It also supports more careful vetting of incoming asylum seekers. It supports the Irish branch of Pegida, and has joined the Fortress Europe coalition. It advocates the introduction of a two strike law for serious offences, as well as the re-introduction of penal labour. It supports keeping Ireland's neutrality. It also advocated in favour of Brexit

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy F15P0K - . Made at the recorded location in 2015, this photograph records a real place and moment, preserving details that may later be altered by redevelopment, rebranding, changing ownership or different public use. The frame specifically shows 1991 Posta Romana Egretta Garzetta Egret Aurel Popescu Stamp. The surrounding context encompasses before-and-after reference, philatelic material, commemorative issue, historical comparison, changing streetscape, local history, local character, community identity, philatelic collecting, postal history, public realm, postal artefact, contemporary social history, and changing land use. Today's relevance is strengthened by digital communication, collecting and the continuing question of the usefulness of denominations and postmarks for dating material. The image fixes materials and architectural details within the recorded location at one identifiable point, providing a benchmark against changed technology. The wider setting retains connections with visual archive, regional identity, collectable stamp, paper communication, place identity, stamp design, documentary photography, and everyday life. References to Popescu, Egret, Garzetta, Romana, and Posta give the picture a strong period identity and tie it closely to its named subject. A later view of the recorded location may show a very different setting, increasing the value of this precise record of its earlier appearance and activity. The setting also helps illustrate digital communication and the collector interest created by discontinued currencies, states and designs within the real-world context of the recorded location. The image also provides a reference for national identity and the collector interest created by discontinued currencies, states and designs within the specific setting of the recorded location. The period view preserves a point of historical comparison for later comparison.

The combination of Stamp, Deutsche, Demokratische, Sowjetisches, and Republik anchors the frame to a recognisable activity, place or moment. The dated record from the recorded location makes the broader context more tangible. A further contemporary connection is national identity and the contrast between physical postal culture and digital communication without losing the local specificity of the recorded location. The wider significance includes collecting and the usefulness of denominations and postmarks for dating material in a form that can be compared with future views of the recorded location. Another strand within the photograph is national identity and the usefulness of denominations and postmarks for dating material within the real-world context of the recorded location.

France98, France football in 1998 stamps from Laos, 1997. Looking at the subject's development, sports venues and objects often carry strong associations with particular eras, clubs and events
Changes in branding, safety standards, broadcasting and stadium design mean relatively recent images can acquire historical value rapidly. As background, printed and graphic ephemera are highly effective dating evidence
Tickets, labels, cards, stamps, posters and logos combine wording, typography, colour and branding in forms that are often discarded after use, so surviving examples can become valuable records of popular culture and commerce. For the 2026 context, professional sport is increasingly shaped by digital broadcasting, data, sponsorship and sophisticated venues, while heritage grounds and physical memorabilia retain strong emotional appeal for supporters. Against the 2026 backdrop, digital-first communication means many everyday printed objects are disappearing
Older tickets, labels, cards and signs therefore provide valuable material for stories about changing design, retail and consumer behaviour. The wider historical story is that sporting images document not only competition but venues, equipment, supporters and the commercial culture surrounding games
Stadiums, tickets and memorabilia can quickly become historical as clubs rebuild grounds, sponsors change and technology alters the spectator experience. Historically, sport is closely tied to local identity and popular culture
Grounds, trophies, simulators and match-day material show how professional and recreational sport are experienced away from the action itself, while preserving details that may later disappear. Closely associated editorial terms include fan culture, sporting heritage, match day, trophy, sporting culture, club history, sports memorabilia, and graphic design.

France98, France football in 1998 stamps from Laos, 1997. From a heritage perspective, sport is closely tied to local identity and popular culture
Grounds, trophies, simulators and match-day material show how professional and recreational sport are experienced away from the action itself, while preserving details that may later disappear. In the longer view, ephemeral design is especially useful to social historians because it was created for immediate use rather than posterity
A ticket, label or novelty card can reveal contemporary humour, branding, consumer habits and printing style in a compact object. As of 2026, sport combines global media reach with intense local identity
Older grounds, tickets and equipment therefore work well for stories about fan culture, commercialisation, sporting heritage and the changing match-day experience. Current 2026 relevance comes from the fact that much ticketing, advertising and personal communication is digital, making older printed ephemera increasingly distinctive as evidence of pre-digital communication
Physical cards, labels and tickets also provide a contrast with QR codes, apps and paperless transactions. As background, sports venues and objects often carry strong associations with particular eras, clubs and events
Changes in branding, safety standards, broadcasting and stadium design mean relatively recent photographs can acquire historical value rapidly. The wider historical story is that sporting images document not only competition but venues, equipment, supporters and the commercial culture surrounding games

