List of Orthopteroid genera containing species recorded in Europe

This list contains extant European genera of the "Orthopteroid" orders (or Polyneoptera) that are often studied and written-about together. With the limited fauna in the British Isles, it is relatively easy to include organisms to species level: as in the list of Orthoptera and allied insects of Great Britain. However, the whole continent - defined here biogeographically as the part of the Palaearctic realm West of the Ural mountains, including all islands - encompasses a much greater diversity (well over 1000 species) that includes a number of recently erected and little-known genera. The list may also be of interest outside Europe, since for various historical reasons, the continent is home to the type species of many higher taxa: to family level and above ("e.g. Tettigonia viridissima", the great-green bush cricket, is type for its genus, tribe, family and superfamily: the Tettigonoidea). Searches have been carried out the authoritative "Species Files" for the following sections of this list: The focus has been on native species, but some genera marked with a *, may contain species that are probably introduced, cosmopolitan or other vagrant organisms.

Sargood Centre

The Sargood Centre is the common name for the former Exhibition Art Gallery, located at 40 Logan Park Drive in Dunedin, Otago. It is registered as a Category I heritage building by Heritage New Zealand. The building was designed by Edmund Anscombe as the art gallery for the 1925 New Zealand and South Seas International Exhibition. The building is considered of "outstanding historical significance" as it is the only exhibition building from any of New Zealand's exhibitions that is still intact and in situ, and one of only eight worldwide. Construction began in 1924 and was completed in 1925. The building is of brick and concrete construction. After the international exhibition, the gallery was purchased for the Dunedin Public Art Gallery, thanks to a significant donation from Percy and Lucy Sargood, in memory of their son Cedric. Since 1997 it has housed sports organisations and a function room. History. The gallery is situated in Logan Park, close to the University Oval and Logan Park Grandstand, designed by Anscombe in 1929. The building was originally part of seven pavilions designed by Anscombe for the 1925 New Zealand and South Seas International Exhibition. The other exhibition buildings were made of temporary materials, however lending requirements of the art owners for the exhibition meant the gallery space was constructed differently. A wing was added in 1951, funded by Lucy Sargood and named the Sargood Wing. Further additions included a two-storey addition in 1968, which included a storage block and a conservation space, followed by an art education block in the 1970s. In 2000, two gallery spaces were demolished. Complete demolition was later proposed to extend the cricket ground to international standards. This was avoided and the subsequent refurbishment plans, by conservation architect Jackie Gillies, involved removal of partitions, recreation of the original portico, and strengthening of the main gallery. A representative of the Sargood family hailed the plans as a "fantastic compromise". Construction and layout. The gallery is of brick and concrete construction, and was single storey. The other exhibition buildings were made of temporary materials, however lending requirements of the art owners for the exhibition meant the gallery was built differently. The gallery was lit through skylights with reflective baffles, which directed light onto the walls below and left the central spaces comparatively dark. Samuel Hurst Seager, at that time President of the New Zealand Institute of Architects and a specialist on gallery lighting, called the space "one of the best lighted galleries I have seen anywhere, and I have traveled all over the British Isles and the Continent for the special purpose of studying the lighting effect in their galleries." He also admired the lay out: "the very excellent arrangement of the building into eleven small galleries, designed not only to give visitors easy access from room to room, but also to permit certain works to be placed in positions that enabled one to get those long, distant views so desirable for some pictures." Usage. After the international exhibition, the gallery was purchased by the Dunedin Art Gallery Society and the Dunedin City Council for the display of the city art collection. The purchase was made possible thanks to a significant donation from Percy and Lucy Sargood, in memory of their son Cedric. The art collection has previously been housed on Cumberland Street but the premises were too small, noisy and dirty, and the roof leaked. The city art collection was moved to the Dunedin Public Art Gallery on Moray Place in 1997. Since 2005 the Academy of Sport and Otago Rugby have been tenants in the building.

