Troops out of Afghanistan petition, Birmingham

Tables set out in Birmingham city centre's High Street for a 'Troops out of Afghanistan petition'.

Other literature, such as Workers' Power magazine, was also being distributed. Most people walked past, some signed the petition and a few pro-war members of the public stopped to shout abuse.

Repaired photo

I managed to digitally repair this old photo:

Many, many thanks to this wonderful person who so patiently posed for me!

NB Something seems to happen to the quality of my photos when uploading to Photobucket. Never has this been more noticeable than with these photos - here they look flat and dull whereas my originals are sharp and colourful.
