  • In the 24hrs that a further 38 died from Coronavirus, bringing the total to 41,736, a further easing of the UK’s Covid pandemic lockdown restrictions took place with many high street shops today being allowed to re-open after three months of forced closure. Prime Minister Boris Johnson, wanting to stimulate the economy, has urged people to "shop with confidence" and long queues formed outside the main brands. But unlike on public transport, face coverings are not compulsory so shop floors and shopping practices have had to be adapted to ensure customers’ social distances, amid fears of a second infection wave.

  • Peeled paint and security at the entrance of the notorious secret police (Stasi) Hohenschonhausen prison. The Berlin-Hohenschönhausen Memorial is now a museum and memorial located in Berlin's north-eastern Lichtenberg district. Hohenschönhausen was a very important part of the Socialist GDR's (German Democratic Republic) system of political and artistic oppression. Although torture (including Chinese water torture) and physical violence were commonly employed at Hohenschönhausen (especially in the 1950s), psychological intimidation was the main method of political repression and techniques including sleep deprivation, total isolation, threats to friends and family members. Between 1950 and 1989, the Stasi employed a total of 274,000 people in an effort to root out the class enemy. The Hohenschonhausen prison's existence was largely unknown to locals - another blank on the map. During Hitler's Third Reich, the Gestapo had one agent for every 2,000 citizens whereas the Stasi had approximately an spy for every 6.5. German media called East Germany 'the most perfected surveillance state of all time' - administered from this complex of offices.

  • Silhouetted security railings featuring spikes and Elizabeth Tower of the British parliament, on 17th January 2017, in London England. The Elizabeth Tower (previously called the Clock Tower) named in tribute to Queen Elizabeth II in her Diamond Jubilee year – was raised as a part of Charles Barry's design for a new palace, after the old Palace of Westminster was largely destroyed by fire on the night of 16 October 1834. The new Parliament was built in a Neo-gothic style, completed in 1858 and is one of the most prominent symbols of both London and England.

  • The location in central London where the Hatton Garden safe Deposit company was the scene of one of London's most notorious valuables heists in recent years. Over the Easter weekend, jewellery and other items belonging to people from all walks of life and to the value of tens of millions of Pounds, were ransacked and stolen. The police seemingly ignored burglary alarms over the weekend but believe insider knowledge helped the thieves disable security.

  • Security barbed wire at the entrance of the notorious secret police (Stasi) Hohenschonhausen prison. The Berlin-Hohenschönhausen Memorial is now a museum and memorial located in Berlin's north-eastern Lichtenberg district. Hohenschönhausen was a very important part of the Socialist GDR's (German Democratic Republic) system of political and artistic oppression. Although torture (including Chinese water torture) and physical violence were commonly employed at Hohenschönhausen (especially in the 1950s), psychological intimidation was the main method of political repression and techniques including sleep deprivation, total isolation, threats to friends and family members. Between 1950 and 1989, the Stasi employed a total of 274,000 people in an effort to root out the class enemy. The Hohenschonhausen prison's existence was largely unknown to locals - another blank on the map. During Hitler's Third Reich, the Gestapo had one agent for every 2,000 citizens whereas the Stasi had approximately an spy for every 6.5. German media called East Germany 'the most perfected surveillance state of all time' - administered from this complex of offices.

  • A secure fence deters young children from entering and playing in the new (but as yet unused) playground in the experimental community village of Poundbury, Dorset, England. The new swings and mini-roundabout can be seen through the wire in the foreground while the safe surfaces of wood-chip ensures the little ones are protected from falls on to hard surfaces. Poundbury is the visionary model village that Charles, Prince of Wales sought to develop in 1993 as a successful and pioneering town near Dorchester, built on land owned by his own Duchy of Cornwall, challenging otherwise poor post-war trends in town planning and to some extent following the New Urbanism concept from the US except that the design influences are European.

  • Six delegates sit down in good humour at the annual Party Conference of 1993 at Blackpool during the premiership of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. In the centre of frame a lady is sitting on her partner's lap, holding her security pass and wearing a chintzy royal blue ball gown. The male friend is holding her around the waist with both hands and they chat with a third person on the end. Behind the lady in blue are three other people, one of whom is inspecting her cleavage to the surprise of another lady who is staring wide-eyed down at the lady's bosoms. It is a humorous, ridiculous scene at a formal political function
