And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept" (Mark 14:72). In the Gospel of Matthew 16:19, Jesus says to Peter, "And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."

The first person in England to be convicted of a cyberflashing offence has been jailed for 66 weeks.

Nicholas Hawkes was convicted under the Online Safety Act after cyberflashing became an offence in England and Wales on 31 January.

The 39-year-old, from Basildon in Essex, was already a convicted sex offender when he sent unsolicited images of his genitals to a 15-year-old girl and a woman on 9 February, the Crown Prosecution Service said.

Southend crown court heard on Tuesday that Hawkes asked to use his father’s phone to call probation. He went into another room, where he sent the indecent photo via WhatsApp to a woman in her 60s. Minutes later, on the same device, he sent an explicit image to the child over iMessage, who was said to have been left “overwhelmed and crying”.

Both victims took screenshots of the messages and the woman reported him to Essex police the same day.

David Barr, prosecuting, said the offences “fall as part of an established pattern of behaviour of the defendant”.

Despite his previous offending, Hawkes has reportedly not received any treatment. Though he was offered 12 appointments with a psychiatrist, he never received them as the waiting list was too long, the court heard.

Hawkes admitted during an earlier hearing at Southend magistrates’ court to two counts of sending a photograph or film of genitals to cause alarm, distress or humiliation.

Cyberflashing can involve offenders sending people an unsolicited sexual image on social media, dating apps, Bluetooth or Airdrop. Victims of the offence and other image-based abuses receive lifelong anonymity under the Sexual Offences Act.

Hawkes was on the sex offender register after being convicted last year of sexual activity with a child under 16 and exposure, for which he received a community order.

On Tuesday, he pleaded guilty to breaching the order and breaching a suspended sentence for another sexual offence.

He was jailed for 66 weeks and handed a restraining order for the woman and the girl lasting 10 years, and a sexual harm prevention order banning him from approaching women who he does not know on public highways and in parks for 15 years.

LECHAN YN Y GWAED | welsh (+ welsh descendant) ocs | part two: frank

You wouldn't think it from looking at his name or hearing him, but Frank is of Welsh descent; both of his parents are Welsh, having originally come from quarryman's town Blaenau Ffestiniog (near the Eryri National Park) in Gwynedd, before they moved to Dagenham/London for work and then to Basildon in Essex to raise their family. This means that he is, technically speaking, a 1st generation immigrant to England, having been born and raised there. His only tangible connection to Blaenau is having been there as a kid during school holidays to visit family, and knowing/understanding but not being able to speak very much Welsh (and using that area's slang). He knows all the nursery rhymes/child-level limericks (Gee Ceffyl Bach, Dau Gi Bach, Fuoch Chi Erioed Yn Morio), the national anthem, and folk songs and is able to recite/sing them in the original language -- but, aside from the odd swear word and basic phrases picked up from his parents, that's about as far his ability in the language really stretched. Before he died, he had been learning more conversational Welsh in his spare time and had even taught Suzy some things so she could share in his heritage -- both particularly liked listening to bands such as Bwncath. Thanks to his parents, and having gone out of his way to learn it for himself, Frank is very much aware of Welsh history but is especially knowledgeable about the cultural and industrial history of North Western Wales and its relation to quarrying (and a very specific, unique kind of blue-purple slate, and everything attached to that - including the people & quarries involved - is now protected under UNESCO World Heritage). He knows the Nid Oes Bradwr (There Is No Traitor) history better than anything and, in the 80s, he made a point of pasting a homemade sticker version of the sign that read 'Nid Oes Bradwr Yn Y Band Hwn' (There Is No Traitor In This Band, essentially meaning 'No Scabs In This Band') onto his bass guitars and he had hand-printed a whole series of T-shirts with the same phrase on the front and frequently wore them on UK-based television appearances as an act of solidarity with Welsh miners who were striking. Although he is in his right to refer to himself as a Welshman and he does actively engage with the language, culture, and history, Frank feels it would be disrespectful because he was born in England and therefore considers himself an Englishman. He has even turned down an arbitrary Honorary Welshman title from cousins (and their friends) after Odd Foxes got big because he doesn't think it's right to call himself that when he wasn't born in the 'mamwlad'. Before he died, he was very much pro-independence and outright stated so multiple times, because he felt like Wales should be free to properly rule/govern itself instead of being stuck to the imperial colonial country next door's idea of a 'union'.

