Not only can I not name our local (local?!?) Police & Crime Commissioner, but when the first PCC election was held the vote was won by “Spoiled ballots papers”.
This shouldn’t have taken so long.
What comes next had better be better.

Because I am an idiot I decided to photograph all the (visible from the street) Georgian doorways of Liverpool's Rodney Street with a 60 year-old Olympus FT camera. Turns out the half frame format of the camera goes well with the shape of the doors. #believeinfilm #shootfilmbenice

Sky News and the BBC repeatedly mention the "migrant crisis" in doing so they are normalising and legitimising far right talking points. There is no "migrant crisis", there is only migrant hysteria, which the British media is feeding into instead of countering.
