Inside The Publishing House Crafting Visual Histories Of Social Change
"If there's one word to describe our political culture, it's 'decadent...'"
'Westminster has lost a proper understanding of what matters and what doesn't matter,' says @AndrewMarr9, as the Ukrainian Prime Minister warns that there will be World War III if they lose the war.'You can't talk about it without smashing your head against a metaphorical brick wall... and it's self-inflicted.'
@mrjamesob highlights the government and media's preoccupation with Angela Rayner's tax row instead of addressing medical supply chain issues worsened by Brexit.🚨 Rents have gone up by a record 9.2% in a year - far more than wages.
A shocking 40% of private renters who move do it because they're forced to by a rent hike or eviction.
A stable place to live shouldn't be a luxury. Ban no-fault evictions now and bring in rent controls.52-year-old Cecil the campervan still helping clear UK coast of plastic
That England is such a crazy country man, despite all the evidence, 40% of people there still trust the police. Wild.

An ongoing diary of stuff, allsorts, and things wot happen ……
I am a photographer with a special interest to document the lives of travelling people and those attending Festivals, Stonehenge etc, what the press often describe as ‘New Age Travellers’ and many social concerns.
With my photography, I have tried to say something of the wide variety of people engaged in ‘Alternatives’, and youths’ many sub-cultures and to present a more positive view.
I have photographed many free and commercial events and have, in recent years, extended my work to include dance parties (’rave culture’), gay-rights events, environmental direct actions, and protest against the Criminal Justice Act and more recently, issues surrounding the Global Capitalism.
Further, police surveillance has recently become a very important subject for me!
In recognition of this work, received a ‘Winston’ from Privacy International, at the 1998 ‘Big Brother’ Awards. The citation reads: “Alan Lodge is a photographer who has spent more than a decade raising awareness of front-line police surveillance activities, particularly the endemic practice of photographing demonstrators and activists”.
I am based in Nottingham, UK.
Quotes & Thoughts
“Cowardice asks the question, ‘Is it safe?’ Expediency asks the question, ‘Is it politic?’ Vanity asks the question, ‘Is it popular?’ But, conscience asks the question, ‘Is it right?’
And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because one’s conscience tells one that it is right.”
Martin Luther King Jr.“In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance.
In Switzerland they had brotherly love – they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock!!”
Harry Lime [Orsen Wells] The Third Man 1949“Civilization will not attain to its perfection, until the last stone from the last church, falls on the last priest.”
Emile Zola“….I have an important message to deliver to all the cute people all over the world.
If you’re out there and you’re not cute, maybe you’re beautiful, I just want to tell you somethin’- there’s more of us ugly mother-fuckers than you are, hey-y, so watch out now…”
Frank Zappa
