The liberal hoax by Hydrogen

She's enjoying "hiatus" now. [MARCH 28 amendment: she was let go by Fox today...for doing exactly what she was hired to do in the first place. Seems unfair somehow.]

Critical News Update 21 July 2021 : Great Barrier Reef could soon be listed as ‘in danger’ by the World Heritage Committee.

Critical News Update 23 July 2021 :

www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/jul/23/whether-or-no...

UPDATE:

“Environmentalists are accusing Scott Morrison of "trashing" Australia's international reputation, as official documents reveal the broad scale of his government's efforts to significantly increase coal exports at a time of mass protests calling for action on climate change.” “The government is seeking to grow its coal exports in overseas markets as it looks to buttress the economic fallout from a deteriorating relationship with China.” 22 September 2019 www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/pm-accused-of-trashing-au...

“If Adani’s mine goes ahead it will be one of the largest coal mines in the world and will generate an estimated 4.7 billion tonnes of carbon pollution over its lifetime.” “The mine would drive massive industrial port expansion along the Reef coastline at Abbot Point. Over a million cubic metres of the seafloor would be dredged for a new coal terminal, threatening the habitat of vulnerable dugongs and turtles and dolphins. There would be hundreds more coal ships ploughing through the Reef’s waters every year, increasing the risk of accidents.” www.marineconservation.org.au/stop-adani-wrecking-our-reef/

“Currently there are over 11,000 shipping movements through the Great Barrier Reef each year.” “When the massive coal carrier Shen Neng 1 crashed into the Reef in 2010 it damaged an area covering 0.4 square kilometres – the largest ever recorded by a ship grounding in the Great Barrier Reef.” www.marineconservation.org.au/dredging-shipping-great-bar...

St Peter, Ightham, Kent by Jelltex

Igtham is well known, at least the nearby moated manor house, Igtham Moat. The village is well travelled through, and many stop here because it is chocolate box picture perfect.

I stopped here at about half ten on a Saturday morning, the place should have been packed with tourists, maybe it will once the pub opens for lunch, but I was able to park in the picturesque village square, take a few shots of the timber-framed buildings, and walk up the hill to the church.

From the lych gate I could see the porch door open, so my hopes were raised, and indeed the church was open, un-manned, and the lights came on, triggered by a pressure pad in the porch.

This I did not know until the lights went out after ten minutes, I went out to find the light switches, returned and the lights were back on.

Upon entering the church, your eyes are drawn to large and impressive memorials on the right hand side of the Chancel, two lying armoured male figures have relaxed for four hundred years, on the east wall, a severe female glares down as she has done since the 17th century.

And in an alcove on the north side, a 14th century knight, covered in armour lies with a lion at his feet.

-------------------------------------------

The church is built on a steep hillside and displays a rare brick-built north aisle. The chancel is full of unusual memorials, the most noteworthy of which is to Sir Thomas Cawne dating from the end of the fourteenth century. He is wearing armour and chain mail and lies under a canopy beneath a window that forms part of the same composition. In the churchyard is a nice nineteenth-century tomb designed by the famous architect William Burges. The other monuments of note at Ightham are all to the Selby family, the most famous of whom is Dorothy Selby (d. 1641) who is reputed to have had a connection with the Gunpower Plot, although the ambiguous inscription on her tomb is now believed to be no more than an appreciation of her needlework.

www.kentchurches.info/church.asp?p=Ightham

-------------------------------------------

IGHTHAM.

WESTWARD from Wrotham lies IGHTHAM, so corruptly called for Eightham, which name it had from the eight boroughs or hams lying within the bounds of it, viz. Eightham, Redwell, Ivybatch, Borough-green, St. Cleres, the Moat, Beaulies, and Oldborough. (fn. 1) In the Textus Roffensis it is spelt EHTEHAM.

THE PARISH of Ightham for the most part is in the vale between the chalk and the sand or quarry hills, tho' it reaches above the former northward. Near the chalk hill, and for some distance southward the same soil prevails, thence it is an unsertile deep sand, and at the boundaries towards Shipborne a deep clay and heavy tillage land; from hence, and its situation, however healthy it may be, it is by no means a pleasant or a profitable one. The parish is very narrow, little more than a mile in width, but from north to south it extends near five miles, from Kingsdown, above the hills, to Shipborne, its southern boundary. At the foot of the chalk hill and north-west boundary of this parish, is the mansion of St. Clere, and not far from it Yaldham; about a mile from which is Ightham-court, and at a little distance further southward is the church and village, situated on the high road from Maidstone to Sevenoke and Westerham, which here crosses this parish by the hamlet of Borough-green, and the manor of Oldborough, or Oldbery, as it is now called, with the hill of that name, belonging to Richard James, esq. of this parish, in this part, and by Ivy-hatch plain, there is much rough uninclosed waste ground, the soil a dreary barren sand, consisting in this and the adjoining parish, of several hundred acres, being in general covered with heath and furze, with some scrubby wood interspersed among them. At the southern extremity of the parish, next to Shipborne, and adjoining to the grounds of Fairlawn, is the seat of the Moat, lowly situated in a deep and miry soil. A fair is kept yearly in this parish, upon the Wednesday in Whitsun week, which is vulgarly called Coxcombe fair.

