Last word from an old bastard
Last week I turned 27, so I’m now too old to be a member of SSY or to post on this blog. I’m making a small infringement of the rules to get my last word before I leave it to a new generation to carry on the work of keeping this site fresh and interesting. [...]

Here's a bunch of awful things we're totally going to ACTUALLY do
WARNING: THE FOLLOWING POST CONTAINS MENACING ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS Paul Chambers is a man who has suffered one of the worst reactions to a joke of all time. Back in January, sitting cold in South Yorkshire’s Robin Hood airport (no, it’s not a joke, it really is called that), he was frustrated that his flight had [...]

In case you ever doubted the legal system is sexist…
. . .here’s the proof. (Trigger warning.) A woman from Powys in Wales has been jailed after being raped by her abusive husband. The reason? Because under huge pressure from him and his family, she at one point retracted the allegations. In November last year she made a 999 call to report that her husband [...]

Kanye West apologises for the best thing he's ever done
Kanye West yet again has done something inexplicable, by apologising for pretty much the best thing he’s ever done: slagging George W. Bush on live TV. You might remember from 5 years ago the moment that broke from the script in a televised charity ‘give-money-cos-the-government-can’t-be-arsed-athon’, to declare “George Bush doesn’t care about black people.” But [...]

This a long awaited report from one of the Basque comrades who visited SSY and back in August. A comrade from Askapena (the Basque internationalist and solidarity group), tells us a bit about how they found Scotland: “Last august, 4 of Askapena’s brigadists were in Scotland. After many years of organising similar trips to Ireland, [...]

Welcome to Warner Bros. presents The Shire, formerly known as New Zealand
In an absolutely astonishing move, the government of Aotearoa/New Zealand has decided to rush through emergency anti-trade union laws in order to appease the Warner Brothers movie studio, and keep the filming of ‘The Hobbit’ in New Zealand. In the words of opposition politicians, the country has been reduced to the “client state” of an [...]

Shut down the tax dodgers on Saturday
Dear Vodafone, Re- Unpaid overdue taxes totalling £6 billion. THIS IS YOUR FINAL WARNING. ACTION WILL COMMENCE WITHOUT FURTHER CORRESPONDENCE.
