My second book, A History of Council Housing in 100 Estates, is a full colour hardback so not cheap but it's currently discounted and obviously worth every penny. It would make a wonderful Christmas present for someone special in your life. 😊

Loath as I am to share a J Harris article (an anti Corbyn courtier in 2027 /19), this is all true... As well as being a professional photographer, I also lead a trust that saved, refurbished and now runs a youth club in S E London: www.groveparkyouthclub.co.uk

The revolutionary new MULTIDECK…

Thanks to the Bristol Post for this scan of an ad for the opening of Bristol’s iconic Rupert St car park. Due to be demolished for a couple more unimaginative boxes of student accommodation.

I firmly oppose the government’s plans for compulsory digital ID cards.

This is an affront to our civil liberties, and will make the lives of minorities even more difficult and dangerous.

It is excessive state interference — and must be resisted.
