There are rules about making things beautiful... you have to want to do the maintanence with devoted regularity. Bless you Ronnie for being a beacon of pride and decency and doing the right thing. I thought the light did justice to your beautiful car at the break of a new day. This is a lovely face.
There was this movie, and some nice folks decided to remove the title and instead use this free space for a call to decency.

Great blossom trees in the front yard of this picturesque church. They didn't have the decency to stand still in the wind though, so the HDR is somewhat head-ache inducing unfortunately. Liked the sky though!
I've had the longest day.
pretty much the longest week. being a student full time & working as much as you can is tough business.
i've been thinking a lot about this quote lately.
not about the blind part, but the part where it's insinuating we choose who we hate and who we don't. I wish it was so easy to just "turn off" hatred.
not asking for "world peace", just some decency
listen to this. you won't regret it.
Someone pushed. Or bumped. That person did not have the common decency to pick the bikes up again. To do so would be admission of wrong-doing, and the resultant loss of face would be unthinkable for many. Its an odd country, I sometimes think to myself.
Tallinn's Old Town was, in fact, two different towns: the Lower Town â free center of Hanseatic trade â and the Toompea hill, or Upper Town â the place of concentration of feudal power and the influence of distant governments, which Estonians had to obey. The interests of these two parts were different and sometimes mutually exclusive, but they had to coexist somehow even without having any warm feelings towards each other. And if in light of day it was possible to observe decency basically, nighttime awakened the eternal desire to plunder in the nobles of Toompea, or the Upper Town. So, the lower town of merchants and craftsmen had to fence itself off with a stone wall and a powerful gate â and not only from the "outer" lands, but also from its upper neighbor, and every night, just in case, the gate was locked.
This is why on the left side of Pikk jalg (Long Leg street) there is a tower with a small oak gate leading to the street Ljuhike jalg (Short Leg street). This door clearly shows who was afraid of whom: the heads of forged rivets, which made it harder to destruct the door, are turned towards the Upper Town, while the deadbolt is on the Lower Town side.
The tower was built in 1456 and is reputed to be one of the most haunted buildings in Old Town. The wooden door is original from the 17th century.

Seems like they just let go of any outward sense of respect and decency, except the fancy cars. Wouldn't living in an apartment be better?

What is there to say? Trump's election as President of the United States is a triumph of stupidity over reason, ignorance or knowledge, lies over facts, decency over base passion, fear over peace, and bigotry over tolerance. The people who voted for this excuse for a man are beyond contempt. This is my response.

