I asked her to say 'cheese'. She didn't complay. Well, she was not a real marquise, but a member of a historical group impersonating a XVII century noblewoman at the court of the King of Sardinian in Turin. Nice but a little stiffy.

Photograph taken at 06:57am on July 26th 2011 within the skateboard arena on London's South Bank, located underneath the Queen Elizabeth Hall and very much a part of the central London scene.
Home to world championships and freedom of expression that is both artistic and refreshing, this vibrant and energetic location has fallen victim sadly to red tape and beaurocratic stupidity which will likely see the arena closed for good in the near future.

Freedom of expression is fine
You don’t draw caricature s
Of the Holy Prophet and
Disrespect the Divine
Or Cartoons
on the sands of Karbala
in blood by shimr and yazid
was way out of line
a single Hussain
they could not outshine
Freedom of expression is fine
If I respect yours
and you respect mine
I don’t call you a pig
You don’t call me a swine
Man is mortal
Humanity
the most holiest Shrine
Freedom of expression is fine
But not bombs on human souls
No part of any godly design
Man to man
Through religious venom
Don’t malign
And lets live in peace
terror decline
helping each other
our human credentials define
a new hope for
our unborn children assign
freedom of expression is fine
if love and peace together combine
what is yours is also mine
a single world
good thoughts
good actions entwine
poem no 505

Words are supposed to hurt. That's considered a legitimate way of fighting things out. And what did it replace in the historical scene? It replaced actual violence.
Words are supposed to be free so we CAN actually fight things out, in the battleplace of ideas, so we don't end up fighting them out in civil wars. If we try to legitimately ban anything that can hurt someone's feelings, everyone is reduced to silence.

Journalist Ahmet Şιk launches Journalism Under Siege, a report on press freedom in Turkey, at the Free Word Centre, London, 23 March 2016.
The launch event was chaired by David Diaz-Jogeix, the Director of Programmes at ARTICLE 19 (left) and interpreted by Milena Buyum.
The report is a project of the Free Word writers in residence programme, jointly administered by ARTICLE 19, English PEN and Free Word, in partnership with the Committee to Protect Journalists.
1,000+ people protested against the Government's controversial proposed Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill at Devonshire Green in Sheffield.
The proposed Bill includes proposals that would give police and the Home Secretary increased powers to stop protests on grounds of “serious annoyance or inconvenience” which if you’re a government minister could mean all of them.
It’s a serious erosion of civil liberties and democratic rights.
