We were somewhere around Watford on the edge of up North when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like, “I need a shit… the bowels are at last engaging… maybe you should drive…” And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of lorry tractors […]
Racial Justice
Almost Anyone But Malky by Luke Campbell
“There have been plenty of the regular names touted for the manager’s post and a handful of unexpected options, yet none of the others carry the same political and social baggage of Mackay.” As many have noted, Robbie Neilson’s departure as Dundee United manager in mid-June 2020 didn’t cause much trouble amongst our fan base. […]
‘We’re Not That Kind of Club’: Football, Fascism, and THAT Banner
By Luke Campbell _______________________________ ● “We’re ashamed. We are embarrassed that our name was in [the message], that they tried to attach it to our club – it doesn’t belong anywhere near our club.” – Ben Mee (Burnley F.C. Captain) On Monday night, some fans of the English Premier League side Burnley Football Club had […]
The Blame Train
“It’s time to stop the Tutting and the eye-rolling at our neighbours. Let’s be vigilant about where we lay our blame” There’s a muckle great steam train thundering down the track and it’s aflame with blame for all the health, environmental and economic ills, caused by the Pandemic, Lockdown and Lockdown breaches. Simmering under that, […]
Acknowledging the Big Picture
Sounds odd to state something so obvious, yet I feel there are some out there in the world who may need reminding. Racism is lightyears more horrific than vandalism in every way imaginable. Smashed goods do not compare to the level of misery and pain inflicted upon those oppressed by a society built to favour […]
Black Lives Matter
writes: Today (Sunday 7/6/2020) will see Black Lives matter demonstrations in Scotland. I have tried to convince Back Lives Matter activists to move away from doing physical protests and to go online. Although they all have listened and have taken on board what we’ve said – one of the events did move online – the […]
Harry and Meghan – the Venous Cannula into the Putrid Corpse of the Monarchy
My body has become addicted to the St Mary’s Hospital A&E, and the Rehabilitation ward. The amount of lumps poked, prodded and cut from my body could be shaped and animated and actually be one of the septic bastards making up the newly returned Tory Government. Thanks to Ungagged, as I lie here with a […]
Christmas Borders…

Let this be your antidote. Help us continue to podcast, publish and campaign… a few quid keeps […]
Inertia to the Left of me Zombies to the Right
As Halloween approaches and Johnson’s ditch digging bulldozer is nowhere in sight, nor is his Brexit, it seems that the joke is still on us all the same. It looks like the Brexit debacle will run and run. It has been extensively analysed, but with the permutations and possibilities that could lead to a selection […]
A Spoonful of Blood
A Spoonful of Blood I don’t want to repeat the bile spewed from the mouth of the rogue PM, following his unrepentant return to Parliament after the unlawful proroguing. We all heard it. It’s not the first time we’ve heard it, and it seems that every utterance from the pick of Westminster’s most depraved and […]
