After thirty years in prison for murder

[topum]

I need work Mr Cameron, not homelessness.



My name is Kevin, I am from Scotland. I live in a hostel and have 20 days until I am homeless. I need a job. My art is all I have to give.



This guy served 30 years in prison for murder. He says he was innocent.

Trafalgar Square, London

Served means he worked there or was a prisoner?

[topum.livejournal.com]

The latter.

30yrs..He must have had a bad lawyer. 

Not sure how the legal system works in the UK though. 

He's a pretty good artist though.  Surely they have some job he can do..painting the Queen's castle or the Parliment building or something.

He probably won't be painting the Queen's palace anytime soon. There is his twitter account in the second picture but I don't think he is very active there.

I don't do twitter..I have a twitter somewhere but I have used it rarely and I forgot my password to it.  I just never understood the whole tweeting thing - I mean tweeting is something the birds do outside my window in the morning at 430-5am loudly. Then the crows get going with the cawing.  Then my cat jumps on me and meows loud in my ear.  Then I mumble at him that it's too early to which he meows louder. 

Dude should illustrate a tarot deck and sell it online.

Ha ha. I am not twitter either but you can read without being on it. Every now and then someone sends me a link to twitter.

Does he know Cameron's not in charge anymore?

I took these photos when he still was.

Must be a tough experience - to see how the world changed from 1996. He had TV, of course, but still...

And the hardest thing would be to take your life under control and show initiative - after these years spent under total control of others and with initiative punishable.

Many people in his situation chose Chaplin´s solution from "Modern times" - to commit some crime and "come back home" - to prison again.

Thirty years is a bloody long time. I wasn't born yet when he got jailed.

Well, yes, I wrote 1996, but it´s bloody 1986. And I was already born by that time, and the human species was already enjoying my company for some time...
