Is Gove a member of Equity as well ? (or did he deprive a professional actor like Felix of a school chaplain gig...?)

I imagine it was for the sole reason of ensuring Mr Gove employment that the closed shop was abolished

MIchael Gove is one of the few cabinet ministers ever to have appeared in a film with Christopher Lee

Stephen Pound who was PPS to Hazel 'A Taste of Honey' Blears was an extra in Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush.

You'd think Glenda Jackson would have crossed paths with Sir Christopher at some point but seemingly not

No snow here but fog over the Mersey

Lovely shot Freddy.
That's one hell of a stepladder you've got there, mate.

It is though I never knew my real ladder.

Ironically for such a beautiful shot it was taken from one of the most ugly buildings in Liverpool and England . . . St John's Beacon. Who took it I cannot say, it might have been Radio City.

If you want to take a photo with beautiful buildings in it, take it from the ugliest building. Then the ugly building won't be in the photo

Nice images Mark, are they yours? Don't care what politics they stand for it's sacrilege in my opinion, like to see them relocate to a Mosque, see how long they last there.

A curious attitude, not very Christian
In what way are they sacreligious?

People of all faiths are usually welcome in most religious establishments. Luckily the people that run them are usually more enlightened than some of the general public

Perhaps sacrilege is the wrong word but certainly indifferent to people who visit to worship there. My main point is about how unfair it is to let these people build an encampment on this site when if they tried to do the same thing at a Mosque I'm sure it would have outraged the worshippers and this would have led to a speedy eviction by the police.

Cheers Sargeant, I almost asked them that if they consider 'Mansions a cancer', what would they regard a three-bed semi as lol, maybe I will next time if they're still there.

Nice images Mark, are they yours?

Cheers golightly, they are, I won a small Fuji Camera that fits in the pocket at my workplace Christmas raffle so I though I'd go up town for the day and give it a whirl, plenty of Liverpool F.C. supporters about!

Not many people go to St Paul's to worship. Some do, but not many as a percentage of the total number of visitors. The vast majority of their visitors are tourists or are there to admire the architecture and wallow in the history. Have any of those people, including the worshippers, been put out by the tents & the people in them? Are the visitors put out by the building plonked down next to the cathedral which don't fit the environment and spoil the view?

Why do you assume that if the protesters were given permission to set up camp outside a mosque, as they were at the cathedral, that they would be moved on? Are you mistaking Islam for an intolerant religion

Steve

[Jody Slater]

I'm just wondering why no one has asked the anti-capitalists where they got their lovely shiny new tents from...surely if they were proper anti-capitalists they would be using hand woven hessian sacking held up by tree branches otherwise that means they used money or stole them :O

[Freddy]

Great photos Mark, love to know what the violin is doing up in the branches of a tree, playing Bach perhaps.

Certainly not

[Steve Crook]

Certainly not

So what was the point that you were trying to make then?
