Stop marching to the fascist beat: Scotland NEEDS immigration.

​The drums of xenophobia beat ever louder, a monotonous, hollow rhythm designed to stir up the basest fears of the British public. The demagogues, with their stale rhetoric of “taking back control” and “stopping the boats,” paint a picture of a nation under siege, a land being overrun by a faceless, foreign horde. They speak […]

Nicola’s Interesting Times by Val Waldron

The backdrop to all of it is laid out very starkly in the first paragraphs. The Nicola Sturgeon story is essentially drenched in personal, familial and societal struggles for hitherto denied opportunities, justice and equality. The Patriarchy will never reach out to feel the truth of this from a woman with a working-class background. Nicola […]

We Are Many, You Are Few by Val Waldron

 Starmer is either in denial, or too desperate to realise that the US could be his enemy, even while Trump gladly clutches his hastily thrown State Visit voucher, as an ape would a placatory banana. At least Macron is embracing the possibility of life without the US as an ally, while Starmer’s invisible friend, the […]

School Toilet Bullies For Women Scotland.

By Josie Hervey According to “For Women” Scotland, schools “face a Sandie Peggie-style legal dispute” over single-sex spaces. If you wanted proof of their bad faith, look no further.

What Do We Want, How Do We Want It?

 Opinion polls ask the wrong question, in an attempt to grade importance of issues, vying austerity, foreign affairs etc against independence. This approach fails to illustrate that a progressive independent Scotland, with all of our (suddenly recognised and exploited) resources could go some way towards addressing these issues.

The Dave Coull Column: Elon Musk- Con-man.

Elon Musk is possibly THE richest billionaire on Earth, certainly one of the richest. This isn’t an “achievement” to be proud of, he’s just some parasite who happened to be born filthy rich, who never “invented” anything, but who managed to con other folk out of THEIR big ideas. Musk was born to an extremely […]
