I have a mix of original art and prints on neutral walls, less is more. I also like 'leaning' artwork against a wall either at floor level or on a shelf (along with ornaments, photos etc). This has the advantage that they can be easily moved around until the 'right' place is found. The frame is important too as the wrong frame can spoil good artwork. I would never buy any original artwork online without seeing it first in person, even a litho print can look very different online. Also with some artwork it's just as much about the texture and even the smell of the materials used, which you can never appreciate from an online image...

The whole point of any protest is to raise greater awareness of your cause. XR have achieved that but they need to choose their targets more carefully. Ordinary people (and Princesses) commuting by tube shouldn't be a target, they are the people you need on your side...

Said without any hint of irony from someone who quotes Brendan O'Neill...

Like your Nor-Swe post...

Do you support Remain now?...

Changing opinion would require an admittance that they were wrong, hence the constant scrambling around for quasi-justifications like the ridiculous Nor-Swe border comparison...

There have been some strange bedfellows during the Brexit process but this takes some beating, Farage snuggling under the duvet with Hilary Benn... :) So an unelected, retiring bureaucrat says: No extension, take this new treaty or just leave. He is overriding the Benn Act. The EU shows itself to be a thuggocracy - power without accountability. Appalling people.

Nor-Swe border has border infrastructure and checks, which is not allowed under GFA...

Media obsessed with the will they won't they (DUP) over NI customs etc while ignoring that this deal is economically worse than May's deal. So called sovereignty won't put food on your plate and pay the gas bill...

Yep, it was about a week ago that I saw it...

Apparently the protesters are ''old anti-capitalist rent-a- mob ravers combined with naive school kids and their virtual signalling parents'' and '' protesters include a princess, aristocrats, posh Guardianistas''. So, quite a varied demographic then. And as for someone quoting O'Neil...:)

There's almost perfect symmetry with the Japan v Scotland forecasts, a nation divided, sounds familiar...

There's a clothing/shoes recycling unit on the corner shop side of the Upland Rd/Hindmans Rd junction...

I was wondering with all this talk about an election what exactly will the Tories propose in their manifesto. Seems like a memo was sent yesterday that implied they would go for No Deal to stave off any of their disgruntled voters switching to the Brexit Party. Cue disgruntled One Nation Tories. Brexit, the gift that keeps on giving...

Apparently it was yesterday's Leave.EU xenophobic meme that pushed him. Did he not see the 'Breaking Point' meme over 3 years ago? Some Brexiters do seem to find it hard to accept that they climbed into bed with racists and xenophobes...

I don't think a Queen's speech pledge mounts to much until it becomes as Act like Benn's Bill, so I'm guessing either could be changed during the next parliamentary session. Whether the speech passes or not will probably depend on the Tory rebels, likewise any vote of no confidence. A lot has been said about the Lib Dems not supporting Corbyn in an alternative Gov, but it's a moot point as together they don't have the numbers without the Tory rebels, they are the real king makers at the moment. Personally I'm hoping for an extension up to June to allow for a referendum and/or an election...

No, not under the FTPA, explainer from Institute of Gov't... The Queen?s Speech can be voted down. This would be of major political significance, as it would clearly call into question the ability of the government to command the confidence of Parliament. Historically, a defeat on the address has been treated as an implicit loss of confidence in a government as it suggests that there is no majority to be found in the Commons for its programme for government. It is rare for the government to be defeated on the address in the Commons ? as governments usually have a majority in the House. But it has happened ? most recently in 1924, when Stanley Baldwin?s minority government was defeated. Baldwin then resigned as prime minister, and the opposition went on to form a new government. As no government has been defeated on the address since the passage of the Fixed-term Parliaments Act (FTPA) in 2011, it is unclear what would happen if such a situation were to arise. This is because a defeat on the address would not meet the requirements under the FTPA to trigger an election. But any defeat might encourage the opposition to then table a formal vote of no confidence, under the FTPA, in the government. There would also be intense political pressure on the government.
