It's not all that easy being right mist of the time you know ,
An interesting little addition to the wave of street art that was appearing around the country at around the same time Boris was running for the premiership ..................
The peasants Revolt - ask me no questions I'll tell you no lies
But suffice to say that a series of circumstances that encouraged me to engage with determined vigor against one of the most ludicrous public authorities in the land and act as a whistle blower begining a national campaign calling for scrutiny and accountability at a legal level against dubious executive orders rendered during that time
Now this just seemed bloody obvious to me from the start , although the propaganda campaign that took the whole world by storm was a brilliant means of both curtailing civil liberties whilst simultaneously throwing additional divisive fuel into a population that had already been through a ferociously tribal brexit referendum ....I had bigger problems on the ground level at the time .......now of course it's all coming to light , Cambridge analytica have been forced to pay compensations for messing with the social media during the brexit and old Zuckerberg has come out in a repentant speech about how perhaps , some of the misinformation that turned out to be factual was possibly true but censored under government instruction in case it wasn't completely correct
Fucking Kafka esque times or what ( feel free to peruse previous posts - Indiana Jones and the Belgian telephone, or , numerous others for that matter , or dont , actually I'd prefer you go outside without your phone , leave blogs and podcasts and social media bullshit well alone , go and have a wander and a fire instead ....and for the love of god , dint like, share, subscribe or make a donation to our non existent patreon page , don't sign up to our mailing list for regular updates
Eat Out to Help out - when I kicked this out as a street art spread , it only took a week or so before Matt the weirdo Hancock ' fell in love ' and then a digitised meme version if this original design went ballistic
Of course it's probably impertinent to remention that old rishi was the pioneer of this campaign at the time , which just so happened to pump a fortune's worth of furlough into the pockets of restauranteurs and went a decent way to adding to the spread at the height of the lockdown era
A decade ago I inadvertently started a fight .... With my local authority on a series of local issues that I was personally passionate enough to defend , simultaneously , I was running a few design contracts in the city of London when old Boris was running as mayor of London - I sat there in a very high end venue filled with important people , while Boris was bouncing around the stage offering harrumph for this and that - I proclaimed , exceptionally publicly , as the room harrumphed along and cheered the bungling idiot
' that man is a blatant imbecile , he might even be dangerous '
I believe this public statement has cost me a great deal over the past decade , from national government to local government , everyone with a dubious investment through the planning department , or buddying up on the golf course with any of this grubby bullshit , is by default utterly complicit in the current state of fiasco grade hiatus that we currently find ourselves
It's only been a decade long front line battle for me , and it has cost me a great deal more than I was willing to surrender but as I move through the closing sequence of this year's exhibition as the final skirmishes take place at both local and government level , as Boris Johnson is finally removed from direct political influence , as Cameron and Osborne are being scrutinized for decimating a NHS to the point that it was I'll equipped to deal with the man made flu II that hopefully people are actually going to be sued for , as the final throes of this utterly absurd yet utterly ruthless regime of well spoken nincompoops and nonces comes to its inevitable end on the back of a few long haired mal contents using little laughing face emojis , street art , general non compliance and a penchant for figuring out grey areas in law , as movements coalesce and grassroots kick back , from individuals and community groups alike begin to demand full legal accountability from individuals and organisations that simply can no longer claim to be ' authority ' when all evidence demonstrates the contrary
10 years ago I never would have thought that we might actually reach this pinion point , I hoped we would - no one wants to die in vain , but this is and would appear to have the momentum to continue being one very interesting time to be alive
