Indybag: Stop giving our streets over to stupid

I took a walk through Glasgow’s Maryhill area earlier today. Storm Amy had brought down a few trees, some older than my grandads da’, and a few black bins and rubble were in places they shouldn’t be. And many of the flags- the ones the racists put up- the beautiful Inclusive saltires that had been […]

Comment: New Scottish Lefty Party, Anyone..?

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.
