White standing doll facing forwards with blonde hair tied back wearing a dark top and matching trousers

Rosa Bonheur (1822-1899), French painter, obtained a police permit to wear "men's clothes' as expected female fashions were so restrictive. She was so popular that girls were given dolls dressed in trousers to mimic Rosa’s unconventional style #WomensArt #WomensHistoryMonth

Those saying ‘has Farage even considered war with Iran will result in more asylum seekers arriving by small boat?’. Of course he has. He doesn’t really want to stop the boats. He needs them for his grievance politics and to persuade the population to support policies which will harm them.

Westminster Meeting House raided by Metropolitan Police again. Statement: “For Quakers, faith and action are inseparable. Peaceful protest, prayer and nonviolent action are integral parts of many Quakers' religious life.

Whilst we take the planning of criminal acts very seriously, we believe that this incident is a deliberate targeting of committed young people who want to make our country a more equitable place. This raid is part of a systematic stifling of dissent.

That this is the second time in a year that the police have raided our meeting house dramatically illuminates the broader trend in the UK of cracking down on those who disagree with the government. The right to protest is fundamental to our democracy. It's a key part of how people make their voices heard between elections.” – Oliver Robertson, Head of Witness and Worship
Quakers in Britain, 5 March 2026

Yesterday evening, for the second time in a year, the Met Police raided Westminster Quaker Meeting House and arrested a number of young nonviolent activists.

Louise sits with Keene Thompson, one of the screenwriters for Now We’re In the Air (1927). “This is my favorite publicity still because I posed it myself,” she observed in “Lulu In Hollywood.” Note the stacks of books at her feet including “The Psychology of Personality.”
