I am so glad that I'm not a member of the local rainbow community. Because if I was, I would be despairing at the weasel words the Christchurch mayor and the city council are trotting out about the Destiny Church's despicable disruption of the pride month opening event in Christchurch on Saturday. And it just tells me that people are either scared of taking on the Destiny Church or they somehow think their hatred is okay. So what happened at the weekend is the annual “walk for support” for LGBTQIA+ people wound up at the Bridge of Remembrance, and these muppets from the Destiny Church were there protesting against them. They were carrying signs saying things about puberty blockers and child abuse and telling the people there to “repent”. They also had a speaker system there, which they shouldn't have. But no one did anything about it. Which is why a local rainbow campaigner is saying that the city council should apologise for not shutting down this illegal protest driven by nothing more than hatred. And I agree. But I don't think that's going to be coming anytime soon, considering the weasel words being trotted out by mayor Phil Mauger and the council's chief executive. Phil Mauger is saying that everyone has the right to protest but it was “not polite” of the Destiny Church to set up their loudspeakers right beside the event. He says it was “quite disappointing”, but he's pleased things didn't get out of control like they did when the Destiny Church went awol at that pride event in Auckland the other week. So that's the mayor. But it gets even worse with what the council's chief executive is saying. Mary Richardson says: “We have to respect other people's democratic right to protest, even if we don't agree with their views.” And the strongest action the council took was to send out a noise control officer - who found that there weren't any noise limit breaches. Do me a favour. That's not all. There's some classic passing-of-the-buck going on, with the council saying that it's the job of the police to deal with public disturbances and the police saying permission to set-up loudspeakers is the job of the council and so the council has to deal with it, which is why the noise control officer was sent out. But could you get a more lame response if you tried? But remember that this isn't the first time that the Christchurch City Council has turned a blind eye to the Destiny Church. You'll remember how it waived $50,000 in fines that it had sent the church for the disruption caused by its anti-vax mandate protests during covid. That was all to do with Destiny Church not following the rules, not working with the council so it could make sure that traffic management was sorted. But the council ripped those tickets up. Derek Tait from Destiny had a cup of tea with former mayor Lianne Dalziell and all was forgiven. And it's doing the exact same thing with these weasel words about the Destiny crew's behaviour on Saturday. This is the council, let me remind you, that was all in favour of putting a rainbow crossing somewhere in town. Which, when it comes down to it, doesn't take much fortitude. Yes, paint the crossing. I'm all for it. But, when it comes down to it, painting a road crossing is nothing like staring down those clowns from the Destiny Church and telling them that their messages of hatred are not welcome. And telling them that we've had a gutsful of them not giving a damn about the rules. Rules that you and I would be expected to follow. And, if we didn't, there'd be consequences. Not if you're the Destiny Church, though, it seems. So I'm with the pride campaigners who are saying today that the council could've and should've done a lot more on Saturday when the Destiny muppets turned up at this event. But the council didn't - and, for that, it should apologise. But that's not all. The mayor and his council need to condemn Destiny Church for their messages of hatred. If the strongest thing Phil Mauger can say is that “wasn't polite” of them to do what they did, then don't expect them to pull their heads in anytime soon.

