So, Robert Jenrick: I wonder if he would be equally offended if he walked round a neighbourhood where he saw only white faces?

Would he complain about non-integrated communities then?

The Jarrow Crusade, in which 200 unemployed men marched to London calling for government intervention to restore jobs, began on this day 1936. Unsuccessful at the time, but helped to shape postwar attitudes to employment and social justice.

During the four decades of Germany's partition into East and West, Magnum photographers documented the Cold War tensions on both sides of the divided country. Thomas Hoepker, René Burri, Erich Hartmann and Inge Morath captured life behind the Iron Curtain and explored the two faces of Berlin.

On Sunday, #Zürich residents voted 52.8% in favor of increasing parking fees for cars according to weight.

The owner of a BMW X2 (Diesel), which weighs 1,675 kilograms, will now pay equivalent of €717 Euros per year to park on a public street. (Before, about €321.)

Direct democracy!
