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 […]
By Sam Hamad Israel is provably and demonstrably a state of genocide, occupation, expansion, mass rape, mass torture, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, slaughter and ultra-chauvinism. There’s like a million actual things the Israeli entity has done, and is literally doing as I speak, that one could use to prove all this stuff, if it needed any […]
By Peter McColl The name ‘Belfast’ is an anglicised form of Béal Feirste, which means ‘the crossing of the River Farset’. The river after which the city is named isn’t one that many people have seen.

It’s not just that he had to get his cunt nose involved with the Gaza genocide, namely through Trump’s pro-Israel ethnic cleansing embezzlement vehicle known as the “Board of Peace”, or that he advocated that […]
The political entity currently known as Reform UK presents itself as a radical departure from the established order, yet a closer inspection reveals it to be a rebranding of the most regressive elements of British political history. It is the ideological heir to the hard-right Thatcherism of the 1980s and the exclusionary nationalism of Enoch […]
