At the root of it all, you’ve allowed yourself to be persuaded down the rabbit hole marked ‘Gateway to Fascism’. There’s no easy way to say this and it’s no real surprise, but we’re way past the ‘sleepwalking’ stage and we’re now galloping towards fascism. The horrors of arms to Israel, deportations, the rise of […]

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. Our children – all of them – need to be safe in schools. Pretending that only people assumed to have a penis can be guilty of […]
Section 2A: The Legacy
‘The head will be too afraid to back us because of Section 28’. ‘But that was repealed over a decade ago.’ ‘Aye, but…’ This was the first time Section 28/2A had been raised at my work and it was in conversation sparked by a parental complaint about one of my colleagues using the work of […]

The Fundamentalist Path to Electoral Oblivion
I find myself at somewhat of a loose end at the moment in light of the 2024 General Election results. We lost every single one of our central belt seats – the region that in recent years our support was strongest, and there needs to be some accounting done in light of this. I’m of […]
Tears, Fears and Electioneers…
by Damien Donnelly While I’m well used to elections being preceded by a period of desperate on-the-hoof policy, from all sides, this coming UK general election seems especially to have thrown into stark relief how low we have sunk as a country.

Good Riddance
Neil Scott on Theresa May’s last speech in the Commons. I’ve just watched as Theresa May made her last speech in Westminster (and Harriet Harman… and what a contrast… i’d urge you to find them on YouTube). May’s narrative in her speech was one of hard work and of ambition- with barbed comments against those […]
