Joe Magee worked as a digital illustrator for the Daily Telegraph, Britain's largest right-wing newspaper, for eight years. Occasionally, he'd hide little braille messages in his artwork. Messages like "Sweat of the Workers" and "Thatcher Fu*ked Us". He managed to get quite a few out before they spotted him.

I don't get it, are the white dots the text or something?

The man says "I've been putting braille messages into the images"... so... yes.
