It’s been a busy week here at SSY towers.

Cairn energy: the worst oil company you've never heard of
At Climate Camp last week our main target was the Royal Bank of Scotland for it’s part in bankrolling climate change, but a secondary one was Edinburgh based Cairn Energy.

Anti-fascist strategies tested in Bradford
We’ve previously covered the run-up to last weekend’s English Defence League march in Bradford. Despite a successful campaign to have the government ban the march, it was always clear that the EDL would come anyway.