The Roman military way seems to have crossed this parish from Ofham, and Camps directing its course westward through it. The names of Oldborough, now called Oldberry-hill, and Stone-street in it, are certain marks of its note in former times.

At Oldberry-hill there are the remains of a very considerable intrenchment, which is without doubt of Roman origin. It is situated on the top of the hill, and is now great part of it so overgrown with wood as to make it very difficult to trace the lines of it. It is of an oval form, and by a very accurate measurement, contains within its bounds the space of one hundred and thirty-seven acres. Just on the brow of the hill is an entrance into a cave, which has been long filled up by the sinking of the earth, so as to admit a passage but a very small way into it, but by antient tradition, it went much further in, under the hill.

The whole of it seems to have been antiently fortified according to the nature of the ground, that is, where it is less difficult of access by a much stronger vallum or bank, than where it is more so. In the middle of it there are two fine springs of water. The vast size of this area, which is larger even than that at Keston, in this county, takes away all probability of its having been a Roman station, the largest of which, as Dr. Horsley observes, that he knew of, not being near a tenth part of this in compass. It seems more like one of their camps, and might be one of their castra æstiva, or summer quarters, of which kind they had several in this county. An intrenchment of like form seems to have been at Oldbury hill, in Wiltshire, which the editor of Camden thought might possibly be Danish. There are remains of a Roman camp at Oldbury, in Gloucestershire, where the pass of the Romans over the Severn, mentioned by Antonine, is supposed to have been by Camden. And at Oldbury, near Manchester, in Warwickshire, are such like remains.

IGHTHAM was held in the reign of king Henry III. by Hamo de Crevequer, who died possessed of it in the 47th year of that reign, anno 1262, leaving Robert, his grandson, his heir. By his wife, Maud de Albrincis, or Averenches, he had also four daughters, Agnes, wife of John de Sandwich, Isolda, of Nicholas de Lenham; Elene, of Bertram de Criol; and Isabel, of Henry de Gaunt.

Robert de Crevequer left one son, William, who dying without issue, his inheritance devolved on the children of three of the daughters of Hamon de Crevequer, as above-mentioned, Agnes, Isolda, and Elene, and on the division of their inheritance, Ightham seems to have fallen to the share of Nicholas, son of Bertram de Criol, by his wife Elene, above-mentioned. He was a man greatly in the king's favour, and was constituted by him warden of the five ports, sheriff of Kent, and governor of Rochester castle. By Joane his wife, daughter and sole heir of William de Aubervill, he had Nicholas de Criol, who had summons to parliament, and died in the 31st year of king Edward the 1st.'s reign, possessed of this manor, which his heirs alienated to William de Inge, who held it in the first year of king Edward II. and procured free-warren for his lands in Eyghtham, (fn. 2) and in the 9th year of it, a market here, to be held on a Monday weekly, and one fair on the feast of the apostles, St. Peter and St. Paul. In which last year he was constituted one of the justices of the common pleas. (fn. 3) He bore for his arms, Or, a chevron vert. On his death, in the 15th year of that reign, anno 1286, Joane, his daughter, married to Eudo, or Ivo la Zouch, the son of William, lord Zouch, of Harringworth, by Maud, daughter of John, lord Lovel, of Tichmarsh, became entitled to it.

His descendants continued in the possession of this manor till the reign of king Henry VII. when it was alienated to Sir Robert Read, serjeant at law, afterwards made chief justice of the common pleas, (fn. 4) who died in the next reign of king Henry VIII. leaving by Margaret, one of the daughters and coheirs of John Alphew, esq. of Chidingstone, one son, Edmund, one of the justices of the king's bench, who died before him in 1501, and also four daughters, who became his coheirs, and on the partition of their inheritance this manor was allotted to Sir Thomas Willoughby, (fn. 5) in right of Bridget his wife, the eldest of them. He was in the 29th year of king Henry VIII. promoted to the office of chief justice of the common pleas, and in the 31st year of it, he, among others, procured his lands to be disgavelled by the act then passed for that purpose. He left Robert his son and heir, who alienated this manor to William James, third son of Roger James, of London, who was of Dutch parentage, and coming into England in the latter end of the reign of king Henry VIII. was first as being the descendant of Jacob Van Hastrecht, who was antiently seated at Cleve near Utrecht, called after the Dutch fashion Roger Jacobs, and afterwards Roger James, alias Hastrecht. This Roger James, alias Hastrecht, had several sons and one daughter. Of the former, Roger, the eldest, was of Upminster, in Essex, whose descendants settled at Ryegate, in Surry. William, was of Ightham, as before mentioned; Richard had a son, who was of Creshell, in Essex; John was of Woodnesborough, in this county, and George was of Mallendine, in Cliff, near Rochester. William-James, the third son of Roger as before-mentioned, resided at Ightham-court, as did his son William James, esq. who was a man much trusted in the usurpation under Oliver Cromwell, as one of the committee members for the sequestration of the loyalists estates, during which time he was in five years thrice chosen knight of the shire for Kent. His son Demetrius was knighted, whose son William James held his shrievalty for this county here in 1732. He left by his wife, daughter of Demetrius James, esq. of Essex, two sons, Richard his heir, and Demetrius, late rector of this parish, and a daughter married to Mr. Hindman. He died in 1780, and was succeeded by his eldest son Richard James, esq. now of Ightham-court, and the present possessor of this manor. He is colonel of the West-Kent regiment of militia, and is at present unmarried. The original coat of arms of this family of Haestrecht was, Argent, two bars crenelle, gules, in chief three pheons sable; which arms, without the pheons, are borne by the several branches of James, quartered with, Argent, a chevron between three fer de molins transverse, sable.

