The name 'Aysgarth' is from Old Norse, brought by Viking settlers to the area. It means 'open space in the oak trees'. The falls have attracted famous figures for over 200 years, including Wordsworth, J.M.W. Turner, and Ruskin.

Love that Trump tries to distance himself from his pedo pal, by saying Epstein was "a lifelong Democrat who donated to that party". Presumably hoping nobody mentions that SO WAS HE - until he realised that the Dems would never nominate him and jumped ship about ten minutes before the 2016 primaries.

On Waterfall Wednesday we're sharing this view of Thornton Force along the Ingleton Waterfalls Trail. The River Twiss drops 14 metres off a cliff of limestone that was laid down over 350 million years ago.

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?
But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.
But that's just me

The “magic money tree” exists: it’s in the City of London with the billionaires.
What’s missing isn’t money, it’s political will. Establishment parties bankrolled by billionaires aren’t going to tax their donors.
We are not going to take this anymore.
