Public House (Bloomsbury, London.)

This photograph was taken in the 1960s-70s by John Gay (Gay was the English name taken by Hans Gohler,  a German who left his native land when Hitler rose to power  in 1933;  he was not a Jew, but was disgusted at the way the Jews were being treated. He became a naturalised British subject and took wonderful photographs of this country, usually in b&w. He died in 1999.)

Election Night in Bloomsbury

by on May.06, 2010, under politics

remember -the red bits are in more populated areas..!

I voted Green, after some struggle. I’ve been a Labour voter all my life but I have finally had enough of this creature that calls itself by the name of the party I once supported.

Frank Dobson, the sitting Labour MP is excellent in many ways -but a vote for him means a vote for That Lot. Natalie Bennett, the Green, is clearly a very strong candidate -committed to social justice, intelligent, principled. And HER party has the wonderful Caroline Lucas at the head of it -our first Green MP if she wins in Brighton Pavilion, which she may well do.

I’ll feel bad if the Lib Dem gets in on a split vote, and much worse if the Tory squeaks in (less likely). But I’d feel awful if I contributed to a vote of confidence in New “Labour.” How I hate them for making me give up on them.
