By Neil Scott I took this of the brilliant activist Violet Fox 11 years ago- I recorded an interview with Violet for a podcast. This was a time I was doing my bit to widen the SSP’s contact with important activism across Scotland- support without controlling- something I admired about the idea of the SSP- […]
The political entity currently known as Reform UK presents itself as a radical departure from the established order, yet a closer inspection reveals it to be a rebranding of the most regressive elements of British political history. It is the ideological heir to the hard-right Thatcherism of the 1980s and the exclusionary nationalism of Enoch […]