The Postcard
A postcard that was published by the Gibson Art Company of Cinncinnati. The card was posted using a one cent stamp on Friday the 22nd. June 1917. It was sent to:
Mrs. A. A. Merryfield,
Kezar Falls,
Maine.
The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"I wish you a Happy
Birthday.
I wish you could be here
or I could come down
there.
Love to you and Florence,
From
Iola."
Kezar Falls
Lying a few miles southeast of the White Mountain National Forest border, Kezar Falls is an unmarked local spot with a modest-sized gorge and a few small waterfalls. The site has a dark rust-colored pool below the falls.
Kezar Falls doesn't really offer much out of the ordinary, but it makes a fine place to read, picnic, or engage in any other relaxing activity. Locals say that this area is a favorite party spot for young adults during the late hours of the day, but the site shows little evidence of this.
The Arrest of Lucy Burns
So what else happened on the day that Iola posted the card?
Well, on the 22nd. June 1917, police in Washington, D.C., arrested Lucy Burns, a prominent member of the suffragist protest group Silent Sentinels, for obstructing traffic.
She was holding a banner quoting U.S. President Woodrow Wilson's speech to United States Congress:
"We shall fight for the things which we
have always carried nearest our hearts—
for democracy, for the right of those
who submit to authority to have a voice
in their own governments."
The charges were later dropped.
Kristian Zahrtmann
The day also marked the death of the Danish painter Kristian Zahrtmann. Kristian was a member of the realism and naturalism movements in Denmark.
Peder Henrik Kristian Zahrtmann was part of the Danish artistic generation in the late 19th. century, along with Peder Severin Krøyer and Theodor Esbern Philipsen; they broke away from both the strictures of traditional Academicism and the heritage of the Golden Age of Danish Painting, in favor of naturalism and realism.
Zahrtmann was known especially for his history paintings, and especially those depicting strong, tragic, legendary women in Danish history.
He also produced works of many other genres including landscapes, street scenes, folk scenes and portraits.
Zahrtmann had a far-reaching effect on the development of Danish art through his effective support of individual style among his students during the many years he taught.
In addition, his bold use of color dazzled contemporaries and has been seen as an anticipation of Expressionism by art historians.
-- Kristian Zahrtmann - The Early Years
Zahrtmann was born in Rønne, Denmark, on the island of Bornholm to chief doctor for the island Carl Vilhelm Zahrtmann (1810–1896) and wife Laurine Pouline Jespersen (1822–1918).
He was the eldest child among seven boys and two girls. After graduating from Rønne Realskole at 17 years of age, Zahrtmann was sent to Sorø Academy, where he studied painting with landscape painter Hans Harder.
He was often a guest at the home of the Academy's Director, poet Bernhard Severin Ingemann and his wife, where he had the chance to socialize with teachers of the school and other guests, such as Hans Christian Andersen.
Zahrtmann graduated in 1862, and received his Cand. Phil. in 1863. During these years he lived with a family whose daughter was a painter, and this inspired him also to try his luck as an artist.
After graduating, Zahrtmann came to Copenhagen, where during the winter of 1863–1864 he studied drawing at the Technical Institute under Christian Hetsch and architect Ferdinand Vilhelm Jensen.
Zahrtmann then began his studies in October 1864 at the Royal Danish Academy of Art. Classmates included August Jerndorff, Peder Severin Krøyer, and Rasmus Frederik Hendriksen.
-- Kristian Zahrtmann's Early Artistic Career
Zahrtmann graduated from the Academy in 1868, and exhibited for the first time at Charlottenborg the following year with A Young Girl Being Confirmed on Bornholm.
He exhibited regularly at Charlottenborg from 1869–1891, and sporadically afterwards.
He became friends with painter Otto Haslund and Pietro Købke Krohn, later Museum Director, with whom he shared a studio.
-- Leonora Christina and Other Historical Subjects
Zahrtmann had already become interested in the story of the heroic 17th. century daughter of a Danish king, Leonora Christina Ulfeldt, before the 1869 posthumous publication of her 1674 autobiographical narrative Remembrance of Misery, which he received as a birthday gift.
Countess Leonora Christina of Schleswig-Holstein, King Christian IV's daughter by his morganatic love marriage to a noble Danish maiden, had fallen from grace because of her husband Corfits Ulfeldt's high treason.
She was then imprisoned for 22 years in the Blue Tower in Copenhagen Castle, and spent her final years in the solitude of the Maribo Cloister.
Zahrtmann commemorated her story in a series of 18 large paintings over many years.
The first of these paintings was made public in 1871, Castle Keeper Banters with Women in the Chamber of the King's Daughter in the Blue Tower.
The painting won him a Neuhausen Prize, was sold to Niels Laurits Høyen's influential Art Union, and was followed by a series of other paintings on the same theme. These paintings established his reputation as one of the leading artists of his time.
At the same time Kristian explored other motifs, although Leonora Christina was an obsession that followed him throughout life. In 1872 he made a portrait of Georg Brandes, who summered near Zahrtmann at Christiansholm near Klampenborg north of Copenhagen.
