Managed to catch the opening of The Collectors, The Cameraman, The Poets and The Pitts, the new exhibition about the 1984 miners strike at the Working class movement library. Some great posters from their collection on display and also bought this collection of images from the strike.

This time around, the Kennedys are assassinating us.
The latest episode of Misha Gleny's Continental Divides, this episode explores the memory wars that rage today www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
There's some amazing colours in Princes Park today