Day One Hundred and Nine

On we go for the final push!

The A2 is horrifically busy as I push through the evening, but I decide to keep firmly out of the traffic and slowly schlep along the pavement.

Not technically legal but I keep a low pace to avoid inconveniencing pedestrians, and even a few of them comment that they don't blame me for avoiding the road proper. I even ride alongside a few police vans who similarly turn a blind eye.

On through Chatham and Rochester, it's a busy Saturday night with plenty of revelry and carousing going on as I plod on through the streets and iver the River Medway.

Out the other side of Strood, the A2 converts from a suburban thoroughfare to a major dual carriageway. Fortunately there is a loop around through some back roads here to head along the trails beside the traffic.

I'm very glad I packed my bike lights as the route through the forested sections is pitch black, and out beside the road is little better. Though my front light has taken some water damage over the trip and is being pretty temperamental; I can only hope it manages to hold on through the night.

I maintain a slow and steady pace to carry on as if there are any obstructions or holes in the road then I won't see them until the last moment.

The dark trails lead on, periodically emerging into the light to navigate around a junction before sliding once more slipping back into the depths of night.

The trails finally begin to peel away from the A2 as the pavements join the A296 to lead in to Stone, where some navigating through the streets takes me up to the large junction at the Dartford Crossing.

Cycling isn't allowed through the tunnel nor over the bridge, but there is a free government-run service to take bicycles across. I follow the cycle trail round the junction and down to the waiting area, which has a dedicated phone line to call for a pickup.

I haven't even touched the phone when I'm greeted by a nearby worker for the Highways Agency and within the blink of an eye the bike is loaded onto the back of a van and securely tethered with bungee cords.

Onwards! I'm driven around the maintenance roads and down into the tunnel under the River Thames, accompanied by an escort of flashing warning lights from the agency vehicle ahead of us. Very swiftly it's over to the dropoff point north of The Thames and I'm back in Essex for the first time in over three months.

Time for the home stretch! Up along the paving past Lakeside Shopping Centre, I headnout from Grays and onto the A1013 as it heads along beside the more tradficked A13 to reach Stanford-le-Hope, before skirting around the edge of Basildon to get around the nastier parts of the A13.

Many of the street lights in the region are turned off in the quieter parts of night here, and the roads are again bathed in darkness which makes for very slow and careful progress.

There's a stiff climb up into Hadleigh, then some more cautious riding to lead down through Leigh-on-Sea to head back to the shoreline, where the street lighting is much improved.

A few climbs are surmounted around the cliffs by Leigh, before I roll down to pick up the cycle pathing at Westcliff-on-Sea and begin the last push eastwards.

It's on past some major locales of my childhood here, with the ride heading along Southend seafront and its famously long pier lit up over the water.

Past the arcades and amusement park, I roll on along the coast with the sound of the waves lapping the shore.

The Thames Estuary has long flat plains leading very far out, meaning the water can be over a mile away at low tides. I feel fortunate that my timing means the sea is present for the last few miles.

Around Gunners Park and through the twists of The Garrison, I head down to East Beach at Shoeburyness.

This is the very final piece of navigable coastline possible to reach on my long journey, and being the closest beach to where I grew up is one I have many memories of.

As I have done at many points along my journey, I head down and touch the sea one last time, before saddling up for the final furlong.

With perfect timing, my front light finally gives up the ghost as I hit the road at Shoebury, but even in the depths of night I know this stretch by heart.