Claret cup (beverage)

Claret cup is a type of wine cocktail that was popular in 19th-century western Europe and North America. The basic ingredients of claret cup are chilled claret or similar wine, carbonated water, sugar, and flavorings that supply a citrusy or herbal aroma. One 1877 recipe called for dissolved cane sugar, a bottle of claret, two thin lemon slices, one cucumber peel, a glass of sherry, a spoonful of brandy, a spoonful of noyeau or maraschino, and grated nutmeg. Then blend, wait, taste test, and add ice and a bottle of carbonated water. The lighter recipe subtracted the sherry and brandy, doubled the soda water, and added a few drops of almond extract. A strong cup was suitable for drinking with dinner, a lighter one might consumed after sport, such as badminton or cricket. An 1895 recipe from America added a little curaçoa liqueur and garnished with mint sprigs; the same cookbook suggested that someone wanting to make a "claret cup (English style)" build off the base American recipe but add "a few strawberries" and borage. An 1879 recipe for "superior" claret cup suggested a ratio of two bottles of claret to one bottle of champagne, plus three glasses of sherry, one glass of noyau, half a pound crushed ice, with a borage or cucumber-curl garnish. Other recipes used grated cinnamon, allspice, cloves and cardamom instead of nutmeg; some added orange slices or even pineapple chunks. Riffs on the basic recipe added a broad range of other flavors including Kirschwasser, rhubarb wine, violet syrup, or ginger beer (one at a time, not all together). Common garnishes and herbal flavorings included the edible borage flower, lemon verbena, citronella oil, and sprigs of mint or lemon balm. Variations on the theme included the champagne cup, hock cup, Chablis cup, burgundy cup, cider cup, and Moselle cup, each with adjustments to the amount of sugar. There was also a variation called Claret Cup à la Henry VIII (although it is unclear how Henry VIII is involved in the matter): The various "wine cups," as they were called, are best when "fresh and sparkling" and thus it was recommended that they be prepared immediately before the opening of a party. An 1894 British etiquette guide firmly advised readers on the correct service of claret-cup: "Champagne-cup and claret-cup are, in the country, served on a separate table, or in an adjoining room. Small tumblers and champagne-glasses should be placed upon the same table...in town, where space is made the most of, these drinks are usually placed on the sideboard. A manservant should be at hand to pour out the cup as required." Claret cup can be served out of jugs, glass pitchers, or a punch bowl. One guide to fancy beverages recommends preparing and consuming claret cup in the summer months, "regulating the proportion of ice to the weather." In wintertime, mulled claret cups would be served from pots of claret, heated low and slow with sugar and a cinnamon stick, and served warm. The refreshment of claret cup gets a nod in Edward Lear's volume of light verse "More Nonsense". Soda water, sugar, ice and "burrage" for preparing a claret cup are referenced in the lyrics of "Thespis" (1871), the first comic-opera collaboration of Gilbert & Sullivan. Claret cup is served, to the general satisfaction of the characters, in George Bernard Shaw's "You Never Can Tell" (1897). , a popular beverage in South America with a similar formula, is a direct borrowing into Spanish from the English-language "claret cup."

It is the 165th overall episode of the series and was written by executive producer David Hornsby and directed by Richie Keen. It originally aired on FXX on June 14, 2023. The series follows "The Gang", a group of five misfit friends: twins Dennis and Deandra "(Sweet) Dee" Reynolds, their friends Charlie Kelly and Ronald "Mac" McDonald, and Frank Reynolds, Dennis' and Dee's legal father. The Gang runs the fictional Paddy's Pub, an unsuccessful Irish bar in South Philadelphia.

