😡🥊😡🥊😡🥊😡 And so it begins … the privatisation of local government . Be afraid, people. Once they own your town, they will own you. This is not democracy as we know it. This is asset grabbing on a humongous scale. And it would be the slithy Gove #GeneralElection

Pleased and proud to be on the organising team for the second Octavia Hill lecture for National Trust - thanks mary beard, a fantastic evening. How can me make “the indistinguishably grand and posh” meaningful, useful and enjoyable in people’s lives?

‘Throughout the 1980’s, high-profile uprisings revealed the strength of anti-racist feeling across the country.’ If you’re worried about what’s happening right now, go to the Photographing Britain (80’s) exhibition Tate. Reminds you of what ordinary citizens have done.