Along the road and around the fields I head up and into Great Wakering, where I departed three and a half months ago, to be greeted by my lovely mama.

I'm done! Damn! I can still barely believe this incredible adventure is at an end. It'll sink in sooner or later I'm sure, but in the meantime I think I'll be getting some much needed downtime to recover from months spent on the road.

I'll be making a few summary posts in time, including stats for the journey, kit list, and others including the thanks owed to so many amazing dolk who have helped me along on this voyage.

In the meantime, I think I've earned a drink. In fact, several. I'm going to get drunk.

TTFN!

Body Shop to shut 75 stores and cut hundreds of jobs

Getty Images

By Dearbail Jordan

BBC News

The Body Shop will close 75 shops in the UK over the coming weeks and cut 489 jobs, according to the firm overseeing its restructuring.

It means that, combined with cost-cutting at the company’s head office, between 750 and 800 people will be made redundant.

However, The Body Shop will keep 116 UK stores open.

The UK arm of the global beauty chain was put into administration earlier this month.

Shops will be closed over the next four to six weeks. FRP Advisory, which is managing the restructuring, said it would “support all impacted staff with claims to the Redundancy Payments Service”.

“In taking swift action to right-size The Body Shop UK store portfolio, we have stabilised the business,” said FRP Advisory’s Tony Wright.

“We remain fully focused on exploring all options to take the business forward.”

The Body Shop was a trailblazer – what went wrong?

The Body Shop was founded in Brighton in 1976 by the late Dame Anita Roddick who opened a single shop in the seaside town. Known for its natural beauty products and its stance against testing on animals, it expanded rapidly in the following years.

Dame Anita and her husband Gordon sold the business to French beauty giant L’Oreal in 2006, much to the chagrin of some loyal followers who viewed the French beauty giant’s business at odds with The Body Shop’s ethos.

Since then, The Body Shop has changed hands twice, most recently to private equity firm Aurelius in late 2023. Within weeks, it decided to place the UK arm in administration following poor sales over Christmas and January.

Wildly popular in the 1980s and 1990s, The Body Shop appeared to fall out of fashion as competitors arrived in the natural beauty market including Lush and Rituals.

[ad_1] Yesterday’s jump in the oil price has raised concerns that interest rates could be kept higher for longer to fight inflation, hurting growth.Susannah Streeter, head of money and markets at Hargreaves Lansdown, explains: ‘’The downbeat mood on the markets is continuing, with little to lift sentiment in sight, as oil prices stay elevated and inflationary fears are pushed back up. Brent Crude is still hovering around $90 a barrel, after jumping sharply on news that Saudia Arabia and Russia appear intent on extending voluntary cuts through to the end of the year. Riyadh’s decided to take 1 million barrels a day out of the market until the end of December, and Moscow following suit with a similar, but smaller, reduction has led to concerns about supply on world markets. Builder Barratt reduced workforce after mini-budget turmoilBarratt has also revealed that it has cut 6% of staff since the turmoil last autumn following the government’s mini-budget.David Thomas, Barratt’s CEO, told shareholders: As the slowdown in the market became apparent in late September 2022, we began a headcount freeze which has reduced our number of employees by 6% since the end of the first quarter. We have continued to invest in priority areas including sustainability, building safety and in our IT infrastructure but are only hiring where additional skills are required by the business. We have also scaled back discretionary spend in other areas. Then-chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng delivered the mini-budget on 22 September 2022. His plans for unfunded tax cuts sent the pound plunging to a record low and drove up UK borrowing costs, making mortgages much more expensive.Barratt announced a hiring freeze in January, as demand for new homes weakened.UK housebuilder Barratt warns of difficult marketUK housebuilder Barratt has warned this morning that the backdrop “will continue to be difficult over the coming months”, as it confirms plans to build fewer homes this year.In its full year results, Barratt says it completed 17,206 homes in the year to 30th June, a 3.9% drop on the 17,908 it built in the previous 12 months. Pre-tax profits rose almost 10% to £705m (but fell 16% on an adjusted basis).In the current financial year, Barratt plans to build between 13,250 and 14,250 new homes, a sharp drop on last year.It tells shareholders that high borrowing costs are hitting demand, saying: Whilst there remains a clear need for increased housebuilding in the UK, short-term demand has been impacted by mortgage affordability challenges. Shares in Barratt have dropped 1.7% in early trading.The developement group @BarrattHomes posted today a £705.1mn pre-tax profit for the year to June 30, down nearly 10% on the previous financial year and a 3.8% drop in operating margin.