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy F15RNN - . An on-location photograph from the recorded location in 2015, showing the named subject as part of a wider social, commercial, cultural or physical setting rather than as an isolated object. The defining feature is Quercus Robur L 60L posta romana 1994 stamp. The wider scene also brings together place identity, regional identity, changing land use, local character, postal ephemera, contemporary social history, documentary photography, public realm, community identity, postal history, stamp design, postal graphic design, historical comparison, and everyday life. For current editorial use, graphic design and collecting provide additional context, especially through the contrast between physical postal culture and digital communication. For later comparison, the photograph preserves building condition and alterations at the recorded location, details that may look very different after refurbishment. The surrounding story also includes before-and-after reference, postal artefact, philatelic material, commemorative issue, local history, philatelic collecting, archival record, and changing streetscape. References to Robur, romana, posta, Quercus, and stamp give the picture a strong period identity and tie it closely to its named subject. A later view of the recorded location may show a very different setting, increasing the value of this precise record of its earlier appearance and activity. The wider significance includes graphic design and the collector interest created by discontinued currencies, states and designs within the real-world context of the recorded location. Another strand within the photograph is postal services and the contrast between physical postal culture and digital communication within the specific setting of the recorded location. The setting also helps illustrate postal services and the collector interest created by discontinued currencies, states and designs as part of the longer story of the recorded location.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy PF5630 - Close-up studio photograph of a used Italian €1.40 Postaprioritaria postage stamp issued in 2004 for priority correspondence. The small rectangular stamp has a brown outer field, a vivid green central panel and a white perforated edge. A bold black circular postal cancellation crosses the centre, while lighter ink marks and handling wear show that the adhesive was genuinely used on mailed correspondence. Visible printed details include ITALIA along the left side, the wording posta prioritaria across the top, the denomination € 1,40 at lower right and the printer inscription I.P.Z.S. S.p.A. ROMA 2004 along the bottom margin.
The ordinary definitive issue was released on 10 January 2004 for the Italian priority-mail service at the second-weight domestic tariff. Its functional graphic design uses dotted boundary lines, simple typography and a bright colour panel intended to make priority postage immediately recognisable during postal handling. The image records the transition from traditional national currency to euro-denominated postal rates during the early years of euro notes and coins in everyday European use.
Photographed against a plain black background, the isolated stamp reveals the halftone printing, paper texture, toothed perforations, cancellation ink and small signs of use. The composition is suitable for editorial subjects involving Italian postal history, philately, stamp collecting, European communications, letter writing, postal tariffs, graphic design, printed ephemera and the changing material culture of correspondence. Once an ordinary item used to pay for faster delivery, the cancelled stamp now survives as a modest collectible and documentary artefact of Italy's postal system in the early twenty-first century. The overlapping postmark and worn lower edge give the object the character of circulated mail. Its design provides a visual reference for collectors cataloguing modern Italian issues by denomination, cancellation and condition.

The six self-governing Australian colonies that formed the Commonwealth of Australia on 1 January 1901 operated their own postal service and issued their own stamps “ see articles on the systems on New South Wales (first stamps issued 1850), Victoria (1850), Tasmania (1853), Western Australia (1854), South Australia (1855) and Queensland (1860). Under section 51(v) of the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution 1900, postal, telegraphic, telephonic, and other like services became a Commonwealth responsibility.
The Commonwealth's Postmaster-General's Department became effective on 1 March 1901 (this agency would be disaggregated on 1 July 1975 in part into the Australian Postal Commission trading as Australia Post). All then-current colony stamps which continued on sale became de facto Commonwealth stamps. Some of these stamps continued to be used for some time following the introduction in 1913 of the Commonwealth's uniform postage stamp series. These stamps continued to be valid for postage until 14 February 1966 when the introduction of decimal currency made all stamps bearing the earlier currency invalid for use.
There have been many special issues. The first Christmas stamp appeared on 6 November 1957. In recent years, designs for the Christmas issue have alternated each year between the religious and the secular. From 1993, in October of every year, Australia Post has commemorated Stamp Collecting month with special issues, typically featuring topics that are of interest to children such as pets, native fauna and space. Commencing with the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, during the Summer and Winter Olympic Games, stamps featuring Australians who have won an Olympic gold medal are issued on the next postal business day after the achievement.

