This photo was taken during the March Against Racism in central London on Saturday on 18 March. Many activists were furious at the new anti-immigration legislation which is clearly in breach of international law.
Although there are no legal routes available to refugees from many Asian and African countries suffering from conflict and murderous repressive regimes, the Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, is overseeing legislation which will criminalize refugees risking their lives at sea to reach relative safety. They will now have their asylum claims denied as inadmissible.
As marchers reached Downing Street, Braverman was thousands of miles away in Rwanda, reaffirming the UK's commitment to illegally expelling refugees to the impoverished country, which itself has a poor human rights record.
Apologies if some of the photographs in this series are clearly overexposed, which is due to my own stupidity and negligence as I forgot to reset the white balance after some indoor photography.
At the "Respect My Vote" rally at the Bangkok Arts and Cultural Centre / MBK intersection today, January 10th 2014 - when a fair few people displayed they had had enough of Suthep's attempt to derail democracy in the hope of returning to the days of military rule behind the front of an Absolute Monarchy, and enough of Abhisit's leadership of the Democrat Party to boycott the election.

Tongue-Thai’ed ! Whistle Blown on Abhisit’s Spurious Pleas for Reform
By Saksith Saiyasombut
Jan 09, 2014
(Democrat) Party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva held a speech at a party event called ”Eradicate Corruption, Committed In Reforms” in Bangkok on Tuesday, when this happened:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BstwVBOvYM
Here’s a description...
[...] an unidentified man stood up in the audience and blew his whistle. The audience mistook him as a supporter of Mr. Abhisit, since whistle-blowing has been a trademark of the anti-government protesters, and no one restrained him until he held up a sign which read – in English – “Respect My Vote!”.
The heckler then shouted at Mr. Abhisit, “If you cannot even reform yourself, how can you reform the country?”. Mr. Abhisit was visibly surprised by the incident, but the former leader tried to manage the confrontation by thanking the man for his remarks.
However, the heckler went on to shout, “When you were the government, why didn’t you do it? (Start the discussion) about anti-corruption. You have intimidated other people, so can they not intimidate you as well?”
The heckler was later identified to be a 34-year-old Bangkok businessman referred under his Facebook handle “Ake Auttagorn” who told Prachatai that he staged the one-man protest “out of frustration” at the political discourse now and that “Thailand already had this lesson many times before” with the Democrat Party “always at the center of it”.
And this is how Abhisit reacted to the heckler…
“This is an example of reasons why we need reforms,” Mr. Abhisit told the audience, “This is the form of Democrat Party′s rivals”, to which the heckler shot back, “I am not your rival, I am the people!”
Security guards later surrounded the man and led him out of the room. After the heckler had been removed, Mr. Abhisit told the crowd that such harassment is a reason why the upcoming election on 2 February 2014 would not be a fair one."

.... a business man standing and heckling / challenging you with an A4 sign saying Respect My Vote means the upcoming election would not be a fair one?
How's that ex Prime Minister Abhisit ?
Please tell...
This is an old image of mine that was originally uploaded here, but I thought it was suitable to re-post for today.

Walking downtown, I saw a podium and a flag. Had camera, had a tripod, and no one to tell me I couldn't do this.
Maybe someone will lift this image, write text over it, and it will be an internet meme. Heck, a [de]motivational will work too.
But yeah, this is me.
happy gorgeous green General Election Thursday :)
It doesn't matter what colour your political party is, exercise your right to vote in today's General Election.

Parliament has been promised a meaningful vote on the Brexit deal. But what, exactly, is Parliament being asked to decide? And what happens if Parliament votes the deal down?
At our panel discussion Raphael Hogarth, Research Associate at the Institute for Government, presented key findings from Voting on Brexit, the Institute for Government’s new paper on Parliament and the Brexit deal.
The paper sets out what the Government has to do in Parliament to get its deal though, and give effect to the withdrawal agreement in domestic law. It also identifies a number of risks to the timetable.
The vote, the politics and the constitutional implications was discussed by our panel:
The Rt Hon. Dominic Grieve QC MP, Conservative MP for Beaconsfield and former Attorney General
The Rt Hon. the Baroness Smith of Basildon, Shadow Leader of the House of Lords and Shadow Spokesperson (Northern Ireland)
George Parker, Political Editor, Financial Times
This event was chaired by Dr Hannah White, Director of Research at the Institute for Government.

You have to enter your email address and they send you a confirmation link to vote. I guess it's their way of trying to make sure people only vote once :-(

Do not ask for my vote, as it's a secret. :P

The glimpse of the major media groups on the result of the vote on the package of measures in their favour. A lot of money for nothing is at stake for TX Group AG, Ringier AG, CH Media and Somedia. The coverage over the past two years has been disappointing but the owners have earned well. Fear was fueled and panic spread by editors who suddenly mutated into virologists and epidemiologists. This is dangerous in a direct democracy. How dangerous will be seen today. Switzerland February 9, 2022.

Election day in the UK today, going around getting some 'image shots' of Parliament to use in our news programs in Japan.
The new "voting booths" where you fill out your scantron sheet. Not very private, and not nearly as cool as the old lever machines.
I did ! Yay !
What a big day today !
I was so emotional, I was fighting tears, standing in line in front of the voting booth ......