Here’s the story:Government slow to take action to recover £1.1bn losses from Covid supportThe UK government has been unacceptably slow to recover more than £1bn lost to fraudsters who took advantage of the coronavirus business support program, a parliamentary report says.A report published today by the Public Accounts Committee finds that by May this year, the government had only recovered £20.9m of an estimated £1.1bn in fraud and error losses on its business support schemes in the pandemic.That’s just 2% of the amount lost.The PAC says that Department for Business and Trade (DBT) officials have argued that checking payments is very expensive, there are legal questions about the ability to recover some payments, and it will be “incredibly hard” to recover much of the losses.The PAC is urging the Government to set out the specific steps it will take to tackle this fraud and error, to recover funds and restore public trust.The government provided £22.6bn of support to businesses after Covid-19 hit the economy, but the PAC says we still don’t know what impact that support had, or how much of it was not needed.Public Accounts Committee Chair, Dame Meg Hillier MP, says fraudsters took advantage of the schemes, so ministers must be “rigorously prepared” to avoid a repeat.Hillier says: The lack of planning from Government also meant that a door was left wide open in these schemes to fraudsters who took shameful financial advantage of schemes that were designed with national solidarity in mind. It is simply not good enough to give up on recovering this money simply because it is difficult to do so. Public trust is harmed if the Government shrugs its shoulders at criminals lining their pockets with state support.” Official data released in July showed that more than half of all company directors struck off in Britain in the past 15 months were involved in alleged fraud or abuse of Covid-19 financial support schemes.Fraudulent claims included a roofer who applied for a £13,000 loan and spent it on gambling in three weeks, while another director applied for a loan and used it to buy class A drugs, the Observer reported:Updated at 08.00 BSTBrexit, high inflation and shortages of skilled workers are all weighing on the UK economy.David Bharier, head of research at the British Chambers of Commerce, explains: “Our latest forecast reflects how many SMEs firms are struggling to rebuild confidence following three years of economic shocks. Prolonged inflation, skills shortages, and new trade barriers with the EU have fed into a climate of little or no growth. “A rapidly increasing proportion of SMEs are also now worried about interest rates, which have dramatically raised borrowing costs in many cases. “With further trade barriers looming, leading to higher import costs, and tightness in the labour market persisting, it is difficult to see how large-scale investment will be unlocked. Government needs to work with business to develop a clear path for the economy to promote investment and growth.” Introduction: Fragile UK economy 'teeters on edge of recession'Good morning, and welcome to our rolling coverage of business, the financial markets, and the world economy.The UK economy is set to flatline for the next six months, but it will ‘feel a lot’ like a full-blown recession for millions.That’s the warning from the British Chambers of Commerce this morning, which fears economic activity in the UK’s ‘fragile economy’ will remain very weak throughout 2024 and 2025.The BCC expects the next two quarters to flatline, leading to overall growth of 0.4% for the year.This means the UK economy remains on course to avoid a technical recession, but growth is likely to remain so feeble that it will be hard to spot the difference, the BCC warns.It has also slashed its forecast for the next two years, as the economy is hit by rising inflation and high interest rates which squeeze disposable income and household spending.The UK economy expected to grow by just 0.3% in 2024 (down from a previous forecast of 0.6%), rising to 0.7% in 2025 (down from 1%).The BCC warns: Consistently low economic growth of this nature is comparable to previous periods of economic shocks and recessions such as the oil crises of the 1970s and financial crash of 2008. 🗣️@realVickyPryce: "The BCC forecast shows the UK economy is teetering on the edge of a recession. But the fact is, that with growth predicted to hover so close to zero for three years, it will still feel a lot like one for most people and businesses."👇https://t.co/Equ88oE3hZ— BCC (@britishchambers) September 6, 2023Vicky Pryce, senior member of the BCC Economic Advisory Council, says: “The BCC’s latest forecast shows the UK economy is continuing to teeter on the edge of a recession. But the fact is, that with growth predicted to hover so close to zero for three years, it will still feel a lot like one for most people and businesses. “The impact this will have on consumer spending, coupled with a poor trade performance, will only generate more uncertainty for firms. There is currently little on the table to provide companies with any crumbs of comfort, Pryce fears, adding: As we head towards an election next year, politicians will have to show how they will work with the business community to find solutions.” The BCC predicts that inflation will have dropped to 5% in the final quarter of the year – enough to hit the government’s target of halving inflation in 2023. But, it fears CPI won’t reach the Bank of England’s (BoE’s) 2% target until the last three months of 2025.Wages are expected to rise a little faster than inflation in 2024 and 2025.Also coming up todayTop brass from the Bank face a grilling at parliament today. BoE governor Andrew Bailey will be questioned over inflation and rising interest rates, which hit a 15-year high last month.Fighting inflation became a little harder yesterday, when the oil price hit $90 per barrel for the first time this year after Saudi Arabia and Russia said they would cut output until the end of the year.The agenda 8.30am BST: Eurozone construction PMI report for August 9.30am BST: UK construction PMI report for August 10am BST: OECD Economic Survey of the EU and euro area 10am BST: Eurozone retail sales for July 2.15pm BST: Bank of England governor to be questioned on inflation and rising interest rates by the Treasury Committee [ad_2]