According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 0.279 million household viewers and gained a 0.13 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received very positive reviews from critics, who praised the humor, guest performances and callbacks to previous season. Plot. Paddy's Pub is selected to appear in an episode of "Bar Rescue". Mac (Rob McElhenney) is enthusiastic, but the rest of the Gang are not, as they despise reality television. Mac reaffirms that their luck will favor them. The next day, strange events start happening: Dee (Kaitlin Olson) wakes up with Bell's palsy, Dennis (Glenn Howerton) is unable to fully express his thoughts, and Frank (Danny DeVito) finds blood in his egg. Despite Mac's insistence that they are fine, Charlie (Charlie Day) believes they were cursed. Among many things that may have contributed where when Dee insulted her neighbor, Bertha Fussy (Rhea Perlman); Frank killing a seagull who entered the bar; and Cricket (David Hornsby) literally cursing Mac for his mistreatment. Charlie advices them to fix their mistakes and avoid bad luck. Dennis has Dee apologize to Bertha, although he is more interested in retrieving a trophy she gave away. A black cat crosses their path, disturbing Dennis. Bertha then states that she had a black cat named Maureen that died, making Dennis alarmed at remembering Maureen Ponderosa. Mac apologizes to Cricket, who lifts his curse. Mac starts using a monkey's paw for good luck, getting to finally meet Chase Utley. However, Utley only agreed to meet him to catch baseball with his "dying son", so Mac tries to find a kid to pretend to be his. Charlie asks Bonnie (Lynne Marie Stewart) about Frank's curse, and she suggests that he should give the seagull a proper burial since it could possess the spirit of a sailor. Dennis returns to the bar, revealing that he kept Maureen's ashes in an urn. Her will asked for Dennis to bury her in a pet cemetery, which he refused, but believe this may be his curse. After failing to find a kid, Mac reveals to the Gang that his monkey paw was found from a dead monkey, whose corpse is still in the pub. To fix everything, Charlie gets the gang to bury the seagull, the monkey, and Maureen's ashes in the pet cemetery, making it appear that it was Mac's son. When Utley asks Mac about his son, he reveals that he lied and believes in superstitions. To his surprise, Utley states that baseball is based on superstitions. He then steals Mac's monkey paw and flees from the cemetery. Dennis then realizes that his and Dee's conditions are the product of mold and Frank's egg was actually a seagull's egg. Mac is also informed that "Bar Rescue" has rescinded their offer after no one was present at the pub, making him think they are still cursed. Dennis states there is no bad luck happening to them. When Cricket asks about his bad luck, Frank plainly states that he was born under a cloud and that's just how it will always be for him. Production. Development. In May 2023, FXX reported that the third episode of the sixteenth season would be titled "The Gang Gets Cursed", and was to be directed by Richie Keen and written by executive producer David Hornsby.

"The Gang Gets Cursed" received very positive reviews from critics. Ray Flook of "Bleeding Cool" gave the episode a 8.5 out of 10 rating and wrote, "There is no other sitcom out there that could tackle the heavy topic of faith vs. fact and how, even in the face of what we know is common sense, we will still lean on our superstitions for comfort. And that sometimes those very same superstitions can be our own worst enemy." Michael Boyle of "/Film" praised Mac's storyline, writing, "It's possible that Utley's Hall of Fame ambitions won't go as smoothly as he hopes, and he might be unfortunate enough to cross paths with Mac yet again. Mac might not have achieved his lifelong dream, but if he plays his cards right, he might still get another shot." Rendy Jones of "Paste" praised the use of returning characters, writing , "You can sense how everyone in the show heavily missed their presence, and they make up for it by giving them ample screen time in multiple episodes. Even Rickety Cricket gets some time in the sun in the episode 'The Gang Gets Cursed', which Hornsby penned." Emily Zemler of "The New York Observer" considered the batch of episodes as "slightly more hit or miss", but highlighted the return of Chase Utley and Jack Kelly.

Omics files a lawsuit against Jeffrey Beall, seeking damages of $1 billion. Effective January 2017, Jeffrey Beall resigned from his services at Colorado University and shut his blogs. However, no further follow-up was made about damages of $1 billion in legal affairs.

Subscription models are followed by the majority of Western publishing companies, including academic publishing companies of United States. In April 2019, the court imposed a fine of US$50.1 Million on Omics companies. Omics' lawyer said that this was an unfair allegation and that Omics had sued the US Federal Trade Commission for $3.11 billion in damages, saying it had caused loss of revenue and reputation. Srinubabu commented on the case filed by the Federal Trade Commission. "The Federal Trade Commission's allegation is completely wrong... They don't know what a journal is. Don't know what peer review is. They are illiterate in this matter. But scientists are not illiterate, they know which article to publish in which journal." In politics.

Arbroath Athletic F.C.

