Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EE4MAD - Conspiracy placards displayed in Warrington town centre near Golden Square shopping centre show messages opposing BritCard digital ID and net zero, alongside a large claim that There is no climate crisis. The scene records how online-influenced narratives about identity systems, climate policy, government control and surveillance can appear in ordinary public spaces used by Saturday shoppers, families and pedestrians. The boards use bold warning language, simplified graphics and emotive claims about biometric data, personal freedom, public spending and the cost of net zero, making the image relevant to editorial coverage of misinformation, disinformation, conspiracy culture, political protest and public trust. The climate message should be treated cautiously as misinformation, not as a balanced scientific position: the Met Office states that there is overwhelming evidence that climate change is affecting the health of the planet and the wellbeing of billions of people. The digital ID message is also politically charged, mixing genuine civil liberties concerns with stronger claims about coercion and control. UK government material presents digital ID as a way to prove identity and access services, while parliamentary and public debate continues around privacy, compulsion, exclusion and data governance. This documentary photograph can illustrate climate denial, anti-net-zero campaigns, identity-card opposition, culture war politics, fringe street campaigning, public communication, information disorder, distrust in institutions and the movement of internet narratives into local civic life. The Warrington retail setting contrasts routine shopping with contested political messaging. The weather appears dry and overcast or shaded, with grey paving and street furniture giving the image a plain public-realm context. The photograph should be captioned as a record of conspiracy and misinformation material being displayed, not as endorsement of the claims.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E9APB4 - Beer pump clip artwork for Discover Ossett, a 4.1% ABV Nelson Sauvin and Amarillo pale ale associated with Ossett Brewery and Abbeydale Brewery. The illustrated design uses the look of a vintage travel poster to promote Ossett as a West Yorkshire market town, showing market stalls, flowers, a signpost, civic buildings and a clock tower under a warm orange sky. The image is useful for editorial and commercial stock uses connected with British real ale, cask beer, craft brewing, brewery collaborations, beer branding, pub pump clips, graphic design, Yorkshire tourism, local identity and the modern revival of illustrated beer label art. Abbeydale Brewery's beer archive describes Discover Ossett as a 4.1% collaboration pale ale made with Nelson Sauvin, Amarillo and Columbus hops, and says it brings together two popular beers, Deception and White Rat. Untappd also lists Discover Ossett V2 by Ossett Brewery as a 4.1% English pale ale with Nelson Sauvin and Amarillo wording, supporting the label details visible in the image. The subject has strong value for stories about independent breweries, northern beer culture, guest ales, beer festivals, CAMRA real ale interest, handpull clips, pub trade marketing and limited edition seasonal or collaboration beers. Nelson Sauvin is strongly associated with New Zealand hop character, often linked with white grape and gooseberry notes, while Amarillo is widely used for citrus and floral hop flavours, making the beer relevant to modern pale ale taste trends. The Ossett town artwork adds a local place-marketing angle, connecting beer branding with civic pride, market-town heritage and the Wakefield district. The pump clip is also useful for articles on how breweries use nostalgic tourism imagery, bright typography and local landmarks to make cask ales stand out on busy pub bars. It is a clear stock image for beer writers, pub bloggers, brewery features, hospitality coverage, tasting notes, real ale guides, drinks retail, bar design

