Two men charged with felling the Sycamore Gap tree go on trial in the UK.

A majestic sycamore tree that once sat symmetrically between two hills along Hadrian's Wall was felled more than a year-and-a-half ago.

The tree was far from Britain’s biggest or oldest, but when it was mysteriously felled in 2023, it caused disbelief and heartbreak for many across the country who considered it an almost sacred site.

Courtyard of the Teutonic Castle in Sztum, Poland

The photo shows a view from the preserved part of the castle onto the courtyard with the 19th-century Prussian court building.

The castle, built by the Teutonic Order in the years 1326-1335, was intended to protect the route to the more important fortress in Malbork, which had been built earlier.

The stronghold was burned and recaptured by Polish troops heading for Grunwald in 1410. Then, as a result of the Thirteen Years’ War, the castle in Sztum became the seat of Polish starosts.

The most important history of the castle can be actually concluded in the 17th century. As a result of the Swedish wars, the castle was reduced to ruin. During the Deluge, it was destroyed by a two-hundred-strong Swedish force, and the ruins were additionally partially demolished by the Prussian authorities.

Two wings of the castle have survived to this day, along with the remains of the towers and the peripheral walls. They were rebuilt in the 19th century. In the most characteristic of them, you can see the stump of the prison tower. You can also admire the peripheral walls, the remains of the gate tower, and the courthouse and prison building added in the 19th century. The castle in Sztum, unlike other Teutonic strongholds, is not built on a quadrangle plan, but an irregular pentagon. This is related to the shape of the island on which it was located. The island between the Sztum and Barlewickie lakes provided natural protection.

Supreme Court ruling 'considered' over Ladies' Pond trans access - BBC News bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cj68pk

This news report, in my mind shows what is wrong with the supreme court judgement on trans people.

They say trans woman have been swimming in the pond for years, WITHOUT incident, but now they are deciding if they can swim there or not.

If it hasn't been a problem in the past, why should it be a problem in the future?
