By Indybag Fascists are in Government in Germany. Allow that to sink in. Fascists are rallying in the UK- their conferences are attracting big business. Fascists are sporadically rampaging through our city streets. The left need to help fight back. Socialism is LESS likely- and will be a very dangerous outlook to have – in […]
James Orr is a far right, Class Warrior for the rich. John Medhurst traces his career. Because the UK’s fearless media probably won’t report much on this guy beyond that James Orr is/was “Farage’s chief policy advisor”, which is to say Reform’s Head of Policy, and that he liked the sound of easy cash that […]
The quote attributed to Mark Twain ‘History does not repeat itself but it often rhymes’ allows us to see the parallels between the 60’s and 70s and today but accept and analyse the differences. We can rewrite history. We have to. On the day that Glasgow Film Theatre showed the 2019 Rock against Racism documentary […]

Racist scumbags rioting, burning homes & wrecking their own communities (Not the brightest. Obviously.) For most of this year I’ve been […]
By Indybag For people who run about the place raising flegs with so called christian crosses, Reform, Raise the Flag, Restore and the various capital R right wing groups seem to miss out massive chunks of the Bible that cut right through modern digital noise. Long before billionaires bought up social media networks and right-wing […]
By Sam Hamad By voting SNP today, or Green in the English local elections, or our comrades in Plaid Cymru in Wales, you’re voting against everything the sordid, filthy, pathetic Labour Party stand for. Here’s a quick rundown of Labour’s record of shame: Supported the Tory Hard Brexit Stifled any progressive conversation on rejoining the […]
It wasn’t quite the reaction I expected to my comment; So, Thatcher’s deid at last. The polite response that evening of 8th April 2013 could be summed up by a gently dismissive nod and patronising grimace. It told me what I already knew, that the death of this elderly person in the advanced […]
By Damien Donnelly Tory/Reform No-Show… Almost exactly ten years ago (March 2016), I attended the first ever ‘LGBTI+ hustings’ for Scottish Parliament elections in Edinburgh.
