich, and thrice mayor of that corporation; he died 1709. A stone, on which is a brass, with a priest in his habit, the inscription gone, but in small circular brasses at each corner are his initials, I. F. conjoined in the manner of a cypher.
In the church yard, on the north side, there stood formerly a small house, called the Wax-house, where they used to fabricate the lights for the church processions, &c. In the time of the sequestration of this vicarage, about the year 1642, or rather the resignation of it by Dr. Casaubon, on the ordinance against pluralities, this church was left by the vicar, to any one who would officiate in it, and this house was fitted up at the parishioners charge, or perhaps at the expence of the family of Crispe, who were defirous of a conformist's officiating here, for the minister to live in. Accordingly Mr. Edmund Fellows, A. M. of Sandwich, officiated here as minister from 1657 till after 1660; but in a late vicar's time, this house was, by his order, pulled down, and the materials carried away.
This church was one of the chapels belonging to the vicarage of Monkton, and is now the only one of them in being. As this church was a chapelry of the parish church of Monkton, and the chapel was erected for the ease of the inhabitants, they were antiently obliged to contribute towards the repairs of the mother church; but this usage, as well as that of the other chapels in this island, (except St. Nicholas, which still continues to pay a certain sum towards the repairs of its mother church of Reculver) has been for a long time discontinued.
By the endowment of the vicarage of Monkton in 1367, it was decreed, that the vicar of Monkton for the time being, should find one chaplain in this chapel of Birchington, dependant on that church, daily to celebrate, as far as he conveniently could, which chaplain should officiate in this chapel duly in divine services; for which the vicar allowed him a stipend of six pounds per annum.
In the valuation of the vicarage of Monkton, in the king's books, the vicar of it is charged for a priest at the chapels of Birchington and Wode, 11l. 13s. 4d. In 1640 here were 240 communicants.
The vicar of Monkton now finds a curate to officiate in this church, being collated by the archbishop, the patron, to the vicarage of Monkton, with the chapels of Birchington and Wode appendant to it; but the appropriate parsonage of this parish, including that of Wood adjoining, as an appendage to that of Monkton, which was part of the possessions of the priory of Christ-church, was yet a distinct parsonage from it, and as such was granted, after the dissolution, by king Henry VIII. in his 33d year, by his dotation charter, to his new-erected dean and chapter of Canterbury, in whom the inheritance of it is at this time vested.
The parsonage of Birchington, including that of Wood, alias Woodchurch, adjoining, is let on a beneficial lease for twenty-one years. In 1778 the rack rent of it was two hundred pounds per annum; but it was valued, on a survey, at six hundred pounds per annum, having 2000 acres of titheable land within the tithery of it. The family of Hugessen, of Provender, were lessees of it. From the coheirs of the late William Western Hugessen, esq. their interest in this lease was sold, in 1791, to Mr. George Bushell, of Minster, whose son Mr. Benjamin Bushell is the present lessee.
¶The parish clerk here had formerly some peculiar privileges, as appears by the antient book of the clerks for collecting his dues, (fn. 10) different from those enjoyed by other parish-clerks in this island; besides certain sums of money, amounting to 5s. 6d. and a groat a year for every cottage; and he had paid him in kind by the farmers, twelve cops and twelve sheaves of wheat, and twelve cops and two sheaves of barley; but in the year 1638, an assessment was made by the parishioners of this parish, and of the parish and ville of Wood, wherein they rated their lands at twelve pence the score acres, and the cottages at four pence each, for the clerk's wages.

-----------------------------------------------------
The oldest standing building in Birchington, is of course, the Parish Church of All Saints Birchington, which stands in the centre of the village adjacent to the Square, and like other churches of Thanet about three quarters of a mile back from the sea.
It is positioned at the crossroads of two old roads, one which led from Minster Abbey to the sea at the little port of Gore-end, and the other to Canterbury crossing the River Wantsum by the ferry at Sarre.
Its distinguished tower with its tall, graceful spire creates an unmissable landmark on the approach to Thanet, and years ago ships passing by on the offing used it as such.
It is believed that a Church stood in this location for many years before the present building was constructed. There is a possibility that a Church stood here in Saxon times.
