My work office is not something I've given a second thought to since we were all told to stay at home.
It's simple, nothing much on the walls, usual 'how was your evening' chatter. The daily exercise I used to get was to the printer room along a small 20 odd foot corridor.
The little block was used by the sport department, some of the dissertation posters are stuck up on the walls. Chinese kids in various handstand positions, a commentary on the communist approach to gymnastics and the Olympics, Lance Armstrong with the slogan 'winning is everything', A Coca Cola poster decrying the corporate sponsorship of World Cups, a poster of front covers of health magazines scantily clad ladies and men with lots of abs. Also there's the iconic image of David Roland.
I saw the image again today online, the man pictured 31 years ago, head in his hands, advertising boards all around him, crying into his scarf. I recognised the poster on my first day to be from that fateful day, now 31 years ago. Today it was doing the rounds because Davids family announced he passed away from Covid 19.
David managed to survive state failings 31 years ago only to survive until more state failings led to his life ending aged just 65. I'm sure you've all had a mammoth chat with the usual people bootlicking Boris and his mates and the same people calling out the BS and lies (and probably a conspiracy theory or two).
There'll be chat and discussion after this thing is over (and I'm praying it does end sooner rather than later) but I'm hoping there's lots of chat about people being held to account.
Hoping those who sacrificed their lives are recognised for serving while those in charge lied and shat on them.