ST. CLERES, alias West Aldham, situated in the borough of the latter name, is a manor and seat in the north-west part of this parish, adjoining to Kemsing, which was formerly called by the latter name only, and was possessed by a family of the same denomination, who bore for their arms, Azure, a pile, or.

Sir Thomas de Aldham was owner of it in the reign of king Richard I. and was with that king at the siege of Acon, in Palestine. His descendant Sir Thomas de Aldham, possessed this manor of Aldham in the reign of king Edward II. and dying without male issue, his three daughters became his coheirs, the eldest of whom married Newborough, called in Latin de Novo Burgo, of Dorsetshire; Margery married Martin Peckham, and Isolda was the wife of John St. Clere, and on the division of their inheritance this manor fell to the share of John St. Clere, who possessed it in his wife's right. (fn. 6)

John de St. Clere, written in Latin deeds De Sancta Claro, died possessed of it in the beginning of king Edward III. leaving Isolda his wife surviving, on whose death John St. Clere, their son, succeeded to this manor, which from this family now gained the name of Aldham St. Cleres, and in process of time came to be called by the latter name only, and their descendants continued in possession of this manor till the beginning of the reign of king Henry VII. when it was alienated to Henry Lovel, who left two daughters his coheirs; Agnes, who married John Empson, cousin to Sir Richard Empson, the grand projector; and Elizabeth, married to Anthony Windsor.

John Empson conveyed his moiety of it, in the 8th year of king Henry VIII. to Sir Thomas Bulleyn, afterwards created earl of Wiltshire and Ormond, and father of the lady Anne Bulleyn, wife to Henry VIII. (fn. 7) and Anthony Windsor, in the 10th year of that reign, passed his moiety away by sale to Richard Farmer, who that year purchased of Sir Thomas Bulleyn the other part, and so became possessed of the whole of this manor of St. Cleres. In the 28th year of that reign, Richard Farmer conveyed it to George Multon, esq. of Hadlow who removed hither. He bore for his arms, Or, three bars vert; being the same arms as those borne by Sir John Multon, lord Egremond, whose heir general married the lord Fitzwalter, excepting in the difference of the colours, the latter bearing it, Argent, three bars, gules. His grandson Robert Multon, esq. was of St. Cleres, and lies buried with his ancestors in this church. He alienated this manor and estate, in the reign of Charles I. to Sir John Sidley, knight and baronet, a younger branch of those of Southfleet and Aylesford, in this county, who erected here a mansion for his residence, which is now remaining. He was descended from William Sedley, esq. of Southfleet, who lived in the reign of king Edward VI. and left three sons, of whom John was ancestor of the Sedleys, of Southfleet and Aylesford; Robert was the second son, and Nicholas the third son, by Jane, daughter and coheir of Edward Isaac, esq. of Bekesborne, afterwards married to Sir Henry Palmer, left one son, Isaac Sidley, who was of Great Chart, created a baronet in 1621, and sheriff of this county in the 2d year of Charles I. whose son Sir John Sidley, knight and baronet, purchased St. Cleres, as above-mentioned. (fn. 8) He left two sons, Isaac and John, who both succeeded to the title of baronet. The eldest son, Sir Isaac Sidley, bart. succeeded his father in this estate, and was of St. Cleres, as was his son, Sir Charles Sidley, bart. who dying without issue in 1702, was buried in Ightham church. By his will he devised this manor, with the seat and his estates in this parish, to his uncle John, who succeeded him in the title of baronet, for his life, with remainder to George Sedley, his eldest son, in tale male. But Sir Charles having been for some time before his death, and at the time of his making his will of weak understanding, and under undue influence, Sir John Sedley contested the validity of it, and it was set aside by the sentence in the prerogative court of Canterbury.

Soon after which Sir John, and his son George Sedley above-mentioned, entered into an agreement, by which Sir John Sedley waved his right as heir at law, and his further right to contest the will. In consequence of which an act of parliament was obtained for the settling in trustees the manor of West Aldham, alias St. Cleres, with its appurtenances, and the capital messuage called St. Cleres, in Ightham, and other messuages and lands in Ightham, Wrotham, Kemsing, Seal, &c. that they might be sold for the purposes of the agreement, which the whole of them were soon afterwards to William Evelyn, esq. the fifth son of George Evelyn, esq. of Nutfield, in Surry, who afterwards resided here, and in 1723 was sheriff of this county.

He married first the daughter and heir of William Glanvill, esq. and in the 5th year of king George I. obtained an act of parliament to use the surname and arms of Glanvill only, the latter being Argent, a chief indented azure, pursuant to the will of William Glanvill, esq. above-mentioned. By her he had an only daughter Frances, married to the hon. Edward Boscawen, next brother to Hugh, viscount Falmouth, and admiral of the British fleet. His second wife was daughter of Jones Raymond, esq. who died in 1761, by whom he had William Glanvill Evelyn, esq. who on his father's decease in 1766, succeeded to St. Cleres and the rest of his estates in this county. In 1757 he kept his shrievalty at St. Cleres, where he resides at present, and is one of the representatives in parliament for Hythe, in this county.