Arbroath Athletic Football Club was a Scottish association football club based in the town of Arbroath, Angus. History. The club was founded on 4 August 1922 as Arbroath United, which was also the name of a cricket team. The club applied to join the Scottish Football Association almost instantly but its application was deferred, because of an objection by Arbroath F.C. over the name. By 16 August the club had changed its name to Arbroath Athletic and the Scottish FA accepted it as an associate member. The club entered the Scottish Qualifying Cup in 1922–23 with a view to participating in the Scottish Cup, and, by reaching the Qualifying Cup semi-final, the club was able to enter the first round of the Cup proper. In the first round, 2,000 saw Athletic lose 3–0 at home to Ayr United. The same season saw the club enter the Eastern League, but it was the final season of that competition after three clubs left to join the Scottish League. Indeed, Athletic was the only one of the entrants never to play in the Scottish League. It did explore the possibility of playing in the new Third Division, on the basis that it was the only club in the defunct league not to have an alternative league place but was rejected on the logical basis that the town of Arbroath was too small to support two League clubs; even in 1931 Arbroath was half the size of Perth, which only had one semi-professional club, and less than half the size of Ayr, whose two League clubs had merged before World War 1. After the start of the 1923–24 season, Athletic was invited to play in the Perthshire League to ensure even numbers, but the club was not a good geographical fit, and only played 5 out of the scheduled 14 games; Arbroath won all five, but the title was awarded to Dunkeld & Birnam, who had a negative goal difference after 7 wins and 4 defeats - one of the latter being 7–3 to Athletic. Athletic did not find an alternative league and was forced into playing cup competitions alone. It twice more won through the Qualifying Cup to play in the first round of the Scottish Cup. In the 1924–25 Scottish Cup the club lost at Kilmarnock; in the 1926–27 Scottish Cup it lost 7–0 at home to Dundee United. It entered the Forfarshire Cup from 1925–26 to 1928–29 but never won a tie. The attempt at a second senior side in a town the size of Arbroath was always quixotic, and, without a suitable league or regular income, the club was doomed. It scratched from the national and county cups in 1928–29, being unable to raise a team, and the club was formally struck from the Scottish FA register in March 1929, as it had scratched from the Scottish Cup in consecutive seasons. Colours. The club's original plan was to play in maroon shirts with white collars, but following objections from Arbroath F.C. - whose traditional colour maroon was (and is) - the club adopted blue. Ground. The club played at Hospitalfield. Nickname. Despite not playing in the same colours as the older team in town, the club did share the nickname, being referred to as the Red Lichties more than once in the local media as it was applied to town more than team at the time. The club was also more logically known as the Blues.

