A late first-century Roman sculpture I spotted at the Wallace Collection… and somehow, my two greyhounds still pose exactly the same way nearly two thousand years later.

Ransom was shaped by Ron Howard’s fear of his children being kidnapped.
In the early ’90s, he and his family were heavily stalked and faced credible kidnapping threats. He poured that real terror into the film and into Mel Gibson’s performance.

If you're a woman, you have not LIVED until you've seen the BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth.
Especially the way Firth looks at Ehle in this one. You could set the world on fire with that contained heat.

I have introduced a bill to introduce compulsory labelling of halal and kosher meat.
Consumers have a right to know what they are eating. Yet every day people are consuming halal and kosher meat without knowing it - that’s meat where the animal has its throat slit and often is not stunned before slaughter.
At its heart, this is a straightforward proposal built on consumer choice, animal welfare and transparency. It is not about banning halal or kosher meat but about the compulsory labelling of it, which is currently only voluntary, so as to ensure consumers know what they are buying.
What began as a limited religious exemption has become an increasingly significant part of meat production.

Today is the National Day for the Victims of Communism. Communism killed more than 100 million people in the 20th century.
This memorial, The Memorial to the Victims of Communism in Prague, powerfully captures what communism does to the human person.

Vivien Leigh reading in the sitting room of Durham Cottage, Chelsea in 1937. It was the first home she shared with Laurence Olivier, though both were still married, she to Leigh Holman, and Olivier to actress Jill Esmond. Olivier later spoke of his guilt: “No man could resist Vivien. I tried. I felt very guilty about being unfaithful to Jill. I’d been unfaithful before, but this was different. This was the real thing. It wasn’t a fling. It was an unasked for, once in a lifetime love.” When Olivier was dying, and married to Joan Plowright, he constantly went through scrapbooks containing photographs of himself and Leigh. What Plowright thought of this, one can only imagine.

A small detail I appreciate in THUNDERBALL: the way Blofeld pauses a beat after Number 5 says his amount, like he's considering if that's right and whether or not he needs to be fried in his chair. #JamesBond 🎬

215 million animals slaughtered for halal meat in the UK in 2024.
UK supply of halal meat is 4 x greater than required for the size of the Muslim population.
Consumers must be able to reject this barbaric practice which has no place in a Western country.
