Tonight has underlined that Scotland’s racism problem (protesting against conditions for asylum seekers) is absolutely bound up in *loyalism, anti-Irish racism and anti-catholic bigotry* Civic institutions have AT BEST ignored this, if not pandered to it for decades.

the video of 100 orcs singing the famine song isn't the real problem for me. the problem is the vast swathes of "polite" Scottish society who pretend this isn't an issue, hasn't been going on for hundreds of years and is of no harm to the Irish and Irish diaspora in our nation.

Sadly it’s a bold move for Yes voters to speak in support of Corbyn led gvt at WM bc the indy movement has arseholes who will call people like Stella “plants”. Stella is a real socialist, not an actress or stooge. There are 1000s like her, ignore/disparage them at your peril.
In 2014, Stella voted Yes because she believed it would bring hope and transformation to her community.
Next month, Stella is voting Labour because only a Labour government will end austerity, ban zero-hour contracts and scrap Universal Credit.
When Labour wins, Scotland wins.

No. What is deeply unpleasant is that a mishandling of a procedure and subsequent politicking has potentially destroyed faith in measures for women to come forward at report sexual harassment at work. The first minister is not a victim here.
What strikes me as deeply unpleasant about the Nicola Sturgeon / Alex Salmond situation is that the possible consequence of a powerful man who Sturgeon says acted "deeply inappropriately" towards women could be the destruction of a woman's political career.

This is a proxy war where western governments will just allow the bloodshed to continue rather than enter into negotiated peace talks or settlements.
The only victors of prolonged war will be arms companies and the most reactionary state actors.
Ukraine is fighting a just, defensive war of liberation against a murderous invasion launched by a kleptocratic, chauvinist, far right autocracy.
There’s nothing left wing about allowing nations to be conquered and subjugated by oppressors.

This is just not independence. The SNP leadership want to break from Westminster but then allow foreign policy to be dictated by NATO? It’s a form of elite internationalism, driven by post-neoliberal ideologues. NATO membership, EU membership, BoE running currency. What a sham.
