TFL are supporting an arts project titled ‘Uncommon Observations: Photography, Image-making, and the Black Diaspora’ which claims that photography is ‘rooted in colonial notions and has been used for power, control and subjugation’
The project, run by US born black feminist Nydia Swaby, aims to ‘expand critical and diverse thought that will decolonise and disrupt euro-centric art and creative education’ whatever the fuck that means.

The good news is that it’s a free online course, so commuters can enjoy it gratis.
I think I’ll just read the phone directory instead.

What nonsense. I was raised on photographs of dusky maidens in National Geographic. Later on I progressed to photos of dusky maidens in Colour Climax and Big Juggs. Never did me any harm.

Fucking rubbish.’ Cos I is black, innit’ is lazy and exploitative and doesnt examine the reasons for black underachievement and criminality.
22
Well put Cunstable.

I heard that was all whitey’s fault anyway; denying black people’s rights to invent antibiotics, lifesaving medical procedures, cars, telephones, hadron colliders, aeroplanes, electron microscopes, machines of all kinds, Viagra. Stuff like that.
7
It would have to be free, wouldn’t it? Who’s going to pay good money for such bollocks?
Anyway, what’s that on her head, the monkey entrails she’s going to cook for tea?
20
Nah. She’s going to eat them raw.
15
It seems to me, this fat tarts bowels have only one exit.
7
Don’t take there pictures you will steal their souls.
Makes a change from them stealing our wallets.
18
This is quite fantastic.
A bankrupt organisation paying for a foreign lunatic to talk absolute bollocks for a month.
Why did she allow her photo to be taken using a racist camera?
Did she swim here or use a racist aircraft?
Will she be happy to take racist payments for her “work”?
This mad cunt can piggyback on the achievements of western civilisation quite comfortably it seems whilst attempting to spread racial victimhood lies.
Money well spent.
CUNTS.
21
Good shout by the way MM.

It’s quite well known that Leica, Haselblad, Nikon, Olympus, Carl Zeiss and Bausch and Lomb are all African companies.

She used a large dinghy Unk

Where there can be found ‘racism’ there is gold.
The good thing is that people are sick and tired of hearing about ‘Muh raciss n sheet’, so the impact of being told daily that I (an English, middle-aged white man) is rrrrrraciss to the core, is slowly diminishing.
A serious point, you don’t see many ethnic Chinese people making statements about ‘white man bad’ and how we are all racist. A question – why is the narrative pushed hardest (by some margin) by the ‘people of colour’. Few Asians carp on about it too, although many of them are ‘people of colour’ by virtue of their skin tone?
Innit, fam?
12
She seems nice?
Shy though.
Camera shy.
I’d say to her
“Ey up big lass!
I like yer funny hat.
Makes yer head look less fat.”
Cheer her up like.
Then to cement the friendship I’d offer her a banana🍌
Have her eating out of the palm of my hand.
I make friends very easily.

Here’s Kenya’s page 3 girl.

What I find most shocking about that image is she’s got a receding hairline?
Like a pub carpet isn’t it?
10
It’s for efficient consumption of spit roasted grubs. Just line the cooked delicacies up on the plate and the lass tips her head back.
No need for a knife and fork.
7
Looks like a convoluted hat to me.
2
Aye a brave chap could rest his sack on that plate.

When growing up, their mothers reaction of “we’ll have less of your lip my girl” obviously didn’t work.
13
I always thought we men were the ones to give these girls a good old plating ? You must also stand well back if you’ve upset them, their bottom lip begins to quiver and can do you some mischief.
7
Fackin’ ‘ell Miserable; you’ve just driven the horn section to a state of sexual hysteria!
10
Hi Ron,
Each time I pass your reaction, I piss myself.
4
Handy when you want to put your cigarette out mis.

Fucking hell, she’s a looker. Bet her snap her up quick as she won’t be on the shelf for long!

Before take-off, all trays must be stowed in upright position, and Jugs washed and disinfected.
On a lighter note, Martin Loofah King’s descendents ha e accused USA wokies of virtue-signalling, re the statue in Boston that apparently looks like a schlong…

Is the picture called “Money For Old Rope” ?
8
Nah! A monkey with old rope. Will easily sell if she sticks it on Ebay.
7
More black bollocks, there must be departments in large organisations who are tasked with finding the best black bollocks to inflict on their employees and general public.
Someone at TFL has got an extra gold star for this one.
We should be celebrating everything White, how great it is to be white, white is great, white has been a force for good, there isn’t enough white. White Magic!
13
Feminist?? A bit outdated isn’t she??
I hope the cunt gets a wasp nest in her hair.
6
I might register to the course to get my Student Loans card. Cheers!

