Shabana Mahmood casually saying they're gonna take migrant's jewellery off them has got me thinking about that scene in Schindler's List where the Jewish family wrap family heirlooms in bread and swallow them.

Everyone’s favourite - the ‘Wolf and Twins’ mosaic from Roman Aldborough (Isurium Brigantum) depicting the legend of Romulus and Remus. Dating to the 4th century AD, the mosaic is now part of the collections at Leeds City Museum. 📷 My own. #MosaicMonday #RomanBritain

My medical education, more than 40 years ago, was centred around the male body as the normative human being. As the American feminist and legal activist Catherine Mackinnon wrote only a few years later in Difference and Dominance: on sex discrimination: ‘A male body is the human body; all those extra things women have are studied in ob/gyn’. That was at a time when there was no imperative even to include women in randomised controlled trials of treatment, and they were excluded for many more years because the impact of their pesky hormonal fluctuations got in the way of standardising groups and making comparison between subjects.

This week's #MKMonday photo is in our catalogue as 'May Day fun run in Linford Wood, 1980', but that fails to capture just how much it looks like a still from a slasher film.