It is most likely that the church was originally a chapel of ease under Monkton and in its earliest form had a simple nave and chancel.
This evidence of the older building, can still be seen in the outside south wall, where some stones have been re-used.
There is evidence of some of the pre-Reformation features, including the base panels of the medieval rood screen at the chancel steps, reinstated in 1905, and one of the corbels that held the great rood beam itself. Between 1863 and 1883 the Victorians made their contribution with a major renovation programme.
The most memorable windows in the church are in memory of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, who died in Birchington in 1882. The left is a reproduction of one of his own paintings, while the right was designed by Frank Shields.
In recent times there have been less dramatic changes. Among them, through the generosity of the present owner of Quex Park, the Quex Chapel has been made into a chapel of worship once more. In late 2010, the spire of All Saints became illuminated at night. It still stands like a beacon, welcoming people into the village from St Nicholas roundabout, encouraging travellers, as it has done since about 1350, to travel those last two miles with a lighter heart, knowing they are so near home.
The exact date of the current church and the names of its founders are not known but it can be deduced from the records and from the style of architecture, the oldest parts of the Church are the Chancel with its side chapels, along with the Tower. It is believed that in c. 1250 the chancel was rebuilt, with the owners of Quex Park then adding a North Chapel, while the monks of Monkton added a southeast tower and chapel.
It is possible that the original owners of Quex may have built the original church, especially considering the north or Quex Chapel is the private chapel and property of the owners of the Quex Estate.
The Nave of the old church was increased in size in c. 1350 along with its five fine arcades of five bays, two narrow aisles and Norman door to the North side and is in the perpendicular style.
The large southwest pillar within the church suggest to us of plans that had to be altered, probably because of the Black Death, which resulted in us having two half aisles under one enormous roof. Around the same time, the spire was added to the tower - it still contains its original framework.
The walls of the Church are very thick and solid, built of rubble and faced with broken flints, the Kentish cobbles.
The south wall contains some old stones within it, which can be seen on either side of the south porch, which was added c. 1430. These old stones which are of anterior date to the other stones used in the building have suggested that in line with tradition, they were brought from an ancient church which stood at Gore-end and which was pulled down on the encroachment of the sea and used in the re-construction and enlargement of the present church.
There are old octagonal piers constructed from old Kent Ragstone, which have well moulded caps and bases. The east window was rebuilt of Bath stone during the Victorian restoration of the Church in 1863 when the present tracery was inserted.
One of the oldest parts of the building is the south chapel, or the St. Margaret's Chapel, above which is located the Tower in an unusual position at the south-east end of the Church. When the original small church of the three chapels was built in about 1250, before the Nave was added in the 1300's, the Tower was in the usual position — at the south-west end of the church. The Tower, crowned with an ancient shingle spire is the only ancient shingled spire in Thanet. The spire has been re-shingled several times, with the last occurring in 1968 using Canadian Red Cedar Wood shingles. Historically, sailing ships found the Spire great use at sea to steer by on their way from the Thames to the Foreland and Trinity House provided a grant of £100 in 1864 to repair it. Capping off the Spire is mounted a vane in the shape of an arrow with the date 1699 cut out in the centre.
The Church for many centuries had a tiled roof which has been renewed on several occasions. Much of the woodwork of the roof was renewed at the 1863 restoration.
At the base of the piers are stone seats which until the end of the 14th century were in most churches the only seats in naves.
In the near centre of the north wall behind the current location of the font, opposite the south door may be seen the outline of an arch used formerly as another door and blocked probably at the restoration of 1863.
The Chancel is dedicated to All Saints. The beautiful reredos, was completed in 1883 takes the form of a triptych. This was designed by a Mr. C. N. Beazley and painted by Mr. N. H. J. Westlake, F.S.A., a well known artist at that time. This was restored and cleaned at the end of 2010. On the north side of the Altar is what is probably an Easter Sepulchre. The oak Altar rails were installed in 1938, which were made by a local craftsman. On the south side of the Chancel attached to a pier is a brass of a priest wearing the vestments of the period. This was formerly on a ledger stone in the Sanctuary. The inscription states that the brass is to John Heynes, priest, sometime vicar of Monkton who died 9th October A.D. 1523.