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3ECEEB7 - A framed ANDYSMANCLUB poster promotes male mental health support, suicide prevention and the direct message that it is okay to talk. The black, white and yellow design uses bold typography, a hand gesture graphic and clear meeting information to encourage men to attend peer support groups on Monday evenings. The poster highlights the serious public health issue of male suicide and presents talking, listening and shared experience as practical ways to challenge stigma. It is a strong editorial image for stories about men's mental health, suicide prevention, depression, anxiety, loneliness, emotional wellbeing, peer support, community groups, charitable outreach and the barriers that can stop men seeking help. ANDYSMANCLUB began after the death of Andrew Roberts and has grown into a volunteer-led UK charity offering non-clinical spaces where men aged 18 and above can speak openly without judgement. The image is commercially useful for illustrating mental health awareness campaigns, workplace wellbeing, public health messaging, social prescribing, community resilience, third sector support, masculinity, stigma, crisis prevention and the importance of early conversation before problems become overwhelming. The poster's visible wording, including #ANDYSMANCLUB, #ITSOKAYTOTALK, meeting times and social media details, makes it clearly identifiable and relevant to current debates about suicide risk, underfunded support services, the pressure on men to keep quiet and the need for accessible, local, informal support. The picture also works as a documentary record of charity publicity in everyday public spaces, where a simple notice can signpost people towards help, solidarity and a first step through the door. Its stark monochrome design and urgent headline create an effective visual shorthand for the continuing need to normalise men talking about mental health.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EBGJMW - Vote Green campaign placard is fixed to a wooden post outside a red brick terraced house in a British residential street, creating a topical editorial image for UK council election coverage. The photograph shows grassroots Green Party campaigning at street level, with a second Vote Green sign visible further along the road, suggesting neighbourhood support and local doorstep politics rather than a staged party press event. The image is useful for stories about the Green Party of England and Wales, local elections, voter choice, protest voting, climate politics, environmental policy, tactical voting, progressive politics and changing party loyalties in urban and suburban communities. It can also illustrate the rise of Green campaigning under leader Zack Polanski, whose leadership has been associated with sharper left-wing messaging, stronger polling visibility and increased attention from Labour, Liberal Democrat, Conservative and Reform UK opponents. The scene works well for coverage of local council contests, ward campaigns, candidate leaflets, garden posters, political signage, door-to-door canvassing and the contest for disillusioned Labour voters. It also suits more critical editorial use around campaign controversies, candidate vetting, accusations from rival parties, debates over antisemitism, policing comments, Palestine-related campaigning, public confidence, party discipline and the practical challenge of translating national polling into council seats. The wet road, plain terraced housing, overcast light and ordinary street setting give the image a documentary feel, emphasising everyday democratic participation, household political expression and the way national political arguments become visible in small local streets during an election campaign. It has strong stock value for newspapers, magazines, political blogs, polling analysis, civic education and features about fragmentation in British politics beyond the traditional two-party contest.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E93466 - Close view of an Avanti West Coast onboard passenger information poster promoting free period care on trains as part of the operator's Package for a Friend scheme. The red notice explains that if a passenger's period arrives unexpectedly, help is available onboard, with customers able to ask staff for a pad in the shop or request a Package for a Friend for a more private and discreet handover. The image is useful for editorial coverage of women's health, menstrual care, period dignity, inclusive travel, passenger welfare, public transport support initiatives and the wider role of transport operators in responding to real everyday needs. Avanti West Coast announced the scheme in 2025, saying customers could access free pads via onboard shop staff or through Click and Collect for discreet pickup. The poster also carries Package for a Friend branding, linking it to a broader rail industry initiative around menstrual equality and practical passenger support. This makes the photograph relevant for news, magazines, health features, transport policy coverage, equality and inclusion reporting, customer service case studies and rail industry commentary. Visually, the strong red design and bold white lettering create a clear, informative documentary image of modern onboard signage, while the wording gives specific context around unexpected periods, privacy and access to free sanitary products during a journey. Suitable themes include women travellers, train operator services, public information campaigns, travel reassurance, period poverty awareness, transport accessibility and practical measures to make rail travel more inclusive and less stressful for passengers. The image also works as a record of changing expectations in customer care on Britain's railways, where health, dignity and discreet support are becoming more visible parts of the onboard experience.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CPAX84 - This image shows an original hand drawn and photocopied poster from 1988 advertising an appearance by Frank Sidebottom, the surreal comic creation of Chris Sievey. The poster announces that Frank Sidebottom would cut the ribbon for the official opening of the Timperley Aquatics water garden on 2 April 1988, at 10.30am GMT, with a live appearance lasting five minutes.
The artwork features Frank Sidebottom's instantly recognisable wide eyed papier mache head, rendered in a deliberately naïve black and white illustration style. Surrounding text and drawings, including fish motifs and playful handwritten lettering, reflect the DIY, low budget aesthetic that defined Sievey's work and the wider British alternative comedy scene of the 1980s.
The poster references Radio Timperley and includes local contact details, reinforcing the strong connection between Frank Sidebottom and community level events in south Manchester. Rather than mainstream venues, Sievey frequently performed at small local openings, shops, and civic events, using absurdity and deadpan humour to parody celebrity culture and public ceremonies.
As a piece of ephemera, the poster offers a valuable snapshot of grassroots British cultural history. It illustrates how alternative comedy, outsider art, and local radio intersected in late twentieth century Manchester, and why Frank Sidebottom became a lasting cult figure associated with Timperley, Greater Manchester, and northern English eccentricity.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E3P7N6 - Manchester International Festival 2025 posters are displayed beside a graffiti-covered fence near Shudehill tram stop in Manchester city centre, advertising contemporary art, theatre, performance and cultural events. The visible MIF25 posters promote Juliet Ellis's A Symphony of Flesh and Bones at Aviva Studios, Liberation, Germaine Kruip's A Possibility and An Inheritance, with the distinctive Manchester International Festival branding repeated across the outdoor advertising panels. Factory International says MIF25 ran from 3 to 20 July 2025, taking over Aviva Studios and spreading across the city with artists and audiences from around the world, under the festival theme Dream Differently. The image is commercially useful for stories about Manchester arts and culture, festival marketing, outdoor posters, public art, theatre promotion, contemporary performance, city-centre advertising and the role of major festivals in shaping urban identity. The Shudehill location adds strong Manchester context, linking the festival's cultural programme with public transport, the Northern Quarter, tram passengers, commuters, visitors and everyday city movement. The rough brick wall, metal poster frames, graffiti, chain-link fence and changing urban backdrop contrast with the polished MIF branding, creating a useful visual of how cultural messages appear in real streets rather than only inside galleries or theatres. It can illustrate creative industries, cultural regeneration, visitor economy, public realm, arts funding, event tourism, poster design, city branding and the continuing role of printed advertising in a digital age. As a documentary stock image, it records MIF25 at street level, where international art, local audiences, transport infrastructure and Manchester's gritty visual culture meet in one public-facing display.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3BKDJH6 - A close-up view of a housing protest poster attached to a street pole in Dublin city centre, Ireland, photographed in June 2025. The poster advertises a planned demonstration at Dáil Éireann and describes the housing situation as an emergency, reflecting widespread public concern over housing supply, affordability, and homelessness in Ireland.
The sign features bold red and yellow typography designed for high visibility in an urban environment and references organised protest activity involving speeches, music, and public participation. Such posters are a common feature of Dublin's streetscape during periods of heightened political debate and social mobilisation.
Ireland has experienced sustained pressure on housing availability in recent years, particularly in major cities such as Dublin, leading to regular protests, policy discussions, and public campaigns focused on housing provision and reform. Temporary street posters like this document how political messaging is communicated at ground level in public spaces.
This image is suitable for editorial use illustrating housing protests, urban political activism, social policy debates, cost of living issues, public demonstrations in Ireland, and contemporary civic life in European capital cities.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2X2CG2W - This image shows a large, colourful LEEDS sign mounted within the interior of Leeds railway station in West Yorkshire, England. The sign uses bold lettering across a series of bright, patterned panels, creating a distinctive visual identity that clearly announces the city to arriving and departing passengers. Positioned above the station concourse area, the sign forms part of the station's wayfinding and branding, reinforcing Leeds as a major regional destination.
Leeds railway station is one of the busiest stations outside London and a key transport hub in the north of England. Serving the East Coast Main Line and numerous regional routes, it provides vital connections between Leeds, London, Manchester, Sheffield, York, the North East, and Scotland. The station plays a central role in daily commuter travel as well as long-distance intercity services, reflecting Leeds' importance as a commercial, financial, cultural, and educational centre.
The modern interior setting, combined with contemporary graphic design, reflects ongoing investment in passenger experience and urban transport infrastructure. This image is suitable for editorial and commercial use relating to rail travel, public transport, city identity, tourism, urban regeneration, and the role of major railway stations as gateways to UK cities.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2T00PEF - High Speed 2 (HS2) is a planned high-speed railway line and network of passenger train services in England. It will consist of a new railway line between the West Midlands and London, with a branch to Birmingham, and a network of train services that will use the new line and existing conventional track to reach their destinations in the Midlands, Northern England, and Scotland. HS2 will be Britain's second purpose-built high-speed line, the first being High Speed 1, which connects London to the Channel Tunnel. The majority of the project is planned to be completed between 2029 and 2033. A 2019 review of the project, as then planned, estimated that it would cost up to £87 billion
however, this is estimated to have risen to approximately £100 billion in 2023.
The new line will run between London Euston railway station and Fradley in southern Staffordshire, with stations at Old Oak Common, in northwest London, and Birmingham Interchange, near Solihull. There will be spurs to a planned station in central Birmingham and a junction with the West Coast Main Line (WCML) at Handsacre, near Lichfield. The rolling stock will run at a maximum speed of 360 km/h (225 mph) and will operate on both HS2 track and existing conventional track
On 4 October 2023 the Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced that Phase 2 would be abandoned and that responsibility for the Euston connection would be removed from HS2 Ltd

