Iām searching for the original and/or rights owner of this fabulous picture of Birmingham in the early 1970s. It popped up on my Instagram feed, but Iāve been unable to track it down. Any leads? Iām really hoping to use it in a book. (And would much appreciate a RT please)

I have literally just written 'blah blah blah something about stable file formats' in the document I'm working on. This is indicative of my day and possibly an indication that it's almost home time! (Tbf it's also highlighted in yellow as a placeholder for me to amend at a later stage).

The Green Party has been consistent on our position. We support the Iranian people in their struggle against the brutal Regime. And we oppose illegal bombing from the USA and Israel that has already killed countless civilians and risks an all out Regional war.
