Five years of a billboard at the end of Milton Street, Abbeyhill, Edinburgh 2010-2015

Billboard, Spring Gardens, Edinburgh, January 2nd, in the year of poverty, 2015

Billboard, Spring Gardens, January 2nd, 2015

This is a year when they'll tell us things are cheap
But prices these days put us zero hour workers down to sleep.
What happened to the rights those Tolpuddle Martyrs won ?
Its like the freezing of our sun.
Tell me, how can the profiteers face themselves and grin ?