The Crucifixion is the theme of the east window and was dedicated in 1873. The west window was the gift of Mr. Thomas Gray of Birchington Hall, which was later to become Spurgeons Childrens Home then Birch Hill Park and was dedicated in 1873.
In the vault beneath the Quex Chapel, formally the Lady Chapel, now filled in, are buried the previous owners and their relatives of Quex. This Chapel contains some wonderful and interesting monuments in brass, alabaster, stone and marble commemorating the owners of Quex from the early 15th century to the present day.
The Tower contains eight bells, the oldest being made in 1633. The Church Clock was installed in 1887, as a memorial of Queen Victoria's Jubilee. There are a number of old and interesting tombstones in the Churchyard, the one of most general interest is that of Rossetti whose grave lies near the south porch, which was designed by his friend Ford Maddox Brown. In 1910, the two vestries were added.
There is evidence of some of the pre-Reformation features, including the base panels of the medieval rood screen at the chancel steps, reinstated in 1905, and one of the corbels that held the great rood beam itself. Between 1863 and 1883 the Victorians made their contribution with a major renovation programme.

Cancer screening and early detection have contributed to a continuing decline in Delaware’s all-site cancer mortality rate over the past decade, say Delaware Public Health officials. From 1998-2002 to 2008-2012, Delaware’s cancer death rate decreased 14 percent, an improvement that was identical to the decline seen nationally (14 percent), according to the latest cancer data announced by the Division of Public Health (DPH).
DPH presented its new report, Cancer Incidence and Mortality in Delaware, 2008-2012 to the Delaware Cancer Consortium (DCC) following its meeting July 19 in Dover. The annual report provides data for all cancer sites combined (all-site cancer) and eight cancer types, risk factors, early detection and screening recommendations, and census tract maps. The update was presented by DHSS Secretary Rita Landgraf, DPH Director Dr. Karyl Rattay and Public Health epidemiologist Dr. Zeinab Baba.
Delaware’s all-site cancer mortality rate fell 17 percent among men, 13 percent among women, 21.9 percent among African Americans, and 13.9 percent among Caucasians over the last decade according to the report. However, at 181 deaths per 100,000 people, the state’s mortality rate was still 5.8 percent higher than the U.S. rate for 2008-2012. Delaware’s ranking of fourteen among the states for highest all-site cancer mortality remains relatively unchanged from last year’s report which looked at the 2007-2011 time period, but still represents considerable progress since the 1990s, when the state ranked second.

In the heart of the arid, sun-scorched land of the Little Rann of Kutch, a tradition that spans centuries continues to thrive: the life of the Agariya people, the traditional salt farmers. These resilient men and women have been harvesting salt from the vast salt marshes of Gujarat, India, for generations. Their lives are intricately intertwined with the land and its seasonal rhythms, a delicate balance of nature, labor, and cultural heritage.
The Little Rann of Kutch, a desolate expanse of land, becomes a shimmering salt desert during the dry season. The Agariya community has developed an intimate relationship with this barren landscape, one that requires patience, skill, and an intimate knowledge of the natural environment. Their work begins in the heat of the summer, when the land is dry, and the evaporation of water leaves behind the precious salt crystals that the Agariyas painstakingly harvest.
In the early morning, before the sun rises to its unforgiving peak, the Agariya men and women venture out into the salt marshes, often barefoot, the soles of their feet accustomed to the harsh terrain. They begin the process of creating the salt pans by digging shallow pools in the earth, allowing the brine that seeps from the ground to accumulate. Over time, the salty water evaporates under the harsh sun, leaving behind salt crystals that can be harvested. It is a painstakingly slow process that takes months, and every step is done by hand: from the creation of the salt pans to the collection of the harvested salt.
The Agariya community is deeply connected to this labor-intensive process, and their lives revolve around it. The rhythm of their work is determined by the changing seasons. During the monsoon season, the marsh is flooded, and the salt harvesting ceases. But when the rains end, the cycle begins anew. Each year, they move in and out of the Rann, living in temporary shelters made of thatch and mud, and bringing their families along for the work. It is a family affair, with each member contributing in some way. Children grow up learning the techniques of salt farming, passing down the knowledge from one generation to the next.