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2T00PER - Old HS2 High Speed Two advertising hoarding at Birmingham Curzon Street reading Live in Birmingham, Work in Manchester, Play in London, photographed in Central Birmingham before the project's northern leg to Manchester was cancelled. The slogan now has strong editorial value as an unintended white elephant image, contrasting the original promise of fast intercity connectivity between Birmingham, Manchester and London with the later political decision to cut back HS2 to a London to West Midlands railway. The sign stands beside the Curzon Street station site in Birmingham city centre, close to the Grade I listed former London and Birmingham Railway terminus on New Canal Street, a location already rich in railway history and regeneration symbolism. This image is useful for searches about HS2, High Speed Two, HS2 cancellation, Manchester leg cancelled, northern leg cancellation, Birmingham to Manchester, Curzon Street, Eastside regeneration, transport policy, major project failure, public spending, cost overruns, rail capacity, levelling up, northern powerhouse, regional inequality, West Coast Main Line, government U-turn, infrastructure governance and value for money. The wording is especially powerful because it captures a promise of joined-up economic geography, where people might live in Birmingham, work in Manchester and play in London, but the later cancellation makes the message look optimistic, dated and politically awkward. The photograph can illustrate news, reports, blogs, political commentary, transport features, planning debate, construction industry analysis, public accountability, Midlands and northern rail investment, station-led growth and the risk that major infrastructure branding outlives the project it promoted. The plain pavement, blue hoarding, HS2 branding, overcast sky and lack of people give the image a clean documentary feel, suitable for stock buyers needing a sharp visual metaphor for cancelled rail ambition, broken connectivity promises a

In 2023 it is the 1100th anniversary of Thelwall being declared a city'. There is to be an open meeting on Wednesday 30thNovember for local groups and individuals to gather interest and ideas, and set up an organising committee. The meeting will take place at the Royal British Legion, doors opening at 7pm for the meeting to start at 7.30. Representatives and individual members of all village organisations will be very welcome.
We've been looking back at the way the village came together to celebrate 1000 years in 1923 and 1050 years in 1973. In 1923, Thelwall's celebrations helped to fund a new war memorial (Bell Lane), dedicated in 1925. So successful was the event that the pub was drunk dry and the caterers ran out of food and drinks. In May 1973, Thelwall Youth and Community Association organised Festival 1050 a four day event with a folk festival, a piano recital by Stephen Hough, an arts and crafts exhibition in the school and a procession that saw Miss Thelwall (Carol Moss) brought across the Manchester Ship Canal by the ferry boat where she was met by the Thelwall Rose Queen (Julie Lager) to a fanfare. They then joined a procession of vintage cars round the village.
If you have any memorabilia, photos, films or memories from these events, we would like to hear from you. You can email thelwallhistorygroup@gmail.com

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R9J0E4 - The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) is a registered trade union[2] in the United Kingdom for those in the profession of nursing. It was founded in 1916, receiving its royal charter in 1928. Queen Elizabeth II was the patron until her death in 2022. The majority of members are registered nurses
however student nurses and healthcare assistants are also members. There is also a category of membership, at a reduced cost, for retired people.
The RCN describes its mission as representing nurses and nursing, promoting excellence in practice and shaping health policies. It has a network of stewards, safety representatives and union learning representatives as well as advice services for members. Services include a main library in London, and regional libraries. The RCN Institute provides courses for nurses.
History
The College of Nursing Ltd was founded on 27 March 1916, with 34 members, as a professional organisation for trained nurses
In 2018, after a pay agreement was not clearly explained to the membership, the Chief Executive and General Secretary Janet Davies resigned and Dame Donna Kinnair was appointed in an acting capacity. She was confirmed in the role in April 2019. A motion of no confidence in the RCN Council was called shortly afterwards and passed in September 2018 with 78% of votes, but on a turnout when only 3.7% of the membership voted. As well as the Chief Executive and General Secretary, the Director of Member Relations had previously resigned. Twelve of the 17 council members resigned, 10 of them standing for re-election in the subsequent election.
In 2019, the RCN's first strike limited to Northern Ireland, over staffing and pay issuestook place
In 2022, the RCN held a strike ballot over pay, held separately across NHS trusts and boards. Its members went on strike as part of the 20222023 National Health Service strikes. The RCN commented that from 2010 (the start of the government's austerity programme) to 2022, pay for nurses had fallen by 20%

