Who'd have thought the once repugnant alleyways of #London would one day be our greatest and most thought-provoking views into the heart of the old city.

A beautiful view into the pre-policing world of 'Parish Watchmen'. I particularly like the water fountain, though the entire painting is very special indeed.

If we did not care, nothing would matter.

The Anticlimactic Fate Of Britain's Pubs
The King Of Bohemia, 10 Hampstead High Street #London ⚰️
🎙 @VinnieSullivan

The King of Bohemia has stood at 10 Hampstead High Street from the 1680s & was rebuilt in the 1930s. Since it was closed in 2003, the ground floor was converted into a retail store and then a sushi restaurant. You'd think any council or government worth its salt would rather waste money saving such a pub instead of wasting the culture we lost with its death.

When I see the native homeless and drug addicted prostitutes across London, it literally kills a small piece of me each time. We can barely help ourselves, never mind those who need it most. Societies' deliberate decline isn’t just visible in human suffering, but societies ignorance to it.

"Even the more intelligent Christians preach absurdities. Their injunctions are like this: 'Let no one educated, no one wise, no one sensible draw near. For these abilities are thought by us to be evils. But as for anyone ignorant, anyone stupid, anyone uneducated, anyone childish, let him come boldly.' By the fact that they themselves admit that these people are worthy of their god, they show that they want and are able to convince only the foolish, dishonorable and stupid, and only slaves, women and little children."