The Agariyas are known for their remarkable ability to endure the intense heat and the harsh conditions of the Rann. The work is grueling—days spent in the hot sun, often with little rest, and their hands and feet calloused from the constant contact with the salt. The salt also takes a toll on their bodies, leaving their skin chapped and cracked, but they persist, for the salt is their livelihood.
Despite the hardships, there is a quiet dignity in their work. Salt is a vital commodity, and the Agariyas' labor supplies it not just for local consumption, but for global trade. The salt they harvest is not just an essential ingredient for food preservation and cooking, but a vital component of many industries—chemical production, pharmaceuticals, and even de-icing roads in colder countries.
The lives of the Agariyas are also marked by their distinctive culture and traditions. Their language, clothing, and festivals reflect the harsh yet vibrant life of the Kutch region. The Agariyas have their own social structure and community life, where cooperation and mutual support are essential. Despite the isolation of their work, they have maintained a close-knit community, where elders are revered, and customs are passed down carefully through the generations.
Over time, the Agariya people have faced challenges: the changing landscape of industrialization, government regulations, and the encroachment of modern farming practices. The advent of mechanized salt production has also threatened their traditional way of life, as large-scale industries take over the business of salt harvesting.
However, despite these challenges, the Agariyas' bond with the land remains unbroken. In recent years, efforts to preserve their way of life have emerged, with some organizations helping the community adapt to new circumstances while keeping their traditional practices alive. The Agariya way of life is not just about harvesting salt—it is a testament to resilience, tradition, and an unyielding connection to the land.
The story of the Agariya people in the Little Rann of Kutch is a quiet, enduring narrative of survival, cultural identity, and the deep bond between human labor and nature. For centuries, they have been the unsung keepers of a precious resource, working in the desolate wilderness of Kutch, and in doing so, they have carved out a legacy that is as vast and enduring as the salt they harvest.

Hungarian folk dance is a branch of Hungarian folk art, a series of rhythmic movements performed with vocal or musical accompaniment. Apart from its original cult role, it can be playful, symbolic or entertaining.
István Györffy: "...folk dance is living its last hours. Today's young generation has been completely infected by international dance."
The quoted text is from 1939. Today, many people may think that István Györffy is not completely right. Today's parents consider it important that their children get to know their own national and cultural traditions with the help of and through folk dance. Although in the beginning many children only try to comply with their parents' persuasion, later on they continue to practice out of their own free will, because of the company, and out of their love for dance.
Young people can have many experiences related to dance; they can get to know folk songs, old customs, crafts, places and people. Practicing Hungarian folk dance, or simply loving it, definitely elevates a person to a member of a special community. Initially, the dancers are introduced to motifs, and then they learn their connection order according to the structure of the given dance language. This kind of knowledge makes it possible for the dancer, who "speaks" the language of dance very well, to be able to convey what he has to say in this form; "talk to your dance". This is perhaps the most important thing that a true dancer must learn.
Speaking and self-expression through dance and movement make it possible (which was discovered long ago in villages and urban communities) that human and friendly relationships come to the fore, pushing mere business or work relationships into the background. In the life of modern Hungarian society, the national dance hall movement, which was primarily organized to preserve and revive our national values, provides an excellent opportunity to create this kind of relationship.
The years or decades spent practicing and performing enriches a person not only by mastering dance steps and choreography. Discipline, commitment to music and dance, love of community and company are characteristic of all dancers almost without exception.
Getting to know a particular type of dance is not limited to just learning the movements. Getting to know local traditions is important, even in the form of actual research. It is worth looking up the current geographical feature on a map, using illustrations, song recordings, and getting to know the folk costumes typical of the given area.
In the case of children, getting to know different folk games is also important. These procedures, as well as the stories, songs, and ballads heard even from parents and grandparents, all help the current young generation to get to know and later pass on the treasures of their own national culture.
Studying Hungarian folk dance helps you learn about our own culture and contributes to the formation of our national identity. A successful performance is a great experience not only for the audience, but also for the dancers themselves. In order for this branch of Hungarian culture to continue to exist, the older age group as well as the younger generation have a big role to play. The former must be in place in teaching and the transmission of values, the latter in learning and the preservation of values.