He married about the year 1760, Susan, one of the two daughters and coheirs of Thomas Borrett, esq. of Shoreham, late prothonotary of the court of common pleas, by whom he had a son, William Evelyn, esq. who died in 1788 at Blandford-lodge, near Woodstock, by a fall from his horse, æct. 21, and unmarried; and a daughter Frances, afterwards his sole heir, married in 1782 to Alexander Hume, esq. of Hendley, in Surry, brother of Sir Abraham Hume, who in 1797 had the royal licence to take and use the name and arms of Evelyn only, and he now resides at St. Clere.

THE MOAT is another borough in this parish, in which is the manor and seat of that name, lying at the southern extremity of it next to Shipborne, which in the reign of king Henry II. was in the possession of Ivo de Haut, and his descendant, Sir Henry de Haut, died possessed of it in the 44th year of Edward III. as appears by the escheat roll of that year. His son, Sir Edmund de Haut, died in his life-time, so that his grandson, Nicholas Haut, became his heir, and succeeded him in the possession of this estate. (fn. 9)

He was sheriff in the 19th year of king Richard II. and kept his shrievalty at Wadenhall, in this county. He left two sons, William, who was of Bishopsborne; and Richard Haut, who succeeded him in this estate, and was sheriff in the 18th and 22d years of king Edward IV. keeping both his shrievalties at this seat of themoat; but having engaged, with several others of the gentry of this county, with the duke of Buckingham, in favor of the Earl of Richmond, he was beheaded at Pontefract, anno 1 Richard III. and afterwards attainted in the 3d year of that reign, and his estates confiscated. (fn. 10) Quickly after which, this manor and seat were granted by that king to Robert Brakenbury, lieutenant of the tower of London, and that year sheriff of this county. He kept possession of the Moat but a small time, for he lost his life with king Richard in the fatal battle of Bosworth, fought that year on August 22, and on the Earl of Richmond's attaining the crown was attainted by an act then passed for the purpose, and though his two daughters were restored in blood by another act four years afterwards, yet the Moat was immediately restored to the heirs of its former owner Richard Haut, whose attainder was likewise reversed, and in their descendants it remained till the latter end of the reign of king Henry VII. when it appears by an old court roll to have been in the possession of Sir Richard Clement, who kept his shrievalty at the Moat in the 23d year of king Henry VIII and bore for his arms, A bend nebulee, in chief three fleurs de lis within a border, gobinated. He died without any legitimate issue, and was buried in the chancel of this church. Upon which his brother, John Clement, and his sister, married to Sir Edward Palmer, of Angmering, in Sussex, became his coheirs, but the former succeeded to the entire fee of this estate.

John Clement died without male issue, leaving an only daughter and heir Anne, who carried the Moat in marriage to Hugh Pakenham, and he, in the reign of king Edward VI. joining with Sir William Sydney, who had married Anne, his only daughter and heir passed it away to Sir John Allen, who had been of the privy council to king Henry VIII. and lord mayor of London in the year 1526 and 1536. He was of the company of mercers, a man of liberal charity. He gave to the city of London a rich collar of gold, to be worn by the succeeding lord-mayors: also five hundred marcs as a stock for sea coal, and the rents of those lands which he had purchased of the king, to the poor of London for ever; and during his life he gave bountifully to the hospitals, prisons, &c. of that city. He built the mercers chapel in Cheapside, in which his body was buried, which was afterwards moved into the body of the hospital church of St. Thomas, of Acon, and the chapel made into shops by the mercer's company. He bore for his arms, In three roundlets, as many talbots passant, on a chief a lion passant guardant between two anchors. (fn. 11)

He left a son and heir Sir Christopher Allen, whose son and heir, Charles Allen, esq. succeeded his father in this estate, and resided at the Moat, which he afterwards sold at the latter end of the reign of queen Elizabeth to Sir William Selby, younger brother of Sir John Selby, of Branxton, in Northumberland. He resided here in the latter part of his life, and died greatly advanced in years in 1611, unmarried, and was buried in this church, bearing for his arms, Barry of twelve pieces, or and azure. He by his will gave this estate to his nephew, Sir William Selby, who resided here, and died likewise without issue, and by his will, for the sake of the name gave the Moat to Mr. George Selby, of London, who afterwards resided here, and was sheriff in the 24th year of king Charles I. and bore for his arms, Barry of eight pieces, or and sable. He died in 1667, leaving several sons and daughters. Of whom William Selby, esq. the eldest son, succeeded to this estate, and was of the Moat. He married Susan, daughter of Sir John Rainey, bart. of Wrotham, by whom he had several children, of whom John Selby, esq. the eldest son, was of the Moat, and by Mary his wife, one of the three daughters and coheirs of Thomas Gifford, esq. left two sons, William, who succeeded him in this seat and estate at Ightham, and John Selby, esq. who was of Pennis, in Fawkham, and died unmarried.

