SPOT THE TORY GRIFT Don’t be fooled by the cyan tie. Reform UK is just a “recycled” Tory party designed to sneak the same old rot back into Holyrood. Here is the reality. 1. THE TEAM SHEET (Follow the Bloodline) Reform isn’t a new movement. It is a shell company for ex-Tories who can’t get […]
How Reform Hides Behind Your Phone Screen By Indybag The shift in politics from loudhailers on the town square to the private screen in your pocket is the biggest tactical move we’ve seen in years. For Reform UK, this isn’t just a preference. It is a survival -and perhaps a winning- strategy. By bypassing the […]
In 2014- THEY Lied. By Neil Scott A Facebook memory slid onto my timeline from April 2014. A headline before the Independence Referendum of September that year. A headline many of us seized on to show where Westminster had brought us to. It feels like a memory from a lost age, a time when we […]
By Damien Donnelly Tory/Reform No-Show… Almost exactly ten years ago (March 2016), I attended the first ever ‘LGBTI+ hustings’ for Scottish Parliament elections in Edinburgh. It was at this event that Nicola Sturgeon stated the SNP’s intention to reform gender recognition in Scotland, including recognition of non-binary identities. The legalisation of same-sex marriage was just […]
By Jock Mulligan. A Prince has fallen and the name of a PM caught in a threesome with Epstein and Maxwell has been redacted. It tip of an iceberg of a scandal… In comparison, another child rape scandal is rarely spoken about. Its only nine years since the business of Sir Edward Heath and the […]
I’ve sat in draughty community halls from Easterhouse to Maryhill for thirty years, and I’ve seen some shit in my time. I’ve seen the “vanguard” cults try to hijack local strikes and the middle-class “missionaries” come into our schemes to lecture us on solidarity before jumping into a taxi back to their Bearsden bungalows and […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