In 1873 he won another Neuhausen Prize for Sigbrit Reviews Tax Accounts with Christian II, and exhibited a preparatory painting for Job and His Friends, which won him the Academy's gold medallion in 1887.
In 1873 he also painted Scene from the Court of Christian VII 1772 in order to retell the tragic story of Queen Caroline Matilda on the centennial of the fall of Johann Friedrich Struensee. Characteristically for Zahrtmann, he made several other paintings over the years depicting the story of these individuals.
-- Kristian Zahrtmann's Travels
Zahrtmann tried to extract a travel stipend from the Academy three times, which should have been due him as winner of the large gold medal, but the funds were not forthcoming until two years later. Zahrtmann spent the summer of 1873 at Hornbæk in the company of fellow painters Peder Severin Krøyer and Viggo Johansen.
Zahrtmann finally traveled to Italy in December 1875 with financing from his father, before he received a travel grant from the Academy.
Between 1875 and 1878 he resided in Italy (Rome, Siena, Amalfi and Saracinesco), where he produced a number of paintings.
Kristian later returned to Italy many times, including in 1882–1884. He was fascinated by everyday life there, by the strong Italian sun, the vivid colors, and the exotic splendor of Roman Catholic Church rites which he depicted in many paintings.
In June 1883, Zahrtmann traveled for the first time to Civita d'Antino, a mountain town which he came to consider to be his second home.
Between 1890 and 1911 he spent every summer in Civita d'Antino, living with the Cerroni family and gathering friends and students in an annual artist colony. He was named an honorary citizen of the town in 1902.
Zahrtmann also traveled to Greece several times, as well as to France and Portugal.
Zahrtmann exhibited at the World's Exhibition in Paris in 1878, 1889, and 1900, and in Chicago in 1893. He won a bronze medallion at the World Exhibition in Paris in 1900.
-- Kristian Zahrtmann's Teaching Career
Kunstnernes Frie Studieskoler was established in the winter of 1882 – 1883 as a protest against the Art Academy's policies and as an alternative to its educational program.
Zahrtmann taught at the school from 1885 to 1908. In 1893 he became the leader of its preparatory class, which under him turned into an independent department. He had some 200 students from the Scandinavian countries.
Because of his prominence as a teacher, the school was often simply referred to as "Zahrtmann’s School".
He also helped establish the "Free Exhibition," an alternative exhibition space, which opened in 1891.
-- Kristian Zahrtmann's Later Artistic Career
Zahrtmann made a number of portraits of his parents, including one of his father in 1887, and one of his mother, who played a significant role in his life, in 1899–1901.
These, as well as a large format painting of both parents in their living room from 1895 to 1901, are in the collection of the Bornholm Art Museum.
In 1900 Kristian overwintered in Portofino where he painted the color-drenched landscapes Harbour in Portofino, 1900 and My Lunch Table in Portofino, 1900.
-- Kristian Zahrtmann's Homoerotic Works
Later in life, Zahrtmann produced a number of paintings of nude men, including Prometheus (1906), Socrates and Alkibiades (1907, 1911), and Adam in Paradise (in two versions, 1913–14).
In an era that was still shaken by the Great Scandinavian Sexual Morality Debate of the outgoing 19th. century, these works were immediately criticised as scandalous violations of public decency.
The treatment of Adam is particularly provocative, with its vital, young, muscular Adam casually concealing his manhood with a sprig of fig leaves while leaning back in a lush, vividly colored botanic paradise. His legs are apart, and the snake arched halfway up his leg is darting its tongue.
Museums primly declined to purchase these homoerotic works, and most are still in private hands. Zahrtmann never married, and in Copenhagen he was rumored to enjoy cross-dressing.
-- Kristian Zahrtmann's Self-Portraits
Zahrtmann also painted a number of self-portraits in his later years, including one painted in 1913 that is considered one of his finest works. It is in the collection of the National Historic Museum at Frederiksborg Palace.
-- Kristian Zahrtmann's House and a Documentary
Zahrtmann bought land on Fuglebakken in Frederiksberg and built a house, which was designed by Hans Koch and Zahrtmann himself. He called the house "Casa d’Antino," and moved in during the autumn of 1912.
Zahrtmann appeared in a 1913 silent-era documentary film about himself entitled Kristian Zahrtmann, which was directed by Sophus Wangøe.
-- Kristian Zahrtmann's Death and Legacy
In June 1917 Kristian was hospitalized with appendicitis. After an apparent improvement his condition worsened, and he died at the age of 74 on the 22nd. June in Frederiksberg. He was laid to rest in Vestre Cemetery, Copenhagen.
A relief with the theme of "Leonora Christina Leaves the Prison" decorates his grave. The relief was drawn by architect Thorvald Bindesbøll and painter Joakim Skovgaard, and was carved from Bornholm granite by Larsen Stevns.
In Civita d’Antino a memorial plaque was set into the wall of the Cerroni house near the town gate. A monument with a statue of Zahrtmann was erected on the open plaza in front of his house, and the plaza is named after him.
Numerous paintings by Zahrtmann became available to the public when the Imago Museum opened in Pescara in 2021.
A portrait of Kristian by Vilhelm Hammershøi (1899) is found in the Hirschsprung Collection.