William Selby resided at the Moat, of which he died possessed in 1773, leaving his wife Elizabeth, daughter of Mr. Burroughs, surviving, who afterwards possessed this seat and resided here. She died in 1788, and her only son, William Selby, esq. of Pennis, having deceased in 1777, and his only daughter and heir likewise, Elizabeth Borough Selby, by Elizabeth his wife, one of the daughters of John Weston, esq. of Cranbrook, under age, and unmarried in 1781. This seat, with her other estates in this county, devolved to John Brown, esq. who has since taken the name of Selby, and now resides at the Moat, of which he is the present possessor.

The park, called Ightham park, has been already mentioned under the parish of Wrotham, to which the reader is referred.

It appears by the visitation of 1619, that there was a branch of the Suliards, of Brasted, then residing in this parish.

John Gull resided in this parish in the reign of king Henry VIII. and died here in 1547.

Charities.

HENRY PEARCE gave by will in 1545, to be distributed to the poor in bread yearly the annual sum of 6s. 8d. charged on land now vested in Cozens, and she gave besides to be distributed to the poor in bread at Easter yearly, 40l. now of the annual produce of 2l. and for the providing of books for poor children to learn the catechism, the sum of 10l. now of the annual produce of 10s.

HENRY FAIRBRASSE gave by will in 1601, to be distributed in like manner, the annual sum of 1l. to be paid out of land now vested in William Hacket.

WILLIAM JAMES, ESQ. gave by will in 1627, to be distributed in bread to the poor every Sunday, the annual sum of 2l. 12s. to be paid out of lands now vested in Rich. James, esq.

GEORGE PETLEY gave by will in 1705, to be distributed in like manner, every Sunday, 2s. the annual sum of 5l. 4s. to be paid out of land vested in William Evelyn, esq.

ELIZABETH JAMES, gave by will in 1720, for the education of poor children, the annual sum of 5l. to be paid out of land now vested in Elizabeth Solley.

IGHTHAM is within the ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION of the diocese of Rochester, and being a peculiar of the archbishop, is as such in the deanry of Shoreham.

¶The church is dedicated to St. Peter. Under an arch on the north side of it, there is a tomb of free stone, having on it a very antient figure at full length of a man in armour, ornamented with a rich belt, sword and dagger, his head resting on two cushions, and a lion at his feet, over his whole breast are his arms, viz. A lion rampant, ermine, double queued. This is by most supposed to be the tomb of Sir Thomas Cawne, who married Lora, daughter and heir of Sir Thomas Morant. He was originally extracted from Staffordshire: he probably died without issue, and his widow remarried with James Peckham, esq. of Yaldham. His arms, impaling those of Morant, were in one of the chancel windows of this church.

The rectory is valued in the king's books at 15l. 16s. 8d. and the yearly tenths at 1l. 11s. 8d. It is now of the yearly value of about 200l.

The patronage of this rectory seems to have been always accounted an appendage to the manor of Ightham, as such it is now the property of Richard James, esq. of Ightham-court.

Leeds & County Liberal Club Blue Plaque by John

The Leeds and County Liberal Club was built in 1890 and is now a Grade 2 listed building. Hidden in the heart of Leeds this wonderful Victorian building has a beautiful terracotta frontage, oak panelling and staircase, plus five heraldic stained glass windows.

“Returning along St Pauls Street, Quebec Street has another fine example of terra cotta, on the former Leeds County Liberal Club, very red, highly decorative pillars and surface-filling designs of grotesqued lions' heads, wreaths and plants.”

Taken from “A Sculpture Walk in Leeds” by Bob Speel at:

myweb.tiscali.co.uk/speel/place/leedwalk.htm

The building was designed by Chorley and Connon. William Gladstone made speeches from the corner balcony to the public gathered in Quebec Street below. The Blue Plaque on the building reads: “From Parliamentary and Municipal reform in the 1830s to 1894 The Liberal Party dominated Politics in Leeds. This splendid club in Welsh terracotta opened in 1891. Crowds were addressed from its balcony ‘on occasions of political excitement’. Chorley & Connon Architects”

Previously known as Quebec House, it was owned in the 1970s by Norwich Union and later became known as National Employers House. Since 2001 the Leeds and County Liberal Club has been Quebecs, a boutique hotel of 45 rooms, run by the Eton Collection.

Quebec Street was created in 1872 and named in honour of General Wolfe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Wolfe) who captured Quebec in Canada in 1759 but was killed in action at the Battle of the Plains of Abraham.

The Leeds and County Liberal Club was opened by Sir James Kitson on 12 March 1890.

An interesting aside to the Leeds and County Liberal Club, is the story of Leonora Cohen, the wife of Henry Cohen a member of the club. Leonora joined the Leeds Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU), the organisation founded by Emmeline Pankhurst in 1903 that believed in direct action, but she played a largely supportive role until she was incensed by H. H. Asquith, the Liberal Prime Minister and arch antisuffragist, breaking his commitment to women by announcing a Manhood Suffrage Bill to give all adult males the right to vote that she was almost overnight seized by a Votes for Women passion.

This culminated in her actions on 1st February 1913, when she produced an iron bar from under her coat in Tower of London and smashed a display case containing insignia of the Order of Merit. Her courage and articulacy when she conducted her own defence in the ensuing court case won her much admiration. When an expert witness, that her husband Henry helped her to find, stated that the cost of repairs would only be £4 10s, it enabled the jury to acquit her because it could not be proven that she had caused damage exceeding £5.

