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.

New on Substack, my post on Balfron Tower - the experience of its residents and its controversial sell-off and renovation (The images below from 2011 and 2024 show how radically it was butchered.) It's now a hard-to-let block in the private rental sector.

If anybody wants to commission me, I'm open. I thought that after five years of chasing, pitching & hassling for countless £100-200 gigs, which take a tonne of work, I may get better public or private commissions & offers coming my way. But, my £600 income this summer suggests not.

💥 At 11am this morning the 8 cooling towers at Cottam Power Station will be demolished, after looming large over the Nottinghamshire landscape for more than 50 years.
Do you believe we should preserve a set of Britain’s fast vanishing cooling towers?