JOURNEY OF THE JEDI #13 OF 25
Imbalance in The Force
When Anakin Skywalker turned to the dark side, his inherent instincts for decency and mercy became completely submerged. With grim finality, he sought out his fellow Jedi and slaughtered them without a second thought. These dramatic actions created a keenly-felt imbalance in the Force, a sense of elemental disruption that could only be quelled by Anakin's eventual redemption. Luke Skywalker provided the emotional impetus for that years later, restoring galactic balance once again.
The fact that I had to take these pictures pisses me off beyond belief. We were walking to the car to run some errands and do some wedding registry stuff (Yay!)
However when we were walking by the swimming pool area we saw these two chairs situated as a step-stool for people to get over the fence and either into or out of the pool area. In the past we have also seen the gate jimmied in such a way that it won’t latch. There are children that live/play in our complex. The last thing that needs to happen is one of these children to get into the pool area and have some sort of accident. It bothers me that people just don’t have common sense or enough respect to follow the posted rules or the law of common sense to latch the gate and not place items close to the fence line.
What is our world coming to?
When did people lose self respect and common decency?
We have mentioned it to the office. We were glad to know that we we’re the only ones to say something. Only time will what will happen with these people.

Jimmy Carter (born 1924)
When Americans elected Jimmy Carter in 1976, they were voting for a positive change in executive leadership. Burdened by escalating costs of living and tired of recent scandal-ridden politics, they saw Carter as a fresh new face who would make, in his words, government “as good as the American people.” A born-again Christian, Carter touted his human decency to heal the divisions of post-Vietnam American society while also promising to fix the economy. Stemming high inflation, however, proved to be harder than he had predicted. Nor could he do much to ease the ongoing energy crisis, instigated by the cartel of oil producing nations, and characterized by a shortage of gas for consumers at the pumps and high costs for home heating oil. In 1978, Carter successfully brokered a landmark peace accord between Egypt and Israel, but the Iranian hostage crisis of 1979, spurred by the U.S. support of the unpopular Shah of Iran, crippled the last year of his administration. He lost a reelection bid to Ronald Reagan in 1980.
In this portrait by Robert Templeton, Carter is shown standing in the oval office, as it was during his tenure. The donkey statuette on his desk was a gift from the Democratic National Committee.

Back in the mid-1990's I needed an apartment, but the rental market was insanely competitive. I made an appointment to see an apt. in this building. It was really cute with a corner bench kitchen table. But the landlady was quite batty. I told her I wanted to sign a lease, she said great. However, the people who came in ahead of me were still there and protested that she had already promised it to them and they were signing a lease. I let it go not so much out of human decency, but out of fear of having an absent-minded landlord.
The next week I got the Sunday paper on Saturday night, made an appointment for a place a block from Fahey's. The landlord said I seemed like a nice girl so he canceled the rest of his appointments and let me sign on the spot. I had no remorse.

Naches (1947) dir. Ernst Lubitsch.
Jack Benny stars as Maxwell, a retired widower and a fixture of Chicago's Douglas Park neighborhood. Taking place over a single day, this largely plotless film follows Maxwell's interactions with his neighbors as they look for a missing cat, shop for the right pair of candlesticks, and attend a wedding reception. Deceptively simple, the film's quotidian concerns are shot through with Lubitsch's sophistication and elegance, while Benny creates an unforgettable portrait out of small gestures and turns of phrase. Made up of Benny and Lubitsch's memories growing up Jewish in Chicago and Berlin, Naches is an unassuming epic of profound decency and kindness.
During his working visit to Chernivtsi, the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with students of Yuriy Fedkovych Chernivtsi National University, Bukovinian State Medical University and Chernivtsi Institute of Trade and Economic of State University of Trade and Economics.
The Head of State spoke with Ukrainian youth about our country, its future, and the work on the analogy of the Marshall Plan for Ukraine. The President said that the main issue of this plan is the restoration of Ukraine: its energy, technology, and economy. According to preliminary estimates, this will require about $700 billion. However, the amount is not final.
"We do not know the real amounts because the war is not over yet. When it is over, we will analyze everything. Basically, the partners agree that everyone will help rebuild Ukraine, that the amounts are, let's say, understandable and affordable. Let's believe in the decency of our partners and hope that they will accept what they say and not just say it," he noted.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy is also confident that Ukraine will become a member of the EU and NATO in the coming years.
"NATO is our external defense and, of course, the best security commitment. But I am also convinced that we will strengthen our internal defense. We will strengthen our security at the borders, in the cities, in the communities. In the future, there will be a completely different approach to both security and construction," the President of Ukraine said.
The Head of State added that once the war is over, our country will also pursue the development of various areas of education: medicine, psychology, security, and construction.
Ukraine will need specialists in these fields.
Today I came across a cool story of a Canadian climber who sacrificed getting to the summit of K5 in order to help the Pakistani porter who was ill and who was not part of his group. Here is the heart warming story that should demonstrate the common decency we should all have towards our fellow human beings.