The six self-governing Australian colonies that formed the Commonwealth of Australia on 1 January 1901 operated their own postal service and issued their own stamps “ see articles on the systems on New South Wales (first stamps issued 1850), Victoria (1850), Tasmania (1853), Western Australia (1854), South Australia (1855) and Queensland (1860). Under section 51(v) of the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution 1900, postal, telegraphic, telephonic, and other like services became a Commonwealth responsibility.
The Commonwealth's Postmaster-General's Department became effective on 1 March 1901 (this agency would be disaggregated on 1 July 1975 in part into the Australian Postal Commission trading as Australia Post). All then-current colony stamps which continued on sale became de facto Commonwealth stamps. Some of these stamps continued to be used for some time following the introduction in 1913 of the Commonwealth's uniform postage stamp series. These stamps continued to be valid for postage until 14 February 1966 when the introduction of decimal currency made all stamps bearing the earlier currency invalid for use.
There have been many special issues. The first Christmas stamp appeared on 6 November 1957. In recent years, designs for the Christmas issue have alternated each year between the religious and the secular. From 1993, in October of every year, Australia Post has commemorated Stamp Collecting month with special issues, typically featuring topics that are of interest to children such as pets, native fauna and space. Commencing with the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, during the Summer and Winter Olympic Games, stamps featuring Australians who have won an Olympic gold medal are issued on the next postal business day after the achievement.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DHGY17 - . Old fashioned Edwardian telephone, Dunham Massey NT, Altrincham, Cheshire, England , UK. Photographed at Dunham Massey NT, Altrincham, Manchester, England, UK. The photograph was taken on 15 September 2013. This editorial stock image documents the subject as it appeared at that time, preserving a clear record of the place, its appearance and the everyday details surrounding it. Signage, lettering, logos, numbers or other visible information form an important part of the record, helping identify the subject and capture contemporary branding or public messaging. The scene is closely associated with Old fashioned Edwardian telephone, Dunham Massey, wallmounted, wall, mounted, handset, intercom, telephone, Victorian and National Trust NT, adding specific subject detail and useful search context without losing the documentary focus on the main subject. The photograph is relevant to homes, residential streets, domestic architecture and the everyday details that shape the appearance of British housing. It can support editorial features about housing, addresses, front doors, neighbourhood identity, home ownership, renting, property condition, postal delivery, security and suburban or urban streets. Doors, windows, numbers, letterboxes, gardens, walls and other domestic details can provide a recognisable visual shorthand for home and residence without relying on a staged interior. As a dated record, the image can also be useful for local history and later comparison as properties are altered, refurbished or redeveloped. Search themes include housing, homes, front doors, addresses, letterboxes, house numbers, residential streets, property, neighbourhoods, renting and home ownership. Small domestic details can become useful archive evidence when properties are refurbished, altered, renumbered or redeveloped. This particular view is catalogued under Alamy image reference DHGY17, distinguishing it from other photographs of the same or related subject.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DB0JXN - An old red British Telephone box turned into a village lending library, next to an old pillarbox (still emptied)
The kiosk in the centre of Great Budworth is now being stocked up with books after the parish council bought it from British Telecom for £1.
We are going to use it as a book exchange and are hoping people drop off books.
Children in the village are among those involved in the project.
A three month trial period is under way to see how well the scheme works.
If it is deemed a success then it will become permanent.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy F15PC4 - British 17p used and postmarked stamp - seventeen pence is a useful documentary subject because it fixes a recognisable place, object or activity in its real setting rather than presenting it as a staged illustration. The scene records a specific piece of everyday place-based detail, the sort of subject that often says more about local identity, work, leisure, transport or consumption than a polished landmark view would. Its value is in the recognisable setting, readable clues and documentary directness, making it useful for editorial coverage of changing streets, public services, heritage, retail habits and ordinary life in Britain and beyond. The location wording gives the subject enough geographic context for local and regional editorial use while avoiding a generic studio feel. Relevant editorial themes include postage stamp, philately, postal history and collectable stamp, with each theme rooted in the visible subject, place or activity. It would suit newspaper, magazine, web, council, transport, heritage, housing, retail, travel or social-commentary use where a believable, unpolished view of real life is more valuable than a generic illustration.