Following this she continued to take part in protests and eventually was sent to Armley Prison on remand. Here she went on hunger strike and then thirst strike. When she became very ill and weak she was released under the “Cat and Mouse Act” that allowed Hunger Strikers to be temporarily released until they recovered their strength. Henry then informed the authorities that if they re-arrested Leonara then he would not receive her back next time, and the authorities would be responsible for her death. He also at this time moved the family to Harrogate, where Leonora, a vegetarian, ran a Reform Food Boarding Establishment.

When the First World War broke out Leonora worked in a munitions factory in Leeds and joined the General and Municipal Workers Union in which she played an active part organising worker petitions and a three-day strike.

After the war, in 1918 women over 30 were given the right to vote. Leonora went on to become the first woman President of the Yorkshire Federations of Trades Councils in 1923 and the following became a magistrate, one of the first women appointed to the bench. She was JP for 25 years and received an OBE for services to public life in the mid-1920s.

Leonora had a second wind of fame when in the 1970 a new wave of feminism arose. She took part in interviews and ads to publicise a new BBC tv series, Shoulder to Shoulder, based on Sylvia Pankhurst’s book “The Suffrage Movement”.

Leonora was born in June 1873 and died in 1978. She lived at 2 Claremont Villas, Clarendon Road in Leeds for thirteen years, where a blue plaque commemorates her life.

Why It’s a Privilege to be a Progressive in 2013 | NationofChange by gendojohn

I'm pleased by the clarity and concision of the following article from the Nation of Change website:

Why It’s a Privilege to be a Progressive in 2013 | NationofChange.

But I just can't help attempting an answer to the question asked at the end of the article, and which is, I think, important:

Research shows that conservatives will "rationalize away social inequalities in order to justify the status quo." They are orderly and moralistic and dependent on authority. Liberals, on the other hand, are more open to new ideas and experiences, probably because they have more of the gray matter that helps to manage complexity in the thought processes.

But if we're so smart..

..Why do we lose the wars of language and emotion to the conservatives?

[caption id="" align="alignleft" width="200"] English: Anterior cingulate gyrus.[/caption]

First, I should say that I don't believe that liberals are "losing the wars of of language and emotion to the conservatives." In general, I sense that the daft, over-simplified kind of thinking that leads to, say, the denial of global climate change or ludicrous pronunciamentos regarding women and pregnancy, is slowly being exposed for what it is: junk thought that everyone ought to ignore.

But why is there such a polarized disconnect? I'm not a social science expert, but I can only imagine that whole galaxies of reasons exist. What I'm fascinated by, however, are neurological explanations. Using science in this way is certainly no more than conjectural exercise, but a compellingly consistent picture of neural diversity is being painted that we ought to pay attention to.

We could look, for example, at some fascinating research that has been done correlating brain structure and political attitudes. Summarizing one study, Joshua Holland writes:

Looking at MRIs of a large sample of young adults last year, researchers at University College London discovered that “greater conservatism was associated with increased volume of the right amygdala” ( $$). The amygdala is an ancient brain structure that's activated during states of fear and anxiety. (The researchers also found that “greater liberalism was associated with increased gray matter volume in the anterior cingulate cortex” – a region in the brain that is believed to help people manage complexity.)

Additional studies corroborate and replicate this connection, suggesting why it is, particularly from a liberal point of view, political conservatives seem to think re-actively rather than rationally, simplistically rather than complexly.

If liberals are losing the culture wars, it is not because liberal thought is somehow inherently flawed. It is because brain structure leads to ideology, and--to take that idea to the next, wildly over-simplified level--that means some of us are born with a neural morphology that leads to--well, a desire to join the NRA or the Tea Party.

If this were true (and it's a big "if"), then liberals, if they are to remain loyal to their social values, should stop condemning conservatives for their lack of empathy, or for their refusal to acknowledge the actual complexity of our social and environmental problems, or for their unwillingness to develop truly thoughtful, equitable, nuanced proposals for social change. The conservative brain that produces reactionary, black-and-white bloviating, is just another form of neural diversity. Conservatives are complete, whole, and perfect just as they are--just as are blacks, illegal aliens, Muslims, the disabled, the gay, the transgendered, women, and so on. If liberals wish to consistently champion and celebrate the inherent worth of human racial, religious, sexual, and gender diversity, then they must also celebrate the neural diversity of their conservative brothers and sisters.

But there's a catch.

Celebrating, rather than condemning, some forms of neural diversity would be liberals' ineluctable choice, were it not for another fact of neuroscience: neuroplasticity. You see, neural diversity exists in an enormous range of forms in part because brain structure is not a static thing. And changes to its form and function occur to a greater degree and at a faster pace than most people realize.

For example, numerous studies have shown a strong correlation between changes in brain structure and the deliberate attempt to cultivate positive thoughts (as in metta meditation) or in the "open monitoring" practice of mindfulness. Those changes result in reduced amygdala density and correspond to a reduction in stress rumination, as well as in a thickening of those portions of the brain responsible for higher order thinking skills, empathy, and self-regulation. In other words, the brain responds, functionally and structurally, to predominant mental activity. As an aside, I have to mention in regard to the "higher order thinking skills" mentioned in this paragraph, the irony of the Texas GOP's explicit opposition to "the teaching of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS)" which it viewed as "simply a relabeling of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) (mastery learning) which focus on behavior modification and have the purpose of challenging the student’s fixed beliefs and undermining parental authority." In other words, obedience is preferred over independent thinking.