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R9J0J1 - A key worker, critical worker or essential worker is a public-sector or private-sector employee who is considered to provide an essential service. The term has been used[when?] in the United Kingdom in the context of workers who may find it difficult to buy property in the area where they work. The term was also used by the UK government during announcements regarding school shutdowns invoked in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to indicate parents whose occupations entitled them to continue sending their children to schools which were otherwise shut down by government policy, as well as teachers and LSAs at those schools.
A key worker is a public sector or private sector employee who is considered to provide an essential service.
Key workers jobs that cannot be done remotely:-
Energy. Many of the jobs in this field, which includes mining and oil extraction, cannot be done remotely.
First responders. These are the people communities depend on in emergencies, such as paramedics, firefighters and police.
Education and child care. Making sure children can grow academically even during a pandemic means vaccinating teachers, their support staff, and daycare employees.
Agriculture and food production. Many of the outbreaks at the onset of the pandemic were in meatpacking facilities and other food-processing plants.
Critical retail. (i.e. grocery stores, hardware stores, auto mechanics etc.). Keeping supermarket employees safe makes it possible for others to stay fed while restaurants are temporarily shut down.
Critical trades. (i.e. construction workers, electricians, plumbers, etc.)
Manufacturing. These jobs (producing goods) cannot be done remotely.
Corrections workers. Prisons are the types of closed facilities where the coronavirus can spread quickly.
Postal Service workers. This group makes sure vital packages get delivered, along with providing other key services.
Public transit workers.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RC3CDJ - Unionist boycott will not alter police reform' - more at https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-30021664.html
Police reform in Northern Ireland will not be altered if unionists boycott the board overseeing the changes, the British Government insisted today.
A Northern Ireland Office spokesman rejected claims from the anti-Good Friday Agreement Democratic Unionists that unionists could secure a better policing plan if they united and opposed the current proposals.
As the Rev Ian Paisley's party met at Stormont to consider its response to the Government's plan, the NIO said the package was ''non-negotiable''.
''The Government's position was spelt out very clearly by the Secretary of State on Tuesday,'' a spokesman said.
''The implementation plan is non-negotiable. No rethink will take place. This is the plan.''
The NIO spokesman was responding to DUP deputy leader Peter Robinson's claim that if David Trimble's Ulster Unionists agreed to join them in withholding support for the plan, the reforms could not go ahead.
Signalling his party would not take its seats on the Policing Board if the UUP did not nominate representatives, he claimed: At the meeting we held recently with John Reid, he indicated the Government could not proceed with the plan if he could not get, on the one hand the support of either the SDLP, Sinn Fein or both, and on the other, the UUP, DUP or both.
That was the criteria operated the last time around. The Government's plans were stopped because neither the SDLP nor Sinn Fein would support it and as a result the reforms were made much more acceptable to nationalists in the SDLP.
The logical argument, therefore, is if unionists do not support this implementation plan, then it cannot succeed. The Government will have to amend it to make it more acceptable to unionists and go back to negotiations.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RCC5PC - This image shows a vintage advertising poster produced by the Cooperative Wholesale Society to promote Penguin umbrellas, a specialist product sold through cooperative retail outlets across Britain. The poster features a humorous illustrated scene of people sheltering beneath umbrellas, accompanied by the slogan It never rains in Manchester but you'll see penguins, playing on the city's reputation for wet weather and dry northern wit.
The Cooperative Wholesale Society, commonly known as CWS, was the manufacturing and wholesale arm of the British cooperative movement, supplying goods to local Co-op stores nationwide. Advertising material such as this poster combined practical product promotion with humour and strong graphic identity, helping distinguish cooperative goods from private retailers during the mid twentieth century.
The illustration style, limited colour palette, and bold typography are characteristic of postwar British commercial art, reflecting a period when posters were a primary means of mass communication. The use of penguins as a visual motif reinforced brand recognition for Penguin umbrellas while appealing to family audiences and everyday consumers.
Closely associated with Manchester and the wider Lancashire cooperative tradition, this poster also reflects the cultural values of the movement, including accessibility, shared ownership, and trust in everyday essentials. The image is well suited for editorial use covering British social history, cooperative retailing, vintage advertising, graphic design, and the cultural identity of northern England.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R0X33R - Deep Purple are an English rock band formed in London in 1968. They are considered to be among the pioneers of heavy metal and modern hard rock, but their musical approach has changed over the years. Originally formed as a psychedelic rock and progressive rock band, they shifted to a heavier sound with their 1970 album Deep Purple in Rock. Deep Purple (together with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath) have been referred to as the unholy trinity of British hard rock and heavy metal in the early to mid-seventies. They were listed in the 1975 Guinness Book of World Records as the globe's loudest band for a 1972 concert at London's Rainbow Theatre and have sold over 100 million albums worldwide

