The first public protest against slavery in the British North American colonies originated in Philadelphia's Germantown neighborhood by a group of four men whose shared egalitarian beliefs sparked the beginning of the abolitionist movement.

It’s fair to say that the proposed move has raised a few eyebrows on both sides of the border. He isn’t a player whom Celtic have had their eye on for some time. Oxlade-Chamberlain, just like so many before him, will realise very quickly that reputations count for absolutely nothing in these parts. If he was deemed good enough for the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool, then he is undoubtedly good enough for Celtic.

In the Times article, Born and Bread on Senhouse Street in the town was named as one of the 16 micro bakeries around Britain to try, amid a rise in popularity of 'small batch' baking and micro bakeries. In her assessment of Born and Bread, writer Sophie Wilkinson said: "This bakery, founded in 2023, is headed up by Stuart Eve, a former Royal Marine and National Trust worker who has worked hard to conserve all that’s good and great about Cumbria. "He now makes a straightforward range of sourdough breads, garlic and rosemary focaccia, soda bread, white teacakes, white sandwich loaves and baguettes. "All perfect fuel for stomping along the nearby coastline or taking a trip to the nearby Lakes. Stuart opened the artisan bakery back in August 2024, selling sourdough loaves, teacakes and baguettes, along with cinnamon rolls and Cumberland sausage rolls with meat sourced from Peter Walsh’s butchers in Maryport.