"Susitna" is an Indian word meaning "sandy river". The original spelling included an "H", which has been removed in the interest of common decency.
News.com.au ran a story about Banksy today. News.com.au didn't even have the decency to check all the artwork was actually by Banksy, let alone credit the photos to their respective photographers.
If this is your photo, you should write to News.com.au and complain.

Incentive Structures, Duties, and Decency in the Financial Crisis of 2007 and Beyond
My brother Fred was a teenager when I was born. I saved him from being the baby of the family and in return he changed my diapers and babysat me when our parents went out. We were very different yet much the same. He could never understand how I could live in the city and I could never understand why he moved North. In common, we both carried our Mother's dedication to family and treating other people with charity, decency and respect.
Supporters of Sen. Joseph McCarthy (R-WI) produced this matchbook circa 1953 at a time when the senator was under fire for his baseless accusations and smears charging that the U.S. government was rife with communists.
Joseph R. McCarthy was born in Grand Chute, Wisconsin, November 14, 1908, on his Irish Catholic parents' dairy farm. A restless student, he dropped out of high school at sixteen to start his own poultry farm on land he had rented from a friend.
After a brutal winter killed all his flock, he returned to school in 1929, focused and determined to graduate with his class, which required completing four years of course work in half that time. In 1930, he enrolled in Marquette University and developed a reputation as a card shark and heavyweight boxer.
After earning a law degree in 1935 (financed by gambling winnings and wages from odd jobs), he returned home to open his practice and begin a career in politics.
When McCarthy lost his first campaign as the Democratic nominee for district attorney, he decided to seek a nonpartisan position. He soon sought a circuit judgeship and challenged a twenty-year incumbent who dismissed McCarthy as a long shot, an unelectable rookie.
McCarthy campaigned with a vengeance and over the course of the election deliberately inflated his opponent's age and salary. His tactics worked and, in 1937, the twenty-nine year old McCarthy became the youngest judge in Wisconsin history.
Five years later, even though his service on the bench excluded him for military service, McCarthy joined the Marines, hoping that his combat experience would enhance his political stature.
As an intelligence officer stationed in the Pacific, he spent the war debriefing pilots after they returned from bombing raids over Japan.
Yet, when he returned to campaign at home, he transformed himself into "tail-gunner Joe," the battle-scarred veteran who survived hazardous missions over Japanese-held territory and, in the process, "fired more bullets than any marine in history" during his fourteen (a figure he later changed to seventeen and then thirty-two) engagements with the enemy.
To prove his courage, he asked to receive (and was awarded) the Distinguished Flying Cross.
Capitalizing on his war record, McCarthy narrowly defeated the overconfident Senator Robert La Follette in the 1946 Republican senatorial primary and assailed his Democratic opponent, Howard McMurray, as a man so desperate for election that he would accept communist support.
The baseless charge worked. McCarthy trounced McMurray and, in 1947, became the junior U.S. senator from Wisconsin.
He quickly alienated his colleagues (especially after he tried to court the German-American vote by criticizing the prosecution of Nazis accused of slaughtering American troops during the Battle of the Bulge) and he soon feared that he could not be re-elected without a major issue to improve his political standing.
Consequently, on February 7, 1950, he told a group of Republican women assembled in Wheeling, West Virginia, that there was serious "communist influence" in the Truman administration, declaring, " I have here in my hand a list of 205 . . . names that were known to the Secretary of State and who nevertheless are still working and shaping the policy of the State Department."
Even though no such list existed, McCarthy's accusations gripped the media and he soon became a national figure, promoted on the covers of national news magazines.
Alleged communist infiltration of government agencies became McCarthy's political calling card. By the 1952 election, he had called Sinologist Owen Lattimore America's "top Russian spy," labeled Secretary of State George C. Marshall "a traitor," nicknamed Secretary of State Dean Acheson the "Red Dean of Fashion," attacked President Truman as a drunkard and "a son of a bitch [who] should be impeached," and repeatedly referred to Democratic nominee Adlai Stevenson as "Alger . . . I mean Adlai."
His tactics worked and, when reelected, McCarthy gained the chairmanship of the Senate Committee on Government Operations, a position he used, according to biographer David Oshinksy, "to undermine government morale, damage numerous reputations, and make America look sinister in the eyes of the world."
In 1953, McCarthy announced that he would investigate alleged communist infiltration of the U.S. Army and savaged the Army for "coddling Communists."
On March 11, 1954 McCarthy called Annie Lee Moss, a black civilian clerk in the Army Signal Corps, and accused her of having communist ties while handling classified information.
McCarthy left the hearing leaving the questioning to his hatchet-man Roy Cohn who quickly bungled the interrogation. Moss came across as an honest, victimized government worker while Cohn came across as someone caught without facts making unsubstantiated accusations in a vicious manner.
In truth, Moss handled only encrypted documents and not readable classified information. Her only contact with communists seemed to come through her former union Cafeteria Local 471, CIO.
The episode was filmed by the television show See It Now produced by renowned journalist Edward Murrow and broadcast nationwide the following week. The public began to turn against McCarthy after the show and an unflattering portrait of McCarthy broadcast the previous week by Murrow.
Disturbed by McCarthy's staccato accusations and worried that he had unjustly damaged the reputation of innocent civilians (as well as the image of the Senate), his senatorial colleagues coalesced to investigate both McCarthy and his allegations.
Agreeing with Eisenhower that televised hearings would expose the real McCarthy in a way that print coverage could not, Republican leaders decided to let the cameras inside the chambers to televise the thirty-six day Army hearings.
Forty million viewers watched the Army-McCarthy hearings and the national mood began to turn against the senator when, on June 9, 1954, the audience in the Senate Caucus room applauded army counsel Louis Welch's outburst ("Have you no sense of decency, sir?") after the senator tried to attack Welch's young assistant.
Six months later, the Senate voted 67-22 to censure McCarthy.
.
McCarthy ended his career, lonely and out of the political limelight. It was revealed later he had been a morphine addict throughout the 1940s. He died at the Bethesda Naval Hospital May 2, 1957 at age 48 from complications due to alcoholism and hepatitis.

