  • Wearing a long beard of a strict Musilm, Anjem Choudary is a deputy and main UK spokesman of the Islamist group al-Muhajiroun whose leader, Omar Bakri Mohammad is a radical who caused controversy after the London attacks of July 2007, declaring that the only people he blames for the bombings are the government and British public. Choudary, a lawyer by profession, stands outside in the street in Leyton, north-east London England. There are few people in the background but Choudary commands much respect among activists in the UK.

  • Local Peckham shoppers stop to read the spontaneous messages of love on the Poundland peace wall after the London riots. In response to the violence and destruction that took place the week before, communities reacted with anger in a way rarely seen in a large UK city these days. The messages vary in their sentiment but generally echo a sense of disgust at the looting and rioting with brief notes of co-operation, advice and communal encouragement. Walls like these have sprung up in other locations where destruction was widespread and locals lost their convenience stores, sports shops and even homes.

  • A long-distance lorry is parked at the Sainsbury's 700,000 sq ft (57,500sq m) supermarket warehouse and distribution depot at Waltham Point London England. With round wheels echoing the circles of oranges, long-distance vehicles depart every two minutes, 24 hours a day, 364 days a year to 80 UK stores and handling 2.5m supermarket cases a week. Transporting refrigerated perishable foodstuffs, these lorries are ever-present on the nation's motorways and A roads, plying back and forth to re-supply the supermarkets. Food orders are conveyed with sorter systems that group products together, ordering them to favour the layout of specific stores, optimising how the shelves are stacked..