Ram Salojee

Rashid Ahmed Mahmood "Ram" Salojee (24 March 1933 – 2 December 2020), often misspelled Ram Saloojee, was a South African politician, medical doctor, and former anti-apartheid activist. Between 1994 and 2009, he represented the African National Congress (ANC) in the Gauteng Provincial Legislature and both houses of Parliament. Salojee rose to prominence through the local civic movement in Lenasia, where he ran a medical practice. His erstwhile political party, the People's Candidate Party, dominated the Lenasia Management Committee from 1973 until 1977, when Salojee changed his stance on participation in apartheid structures and withdrew from the committee. He subsequently became a prominent figure in the Congress-aligned anti-apartheid movement in the Transvaal, and from 1983 he served simultaneously as the vice-president of the Transvaal Indian Congress (TIC) and the Transvaal branch of the United Democratic Front (UDF). Early life and education. The eldest of twelve children, Salojee was born on 24 March 1933 on his family's farm in Kliprivier in the former Transvaal province. His nickname, Ram, comes from the first three initials of his name. His family had close links to Mahatma Gandhi's satyagraha movement, and his father was a leading member of the TIC. In addition to periods at the Ferreira Indian Primary School and Johannesburg Indian High School, Salojee spent five years at the Waterval Islamic Institute, where he studied the Quran. After matriculating in 1951, Salojee attended the University of the Witwatersrand, where he completed a MBBCh in 1958. Much later, while serving in Parliament, Salojee wrote in a letter to the "Mail & Guardian" that, "I was never made to feel a part of my Alma Mater. Overt discrimination, subtle prejudices and exclusion from the social milieu left me feeling empty, deficient and unfulfilled." After a decade of practicing medicine in Nylstroom, he completed further training at Johannesburg's Coronation Hospital in 1964 and thereafter settled in Lenasia, where he spent much of the rest of his life. Anti-apartheid activism. While practicing medicine in Lenasia, Salojee became a prominent figure in the local civic movement. He was a founding member of the Lenasia Resident's and Ratepayers Association, among other organisations, and he was also active in local sport administration organisations, himself an ardent cricketer. In 1973, Salojee established the People's Candidate Party (PCP) to contest the inaugural elections to the Lenasia Management Committee, established to give South African Indians nominal political representation in the governance of the area. The PCP performed exceedingly well in the elections, and Salojee was elected to the committee. According to Salojee, his participation in the committee was motivated by the objectives of advocating for residents' socioeconomic needs and preventing the committee from falling under the control of opportunists, but his stance was at odds with the mainstream of the Congress Alliance and Black Consciousness movement, both of which largely opposed such participation as legitimising apartheid structures. In July 1977, in the aftermath of the Soweto uprising, Salojee announced that he had come to agree with the latter view and withdrew his party from the management committee. He denounced the committee as a "glorified advisory board" and said that Indians had nothing to gain from participating in apartheid structures. Later, when the Anti-SAIC Committee was established in the Transvaal to organise boycotts of the South African Indian Council, Salojee became one of the committee's vice-chairs. The activities of the Anti-SAIC Committee led to the formal relaunch of the TIC in May 1983, and Salojee was elected as deputy president of the congress, deputising Essop Jassat. Later the same year, the UDF was established, and Salojee became the vice-president of its Transvaal branch. His increased visibility in the anti-apartheid movement through the TIC and UDF led in 1984 to increased persecution by the police's Security Branch. Following the UDF's largely successful campaign to boycott the 1984 general election, Salojee's house was raided, and he was detained at John Vorster Square from 21 August 1984 to 10 December 1984. Upon his release, he was subject to a banning order until July 1985, when he was arrested again while at work at his surgery. He was held in solitary confinement for 81 days before he was moved due to petitions by his wife and his lawyer, Priscilla Jana. Released on 11 November 1985, he was subject to another banning order, and he was detained once again from 12 June 1986 to 31 July 1986 following another raid at his home. Legislative career. In South Africa's first post-apartheid elections in 1994, Salojee was elected to represent the ANC in the National Assembly, the lower house of the new South African Parliament. He served in his seat until January 1996, when he was transferred to an ANC seat in the Senate. He was subsequently moved again once more, now to Gauteng Provincial Legislature, where he was re-elected to full terms in 1999 and 2004 and where he served until he retired at the 2009 general election. In 2001, while chairing the provincial portfolio committee on health and during the HIV/AIDS epidemic, Salojee deviated from the position of President Thabo Mbeki's government in advocating for the provision of anti-retroviral drugs to rape victims. During his last speech to the chamber in March 2009, Salojee reflected:I sometimes feel unfulfilled. I do not know whether we are still living in the liberation struggle era or are we now in the modern era of an economic and industrial state... What about the vulnerable, the ill, the denied, the poor, the unemployed?... the poor who have [not been] given greater opportunities, which we have not been able to offer, unfortunately, even in the fifteen years of our democracy. Personal life and religion. Salojee was a devout Muslim and his religion fuelled his activism. Asked in a 1981 interview whether he feared the brutality of the apartheid state, he replied that his faith required him to "oppose injustice and racism. As a Muslim I am committed to act and function within the total existence of my faith, which makes no division between social, political, economic, and recreational spheres of life." He was president of the Islamic Council of South Africa in the mid-1990s, in which capacity he publicly condemned militant Muslim involvement in People Against Gangsterism and Drugs. In February 1960, Salojee married Sara Makda, who predeceased him. They had two children, a daughter and a son. He was diagnosed with diabetes in 2011 and two of his limbs were amputated. He died on 2 December 2020 at his home in Westcliff, Johannesburg and was buried in accordance with Islamic rites at Westpark Cemetery.