Never mind, that the "founding fathers," whom conservatives consistently revere, were highly independent, literally revolutionary, thinkers--and they produced the country that conservatives always claim to be defending.

The bottom line, therefore, is that the field of liberal tolerance does not have to include shoddy thinking just because it is born of another form of diversity. It should, however, encourage meditation and mindfulness practices as a way to improve one's outlook, one's health, and one's willingness to be good to others. In this, I think, there is still room for conservative thought, perhaps the most conservative thought of all: cease from callousness to harmful behaviors, cultivate wholesome intentions, and act in ways that will benefit everyone.

Catedral de la Almudena,Madrid,España. by Catedrales e Iglesias/Cathedrals and Churches

CATEDRAL DE LA ALMUDENA

Arquitecto: MARQUÉS DE CUBAS, 1879-1892

ENRIQUE MARIA REPULLÉS, 1900-1916

Calle Mayor, 90

Al carecer Madrid de Catedral, nuestro antepasados del último tercio del siglo XIX se plantearon la necesidad de construirla. El lugar elegido no presentaba duda: sería enfrente del Palacio Real, donde la habían proyectado los arquitectos del Rey como Sacchetti, Sabatini o Silvestre Pérez.

Tras el fracaso de la I República y la vuelta al trono de la Casa de Borbón, en la persona de Alfonso XII, la Iglesia recuperó la fuerza que el liberalismo le había recortado y gran parte de las propiedades que habían sido expropiadas por sucesivos gobiernos anticlericales, desde el reinado de José Bonaparte hasta la Revolución de 1868.

A lo largo del siglo XIX, Madrid se había transformado en una hermosa ciudad gracias a la utilización de los conventos desamortizados por parte del poder civil, para abrir plazas en una trama urbana demasiado compacta, y para albergar organismos del Estado.

La Universidad Central se instaló en el antiguo Noviciado de los jesuitas, el Senado en el Colegio agustino de María de Aragón y el Congreso de Diputados en la iglesia del Espíritu Santo.

El mercado de Los Mostenses se abrió sobre el solar dejado por el convento de Premostratenses y el mercado de San Miguel sobre la derribada iglesia de San Miguel de los Octoes. La Catedral que se disponían a levantar los aristócratas de La Restauración Borbonica hubiera sido, de llevarse a buen término, un bello ejemplar de revival gótico, en plena Revolución Industrial.

Sin embargo, aquella catedral proyectada por el Marqués de Cubas, el arquitecto más prolífico de aquella época, no pudo construirse porque tras los primeros momentos de euforia, cuando nuevos y viejos ricos aportaron considerables sumas para la obra, llegaron las dificultades financieras, debidas a la falta de continuidad en las nuevas entregas de dinero por parte de los fieles.

Tras el rápido crecimiento económico del período 1876-1886, conocido como la 'fiebre del oro", que coincidió con el nacimiento de la idea de la Catedral de la Almudena, vinieron años de crisis y tan sólo la Cripta avanzó lo suficiente para mantener la unidad de estilo, resultando un ejemplo magnífico de la interpretación que del románico hicieron los arquitectos Francisco de Cubas y Enrique María Repullés.

Cuando comenzaron las obras de la nueva Catedral de Madrid, frente a la Plaza de la Armería, fue preciso derribar viejos barracones militares de la Guardia Real y trazar de nuevo la Cuesta de la Vega, que aún conservaba el aire medieval, debido a las tortuosas y empinadas rampas que ascendían desde las huertas del Puente de Segovia hasta las puertas abiertas sobre los restos de la muralla árabe.

Las escelentes relaciones de Francisco de Cuba, con las autoridades eclesiásticas permitieron al arquitecto, que militaba en la llamada Unión Conservadora, recibir muy numerosos encargos de iglesias y conventos, aunque el más importante, sin duda, sería éste de la nueva Catedral de la Almudena.

¿Por qué el estilo gótico para una catedral moderna? Los arquitectos occidentales del siglo XIX se inspiraron en el romanticismo de la época medieval. Los nazarenos alemanes pintaron en los estilos de la baja Edad Media, el escritor escocés Walter Scott recreó en Ivanhoe o Quintin Durward un pasado medieval de legendarias aventuras, los pintores ingleses de la Hermandad prerrafaelista rechazaron la pintura del renacimiento y barroco, para volver al arte anterior a Rafael de Urbino.

En arquitectura, el ejemplo más brillante del estilo neo-gótico del XIX fue el Parlamento de Londres, a orilla del Támesis, proyectado por Barry y Pugin y construido entre 1836 y 1860. Era lógico, por lo tanto, que el marqués de Cubas eligiese también el gótico para su romántico sueño, en el que veía una catedral de afiladas agujas de piedra apuntando hacia el cielo de Madrid.

