THE EMPIRE STRIKES OUT: ENGLISH FAR-RIGHT DEFEATS THE UNION!

By Jock Mulligan The United Kingdom, once held together with spit, stubbornness, and a fair bit of historical coercion, is unraveling faster than a cheap Penny’s January Sales jumper. And it’s not some foreign agitator or a few angry Celts doing the pulling; no, it’s the very heart of the thing, the English political establishment, […]

Scottish Independence: Freedom for ALL of the British Isles

By Gael. A Beacon in the Storm: Why a Fair Scottish Republic is a Shield Against the Rising Tide ​The air in these islands is thick with a disquieting hum, a low, guttural growl that speaks of fear, division, and a retreat into the suffocating embrace of a narrow, exclusionary nationalism. We hear it from […]

The Poisoned Tongue versus the Collective Will

By Jock Mulligan Allow me to introduce old Bricriu Nemthenga, or Bricriu Poison-Tongue. He’s a character from the Ulster Cycle of Irish mythology, particularly famous in the tale of Fled Bricrenn (Bricriu’s Feast).

One of the bigger sticking points for the undecided […]

Left Recompostion CAN’T Include Red Brownism…

Although Daphne Lawless is in New Zealand, every word of this is familiar as the British left makes its moves to grind together again… My bottom line on Left recomposition is that I’ve found out, by experience, that there are a hell of a lot of people who call themselves Socialist who are reprehensible human […]

The Burden of Privilege: Why Greta Thunberg is a Model, Not a Hypocrite.

By Karen Orr ​The jungle is a cruel, magnificent teacher. You see an orangutan, born with the strength and protection of a dominant mother, and you expect her to simply feast on the ripest fruit and rest in the highest canopy. But what if she uses her safe position to warn the whole troupe of […]

Who radicalised poverty?

By Indybag  The Thatcherite and subsequent right wing political project that began in 1979 has had a singular, brutal goal: to crush the working class. This wasn’t some unfortunate byproduct of economic change; it was a deliberate, ideological war on the very fabric of communities, on people’s livelihoods, and on their collective power. The right […]

A Prick in America- Episode 12 – Finale: Trump’s Comeuppance..? The “Late USA” Show… – Ungagged!

The last of (the current) story of our previous Royal Corespondent, who has expanded into reporting many other areas; especially as here on Ungagged we are anti-monarichists! Anyhoo, what becomes of Prick and what plans do the gang have for the BHC06. If we did trailers you’d know all this already but we don’t. So […]
