Martin Deane invited me along with 2 full coach loads of people from Hull to the Make Poverty History Demonstration in Edinburgh on the 2nd July 2005.

It was an early start, 6am, because we had a long 6 hour trip up to Scotland (and another 6 hours back which I tried to forget) as we hopped aboard that drizzly morning.
I'd packed my sandwiches, water etc and had a flask of hot coffee and I set out for Debenham's the pick up point. I've never been politically active enough to go to any demonstration in the past, but I had a job to do cameras at the ready batteries all fully charged.
I lost our group as soon as we disembarked and made my way following the crowds to the Rally meeting point.

On entering this enormous park I started to feel the impact of being part of such a large crowd. Each with their own banners groups of demonstrators lined up and it felt like some kind of army taking their positions in this massive open space.
I went to work and captured as much of the day as I could on camera for us to share online.

If you came with us or were there please do write in and share your thoughts about this incredible day.

Anyway enjoy the photos, Martin and Rich you did us proud by taking people from Hull to represent, thank you.

Going Down - Overnight Investigation of the Paranormal with The Spiritual Renaissance Group By Blair Ashworth Photos by Mo
Insomnia must be a real advantage when you're investigating the paranormal. At least, it would have been if the night at Holmpton had passed slowly - but for me, and for Mo, it was an amazing and unforgettable experience, and I for one intend repeating it as soon as the opportunity next arises. So, there we were, the car drawing up to the guardhouse of the Holmpton bunker near Withernsea. Read more...
