Place Distance & Time
This image makes use of a number of photographs to explore the idea of place, distance and time. The woman on the left is a market trader in Laos (2018). The central figure was photographed in a cafe in Whitechapel in the 1980s and the man with a walking stick was photographed about the same time walking along Brick Lane.

I’ve always thought that one of the easiest ways to see a city anywhere in the world is from a bus. Here are some photos I took whilst on the 79 bus.
Ceasefire In Gaza Now!
The conditions at Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza are horrific. There’s no electricity. People are buried and dieing in the grounds. Babies are wrapped in blankets when they need incubators. Despite all the evidence that a catastrophic human tragedy is unfolding, that the apartheid state of Israel is involved in genocide – Labour Party leader Sir Keir Starmer only echoes the policy of the United States and calls for a ‘humanitarian pause’.
One child dies in Gaza every 10 minutes & 2 are injured. There is no safe place in Gaza. There must be a ceasefire now. Starmer has no moral compass and thinks it’s all about media games and career advancement. Starmer has blood on his hands. If your local MP is not willing to back a ceasefire at this point, they don’t deserve your vote.
Peaceful Call For A Ceasefire In Gaza
At 6:30 last night Lime Street Station in Liverpool was extra busy due to a peaceful sit down protest by hundreds calling for a cease fire in Gaza, freedom for the Palestinian people and an end to Israeli apartheid. A number of different groups came together for the occupation of the station including the Merseyside Pensioners Association, Stop The War, Liverpool Friends Of Palestine, the RMT, NEU and Unite Community.
Since a sit down protest at grand central station in New York on October 28th similar protests have occurred around the world. The New York Police Department said it had arrested at least 200 protesters at the rally, which led to the temporary closure of the station. The anti-war group Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), which organised the demonstration, put the number of arrests at more than 300. JVP said thousands had taken part in what it described as an “emergency sit-in”.
“HUNDREDS OF JEWS AND ALLIES ARE GETTING ARRESTED IN WHAT IS LIKELY THE BIGGEST MASS CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE NYC HAS SEEN IN TWO DECADES,” the group wrote in a post on Instagram.
Similar protests in central London have led to arrests after Transport Secretary Mark Harper gave an order to allow the Met Police to stop demonstrations under section 14a of the Public Order Act. It follows an increased attempt by the government to criminalise pro-Palestinian protests.
No one was arrested in Liverpool.
