Left voices, unfiltered, unedited, Ungagged.
Fucking tech bros; those billionaires who read a bit of sci-fi and think they’re building the future, when really, they’re just building bigger cages. It’s enough to make me fucking spit, for sure. Fucking megalomaniacs, the lot. You have your Musks and your Bezoses, don’t you? Raving about Iain M. Banks’ Culture series and how […]
By Jock Mulligan Andor is a fine piece of work, a real look at the grim reality of the whole damn thing. It’s not your usual space opera with a few lads waving light-sticks; this is the story of how the working-class and the oppressed had enough of the boot on their neck. It’s got […]
Medicine for men has ignored millions of women in Scotland for hundreds of years, says Karen Orr. A woman’s place in society has been a perpetual struggle, and for far too long, that struggle has been compounded by a willful ignorance of a natural biological process: menopause. The medical establishment and corporate world, products of […]
Review: Jock Mulligan Ten Days that Shook the World, by John Reed. Reds, Directed by Warren Beatty. A fine tale, John Reed tells- one we need to watch nowadays- one that shows the spirit and fire of revolution before Stalin murdered its youth. I’d’ve had a pint with Reed, no doubt, even with him being […]
Yes campaign lessons… by Neil Scott What we knew about Kirkintilloch in 2011-14, was that it was a majority Yes for Independence town. Other towns in East Dunbartonshire- Bearsden, Milngavie, Torrance, Lenzie, Bishopbriggs- we weren’t so confident of. After our Yes group was split because of vituperative, entitled, monied Yessers trying to buy off the […]
The backdrop to all of it is laid out very starkly in the first paragraphs. The Nicola Sturgeon story is essentially drenched in personal, familial and societal struggles for hitherto denied opportunities, justice and equality. The Patriarchy will never reach out to feel the truth of this from a woman with a working-class background. Nicola […]
Folks involved in the Radical Independence Campaign have been having some discussions relating to our attitudes towards the Scottish Parliament elections in May 2026, including (because it’s a supposedly “new” factor) the “left” party being set up by Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana, its implications for Scotland, for Scottish self-determination, and for RIC. Corbyn was, […]
Neil Scott on the Musk, Zuckerberg et al threat to truth… When I was on holiday, I went on a cycling trip with a number of other holiday makers. Two of them were teachers from the USA. They were lovely, funny, decent. Both enjoyed travel, both got on with everyone on the trip. Both, it […]
No, says Neil Scott. The Corbyn project/party is a split in a London based party (new New new Labour) built around a London based interim leadership. It has become necessary because of a shift in politics that has spiralled out of the control of liberals in England. “Nationalist” capital, via Farage’s empty vessel, has radicalised […]
By Indybag The Scottish Left coming together is both premature, and to this Indy-lefty, a failure.There have been rumblings of a new vehicle for the ex-Rise and the SWP rump over the past few months, with meetings, cries and whispers. The whispers have been so slight that they included only themselves, and a tiny group […]
