Who is to blame - a photo on Flickriver

Who is to blame

            Unposed candid eye contact  street shot taken yesterday in Electric Avenue, Brixton, London, of an apparently homeless woman. 

In the 1880s, Electric Avenue was one of the first streets in London to be illuminated by electric lighting in what became an elegant shopping street,. However, it is now grotty and down-at-heel, with a decidedly edgy feel - even in broad daylight.

Brixton is infamous for the riots there in the early 1980s. Singer Eddy Grant wrote a song about them, referencing the poverty and inequality that led to the anger rising in the streets:

".... Who is to blame in one country
Never can get to the one
Dealin' in multiplication
And they still can't feed everyone
Oh, we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher..." (Eddy Grant)
