This is a photo of me taking in the Castle Day Centre near the Elephant and Castle in 1969 just after my labotomy.

Southwark Unemployment Centre Peckham

These two photos were taken of me in the centre at a business meeting and of me rolling a fag! This centre, like a couple more were not controlled by the TUC, and struggled for funding as independent centres. The centres survived on donations to keep the centres open. This was in 1980 the year of the people's march for jobs on May 1 from Liverpool to London where it arrived on May 31st.







I walked from Liverpool to Manchester, and because of illness, left the march and rejoined it from Wembley to Hyde Park, then on to Trafalgar Square. It was estimated that a 1/4 million people were on the march from Hyde Park and Tralfarar Square.

St Patricks Day in Kentish Town

ONCE AGAIN, IT'S MINE AND NOT THEIRS

In 1994, James Mirriam Promotions and Putting Our House In Order were the forerunners of Intercontinental Promotions. I believed it worked for some time but due to lack of money, people's egos, and people being used, made it fold. I believe Intercontinental Promotions was the Phoenix that arose from the ashes of "James Mirriam Promotions" and "Putting Our House in Order"

HOMELESSNESS IS A WORLD PROBLEM

THIS IS A GROUP OF UNLEASH MEMBERS OUTSIDE MENTAL HEALTH OFFICE IN NEW YORK. IN MAY 1989 ON A FACT FINDING MISSION ON HOMELESSNESS

THE TRUTH TEACHER, WHOS LIVED IT, ITS NOT A LIE

This was taken when I was giving a talk at the Southwark unemployment centre in 1975 or there abouts as part of the National Unempolyed Workers Movement. These centres were about us controlling are destinies and not the local council or the T.U.C when they funded them they control us.

INSIDE MY LIFE REVEALED

THIS THE FIRST ARTICLE THAT I WROTE FOR CAPITOL LIGHTS AS THE DEPUTY EDITIOR OF CAPTIOL LIGHTS. IT WAS A SECTION OF THE BIG ISSUE WRITTEN BY HOMELESS PEOPLE OR PEOPLE WITH HOMELESS EXPERIENCE
I WROTE THIS 15 YEARS A O IN 1991.

MY LETTER TO THE MUSIC WORLD

This is a letter that I wrote to Carol Crabtee from Food Records before I reviewed the tape /CD "Give Me Shelter in 1993.

MY CV 1973 - 2005

This is my CV of the work and projects I have been involved since 1973. I will be updating it in the future.

IT'S MINE AND OURS - NOT YOU AND THEM

60 SECOND TRANSMITT TO LIFE STORY

This is an article I wrote for transmitter anewsletter for st. mungos mental health newsletter in the summer of 2001

I WILL NOT BE USED

IN THIS PHOTO I WAS ASKED AS THE DEPUTY EDITOR OF CAPITOL LIGHTS (PART OF THE BIG ISSUE) TO STAND IN FRONT OF THIS ADVERT - (ONCE AGAIN, POSING AND BEING USED)

THE WHEEL KEEPS TURNING, WHO FOR?

AS I HAVE SAID BEFORE , THIS IS A PUBLICITY ADVERT THAT I DESIGNED. IT DEPICTS ALL THE PROBLEMS OF HOMELESSNESS IN THE 70's & 80's IN SOUTH LONDON.

WE DONT FORGET OUR DEAD OR DO WE?

This is an article I wrote that their voices must be heard it was a demonstration to bring to the attention the number of homeless men and women who died in the streets in 1992 there were 617 names that were read out at trafalar sqaure on bank holiday sunday 29 may 1994

LAPD INSPECTS LONDON

SHELTER IS A CRISIS, NOT JUST FOR CHRISTMAS

There's talk about crisis at christmas. In 1991 they said there where 3,000 homeless peple sleeping rough in London, I would say there could be similar numbers in 2006. They are there from roughly six days. What most people dont understand with the experience of being homeless, they have to learn to live in a house or a flat. I dont believe in charity or hand outs.

WHO NEEDS BANANARAMA - I DONT THINK SO!

I interviewed Bananarama I think in 1994

I found it an experience in which their management or their P.A., controls them and control what questions I could ask them. It was I believe a publicity stunt to advertise the Big Issue