I don't know whether Mary Richardson is a martyr or a mug. But, I tell you what, the acting chief executive at Christchurch City Council has shown outstanding leadership, not just outstanding leadership - she's also shown outstanding political nous with this $100,000 pay cut. She demanded it because of the financial pressures the council and ratepayers are dealing with, which I believe has gone down very well with staff. Not just because of that, but also because, generally people at the council like her, which is quite an achievement for someone working in senior management anywhere. But there's going to be a sting in the tail for everyone working at the council and the rest of us who use council services that'll get to. Mary Richardson has been acting chief executive since former council boss Dawn Baxendale quit suddenly late last year, and all along she's made it clear that she's not interested in the job full-time and would only be there until the council appoints a new person. But they haven't been able to, thirty-seven people applied for the job. It came down to a shortlist of three but Councilors didn't think any of the candidates were what or who they wanted and so they went to Mary Richardson and said “How ‘bout it? Want the job.” Mayor Phil Mauger obviously did a good job because she agreed to take it on but has told the council she doesn't want to do a full five-year term and has agreed she'll stick around until June 2026. Her other provision was that she be paid $100,000 less than the money Dawn Baxendale was on. I reckon most people in her position would milk it for what they could, I'll be honest, I would. If I was Mary Richardson and I had Phil Mauger come to me saying they bombed-out in the recruitment process and would you please take the job, I'd be saying “I'll do it - but I want to be paid at least as much as the last chief executive". In fact, I'd probably push my luck a bit because if you don't ask, you don't get. Not that Mary Richardson is denying herself too much, because she'll still be on a salary of $450,000 which is still a good wicket by anyone's means. But here's the sting in the tail I mentioned earlier and here's why I think she has shown outstanding leadership and outstanding political nous. It has been made very clear that local councils up and down the country are on notice from the Government to cut costs. Time-and-time again, the Prime Minister and the Local Government Minister have said councils need to look and learn from what's been happening in government departments and agencies. Councils need to do the same and live within their means. Mary Richardson has obviously heard that, then she's put a stake in the ground starting with what she herself gets paid as head honcho. It's not an act of goodwill, it's a statement of intent, a statement much more powerful than any new vision and mission statements that might have been trotted out by the 37 people who thought they should be chief executive. By insisting on a $100,000 pay cut, Mary Richardson has signalled a period of austerity at the Christchurch City Council. If she has any of her people coming to her between now and mid-2026 saying they want to pay their staff more, what do you think her attitude is going to be? When the chief executive takes a $100,000 pay cut, what does that say to the rest of the organization? It says forget about pay rises. When Mary Richardson has people saying they can't do things any differently or more cheaply because it's all been tried before - she has given herself license to demand that they try again. That's what happens when the person at the top takes a $100,000 pay cut. When someone says they need more staff - No sorry, that's what happens when the person at the top takes a $100,000 pay cut. When the person at the top takes a $100,000 pay cut explicitly because the council and ratepayers are under financial pressures, that makes it very clear that you and I can't just keep on demanding more of this and more of that from the council. So while Mary Richardson will be admired today and respected, inside and outside the city council for taking a significant pay cut, we need to see it for what it really is .What it really is, is the beginning of significant belt-tightening at the Christchurch City Council.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lula Deans Little Library of Banned Books by Kirstein Millar   Beverly Underwood and her arch enemy, Lula Dean, live in the tiny town of Troy, Georgia, where they were born and raised. Now Beverly is on the school board, and Lula has become a local celebrity by embarking on mission to rid the public libraries of all inappropriate books—none of which she's actually read. To replace the “pornographic” books she's challenged at the local public library, Lula starts her own lending library in front of her home: a cute wooden hutch with glass doors and neat rows of the worthy literature that she's sure the town's readers need.  What Lula doesn't know is that a local troublemaker has stolen her wholesome books, removed their dust jackets, and restocked Lula's library with banned books: literary classics, gay romances, Black history, witchy spell books, Judy Blume novels, and more. One by one, neighbors who borrow books from Lula Dean's library find their lives changed in unexpected ways. Finally, one of Lula Dean's enemies discovers the library and decides to turn the tables on her, just as Lula and Beverly are running against each other to replace the town's disgraced mayor.  That's when all the townspeople who've been borrowing from Lula's library begin to reveal themselves. That's when the showdown that's been brewing between Beverly and Lula will roil the whole town...and change it forever.    Ask Not: The Kennedys and the Women They Destroyed by Maureen Callahan  For decades, the Kennedy name has been synonymous with wealth, power, and—above all else—integrity. But this carefully constructed veneer hides a dark truth: the Kennedy men's legacy of physical and psychological abuse of women, part of a tradition of toxic masculinity that spans generations and has ruined untold lives. Through scandal after scandal, the family and their defenders have managed to keep this shameful story out of the spotlight. Now, in Ask Not, bestselling journalist Maureen Callahan reveals the Kennedys' hidden history of abuse and exploitation, laying bare their rampant misogyny and restoring women to the center of the dynasty's story: from Jacqueline Onassis and Marilyn Monroe to Carolyn Bessette, Mary Richardson, Rosemary Kennedy, and many others whose names aren't nearly as well known – but rightfully should be.  Drawing on years of fierce reportage and written in electric prose, Ask Not is a long-overdue reckoning with this fabled American family, showing how the Kennedy myth and their raw political power has enabled the clan's many predators while also silencing generations of traumatized women and girls. At long last, Callahan also redirects the spotlight to the women in the Kennedys' orbit, paying homage to those who freed themselves—and giving voice to the countless others who could not do the same.    LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sometimes a single act can resonate across the ages, its impact felt through generations, both politically and personally. In 1914, the feminist suffragette Mary Richardson slashed a painting called “The Rokeby Venus” by Diego Velasquez in the National Gallery in London, to raise awareness for the feminist cause. This event is the central trauma driving the great novel “Asunder”, written by my guest today, the Mexican & American novelist Chloe Aridjis and published 10 years ago. Her main protagonist, Marie, is a museum guard at the National Gallery, for whom the slashing has a very personal aspect, as her great-grandfather was the guard on duty at the time of the attack in 1914, who failed to stop the attack.  This is a subtle and contemplative novel that asks questions around the small crack and large tears around our lives. In today's episode, we talk about Chloe's writing process and methods, the direction of her novel, the central event of the 1914 slashing and how it compares to today's actions. As usual, I also ask Chloe about her inspirations and recommendations in terms of books she's read and enjoyed.  Her favourite book that I've never heard of: “The Haunted Screen”, by Lotte Eisner Her favourite book of the last 12 months: “The Blue Fox”, by Sjon The book she would take to a desert island: The short stories of Franz Kafka The book that changed her mind: The works of Thomas Bernhard Buy Asunder: https://amzn.eu/d/0PBQJy2 Follow me ⁠⁠⁠@litwithcharles⁠⁠⁠ for more book reviews and recommendations!