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PKA5JD - Why do a sleepout in the Cathedral?
The Whitechapel Centre is Liverpool's leading homeless charity, helping those living without a home. Liverpool Cathedral is a vibrant, active place that helps the people of the city in many ways through schools, family workshops, foodbanks and community markets, volunteering, or just being a safe place to keep warm. Together, we are working really hard to make sure everyone in Liverpool can have a place to call home and live to their full potential. Unfortunately, more and more people need our help each year.
We know that many people want to help those they see sleeping on the streets or who are struggling but it can be difficult to know the best way to help. By taking part in the Cathedral Sleepout and raising as much money as possible, you'll enable us to give people food, find them a home and teach them new skills.
The Cathedral Sleepout is a very rare opportunity to sleep inside the fantastic Liverpool Cathedral. The Sleepout doesn't compare to sleeping outside on the streets, but we want to help people understand how difficult it might be when you don't have a place to go.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2MKF77X - Buzzcocks are an English punk rock band formed in Bolton, England in 1976 by singer-songwriter-guitarist Pete Shelley and singer-songwriter Howard Devoto. They are regarded as a seminal influence on the Manchester music scene, the independent record label movement, punk rock, power pop, and pop punk. They achieved commercial success with singles that fused pop craftsmanship with rapid-fire punk energy. These singles were collected on Singles Going Steady, an acclaimed compilation album described by music journalist and critic, Ned Raggett, as a punk masterpiece.
Devoto and Shelley chose the name Buzzcocks after reading the headline, It's the Buzz, Cock!, in a review of the TV series Rock Follies in Time Out magazine. The buzz is the excitement of playing on stage
cock is northern English slang meaning friend. They thought it captured the excitement of the nascent punk scene, as well as having humorous sexual connotations following Pete Shelley's time working in a Bolton adult shop.
Devoto left the band in 1977, after which Pete Shelley became the principal singer-songwriter. After releasing three albums, as well as Singles Going Steady, the band broke up in 1981 following a dispute with their then-record label, but reunited in 1989, since releasing six more albums. Shelley died in 2018,[9] but the band has remained active. Steve Diggle, the guitarist and co-founder of the band, is now singer. They added a new guitarist Mani Perazzoli. They are still touring.
Their first UA Buzzcocks single, Orgasm Addict, was a playful examination of compulsive sexuality that was, and remains, uncommonly bold. The BBC refused to play the song, and the single did not sell well. Later, more ambiguous songs staked out a territory defined by Shelley's bisexuality and punk's aversion to serious examination of human sexuality. The next single, What Do I Get? reached the UK top 50 chart. Lipstick, the B-side to Promises, shared the same ascending progression of note

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K1Y84F - The basic verb phrase carry on means to continue doing something, but here, it specifically means to persevere and is often associated a British stiff upper lip.
According the UK's official History of Government blog, the British Ministry of Information developed a series of three posters in 1939 to rally and reassure its populace as World War II ramped up. The third, and now iconic, poster flashed Keep Calm and Carry On in white, capital letters underneath an image of a crown on a bright, grabbingly red background. Who, exactly, coined the slogan is unclear. The other two posters featured equally comforting slogans: Your Courage, Your Cheerfulness, Your Resolution
Will Bring Us Victory and Freedom is in Peril
Defend it with all Your Might.
The British government printed nearly 2.5 million copies, reserving them to boost morale in case of a particularly bad German bombing. It never did display the posters, and most were recycled in 1940 during a wartime paper shortage.
The Keep Calm and Carry On poster languished in number and obscurity until Stuart Manley discovered a copy in 2000 tucked away in a box of old books for his bookshop, Barter Books, in Alnwick, England. His wife and co-owner, Mary, framed and displayed the poster. Patrons fell in love with it, and the booksellers printed tens of thousands of copies over the decade.
The poster skyrocketed in popularity after the 2008 recession, explained Foreign Affairs Correspondent Jon Henley in 2009 for The Guardian. Social psychologist Alain Samson observed for Henley that [t]he words are also particularly positive, reassuring, in a period of uncertainty, anxiety, even perhaps of cynicism.
Since then, keep calm and carry on exploded as a meme. Everyone from crafters to tweeters have riffed on the slogan. Variations typically follow the template Keep Calm and X: Keep Calm and Drink Tea or Drink Beer, swapping out the crown icon for a teacup or pint glass

The name also applies to the area surrounding its junction with Smithdown Road and Allerton Road, and to the roundabout at Smithdown Place that was the location for a major bus terminus, originally an important tram junction of Liverpool Corporation Tramways. The roundabout was a frequent stopping place for John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison during their years as schoolchildren and students. Bus journeys via Penny Lane and the area itself subsequently became familiar elements in the early years of the LennonMcCartney songwriting partnership. In 2009, McCartney reflected:
Penny Lane was kind of nostalgic, but it was really [about] a place that John and I knew ... I'd get a bus to his house and I'd have to change at Penny Lane, or the same with him to me, so we often hung out at that terminus, like a roundabout. It was a place that we both knew, and so we both knew the things that turned up in the story.
Lennon's original lyrics for In My Life had included a reference to Penny Lane. Soon after the Beatles recorded In My Life in October 1965, McCartney mentioned to an interviewer that he wanted to write a song about Penny Lane. A year later, he was spurred to write the song once presented with Lennon's Strawberry Fields Forever. McCartney also cited Dylan Thomas's nostalgic poem Fern Hill as an inspiration for Penny Lane. Lennon co-wrote the lyrics with McCartney. He recalled in a 1970 interview: The bank was there, and that was where the trams sheds were and people waiting and the inspector stood there, the fire engines were down there.

The name also applies to the area surrounding its junction with Smithdown Road and Allerton Road, and to the roundabout at Smithdown Place that was the location for a major bus terminus, originally an important tram junction of Liverpool Corporation Tramways. The roundabout was a frequent stopping place for John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison during their years as schoolchildren and students. Bus journeys via Penny Lane and the area itself subsequently became familiar elements in the early years of the LennonMcCartney songwriting partnership. In 2009, McCartney reflected:
Penny Lane was kind of nostalgic, but it was really [about] a place that John and I knew ... I'd get a bus to his house and I'd have to change at Penny Lane, or the same with him to me, so we often hung out at that terminus, like a roundabout. It was a place that we both knew, and so we both knew the things that turned up in the story.
Lennon's original lyrics for In My Life had included a reference to Penny Lane. Soon after the Beatles recorded In My Life in October 1965, McCartney mentioned to an interviewer that he wanted to write a song about Penny Lane. A year later, he was spurred to write the song once presented with Lennon's Strawberry Fields Forever. McCartney also cited Dylan Thomas's nostalgic poem Fern Hill as an inspiration for Penny Lane. Lennon co-wrote the lyrics with McCartney. He recalled in a 1970 interview: The bank was there, and that was where the trams sheds were and people waiting and the inspector stood there, the fire engines were down there. It was reliving childhood

