Love or Hate some of the characters for this new presentation, the images are extremely funny!

Heroes and Villains is a unique collaboration between the caricaturist Gerald Scarfe and the National Portrait Gallery. Images of well-known figures, selected from the National Portrait Gallery's collections, are juxtaposed with caricatures of the sitters by Scarfe.
The talk with the aid of a slideshow, will include short essays by celebrities, writers and experts championing the sitter as hero or villain.
Joanna Lumley, Ian Rankin, Simon Schama, Stephen Bayley, Mo Mowlam and Melvyn Bragg are just a few of the public figures who argue their views for and against subjects as wide ranging as Henry VIII, Oswald Mosley, Virginia Woolf, the Beatles, Margaret Thatcher and many more...

I have created five parts with five subjects for each 'eclectic' event.

Part three
Princess Diana: Former wife of Prince Charles
Tracey Emin: Artist
King Henry Vlll
Isaac Newton: Mathematician & Scientist
Emmeline Pankhurst: Suffragette

Just for fun, afterwards, we will again have our own VOTE!

To attend in the first instance RSVP. You do not need a Zoom account. But to stop Zoom bombers (persons hijacking the event - doing weird things). All you have to do is click on the location link and enter the meeting password: 589990 - Please log in around 5 minutes before it starts.

We have a form of etiquette, for example when you first enter the 'meeting room' you will be muted, I will unmute you as we start. However, when you are not speaking it is recommended that you mute yourself - this is so that others do not get a lot of background noise.

So that we can have unlimited time I pay to use Zoom. In order to cover my cost including Meetup subscriptions, may I request a small donation say £1 - however this is not expected as such.
If you can please paypal me (no fees) by clicking the link:

Why not have a virtual drink together too - glass of wine or beer - Coffee 'n' Cake ;)

Stay safe :)
