Scottish Anti-Fascists, Unite!

By Indybag Fascists are in Government in Germany. Allow that to sink in. Fascists are rallying in the UK- their conferences are attracting big business. Fascists are sporadically rampaging through our city streets. The left need to help fight back. Socialism is LESS likely- and will be a very dangerous outlook to have – in […]

Farage’s Toff: James Orr- fund raiser for the far right.

Labour’s Latest Mistake: Stop Banning Journalists

Democracy is on it’s deathbed. By our Political Correspondent. The impulse to silence dissent is becoming a fixture of our political culture.

THE REFORM CHEAT SHEET

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 […]

Take Back Control: How Farage is Fooling Us.

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.
