Really exciting new archaeology report showing that two people who died in 7th century Kent had West African grandfathers. Itโs suggested theyโd travelled here as traders and settled thanks to the Byzantine Empireโs trade network that linked North Africa to Britain

Five men jailed for torture of woman in Dublin flat
Five men who beat, burned, stabbed and tortured a woman for three hours in a Dublin flat last year have been jailed for between eight-and-a-half and 14 years.
I'm glad Natalie Ennis received some justice today, with more to come. She was put through such torture and depravity by 8 Irish men. Not one word from the Irish fa-right about her ordeal. Not one condemnation of the men from them either.
