- This has made a total nonsense of the government’s decision to proscribe Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation. Together with the Mandelson affair the government’s face is now 100% egg.
- Virtually every song with Auto-Tune. I have to switch them off immediately otherwise I’ll throw the radio out of the window.
- If the emails of every billionaire were published I imagine most of them would have to go into hiding and hundreds of politicians all over the world would end up resigning or in prison.
- Trump supporter at the extreme right wing ‘Christian’ nationalist anti-immigration ’Walk With Jesus’ on Saturday. The lights are back on, but there’s nobody home. #Photography
- When he is gone they should convert this into a new National Museum of Immigration, celebrating the positive contributions of immigrants to the success of America over the centuries.
- Nobody seems to have mentioned that Boris Johnson appears in the Epstein files 96 times. Here he is with Farage and Rees Mogg.

- “Jaywalking is permitted in London. In 1966, the police tried to crack down on it, but gave up after three months.” People walk and cycle on roads by right, people drive under licence. Jaywalking is not a thing in English law and Waymo must not change that. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
- Their only purpose is to put taxi drivers out of work. When are people going to stand up against this constant attack on working people?
- I’m really surprised that more people haven’t seemed to realise that the primary purpose of AI is the transfer of wealth from workers to corporations. I’m also surprised more governments haven’t understood what it means for their tax income. The entire grift is a mugging of us all in plain sight.
- I will be photographing the mass lobby of Parliament on the 17th of March on a pro bono basis for the Palestine Solidarity Campaign. It’s a very important event for trying to prevent the government from passing even more draconian anti-protest legislation.
- The UKIP ‘Walk With Jesus’ protest on Saturday. Only surprise was they didn’t burn the crosses at the end. #Photography
- I was going to document the entire protest but lost the will to live by the time it reached John Lewis so gave up and went for a coffee instead.
