By our Education Correspondent. When summer ends, its time for inservices… another meeting, another PowerPoint. The senior management team stands at the front of the staff room, clicking through slides filled with “inspirational” Brene Brown quotes about daring to lead and leaning into vulnerability.

Stop the conspiracies – Israel is bad enough
By Sam Hamad Israel is provably and demonstrably a state of genocide, occupation, expansion, mass rape, mass torture, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, slaughter and ultra-chauvinism. There’s like a million actual things the Israeli entity has done, and is literally doing as I speak, that one could use to prove all this stuff, if it needed any […]
The Far Right are Heading to Arbroath… So Are We.
By Dave Coull I have only just learned there’s a fascist march through ARBROATH planned for this Saturday, 20th June. They claim there have been multiple rapes by “illegal immigrants” in the town.

Hidden Belfast
By Peter McColl The name ‘Belfast’ is an anglicised form of Béal Feirste, which means ‘the crossing of the River Farset’. The river after which the city is named isn’t one that many people have seen. It’s buried under the High Street, in a culvert,. And that’s appropriate, because much of what Belfast is about […]
Aspire to the Belfast of the 1790s, not our Awful Sectarian History

No Irish.” Don’t repeat that. The ruling class always need a scapegoat. Yesterday it was the Irish, Catholics, Mods, Pakistanis, single mothers, “benefit […]
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.

Blair is a piece of sh*t…
By Sam Hamad I can’t stand any aspect of Labour, but Tony Blair is such a particular and outstanding cunt. It’s not just that he had to get his cunt nose involved with the Gaza genocide, namely through Trump’s pro-Israel ethnic cleansing embezzlement vehicle known as the “Board of Peace”, or that he advocated that […]
Farage’s Choice Morsels- “Christians,” and Gossiping Liars…
