Unicorns became a important symbol during the Brexit era , protesters used them as a metaphor for untruths and fantasies , this particular inflatable unicorn features in my State Of Britain series twice !
You could be forgiven for thinking this pic must be a set up but you would be mistaken , the bloke at the back end of the unicorn is not looking for Boris’s £350 NHS millions as the picture suggests , he is actually trying to fix a well placed puncture during a anti- Brexit protest in London , the comedic value of this “Unfortunate Accident” was not wasted on me , one mans puncture became another mans photo opportunity …
Brexit divisions still remain in the UK as the State Of Britain series ages gracefully , these pictures are becoming increasingly significant during these chaotic , uncertain times , time does strange things to photographs , in a good way …
I make no apologies for writing such a short blog today , some pictures don’t need too many words …
Did the weekly £350 million to the NHS ever turn up or was it just a fantasy ?
Don’t mention “Inflation” !