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JX2T8T - The Advanced Passenger Train (APT) was a tilting high speed train developed by British Rail during the 1970s and early 1980s, for use on the West Coast Main Line (WCML). The WCML contained many curves, and the APT pioneered the concept of active tilting to address these, a feature that has since been copied on designs around the world. The experimental APT-E achieved a new British railway speed record on 10 August 1975 when it reached 152.3 miles per hour (245.1 km/h), only to be bested by the service prototype APT-P at 162.2 miles per hour (261.0 km/h) in December 1979, a record that stood until September 2006.
Development of the service prototypes dragged on, and by the late 1970s the design had been under construction for a decade and the trains were still not ready for service. The election of Margaret Thatcher brought matters to a head and she alluded to funding cuts for the project. Facing the possibility of cancellation, BR management decided to put the prototypes into service, with the first runs along the London-Glasgow route taking place in December 1981. The result was a media circus when every problem large or small received front-page coverage and the entire project derided as an example of BR's incompetence. The trains were withdrawn from service again by the end of the month, to the great amusement of the press.
In spite of the APT's troubled history, the design was highly influential and directly inspired other high speed trains such as the Pendolino. The considerable work on electrification that was carried out hand-in-hand with APT was put to good use with newer non-tilting designs like the British Rail Class 91. The APT's tilt system was returned to the WCML on the British Rail Class 390, based on the Fiat Ferroviaria tilting train design and built by Alstom.

A parcel of thinking softly untying
Or an origami of ideas hugely unfolding
As, caught by the breeze, image and language
Spread their twin messages into the air.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JN1G5J - John Player & Sons, most often known simply as Player's, was a tobacco and cigarette manufacturer based in Nottingham, England. In 1901, the company merged with other companies to form The Imperial Tobacco Company to face competition from US manufacturers. The company also released several series of association football trading cards in the 1930s under the Player's brand.
Nowadays the brands Player and John Player Special are owned and commercialised by Imperial Brands.
History
In March 1820, William Wright set up a small tobacco factory in Craigshill, Livingston, West Lothian. This business expanded and earned Wright a comfortable fortune. John Player bought the business in 1877. He had the Castle Tobacco Factories built in Radford, Nottingham, just west of the city centre. He had three large factory blocks built, but initially only one was used to process and pack tobacco. The other two blocks were loaned out to lace manufacturers until the business had expanded enough to use the additional space.
John Player died in December 1884 and for the next nine years, the business was run by a small group of family friends until W G and J D Player were ready to take over the firm in 1893. The business became a private limited company in 1895, with a share capital of £200,000.
The business was run later by Player's sons John Dane Player and William Goodacre Player.
In 1901, in response to competitive threats from the US, Player's merged with the Imperial Tobacco Group. The largest constituent of Imperial Tobacco was W. D. & H. O. Wills and the new group was run from Wills' head office in Bristol. Player's retained its own identity with cigarette brands such as Navy Cut, No. 9, John Player Special, and Gold Leaf
loose tobacco brands such as No Name
and its distinctive logo of a smoking sailor in a navy-cut cap.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JPDJB2 - Bulmers cider is one of a number of brands owned by British cider maker H. P. Bulmer of Hereford. It is one of the biggest selling British bottled cider brands in the UK because it has the highest concentration of apples, with a number of variants including Bulmers Original & Pear. It should not be confused with Bulmers Irish Cider, sold outside the Republic of Ireland as Magners.
History
Fred and Percy Bulmer grew the apples at their family orchard at Credenhill in Herefordshire which would be later used to make the cider for which they became known. Production was initially at Ryelands Street in Hereford, the original buildings, including cider cellars survives today as the Cider Museum and King Offa Distillery. Production moved to the current Plough Lane site in the late 1970s. Today HP Bulmer makes 65% of the UK's five hundred million litres of cider sold annually, and the bulk of the UK's cider exports. From 1937 to 1949, Bulmers operated with Wm. Magners of Clonmel, expanding into Irish distribution markets. From 1949 Magners withdrew from this partnership but retained rights to trade under the name HP Bulmer Ltd in Ireland.
In 2003, the Hereford-based firm was bought for £278 million by Scottish & Newcastle (S&N) with the loss of some 200 jobs initially. In 2008, S&N were bought for £7.8 billion by the Carlsberg and Heineken groups. Bulmers now only survives as a brand name and subsidiary of the Dutch Heineken group, with operations in Hereford scaled back to focus mainly on the production of cider.
During spring 2006, the company relaunched Bulmers Original in the UK, aimed at the served over ice market, which had grown in popularity over the past few years. Bulmers Original is a 4.5% ABV cider, primarily sold in pint bottles (568 ml). In November 2007, Bulmers pear cider was launched