In recent months, headlines around the world have blared the news of a startling new trend of activism where protesters physically attack famous artworks with paint, food, and glue. The activists are trying to draw attention to global issues of climate change and museum ethics, and agree or disagree, you can't argue that their tactics are making waves and fines or jail time aren't stopping them. This week we're re-airing a conversation that delves into this complicated issue. On October 14, two activists, Phoebe Plummer and Anna Holland, walked into the National Gallery in London and threw a can of tomato soup on Van Gogh's Sunflowers while wearing shirts that read JUST STOP OIL. The action was part of a larger cycle of disruptive occupations and direct action by environmentalists in the UK, demanding dramatic action to cut fossil fuels in the face of climate change—but the Van Gogh soup attack by far drew the most media attention. Indeed, the tactic of using attacks on artworks to get their message out has caught on with campaigners this year, with environmentalists in at least half a dozen countries making headlines with spectacular actions in museums—gluing themselves to famous pieces, spray-painting the walls around them, or throwing food at artworks. These actions have, in turn, touched off a fierce debate among observers and activists alike about the art-attack tactic. Is it the kind of desperate move needed to shock the public into action when nothing else seems to work? Or do the actions repel otherwise sympathetic observers, isolating a movement that needs to scale up dramatically?   London-based art journalist Farah Nayeri is a frequent contributor to the New York Times, and the author of the recent book Takedown: Art and Power in the Digital Age, which looks at how the digitally empowered activism of the last ten years has changed what the public expects from a museum. In an essay for Artnet News responding to these new museum actions, she wrote about the long history of vandalizing art for a cause, from suffragette Mary Richardson slashing Velazquez's Rokeby Venus more than a century ago, to protests within British museums against oil giant BP's sponsorship over the last decade. This week, we're revisiting Artnet News's national art critic Ben Davis conversation with Nayeri about this history, and what the stakes of the new protests truly are.

Covid-19 disrupted school systems worldwide. Many children are still out of school. One of the issues impacted by school closures has been education assessment. How should students be assessed on their learning when school buildings are closed? Is it fair to hold tests when online learning has patchy coverage? And what happens if high stake tests can’t be held? Today I speak with Mary Richardson about how coronavirus impacted education assessment in England and how government, schools, universities, and students responded. Mary Richardson is an Associate Professor of Education (Assessment) at the UCL Institute of Education, University College London. Prior to joining academia, she was a Senior Research Officer in the department of Research and Statistics for AQA conducting national studies relating to school-based examinations, testing regimes in schools and the impact of testing on children alongside the key role in awarding national examinations. https://freshedpodcast.com/richardson/ -- Get in touch!

Ben's companies test the safety and efficacy testing required for potential medical devices and future legal drugs. Outside of getting to know Ben's career, you will learn a bit about how he founded a new lab, the complexities of regulated research for new products, the role of quality, efficiency and consulting-based services, problem-solving and focusing on a niche, as it relates to the eye and its diseases.  In contract research, clients such as pharmaceutical and medical device companies, outsource the testing that is desired or required to ensure their product is safe for humans.  In this week's episode, you will get a glimpse into the how contract research supports the legal drug market. This interview with Ben is special because Ben has an approachable way of explaining his role to both insiders such as drug developers as well as anyone, he may meet at a bar-b-que, as he references!  Ben's skill for teaching is evident in his ability to summarize both his business and the CRO industry's role in providing key differentiators in an ever-changing marketplace and economy thanks to scientific innovation!  Ben and his progressive leadership team uniquely position themselves from their client's eyes in order to advise on the fastest and safest way to get their product to market.  Ben proudly exudes his servant-leadership approach and highlights some of the diversity represented on his leadership team including his co-founder (Dr. Mary Richardson, PhD, DABT) and other women scientists that are highly engaged, expert and innovative.  On top of all of that, Ben's zoomed in approach to contract research services is one of collaboration over competition.  Under his consultancy group, for example, his team is able to guide clients to the most suitable strategy for speed and support so no data are wasted or redundant!  Finally, listen through to the end of the interview to understand what keeps Ben's drive so laser-focused on what he describes as life-enhancing and life-changing medicines and medical devices.   The Legal Drugs Podcast is honored to dedicate this episode to Ben, his wife, Laura, and their son, Anthony, whom lost his battle with addiction nearly four years ago.  May Anthony forever rest in eternal peace.  For resources, support groups and treatment center referrals, please call 1-800-662-HELP or go to SAMHSA.gov.

Soms is een beeldenstorm de actie van één enkele persoon. In 1914 drong de suffragette Mary Richardson de National Gallery binnen in Londen. Met een slagersmes doorkliefde zij het doek ‘Venus bij haar toilet’, beter bekend als de ‘Rokeby Venus’ van Diego Velázquez. Met kunsthistorica Katlijne Van der Stighelen en filosofe Petra Van Brabandt.

On March 10th 1914, suffragette Mary Richardson attacked a priceless painting in London's National Gallery with a meat cleaver. She was campaigning for women's right to vote in Britain.
