Hello.
I’m a short, hairy software developer, who does acting and takes pictures.
I’m one of those people who really quite likes London.
I like other places too.
Here are a few photographs, mostly from my Capital Ring walk this summer.

Last Saturday, I walked from Hammersmith to Canary Wharf, along the River Thames - probably the longest I've walked in one go.
These are just snaps from my phone - things that caught my attention.
I like walking, I like looking, and I love London

How did you know, it’s just what I’ve *always* wanted - a discount on a flexible coworker workspace with shared office facilities.
(I do like my new office, I have to say - It’s just not something I think I, or anyone I know, would consider a festive gift!)

"The idea of deporting people with settled status is disgusting, and anyone proposing it should be immediately drummed out of polite society. Breaking promises made in good faith to our friends and neighbours is racist, extremist and immoral."
I'm basically shouting at the sky here, but still.

It’s racist, it’s extremist and it’s immoral
The right is still calling for deportations, and the government is still being cowardly about it. Also: London’s first green belt; some notes on a shark; and some news, on my next book.

Wow. I‘m not sure which part of this is weirder: that they think Starmer’s rep might be worse than theirs, or that they might be right.
Palantir has pulled out of involvement with the UK Digital ID card, according to an interview with their UK CEO on Times Radio. They’re concerned about the reputational damage of being involved with an unpopular Starmer policy.

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

I must have missed the Supreme Court ruling that declared Marks & Spencer a women-only space
The employee asked the girl and her mother if they needed help shopping. That’s it. That’s all. The misinformation, the insinuations (because the facts are inconveniently benign) are EXACTLY what was done to lesbians in the 80s. This is the product of hate and fear, not reality.
