By Indybag For people who run about the place raising flegs with so called christian crosses, Reform, Raise the Flag, Restore and the various capital R right wing groups seem to miss out massive chunks of the Bible that cut right through modern digital noise. Long before billionaires bought up social media networks and right-wing […]
By Neil Scott I took this of the brilliant activist Violet Fox 11 years ago- I recorded an interview with Violet for a podcast. This was a time I was doing my bit to widen the SSP’s contact with important activism across Scotland- support without controlling- something I admired about the idea of the SSP- […]
This was the best Glasgow May Day I have ever been to and I’ve been to quite a few and been part of Glasgow Trades Council Exec for a good number of years. A wee bit of extra walking at the moment as George Sq is being refurbished where the march has started ‘for ever’, […]

Therapy, in a way. Seeing someone else’s grief, and understanding we aren’t alone. As someone who grew up surrounded by […]
a book review by Jock Mulligan. Éist now, for at the time of writing I’ve been sat here in the house with the rain lashing against the busted double glazing and the wind howling like a banshee. In the boredom of the dreadful spring weather, I smaoinigh-ed on what was happening in America as the […]
