I took out the Intax Square today for a first foray into Brighton. Well Hove actually, for this is the Lagoon. Learning point here is how it's REALLY difficult to get the verticals right in that tiny viewfinder! #instaxsquare #instaxSQ6 #HoveLagoon #streetart #FujifilmInstax #photography

I put 9 year expired Kodak Tri-X 400 film into a 1990's Ricoh 35ZF, mainly to see if both still worked. Seems to. This is a newish footbridge across the Lewes Road on the University of Brighton, Moulsecoomb campus. #monochrome #architecture #film #TriX #streetphoto #streetphotography

Pay Me in Light At End of the Road festival are many artworks on display, some installed for the festival and others always in place, eg the bust on the column. I'm unsure of the status of the many poems written on stands that were in place around Larmer Gardens. #EOTR2026 #photography #art #poetry

A poem "Pay Me In Light" by Carol Ann Duffy is set out in full on a stand in a bushy garden and in the background on a column is something that looks like the head of a Greek god.

Yesterday we went to Birling Gap and I took my Ricoh Caplio GX100 which must now be about 18 years old. Still works! We once stayed in those cottages for Xmas, only 4 left now, there used to be at least 8... #landscape #photography #SouthDownsNationalPark #SevenSisters #monochrome #coastal #erosion

NEW Why holding a placard is a terrorist act, while causing disruption in a balaclava is not The mess caused by ministers and the police not taking terrorism law seriously By me at @prospectmagazine.co.uk www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/th...

Recent events in England now reveal the practical difference between terrorists and protesters. It would seem that terrorists peacefully hold placards and get immediately arrested, while protesters wear black uniforms and balaclavas and disrupt infrastructure and do not get arrested.

How did we get into this mess? How have we placed ourselves in the position where terrorism legislation is used to detain and prosecute peaceful protesters, while those adopting the terror tactics of private armies seem to be free to do as they wish?

The reason is that for some time British politicians have not taken terrorism legislation seriously, and that ministers have got into the habit of misusing terror laws for easy targets.

The substance of the accusation that Europe is weak coming out of the USA is nothing to do with our stance on Ukraine but everything to do with attacking our democratic structures. For the UK government to distract by talking about Ukraine is merely a pretence to appease MAGA, and ineffective too.
