Lowry lights, art & enlightenment versus greed & consumerism...
Opposite the wonderful Lowry Centre and outside the dire Lowry Outlet Mall, two white trees herald the advent of the year's darkest days...
And they will be dark days indeed for tens of thousands of British families who will be dependent on foodbanks this Christmas, thanks to the coalition government's cuts and support of the ultra wealthy instead. Homelessness too has risen - by 34% since 2010 - with government welfare cuts to blame, says a new report (Joseph Rowntree Foundation / Crisis).

ReplyDeleteAn amazing display and lovely to look at.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful lights, but the same is happening to our programs too - many people will be going hungry I'm afraid. It's awful.