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JJKNF9 - Peaky Blinders is a British period crime drama television series created by Steven Knight. Set in Birmingham, it follows the exploits of the Peaky Blinders crime gang in the direct aftermath of the First World War. The fictional gang is loosely based on a real urban youth gang of the same name who were active in the city from the 1880s to the 1910s
Peaky Blinders is a crime drama centred on a family of mixed Irish Traveller and Romani origins based in Birmingham, England, starting in 1919, several months after the end of the First World War. It centres on the Peaky Blinders street gang and their ambitious, cunning crime boss Tommy Shelby (Murphy). The gang comes to the attention of Major Chester Campbell (Neill), a detective chief inspector in the Royal Irish Constabulary sent over by Winston Churchill from Belfast, where he had been sent to clean up the city of the Irish Republican Army flying columns, the Communist Party of Great Britain, street gangs, and common criminals. Winston Churchill (played by Andy Nyman in series 1 and Richard McCabe in series 2) charges him with suppressing disorder and uprising in Birmingham and recovering a stolen cache of arms meant to be shipped to Libya. The first series concludes on 3 December 1919Black Star Day, the event where the Peaky Blinders plan to take over Billy Kimber's betting pitches at the Worcester Races.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JJG0D4 - On 14 June 2017, a high-rise fire broke out in the 24-storey Grenfell Tower block of flats in North Kensington, West London, at 00:54 BST. 72 people died, including two who later died in hospital, with more than 70 others being injured and 223 people escaping. It was the deadliest structural fire in the United Kingdom since the 1988 Piper Alpha oil-platform disaster and the worst UK residential fire since World War II.
The fire was started by an electrical fault in a refrigerator on the fourth floor. It spread rapidly up the building's exterior, bringing fire and smoke to all the residential floors. This was due to the building's new cladding and the external insulation, since the air gap between them enabled the stack effect. The fire burned for about 60 hours before finally being extinguished. More than 250 London Fire Brigade firefighters and 70 fire engines from stations across London were involved in efforts to control the fire and rescue residents. More than 100 London Ambulance Service crews on at least 20 ambulances attended the scene, joined by specialist paramedics from the Ambulance Service's Hazardous Area Response Team. The Metropolitan Police and London's Air Ambulance also assisted the rescue effort.
Five years after 72 people lost their lives in the Grenfell Tower fire, which broke out on June 14, 2017, the UK government has announced plans to ban the type of cladding used to cover the external walls of the North Kensington high-rise. These revised building regulations are to be put into effect in December 2022.
The inquiry into the disaster concluded, in its first report in 2019, that this cladding polyethylene-filled aluminium composite panels, to be specific was responsible for the fire spreading so quickly..

Brick Lane and nearby Spitalfields, Shoreditch and Whitechapel are well known for changing walls of graffiti, stencil work, posters and murals, with side streets around the area often treated as an open-air gallery. This photograph records the temporary, layered nature of street art, where climate anxiety, jokes, social commentary and visual clutter compete for attention on a wall already thick with previous interventions. The visible words hot date and hot planet make the image strong for searches about global warming, climate crisis, heat, relationships, humour in protest, environmental slogans and climate communication. The scene appears to be photographed in daylight, with no people visible, allowing the painted message and mixed urban textures to carry the story. It can illustrate stories about net zero politics, rising temperatures, climate marches, ecological campaigning, student activism, green politics, public space, East London creativity, alternative culture, tourism, graffiti trails and the use of wit to make serious environmental issues more shareable. The rough surface, overlapping posters, stencilled faces, hand-painted lettering and bright red panel also give the picture commercial value as a colourful London street art image as well as a climate change concept photograph. As with most street art, the exact artwork may be temporary or altered, which adds documentary value for archive, travel, arts, culture and urban regeneration features about Brick Lane, Spitalfields and the wider East End.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AERR9Y - The St George's Tron Church, in Glasgow, Scotland, is a Church of Scotland church in the city centre, located in Nelson Mandela Place, previously known as St George's Place, fronting Buchanan Street at West George Street, along from Queen Street Station. It should not be confused with the 17th-century Tron Church, which lies to the south-west on Trongate and was redeveloped in the 1980s as the Tron Theatre. Located right on the busiest shopping street in Scotland (Buchanan Street), the building is a significant presence, and the oldest in the area. It stands as a terminating vista for West George Street.
The church opened in 1808, originally as St. George's Parish Church, with the original congregation originating from the Wynd Church in the Merchant City near to the Trongate. In 1815 Thomas Chalmers, later to be the leader of the evangelical party in the disruption of 1843, became minister of the church
The building, which was commissioned by the City Fathers was designed by William Stark, was opened in 1808, originally as St. George's Parish Church

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2MG40BY - Bile Beans was a laxative and tonic first marketed in the 1890s. The product supposedly contained substances extracted from a hitherto unknown vegetable source by a fictitious chemist known as Charles Forde. In the early years Bile Beans were marketed as Charles Forde's Bile Beans for Biliousness, and sales relied heavily on newspaper advertisements. Among other cure-all claims, Bile Beans promised to disperse unwanted fat and purify and enrich the blood.
Although the manufacturer claimed that the formula for Bile Beans was based on a vegetable source known only to Aboriginal Australians, its actual ingredients, which included cascara, rhubarb, liquorice and menthol, were commonly found in pharmacies of the period. A court case initiated in Scotland in 1905 found that the Bile Bean Manufacturing Company's business was based on a fraud and conducted fraudulently, but Bile Beans continued to be sold until the 1980s nevertheless.
Formulation and manufacture
Charles Edward Fulford (18701906) and Ernest Albert Gilbert (18751905) first sold Bile Beans in Australia in late 1897, marketed as Gould's Bile Beans. Fulford was a Canadian who had travelled to Australia to sell Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People for his uncle, George Taylor Fulford.
Fulford and Gilbert established the Bile Bean Manufacturing Company in Leeds, England, in 1899. It was claimed that the formula for Bile Beans was created by an Australian scientist Charles Forde in 1898, based on research he had conducted on a vegetable source known only to Aboriginal Australians. In reality, Charles Forde did not exist
the name was used as an alias for Charles Fulford, who had no scientific training