Del espléndido conjunto proyectado por Cubas tan sólo se realizó una mínima parte: la Cripta, lugar de enterramiento de las grandes familias que en un principio se pensó también para albergar el sepulcro de la llorada reina Mercedes, prima y esposa de Alfonso XII, fallecida en 1878, cuando tan sólo contaba 18 años. Los restos de la reina Mercedes descansan en el Panteón de El Escorial, aunque aún no se ha olvidado aquella primitiva idea y se conserva la capilla funeraria en la

Cripta de la Almudena, en el lado de poniente, la única zona que recibe luz natural por elevarse sobre el Campo del Moro.

La imagen gótica que Cubas propuso para la catedral, sobre la cripta de estilo románico, tenía pináculos y agujas, entre las que destacaba la central, sobre el crucero, inspirada en la catedral de Reims.

Sobre la Cripta quedaron, durante más de medio siglo, las primeras piedras de los muros y pilares. Fueron languideciendo las obras bajo la dirección de famosos arquitectos como Enrique M. Repullés, el autor de la Bolsa de Comercio, quien tan sólo pudo terminar esta Cripta, dibujando más de cien capiteles románicos distintos con temas de plantas, animales, castillos y asombrosas figuras geométricas, en un ejercicio de imaginación desbordante.

Tras la victoria de las tropas dirigidas por Franco en la Guerra Civil se convocó un concurso para terminar definitivamente la catedral, resultando ganadores Carlos Sidro y Fernando Chueca Goitia, que plantearon un exterior clasicista, mientras que mantenían para el interior los pilares nervados y las bóvedas de aguja del gótico. Esta doble piel resultó muy difícil de resolver a pesar del esfuerzo de diseño del arquitecto Chueca Goitia, interesado en crear una imagen coherente con el barroco clasicista, de inspiración piamontesa, del Palacio Real.

Con el Alcalde Enrique Tierno Galván el impulso político y económico fue suficiente para concluir la cúpula sobre el transepto. Por fin, en mayo de 1993 la Catedral fue consagrada por el Papa Juan Pablo II en un acto inolvidable para los fieles madrileños.

La fachada de la catedral fue lo primero que se terminó, en 1960, definiendo el espacio entre el templo y la Plaza de la Armería, con una columnata sobre la entrada que a muchos críticos ha parecido excesiva para cubrir un espacio que no tiene uso alguno, ni siquiera el de iluminar la nave central de la iglesia.

El que la Catedral se encuentre tan mal relacionada con la calle Bailén es un problema que viene de antiguo. A lo largo de los siglos el entorno del Alcázar madrileño, luego Palacio Real, había sido un caos de callejuelas, desmontes y barracones militares de la Guardia Real. El trazado de la calle Bailén es del siglo XIX, cuando se pensó continuar hasta la basílica de San Francisco por un Viaducto que cruzase el barranco de la calle de Segovia. Las dependencias arzobispales anejas a la Catedral merecen un acabado coherente con el conjunto que forme una fachada unitaria en este lugar simbólico de la historia madrileña.

ITM1891602 Boats moored at Gladstone Marina, 1991 by Queensland State Archives

1990 heralded a new decade with momentous change and significant events unfolding internationally and at home in Queensland. German reunification was achieved following the ‘fall’ of the Berlin Wall in November 1989. The Baltic states of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia in turn declared their independence from the Soviet Union. Nelson Mandela was released after 27 years of imprisonment in South Africa, and Margaret Thatcher resigned as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom after more than 11 years in office. British computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee created the first web server and web browser, and the Hubble Space Telescope was launched from the space shuttle ‘Discovery’.

The Australian Labor Party’s federal election campaign was launched in Brisbane in early March before Prime Minister Bob Hawke’s government was returned later that month for a historic fourth term. Andrew Peacock resigned the leadership of the federal Liberal Party after the election defeat and was replaced by Dr John Hewson. Earlier in March, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission (ATSIC) was founded. The inaugural Cape York Aboriginal Land Conference took place at Lockhart River in September, leading to the formation of the Cape York Land Council.

The nation’s first women Premiers were sworn into office this year, firstly Western Australia’s Carmen Lawrence in February followed by Victoria’s Joan Kirner in August. On the day of Kirner’s swearing in, the Hawke government announced Australia would join the international naval blockade of Iraq in the Persian Gulf. A specially convened ALP national conference in September endorsed the privatisation of Qantas and other assets, ahead of deregulation of the domestic aviation market in November. Near that month’s end, Treasurer Paul Keating declared Australia was enduring “the recession we had to have”.

The 1990s was a decade of transformation as infrastructure connected the state, the Internet changed how we worked and Agro was a prime-time star. These photographic highlights come from a collection of thousands of images captured by Transport and Main Roads, documenting the plans, programs and growth of Queensland throughout the decade.

Find this series in our catalogue: www.archivessearch.qld.gov.au/series/S20086

The Transport and Main Roads Visual Resource Library collection contains over 200.000 photographs and other resources from the 1920’s to 2005 from the many and varied road, transport and maritime departments over that time. It is mostly the work of the Photographic Branch and Graphic Reproduction Services Unit between the 1930s and the 1990s. Photographers Les Dixon, Bob Reid, Ian Williams, Murray Waite and Ray Burgress recorded works and events of the Department.

Subjects covered include road construction projects, environmental science, road fittings, public transport and road users, people at work, community engagement, official openings, sod turnings, new structures (bridges, dams and Queensland University), awards, department initiatives, safety campaigns, exhibitions and displays.
