Franz Marc colour in darkness

I was looking for colour... in the sadder times and spaces that are happening.. going ahead and I feel and reach.

At the end of the TUC womens conference, which ironically ended with a debate on cuts to the arts, a couple of us stayed to walk by the water before and walked into a small gallery. The artists work used colours like Franz Marc and Marc Chagall did... warmth, depth, inviting but layered.

Housing - 'London planners from Evening Standard

This got a big plug from people I know on Facebook, Evening Standard particularly this:

The most distinctive feature of the militant Left's rule of Liverpool in the Eighties was its impact on urban renewal. Responding to the local public, the council smashed most of the hated towers to the ground and left neighbourhood groups to plan their replacements. The result was no more decks, stairwells and broken lifts set in windy parks, as dictated by professional architects. Instead people decided to revert to terrace houses, like those taken from them in the Sixties. It was an object lesson in democracy.
