These two men are enjoying a hookah in Hyde Park, London. There are
many cafes on the Edgware Road where people may smoke the hookah, but
these men are willing to take their bong to the Park.
Although the UK has a reputation for tolerance it is very encouraging
to see people who depart from the norm. The same has to be said about
the islamists who regularly perform prayers at Speaker's corner. The
UK is still nominally a free country.
Echo the Cat.
Echo is a very smart cat. She is the mother of Booby

This tabby cat is the son of Echo, but he looks quite different. He
has many of the characteristics of a wild cat.

SHEFFIELD CULTURAL INDUSTRIES QUARTER
The photo shows the topping out celebration for the National Center
for Popular Music in Sheffield, 1998. Two Elvis Presly impersonators
abseil from the top of one of the domes/mushrooms.
All of the high tech stuff is fine, but the vast corporate sponsorship
enforces high prices and political correctness. The area is just by
Sheffield's Science Park which supplied the Iraqi Regime with transputers
and continues to promote the activities of American Imperialists in their
world wide terror bombing campaigns.
Burning the American Flag. Spring 1998.
Karl Marx grave, Highgate Cemetary, London.
Marx wrote about the evils of capitalism. One hundred years on
London sees vast numbers of homeless people in the streets. The
propertied classes practice a form of 'social cleansing' whereby
'undesirable' people are denied housing.
Kinder Gates, Kinder Scout, Derbyshire Peak District.
Workers from Manchester, Sheffield and other Northern towns
confronted the lackeys of the land owning classes to win access
to these moorlands during the 1930s.
During the Thatcher regime of the 1980s many of the footpaths in the
UK have been reclaimed by the landed classes, especially in the South
of England. Urban residents need space.

Karl Marx again, Highgate Cemetary, 1998.

MARXISM AT THE MILLENNIUM
The Socialist Workers' Party are organising. If you have time and
some money this a good place to learn what to think about the burning
issues of the day such as disease, poverty and death (by high-tech
or low-tech weapons). It's cheaper in the long run than any other
form of organised religion. Stalin and Mao and all the rest were just
state capitalists.
Modern followers of Marx in the UK include Paul Foot, Jermy Hardy
and Tony Benn.