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RBJ9RP - Coney Island is a peninsular residential neighborhood, beach, and leisure/entertainment destination of Long Island on the Coney Island Channel, which is part of the Lower Bay in the southwestern part of the borough of Brooklyn in New York City. Coney Island was formerly the westernmost of the Outer Barrier islands on Long Island's southern shore, but in the early 20th century it became connected to the rest of Long Island by land fill. The residential portion of the peninsula is a community of 60,000 people in its western part, with Sea Gate to its west, Brighton Beach and Manhattan Beach to its east, the Lower Bay to the south, and Gravesend to the north.
Coney Island was originally part of the colonial town of Gravesend. By the mid-19th century, it became a seaside resort, and by the late 19th century, amusement parks were also built at the location. The attractions reached a historical peak during the first half of the 20th century, declining in popularity after World War II and following years of neglect. The area was revitalized with the opening of the MCU Park in 2001 and several amusement rides in the 2010s.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy ED9DN8 - Roadchef was founded in July 1973 by Lindley Catering Investments and Galleon World Travel. The company was originally family owned but in November 1995 was sold to a management team and its most recent change of ownership was to the Israeli Delek Group.
Over the years Roadchef have acquired a portfolio of 20 sites. A large expansion occurred in 1998 when Roadchef agreed to purchase Blue Boar Group and Take A Break for £80 million and thus proceeded to integrate these acquisitions into an enlarged Roadchef Group. At the time, Blue Boar was the fourth largest operator of motorway services areas in the UK with three operational sites and one development site.
The acquired Watford Gap site was the first motorway service area to be opened in the UK in 1959 and is one of the UK's best known sites. A few years ago (according to Google Finance), Roadchef Motorways was one of the largest Motorway Services Area (MSA) operators in the UK, with 21 sites representing 24% of the market and serving some 60 million visitors each year.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AGMNXA - The Advanced Passenger Train (APT) was a tilting high speed train developed by British Rail during the 1970s and early 1980s, for use on the West Coast Main Line (WCML). The WCML contained many curves, and the APT pioneered the concept of active tilting to address these, a feature that has since been copied on designs around the world. The experimental APT-E achieved a new British railway speed record on 10 August 1975 when it reached 152.3 miles per hour (245.1 km/h), only to be bested by the service prototype APT-P at 162.2 miles per hour (261.0 km/h) in December 1979, a record that stood for 23 years.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AA0RPY - A polling place or polling station is where voters cast their ballots in elections.
The phrase polling station is also used in American English and in British English, although polling place is the building and polling station is the specific room (or part of a room) where voters cast their votes. A polling place can contain one or more polling stations.
Since elections generally take place over a one- or two-day span on a periodic basis, often annual or longer, polling places are usually located in facilities used for other purposes, such as schools, churches, sports halls, local government offices, or even private homes, and may each serve a similar number of people. The area may be known as a ward, precinct, polling district or constituency. The polling place is staffed by officials (who may be called election judges, returning officers or other titles) who monitor the voting procedures and assist voters with the election process. Scrutineers (or poll-watchers) are independent or partisan observers who attend the poll to ensure the impartiality of the process.
The word poll means scalp or head. When votes were taken by gathering people together and counting heads, the place where this was done (sometimes an open field) was called the polls

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AA0RPM - George Gideon Oliver Osborne CH (born Gideon Oliver Osborne
23 May 1971) is a British newspaper editor and former Conservative Party politician, who was Member of Parliament (MP) for Tatton from June 2001 until he stood down on 3 May 2017. He served as Chancellor of the Exchequer under Prime Minister David Cameron from 2010 to 2016. He has been editor of the London Evening Standard since May 2017 and chair of the Northern Powerhouse Partnership (NPP) since September 2016.
Osborne worked briefly as a freelancer for The Daily Telegraph before joining the Conservative Research Department in 1994 and becoming head of its political section. He went on to be a special adviser to Douglas Hogg, the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, and worked at 10 Downing Street as well as for Prime Minister John Major's campaign team in the party's unsuccessful 1997 general election campaign, before becoming a speechwriter and political secretary to Major's successor as party leader, William Hague.
Osborne was elected as MP for Tatton in 2001, becoming the youngest Conservative member of the House of Commons.
As Chancellor, Osborne pursued austerity policies aimed at reducing the budget deficit and launched the Northern Powerhouse initiative. After the Conservatives won an overall majority in the 2015 general election, Cameron reappointed him Chancellor in his second government and gave him the additional title of First Secretary of State. During the premiership of David Cameron, George Osborne was widely viewed as a potential future Leader of the Conservative Party
one Conservative MP suggested that the closeness of his relationship with Cameron meant that the two effectively shared power during the duration of the Cameron Government.
Following the 2016 referendum vote to leave the European Union and Cameron's consequent resignation, Osborne was sacked by newly appointed Prime Minister Theresa May, & returned to the backbenches. He became editor of the Evening Standard

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AA0RXG - Unison, stylised as UNISON, is the largest trade union in the United Kingdom with almost 1.4 million members.
The union was formed in 1993 when three public sector trade unions, the National and Local Government Officers Association (NALGO), the National Union of Public Employees (NUPE) and the Confederation of Health Service Employees (COHSE) merged.
UNISON's current general secretary is Dave Prentis. He was elected on 28 February 2000 and took up the post on 1 January 2001.
Members of UNISON are typically from industries within the public sector and generally cover both full-time and part-time support and administrative staff. The majority of people joining UNISON are workers within sectors such as local government, education, the National Health Service Registered Nurses, NHS Managers and Clinical Support Workers. The union also admits ancillary staff such as Health Care Assistants and Assistant Practitioners, including Allied Health Professionals. Probation services, police services, utilities (such as gas, electricity and water), and transport. These 'Service Groups' all have their own national and regional democratic structures within UNISON's constitution.
As a trade union, UNISON provides support to members on work related issues, including protection and representation at work, help with pay and conditions of service and legal advice. Each company or organisation will usually be represented by a particular UNISON branch and members within that organisation elect volunteer stewards to represent them. The stewards receive training in workplace issues and are then able to co-ordinate and represent members both on an individual basis and collectively
