1/5 "The profile of whole stupendous ruin, as seen at a distance of a mile eastward, is cleanly cut as that of a marble inlay. It is varied with protuberances, which from hereabouts have the animal aspect of warts, wens, knuckles, and hips. #HillfortsWednesday #Dorset #MaidenCastle
Those were the Durotriges- described as living on milk and flesh, and it might be supposed that they covered in the tops of their pits with wattled roofs and there passed their time. ... but used these places in times of war as camps of refuge for their cattle #Dorset #HillfortsWednesday

Ed Davey@eddavey.libdems.org.uk · 8mo agoThis ruling shows that proscribing Palestine Action was a grave misuse of terrorism laws. Labour must accept its mistake, drop its appeal and stop wasting taxpayers' money suppressing civil liberties. Degrading counter-terror powers is a genuine threat to national security.
