Fight Cuts at the Ballot Box and in the Streets
Polls opened this morning and votes are currently being cast in the Scottish Parliamentary election. As #2 candidate on the Scottish Socialist Party‘s Glasgow Regional List, I should be out at the polling stations, desperately trying to convince voters to put an ‘X’ beside Scotland’s only party of independence, socialism and internationalism. The bogging weather [...]

The Free Hetherington is Invincible
Some of this info may be duplicating what you already know from Liam T‘s recent post (his 100th on this blog btw!) but I reckon this is a story worth telling several times, kinda like how the Bible has like 4 Gospels or something. A better edit of this article will appear in the next [...]

Basque movement confirms peaceful stance
? Representatives of ETA, the armed wing of the Basque independence movement, yesterday issued a permanent ceasefire annoucement. This represents a clear message, calling an end to the movement’s decades-long armed struggle. Today’s pledge follows on from September’s commitment to pursuing independence through non-violent means, as blogged about by Jack. Incredibly, the response of the [...]

New Palestinian Youth Movement: Go Go GYBO!
Gaza Youth Breaks Out this week achieved the massive honour of becoming my favourite facebook page, nipping in just ahead of The Guy Who Looks Like A Thumb and I HATE IT WHEN U R SOoOoO STEAMIN & U DON’T REMEMBER WEE LADS U BUCKED. They’ve already been condemned as an arm of the international [...]

Anti-cuts focus on Disability & Housing Benefit
After the recent student rebellion against the ConDem attacks on education, the anti-cuts movement is now recognised as a force to be reckoned with. This site has led the way in reports and analysis of this new movement, which I consider to be as significant as 2003′s opposition to the invasion of Iraq. As recently [...]

Obama is everything
Apart from the SSY blog, the internet has very few useful functions. One of them however, is the autocomplete function when you type stuff into Google. If you type “is obama”, the top results are: a muslim anti british a freemason the antichrist a good president american a christian related to bush jewish a socialist [...]

SSY = busy busy worker bees
I spent last weekend up in the metropolis of Menie and its near neighbour, a wee place called Aberdeen. It may be a 7-hour round trip and it may cost £26.50 (!!!?!) just for a single ticket on the bus from the ‘Deen back to Gleska; but it was worth it for the 2 great [...]

Raising awareness of Spain's brutality
3-2. Another game, another glorious failure for Scotland’s national football team. Losing bravely seems to be what we do best. Well, some of the time at least. The less said about the recent dismal defeat in Prague, the better. Of course there is no shame in losing by such a narrow margin to the reigning [...]
