Left voices, unfiltered, unedited, Ungagged.
The obstacles to our independence are not all about media-led rabid unionism, or floating voters. We have a problem within the movement, something really toxic. It resembles a kind of auto-immune disease, a drive to eat away at the host and make barren the soil it depends on; the movement itself. The dreaded anniversary of […]
Every waking day (and not all of them ARE at my age and in my health) its another fucking thing, and I’m always ready for a murder, sex scandal, thieving tory, gagged and bound sex slave MP or insanity of some sort. Some days it can be, “Look over there… the Right Honourable is fucking […]
