About this deal

REVEALED: The 'super comfortable' power leggings from Sweaty Betty that gym goers can't get enough of To many Welsh people, the proposal was just one further example in a long history of English oppression. It had started with the arrival of the Anglo-Saxons, who had overcame the Brittonic kingdoms that had inhabited the island since the Iron Age, leaving only the ones that lived in the area we now call Wales. Under Henry VIII, the Brittonic language was banished from law courts, schools, palaces and mansions, forcing Welsh-speakers to learn English. Indeed, it was not until 1999 that Wales was granted its own parliament meaning that, when the issue of Capel Celyn’s future came to Westminster in 1962, the motion was passed overwhelmingly despite the nearly unanimous opposition of the Welsh MPs.

Shadowlands by Matthew Green – Review - On: Yorkshire Magazine Shadowlands by Matthew Green – Review - On: Yorkshire Magazine

Written by a historian, although at times the writing seemed to be more enthusiastic amateur, with the disadvantages that the book can veer off into purple prose (The top of the pines floated in the wind, lofty and conspiratorial, the faint paths pathetic against their might”), peppered with fragmented personal descriptions, reminiscences or suppositions (regularly using modifiers such as “likely”, “say”, “it is even possible”). Historian Matthew Green takes the reader on a lyrical but completely immersive historical tour of Britain’s lost towns and villages. He takes us on a visit of eight, lost places, lost in completely different way, but not forgotten. Green has managed to untangle the stories of what became ill-fated places, including Winchelsea which was lost to the sea.Viewers say graphic violence on post-watershed TV is now the 'norm'... but portrayal of sex has become fairer to women It’s said we Britons love an underdog, and Shadowlands is a shrine to them, ‘the places that slipped through the fingers of history’. IF the purpose of structure is “to provide a sense of permanence in a natural world that never stands still”, as Matthew Green posits in Shadowlands: a Journey through Lost Britain, then the purpose of ruins might be to remind us of the essential futility of that ambition. Ruins, writes Green in this gripping travelogue cum history of Britain’s disappeared places, “are at once of their time, yet derailments of it, too, bringing the singularity – and fragility – of the present into stark focus”. King Charles expresses 'sorrow and regret' over Britain's colonial past - but stops short of a full apology during state visit to Kenya Ariana Grande and Elizabeth Gillies dress as Nomi Malone and Cristal Conners from Showgirls... 10 years after starring on Victorious
