Indybag: “A Modern-Day Scot’s Guide to Not Being a Muppet on the Internet“ So, you’ve finally realised that the corporate behemoths fucking hate you, but want your money and have an unending appetite for your personal data. Good fer you. You’ve heard the whispers about Signal, the one-horse race for privacy in the digital age- […]
The drums of xenophobia beat ever louder, a monotonous, hollow rhythm designed to stir up the basest fears of the British public. The demagogues, with their stale rhetoric of “taking back control” and “stopping the boats,” paint a picture of a nation under siege, a land being overrun by a faceless, foreign horde. They speak […]
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 […]
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.

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 […]
Taking Back Pride – No Pride In Genocide By Sophie Molly Grampian Pride 2025 was a local revolution of queers taking back the streets of Aberdeen. Several radical left wing groups came together in solidarity to take Pride back to it’s radical Stonewall roots. Ohhh, we did it in style – would of brought a […]
At the root of it all, you’ve allowed yourself to be persuaded down the rabbit hole marked ‘Gateway to Fascism’. There’s no easy way to say this and it’s no real surprise, but we’re way past the ‘sleepwalking’ stage and we’re now galloping towards fascism. The horrors of arms to Israel, deportations, the rise of […]