Admin, what have you done to Lord Fiddler? Must have turned a right sicky, since the earlier Nom. You know how delicate some of us are. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

I remember growing up hearing a singer called Blossom Dearie. Anyone?

She/that looks like it’s about to drop it’s guts without scruples or consideration for those around her.
That’s cultural appropriation. That’s our thing since King Alfred blamed burnt cakes or the dog for his meaty ale bombs.
6
A bit off topic but equally infuriating.
SLY NEWS and BBC interrogating the CHURCH OF ENGLAND because some clergy oppose LGBGT freaks in the church.
Why don’t they get the Muzzie council of great britain on so we can see their position on Gays and Lezzers. Try getting into any mosque if you admit to being a Tutti Frutti.
6
Come now Fenton, you know that’s not going to happen. It’s a cultural thing isn’t it? Like blacks stabbing one another.

Can you imagine taking the old tabby with lip plate out in a convertible or on a motorcycle, she’d beat herself to death inside a mile.

Or do an Isadora Duncan….

The world’s gone blooming mad on this bullshit.
I bought a Lego Duplo set as a present for a toddler – opened it and guess what? The two figures inside were black! Lego is Danish I think. Just Googled it and 2% of people are black. On that basis the female figure just needed black nail varnish to be proportional.
7
Be rest assured there won’t be any golliwog’s for sale anywhere.
4
Tipp-ex is cheap these days mikdys, obviously the toddler won’t understand if you said the figures are serving time at his majesty’s pleasure.

‘Afro-Futurism as Archival Practice’.
A title guaranteed to pack ’em in.
Afternoon all.

PS;
has something shat from a great height on that bird Swaby’s head?
9
Yes, another bird without a sphincter.

She’d be handy if you ever needed your car towing.

Racism Racism Racism everywhere.
Even photography is guilty now it would appear.
What this requires, is a thorough and non bias investigation, carried out by David Olusoga and Rio Ferdinand. With further endorsement of baseless racist allegations from none other than Lily Allen.
Fucking idiots.

I’m a photographers dream.
What with having two good sides.
They never told me to say cheese,
I was already posing for the money shot😁
But I can understand shyness if like that big black girl above your always going to look like a NHS warning poster.
Can’t polish a turd after all.
Maybe dim lighting and gauze over the lens would help?
6
Lens cap on / lens cap off-same photo….
5
Vaseline does the trick. Or just leave the lens cap on?

Speaking of being a photographer’s dream (not to mention being the object of my most depraved fantasies)…

I feel that this nom is a severe punishment for my Kate Winslet-based activities earlier.

“Mummy-why has that funny lady got a lot of rope on her head? Is she making a rope swing?”
“Shhhhhhh! keep walking, don’t turn around, NO don’t stare!”

I always remember my son when a little tot on the bus and a black bloke sat further behind us.
My lad had never seen one before,
We don’t allow them into the family,
And he said loudly
“Dad, dad, look at him!”
And pointed straight at the black bloke.
The whole bus laughed,
Accept the black bloke.
Moody fucker.
9
That must’ve been some time ago, Mis.
I played spot the white man with my kids in Bury and that must be close to 40 years back.
5
Be nigh on 30 year ago.
The innocence of small children eh?
Happier, simpler times.
When you could mock fellow travelers on public transport.

The thing is, if you give n*gnogs money it’s the same as a puppy chasing a bus. If it managed to catch it, the stupid creature wouldn’t know what to do with it. It’s the same principle. S*mbo has no inclination to achieve any form of social climbing unless it’s to the top of the banana tree. They are happy to sit back and blame the honky for all of their lack of success when in reality they don’t want it. They like to be subdued.

Subdue her using a cricket bat

Ever the alien facehugger didn’t fancy locking lips with that monstrosity,it said fuck it I’m staying up top.

Poor me…….poor me………pour me another glass of whitey’s champagne while I hoover up his colonial guilt money.
🎵 whining nine to five, what a way to make a living. 🎵

These ungrateful cunts don’t know when they’re well off!
interesting how they always bang on about the “homeland” but never actually fuck off back there to solve home-grown problems with the government and local corruption which has absolutely nothing to do with Britain or colonialism.
Instead, they just give lip-service to the motherland, and instead stay here in relative safety where there’s plenty of money to claim while at the same time spouting race-baiting bullshit with the full protection of the media.
11
These cunts have had the whip hand over the white man since at least 1988 – and still they want more!
… “expand critical and diverse thought that will decolonise and disrupt euro-centric art and creative education.”
My arse!
Some subhumans are never satisfied. 😡

Whenever I see these race baiting motherfuckers I am wishing a Slasha Johnson situation on them. Poor old Slasha…..one of the great ironies of the 21st century.
So far.

Stick your arts project where it hurts Nydia.