"to protect their modesty" #Repost @women_ofhistory ・・・ A constitutional oversight that allowed women in Quebec to vote was eliminated in 1849 to 'protect women's modesty.' Of course. The constitution gave voting rights to certain people without destinction of sex so early 19th century women took advantage. And it wasn't just white women either - 27 Mohawk women from Caughnawaga cast ballots in 1825. Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish women with property in Quebec voted too. But in 1834, Quebec politician Louis-Joseph Papineau wrote: "It is revolting to see women dragged by their husbands, and daughters by their fathers, often against their will, to [vote]. Public interest, decency and the modesty of women demand that these scandals never occur." This insight into the era voices their mindset. Women would be officially unable to vote in 1849 and would not regain the vote until the next century. Photo is of a Miss Guilmartin, Montreal, QC, 1877. #womenshistorymonth

A photographic exhibition of iconic imagery by Ged Murray of 1990’s Strangeway Riots.
Her Majesty’s Prison, Manchester, aka Strangeways, was built in 1868 to house and rehabilitate a maximum of 972 prisoners from the surrounding area, mainly those on remand or serving sentences of less than five years.
One hundred and twenty two years later Strangeways held 1660 men in appalling conditions as prisoners were held, three to a cell, for up to 23 hours a day with the cells measuring 12 foot by 8 foot (3.65 by 2.44 meters).
For some years up to 1990, prision policy had been, not to house and rehabilitate, but to control and contain as prisoners suffered the daily humiliation of “slopping out.” There were repeated claims of brutality and injustice and many of the prison officers were known to have extreme right-wing sympathies.
On April 1 1990, during the Sunday service, the prisoners first seized the chapel, and then throughout that day occupied over half the prison. So began a siege and rooftop protest ended on 25 April when the final five prisoners were removed from the rooftop, making it the longest prison riot in British penal history. One prisoner was killed during the riot, and 147 prison officers and 47 prisoners were injured. Much of the prison was damaged or destroyed with the cost of repairs coming to £55 million.
The riot also sparked a series of disturbances in prisons across England, Scotland and Wales.
The British government announced a public inquiry headed by Lord Woolf.
The resulting Woolf Report which only happened as a direct result of the Strangeways Riot, was hailed as the most radical appraisal of the prison system this Century, and was to become a blueprint for the restoration of "decency and Justice into jails where conditions had become intolerable".
Prints are available for purchase.

"So not only did Norman "I'm not crazy" Osborn steal my supervillain-turned-hero scheme with the Thunderbolts, then he goes and saves the world by shooting the Skrull Empress! Unbelievable!"
"Yes, Kang has issues with Osborn as well. But Kang is of All-when, he has issues with everyone."
"Right, I mean, have you seen this guy's hair? At least I have the decency to wear a mask."
"The secrets of his hair elude even Kang."
"I could have shot the Skrull witch!"
"Of course. In many instances of the Multiverse, you did."
"Hells yeah!"
