In Homage to the Great Slate Mountain God
( “From whence we came”  “Made in His own image” )
Michael St.Mark 2017

View north over slAte-tiled rooftops of solid slate buildings that are typical of the Cumbrian town of Keswick.  Echoing, and as if in kneeling devotion to, the dominating mountain of Skiddaw ( 931m) that towers over the area and which is formed of Skiddaw slate – a massive geological upthrust of compressed mud and shales formed on the bed of a tropical sea hundreds of millions of years ago.

The Oxbridge Doors to Equal Opportunity
Michael St.Mark 2017

Sequel to our ” The Doors of Opportunity ” ( 2012 )
Found light blue / dark blue ( boat race colors ) double-locked metal door pair, Westminster.

Fairly explanaTORY, especially after reading this or this

Links to Work no.612; Boatrace Man (remembering Trenton Oldfield )

Saying that UK “has the highest inequality in the western world”, Oldfield said the Boat Race was a symbol of elitism in government.

Asked what the boat race had to do with it, he said: “It’s a symbol of a lot of issues in Britain around class; 70% of government pushing through very significant cuts are Oxford or Cambridge graduates.

“It was a symbolic gesture to these kind of issues.”

Everything Has its Place ( and should be in its place ) II
Michael St.Mark 2017

Sequel to EHIP 1 ( 2007 )

Junk high carb/ high-profit margin addictive foods, typically defined by refined flour & sugar products, continue to blight the health of the world population well into the 21st C.
As per our previous Work, The Original Pringles, those involved at the sharp end in hyped-up misleading packaging and advertising of these killer food products are equally as culpable in harming the health of millions and in damaging the environment as the morally bankrupt food companies themselves.

Innocent victims – two of millions.

Truth and Consequences – that no health minister in the pocket of the food industry ( historically all of them ) dares tell. Rather they not make waves while in office in order to gain a cushy 8 hr week £500,000 PA directorship on the board of some affiliated company such as Nestle after they leave or get kicked out…than save thousands from obesity, Type 2 diabetes with all the suffering, amputations and colossal cost to the NHS by giving the correct information to the public about the danger of high carb refined flour consumption .
