DOON wi CORRUPT RULING CLASS DICTATORSHIP !!! By Dave Coull When some of us first heard aboot the idea of a non-party-political referendum on Scottish independence, we liked the sound of this; thinking, because of not being party-political, it could get a FAR higher turnout than any petty election of politicians ever could get. Working […]
“It’s nice, isn’t it? The quiet.” These words, written by a Starmer fan in mid-July, sound delusional now. But as Owen Jones says, they were what Starmer himself and his colleagues expected. “The Starmerite theory of power went like this: Britain’s problems were largely explained by a lack of leadership qualities at the top. Sir […]
September 2014 we were full of hope. Last trip to a pre-referendum rally in George square, and Folk, full of enthusiasm and certainty that Yes would take the vote, hugging and shaking hands, politely ushering strangers to the stage for a good view. Then a ripple down my spine, a reminder that this is a […]
Opinion polls ask the wrong question, in an attempt to grade importance of issues, vying austerity, foreign affairs etc against independence. This approach fails to illustrate that a progressive independent Scotland, with all of our (suddenly recognised and exploited) resources could go some way towards addressing these issues. It’s hard to forego a little nostalgia […]

By Neil Scott The SNP needs to be better. The SNP has to be more “SSP.” Hear me out. I have sleepless nights over the genocide in Gaza. I see no real solution coming about until Israel changes as a result of our collective actions, our collective push in the way YEARS of boycotting and […]
Elon Musk is possibly THE richest billionaire on Earth, certainly one of the richest. This isn’t an “achievement” to be proud of, he’s just some parasite who happened to be born filthy rich, who never “invented” anything, but who managed to con other folk out of THEIR big ideas. Musk was born to an extremely […]
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 […]

This is my initial analysis: “I’ve now had a bit of sleep and seen enough of the detail of results to form some observations from an SNP Left perspective: 1) given the disastrous starting background to the election for us the core SNP vote actually stood up pretty well at 30% – this wasn’t an […]
