Extraordinary to hear Steve Barclay on @BBCr4today this morning, arguing that doctors cannot be offered a fair pay deal to make up for the huge depreciation in wages over previous decades - because teachers are paid so little. We should pay teachers more too! Why should these key workers in the public sector be penalised and exploited for not choosing to work in the private sector?

@dalejames77 @hmd_db @theAliceRoberts @BBCr4today This is kids stuff. 1 trillion turned into 2.5 & there is nothing to show for it. Nobody knows where the money went. If it was spent on covid relief, where? Here’s another question you can ask the kids. How many zero’s in one trillion?

@GretaThunberg @Shambles151 Let’s boycott one company on mass (for starters) that’ll get their attention. How about not using Shell garages for a week?

A reminder: the people in power don’t need conferences, treaties or agreements to start taking real climate action. They can start today. When enough people come together then change will come and we can achieve almost anything. So instead of looking for hope - start creating it.

@Jacob_Rees_Mogg @RestoreTrustNT Fuck off Jacob Rees-Mogg. According to @YouGov, the @nationaltrust is the 17th most popular organisation in Britain, disliked by just 6% of British adults. GB "News" is one of the least popular & most disliked, ranked at no.462. Just 8% of British people trust the @Conservatives.

@HallieRubenhold @ianpwriter @Look_UpLondon The fundraising is an important aspect. Shouldn't we start now? Both will take a few months. Do we have an artist? I believe it would help if I could show the owners a drawing of the mural that will be painted, hence, the artist should produce an A4 size drawing?

This has gone up on Ebor Street in Whitechapel. It's amazing to see the womens' faces here. It feels right. This is a temporary mural and an advert for the book, but I'd like to start a campaign for a permanent mural commemorating the victims. How do I do this, Twitter?

@Kilaiditis @HallieRubenhold @Look_UpLondon Go for broke. Find your ‘perfect’ location & if nothing on it looks new, that’s your spot! Most people around there are good as gold & like being a ‘chosen spot’

@ianpwriter @HallieRubenhold @Look_UpLondon Ian, again, thank you for your very helpful comment. As I live in Whitechapel I'll start scouting for potential walls and try to locate the owners. Any further advice? Will any large wall do? Is the easiest way to find the owner by knocking on their door?

@Kilaiditis @HallieRubenhold @Look_UpLondon I can’t point to legislation but can tell you when I was painting giant murals on walls around London & the police came along all they cared about was if you had the wall owners (usually the occupiers) permission. Some years back but still applies in Camden & tower hamlets

@ianpwriter @HallieRubenhold @Look_UpLondon Ian, you are probably right but to be sure, can you signpost us to any relevant legislation/procedures etc. Are you sure there is no need for a planning application or anything like that? Do you have a relevant expertise?
