  • The face of the Conservative candidate in Britain's general election Charlotte Vere has been defaced by the childish scrawls over her eyes and mouth. In this residential street of the Brighton Pavillion constituency, we see the one sign that urges voters to support the Tories, spoiled and another in the background untouched by the political jokers. Vere is a Tory business woman fighting this parliamentary seat in East Sussex under the leadership of party leader David Cameron.

  • A man reads a book while sitting astride an old concrete-filled oil drums at the entrance to an East London railway tunnel. Wearing dark glasses and reading a book about successful business plans. The six solid drums serve as a heavy deterrent for any vehicles expecting to drive through the dark underpass. This is near Brick Lane, an area of now mainly the Bangladeshi and artists' community  but also of a new development of cross-London railways that have changed the area irreversibly. The tunnel is a turning off Sclater Street that formed part of Isambard Kingdom Brunel's subterranean Bishopgate Goodsyard in use between 1840 to 1964. Partly demolished in 2004, the rails now carry overland trains on the Crossrail project.

  • The John Lennon Memorial Wall in Velkoprevorske namestiGrand Priory Square, Malá Strana, on 18th March, 2018, in Prague, the Czech Republic. The Lennon Wall or John Lennon Wall is a wall in Prague, Czech Republic. Once a normal wall, since the 1980s it has been filled with John Lennon-inspired graffiti and pieces of lyrics from Beatles songs. In 1988, the wall was a source of irritation for the communist regime of Gustáv Husák. Young Czechs would write grievances on the wall and in a report of the time this led to a clash between hundreds of students and security police on the nearby Charles Bridge. The movement these students followed was described ironically as Lennonism and Czech authorities described these people variously as alcoholics, mentally deranged, sociopathic, and agents of Western capitalism.