Coat and Waistcoat, 1760s. Uncut and voided silk velvet.

This coat and waistcoat would originally have been part of a suit with breeches of the same fabric. The common form of a gentleman’s suit at this time was a matching three piece, or matching coat and breeches with a contrasting, probably pale-coloured, waistcoat, as can be seem in contemporary portraits (see Pompeo Batoni’s portrait of Humphry Morice at Basildon Park, Berkshire, compared to those of John Simpson of Bradley Hall by Joshua Reynolds in a private collection and Welbore Ellis, Baron Mendip, by Thomas Gainsborough, 1769, Christ Church Oxford ). Silks were woven specifically for use as men’s wear; small allover designs in one or more colours being characteristic of the middle decades of the 18th Century. Many surviving garments are made of cut or uncut velvet in warm shades such as this red. More informal and practical coats, like that in the Related Item, were of wool. The coat and waistcoat show the beginnings of changes in style that were to become increasingly evident over the following decades. The front edges of both garments have started to curve backwards, forming an inverted V shape that would allow part of the breeches to be seen, and the waistcoat is noticeably shorter than the coat. The shoulder line is narrow and unemphasised, and the neck has a shallow stand collar that was a forerunner of the high collars of the 1780s and 1790s. The two garments, together with other items of menswear of around the same date, were offered to the John Bright Collection as French theatrical costume. Their linings have been marked with identification numbers and symbols, and some also have the stamp of the Théâtre Impérial de l’Odéon. This Parisian theatre was inaugurated in 1782 by Marie Antoinette, and, undergoing a number of name changes, became the Théâtre Impérial from 1852 to 1870, during the Second Empire rule of Napoleon III, thus establishing the period of the acquisition of these clothes by the theatre’s wardrobe department. Many surviving 18th Century garments owe their existence to having been used as theatrical or fancy dress in the following century. The back of the waistcoat has been modified with a strap and buckle for adjustment.
