We live in truly interesting times...
...Saw this sign on my way to the office the other morning...
...Then saw this one-man street market on the way back...
I remember back in '88 seeing rows and rows of cardboard boxes outside shops and in doorways as I travelled from the West End on the clubbers night bus home...It took me a couple of weeks to realise that these boxes were occupied by people - homeless people.
Although this time 'round our fates are in the hands of a (New) Labour government, our elected representatives still prefer to bail out big businesses (banks) rather than support the people who are really suffering. The lost of dignity starts when you witness such blatant injustice on your own doorstep and realise you're powerless to do anything about it...
