10 HRS AGO - On bank holiday Monday we made the short trip to Chipstead in the roasting hot sun. Chipstead gave us a physical encounter, but once again the team overcame whatever was put in front of them and emerged victorious 2-1. An early goal from Danny Bassett was equalised soon after, but a free kick from Daryl Coleman deceived the Chipstead goalkeeper to give us another deserved 3 points.
We ended the month at home to Northwood – a team that could be described as our bogey side,..... Collapse

20 HRS AGO - ‘It was innocence amid war – this tiny girl who should have been enjoying her childhood trapped in this catastrophic battle’I was one of the last photographers left in Mosul during the final days of the battle to liberate the Iraqi city from Islamic State in July 2017. I have covered the humanitarian consequences of war for three decades, but the sheer horror I witnessed during this conflict felt different.There was no end to the cruelty. The stream of suicide bombs, grenades, car bombs, and snipers was relentless. People were forced to watch their loved ones die in front of them. And when civilians did reach the point of escape, Isis would use them as human shields. Continue reading... Collapse

2 DAYS AGO - Alexandra Cox and Tim Barrett respond to an article on the effect of better architecture on the prison populationRegarding the article on prisons by Oliver Wainwright (Raising the bars, G2, 2 September), as a lecturer who has taught in the US and the UK, and researched and worked in both prison systems, I groan every time one of my students asks me about the now-celebrated Halden prison in Norway. It is a challenge to teach students – and perhaps the public – about our commitment to the idea that we can design our way out of the prison problem.Thus when I saw Halden referenced in Wainwright’s article about the UK’s efforts to redesign prisons to be more rehabilitative, I noted the omission of prison abolitionist perspectives. Abolitionists argue that it may not matter how nice prisons are, they are still fundamentally oppressive institutions that sustain social and racial hierarchies and systems of political and social violence.

Jacob Rees-Mogg's slouch: how it compares to art's great recliners

9 HRS AGO - From Modigliani’s voluptuous nudes to Henry Moore’s laidback bronzes, Jacob Rees-Mogg’s now notorious slouch joins a long tradition of horizontal posingJacob Rees-Mogg appears to have sunk even lower – literally. During probably the most important Commons debate in modern history, Rees-Mogg could be seen lolling insolently on the front benches like Kevin the Teenager, if Kevin the Teenager wore double-breasted suits at least 18 sizes too big for him. When challenged on his slouching by Caroline Lucas – who called his body language “contemptuous” – the MP did not sit up but smirked and adjusted his glasses, because, folks, that’s just the kind of guy he is.It’s true that politicians sometimes lean back on the benches to listen to the speakers positioned at the end of the row, but the House was not at all noisy when Rees-Mogg was smeared across the seat like a stain. The picture quickly went viral and his disrespectful reclining may well come to be a defining image of this tumultuous Collapse
