St Clements used to be a psychiatric hospital. I created this commemorative plinth and placed it in the cemetery off the site where some patients were buried, their graves unmarked. People were touched enough by it to leave flowers, stones, leaves and sticks to show their love too.

Weds was an interesting day. I enjoyed the beauty of North Norfolk but I also delivered SHAME to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's home. The police did question me, but let me go.

On Nov 3rd, myself, Joy Dove and other activist declared the DWP HQ building in London a crime scene. I also dressed up as the devil to ‘congratulate’ the workers coming in and out for their cruel and evil work. Just simply protesting that life is not a cost to cut.
