MEETING OF THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION AT BIRMINGHAM: PROFESSOR PHILLIPS...IN THE TOWNHALL, 1865. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Meeting of the British Association at Birmingham: Professor Phillips, the President, delivering the Inaugural Address in the Townhall, 1865. 'There were probably about 1500 ladies and gentlemen present; but the hall is so vast that even a much larger audience would scarcely make the place appear to be full. The roof and columns are lavishly decorated, while the galleries and area are quite plain. The assemblage of learned men on the platform was imposing enough...there were present Sir Charles Lyell, Professor Phillips, Sir Roderick Murchison, and a strong muster of the notabilities of science; also Lords Stanley and Lyttelton and several knights and baronets. In the audience there was a fair proportion of ladies, while amongst the other sex, both here and on the platform, there was that remarkable diversity of physiognomy which seems to be a peculiar effect of the pursuit of science. Professor Phillips delivered his address very quietly, and was not heard distinctly throughout the hall. The meeting was slow to applaud, and it was not until the ice had been broken by the allusion to the scientific balloon ascents of Mr. Glaisher that cheers followed the periods in their due order'.

The Knight of Kerry briefly addressed the large concourse of ladies and gentlemen, yeomen and peasantry...[and] expressed his gratification at this auspicious commencement of the work, and called for three cheers for the Atlantic Telegraph Cable, and...for Sir Robert Peel...[who] spoke, with his wonted energy, of the political, social, and commercial benefits which would be secured if the cable should prove successful'.

Christmas Entertainment to the Inmates of the Greenwich Union-House, 1864. 'Through the liberality of Mrs. Angerstein, wife of the member for Greenwich, the [workhouse] inmates...were...brought together in the great hall to commemorate the beginning of the new year...Between 900 and 1000 of the inmates, men, women, and children-not excluding the imbecile and insane- assembled in the dining-hall. The hall was tastefully decorated with flags...whilst at the head of it, in front of which gas-jets ran, raised on a stand, were eight magnificent Christmas trees, the two centre reaching to the ceiling, about 12 ft. high, and the whole being laden with prizes-toys for the children, and small bags of snuff, tobacco, and tea for the old people. The eight trees bore on their illuminated branches three thousand of these New-Year's gifts. There was a large attendance of visitors and members of the board of guardians...The nurses of the establishment having first received some useful articles of warmth, the distribution fairly commenced...the recipients of the prizes, who were distinguishable either by age or infirmity, as they came forward, having some kind words addressed to them and hopes expressed for their future happiness'.

LORD PALMERSTON MAKING THE MINISTERIAL STATEMENT ON DANO-GERMAN AFFAIRS..., 1864. CREATOR: MASON JACKSON.
Lord Palmerston making the ministerial statement on Dano-German Affairs in the House of Commons on Monday, 1864. 'Every seat in the body of the house, and the very steps in each gangway, were occupied...[by] persons anxious to obtain the first intelligence of the decision of the Government on the Danish question...[Prime minister] Lord Palmerston...proceeded to give an outline of the circumstances which had led to the Treaty of 1852, and to the subsequent events down to the invasion of Schleswig. Up to that occurrence, he observed, all the parties to the Treaty of 1852, not excepting Prussia, had acknowledged the importance of maintaining the independence of the kingdom of Denmark...Remembering, however, that Denmark had originally been In the wrong; that she had rejected a proposal which might have led to the restoration of peace; that France and Russia, for reasons which no doubt were satisfactory to themselves, were indisposed to give any material support to Denmark; and, seeing that the whole brunt of any effort to dislodge the Germans from Schleswig and Holstein would fall upon England alone, her Majesty's Ministers did not consider it was consistent with their duty to advise the Queen to undertake such an enterprise [ie to go to war]'.

Ausgerechnet am Wochenende des 20. April, dem Tag, an dem Adolf Hitler Geburtstag hatte, veranstaltete die AfD Niedersachsen ihren Landesparteitag in Unterlüß – jenem niedersächsischen Ort, in dem Rheinmetall Defence einen Standort betreibt. ..Schon in den frühen Morgenstunden war das “Bürgerhaus Südheide” durch Hamburger Gitter und Polizeikräfte geschützt. Gut 50 Aktivist:innen, die versucht hatten, die Zugänge zum Bürgerhaus zu blockieren, wurden von der Polizei festgesetzt und erhielten ein Aufenthaltsverbot für den Ort Unterlüß. Andere Aktivist:innen konnten die Anreise der AfD-Politiker zeitweise unterbrechen und stören. Auch Maximilian Krah, Spitzenkandidat der AfD für die Europawahl 2024, wurde bei der Anreise gestört. Während Polizeikräfte die Gegendemonstrant:innen aus dem Weg schubsten, um Krah einen Weg zu bahnen, wurde der AfD-Politiker unter anderem mit Gebäck beworfen und von allen Seiten angeschrien. ..In unmittelbarer Nähe zum Parteitag im Bürgerhaus fand ab 11 Uhr eine Kundgebung gegen die AfD statt, an der sich nach Angaben der Veranstalter:innen 3000 Menschen beteiligten. Auf der Bühne sprachen auch Jens-Christian Wagner, Direktor der Gedenkstätten Buchenwald und Christoph Bautz von Campact...Auf dem Parteitag haben die rund 170 Delegierten einen neuen Landesvorstand gewählt.
