William Orpen's painting (1923) is of the Irish tenor John McCormack, here pictured in his tennis togs. McCormack shared Orpen's penchant for Frans Hals. This picture though tilts towards Ingres and his portrait of 'Monsieur Bertin,' from a century earlier.
'Barca a terres.' (1877) This elegant image of skiffs cutting through water on a sunny day defined Gustave Caillebotte’s childhood and would later become an evocative and nostalgic motif, one to which he would return time and again as a mature artist.
Instant outrage on here
All the crass dog whistles, nanny state, parents job etc
Not intelligent enough to consider the tragedies we have seen - just have to fight against it.
most of us have grown up with TV watersheds, film age restriction, top shelf magazines etc.
No-one cried it is parents responsibility then,
As for the right to vote - see many on here who should not be allowed out alone and they can still put a cross on a piece of paper.
Oh and know an 80 yo in the US who should have a night time curfew 🤣
A fundamental principle being lost here - is that if you are charged with terrorism - you can defend yourself by explaining why you are not.
As the Filton 4 were never charged or found guilty of terrorism - the judge who sentenced them as terrorists -has denied them this right.
Govt serious about reducing violence v women and girls? Victims?
prison escort contract fails:

176 Crown Court trials cancelled day 1 due to PECS failure to bring defendants to court including
68 violence+
26 sex offence cases
incl 13 adult + 4 child rape

"Do you mind if I ask you a personal question?" said Tommy.
"No, ..." said the Queen, "....but I might not be able to give you a full answer."
"Do you like football?" said Tommy.
"Well not really ," said the Queen.
"In that case, ...'" said Tommy, "....do you mind if I have your Cup Final Tickets?"
@WIREDGAMING11@SaulStaniforth You are aggressively supporting the harming of people based on the colour of their skin. That is EXACTLY what is happening in the streets of Belfast. Legal, working, immigrants. 4th generation, Andystown born and raised, assaulted and firebombed.
No defense for that
Zero
@WIREDGAMING11@SaulStaniforth A peaceful resistance to intimidation is NOT the same as beatings and burning.
You don't GAF about violence. We know. You show us every day with your silence
@WIREDGAMING11@SaulStaniforth Kinda missed that entire part about pulling people out if cars and homes. Never saw anything burned out. Homes, cars, buses?
This is possibly the saddest thing I've seen in a long time..an immigrant nurse talking about fleeing her home..she saved her UNIFORM. So she could still WORK for our communities.
I'd fill this country with a thousand of this woman than one of those good for nothing thugs.
God help this poor woman.
Mark from Belfast just called it what it is on @BenKentish@LBC:
“30 women were murdered… not one road was closed, not one protest.
What was the connection? They were murdered by white locals.”
One stabbing by a Sudanese man and the whole place is engulfed with riots, fires, attacks on Whites, Black & Brown people across Belfast.
Years of local white men killing women nothing.
Undiluted racism. He is not the only local to have said this! Who is behind this violence? 👇 #BelfastRiots #CallItWhatItIs
@Terry_Tibbs0@narindertweets@Keir_Starmer So you agree 👍
NI has some of the highest Domestic Violence in earth. Northern Ireland is 95% white
White men commit the most DV on earth