1987 Bullingdon Club photograph

In 1987, a photograph was taken of uniformed members of the Bullingdon Club featuring many people who went on to hold prominent positions in finance, business, media and government, including future Prime Ministers David Cameron and Boris Johnson. The Bullingdon Club is an all-male private dining club for Oxford University students known for its wealthy membership and unruly behaviour. The image was published in the UK media in 2007 and bolstered criticism of Cameron, who at the time was Leader of the Opposition, for being elitist and out of touch with ordinary people. The copyright holders of the photograph then withdrew permission for the image to be reproduced, which greatly reduced its circulation. Despite this, attempts to broadcast the image have still been made such as the commissioning of a painting of the photograph by the BBC and the photograph being displayed on the front page of the "Daily Mirror" in 2010. Other photographs of the Bullingdon Club featuring senior Conservative politicians have since emerged. Cameron later expressed his embarrassment over the photograph and remorse for his membership of the Bullingdon Club. Background. The Bullingdon Club is a private dining club for male Oxford University students. The club is known for its excessive consumption of alcohol and raucous behaviour, including vandalism of restaurants and student rooms. Formed in the 1700s as a society for cricket and hunting, the club has a long association with the British upper class with former members including Jacob Rothschild, Peter Palumbo and Richard Scott. Future Prime Minister David Cameron was invited to join the Bullingdon Club at the end of his first year at Oxford University. People who knew Cameron at the time have said that he was not a typical Bullingdon Club member as he had a careful demeanour and was not known to be a heavy drinker. Other future prominent Conservative politicians who were members of the club around this time included Boris Johnson and George Osborne. Photograph. The photograph shows members of the 1987 Bullingdon Club positioned on steps outside Christ Church, Oxford. The men are dressed in the club's uniform of tailcoats, blue ties, beige waistcoats, velvet collars, silk lapels and monogrammed buttons which at the time cost around £1,000. Bullingdon Club members in the photograph. One of the 10 students in the photograph (standing at right, next to Johnson) has not been identified publicly. Publication and withdrawal of permission to use. In 2007, the picture came to public attention after it was published in a biography of Cameron by Francis Elliott and James Hanning and in "The Mail on Sunday". Circulation of the image occurred close to media coverage regarding Cameron's use of cannabis while at Eton College. The image was seen as proof of how different politicians like Cameron and Johnson were from normal people and raised questions around Cameron's wealth and class. Labour politician Roy Hattersley called the image "far more embarrassing" than the recent cannabis story. Political commentator Peter Hitchens said it showed Cameron "is not the ordinary bloke that he claims to be". Johnson's sister, Rachel, described the picture as "elitist, arrogant, privileged and of an age that would have little resonance with people on low incomes who didn't go to Eton." Perry-Robinson, who was one of those photographed, described the photograph as "sexy" and "an interesting artefact historically". The same year the copyright holders, Gillman and Soame, a photographer company based in Oxford withdrew any permission to reproduce the image. This led to accusations that the picture had been covered up. Both the Conservative Party and Gillman and Soame denied collusion around this decision. Gillman and Soame explained their action was part of a "policy decision" not to allow publication of any of their school images. It was suspected that the Labour Party intended to use the image on campaign posters. After authorization to reproduce the image was withdrawn, the photograph was rarely published. To circumvent the copyright protection, Michael Crick from BBC program "Newsnight" commissioned a painting of the photograph to use on the program instead. The artist Rona Marsden, who at the time was not aware of the full story regarding the photograph, was hired to create the painting. "Newsnight" filmed Marsden painting in her studio in Oxford. She travelled with the painting to the BBC's London studios as the paint was drying. The painting has been reproduced by a number of newspapers. Marsden was allowed to keep the painting and has sold prints and tea towels reproducing it. The painting was auctioned in 2016. The photograph was used on the front cover of the "Daily Mirror" on the day of the 2010 general election despite the risk of repercussions for breaching copyright laws. Writing in the paper, Tony Parsons said the photograph "is the picture that David Cameron really, really doesn't want you to see". The "Daily Mirror" argued that the image is "in the public domain and its publication is absolutely in the public interest". In the first edition of the paper, a dummy image was used instead to make sure that their front page was shown in television coverage the evening before the election. The online edition of the "Daily Mirror" did not use the image and instead linked to a file of the image hosted by the "Daily Mail." Writing for "The Guardian", Anne Perkins called the front page "one of the great election pages" and said it captured "the sense of distance between privileged and ordinary" that looked to be an on-going issue for Cameron. Legacy. Cameron has expressed regret over the photograph and his time in the Bullingdon Club. In a 2009 interview with Andrew Marr, he said he was "desperately, very embarrassed" about the photograph. In his biography, Cameron detailed his shame over the "much-reproduced photograph taken of our group of appallingly over-self-confident 'sons of privilege'". Cameron wrote, "If I had known at the time the grief I would get for that picture, of course I would never have joined." The 2009 docudrama "When Boris Met Dave" featured a scene recreating the photograph. The programme dramatized the antics of the Bullingdon Club at the time when Johnson and Cameron were members. A photograph of the Bullingdon Club taken in 1988 was published in the media in 2015. The photograph was found by an Oxford University student newspaper on the wall of Oxford clothes shop Ede & Ravenscroft, which makes the uniforms for the club. The photograph again featured Cameron with other club members posing on steps outside a building. Like the 1987 photograph, the newer photograph was seen as bolstering criticism that Cameron was out of touch with ordinary people. A 1992 photograph of the Bullingdon Club featuring George Osborne and Nathaniel Rothschild was published in multiple newspapers in 2008. The photograph gave the impression of Osborne having had a privileged upbringing. Osborne said it was embarrassing to see the photograph of himself "dressed up like a penguin". The photograph was recreated by homeless people in 2019 for use in an exhibition by a homelessness charity. In 2020, a group of black Oxford University students took a photograph in a similar style to the photograph. The image was intended to promote higher education to young people.
