🚨 NEW POLL!

A new poll out today has the Scottish Greens doubling our MSPs and overtaking both Labour and the Tories in the Scottish Parliament.

This May we can bring about the green change that Scotland badly needs.

A Colombian congresswoman who supports Trump denounces her son’s arrest by ICE: β€˜He has been chained up for 20 days’ Ángela Vergara calls for β€œintervention” by Gustavo Petro’s government to speed up repatriation flights while facing criticism for her ideological closeness to the Republican candidate

This is the thing about people who support xenophobes, racist, and authoritarian type leaders.

They know that some groups will suffer but they just don’t care - until it’s one of them

Yet history tells us, fascist authoritarian leaders always go after everyone eventually

I don’t feel British or English even tho I’m technically both. You have no say over where you’re born, many forces kids were born abroad on postings for example. My known ancestors came here mostly from France as Normans & Huguenots. I could easily have been French. Why must I feel any nationality?

"I say! Are you Georgina?"
The child in the opposite bed sat up and looked across at Anne. She had very short
curly hair, almost as short as a boy's. Her face was burnt a dark-brown with the sun, and
β€œFamous Five 01 - Five On A Treasure Island” By Enid Blyton 7
her very blue eyes looked as bright as forget-me-nots in her face. But her mouth was
rather sulky, and she had a frown like her father's.
"No," she said. "I'm not Georgina."
"Oh!" said Anne, in surprise. "Then who are you?"
"I'm George," said the girl. "I shall only answer if you call me George. I hate being a girl.
I won't be. I don't like doing the things that girls do. I like doing the things that boys do. I
can climb better than any boy, and swim faster too. I can sail a boat as well as any
fisher-boy on this coast. You're to call me George. Then I'll speak to you. But I shan't if
you don't."
"Oh!" said Anne, thinking that her new cousin was most extraordinary. "All right! I don't
care what I call you. George is a nice name, I think. I don't much like Georgina. Anyway,
you look like a boy."

To give you an idea of how deranged the UK has become about gender stuff, here's Enid Blyton - the absolute avatar of classic English conservatism and a huge fan of racist "gollywogs" - casually describing a gender non-conforming kid in the 1940s and having their friends be totally cool with it.

Jim Ratcliffe and the art of shamelessness Immigrant billionaire owner of Manchester United condemns immigrants – just the poor ones, though

This week on Bylines Scotland...

"Manchester United’s squad currently includes 19 foreign players out of 26 – that’s 73.1% β€˜immigrants’, according to Transfermarkt. But apparently those immigrants don’t count. They’re assets. Investments. Tradable commodities. Certainly not immigrants!"

Why are Scottish schools still using Twitter when the site was used to create deepfake sexual images of children? Why is the Scottish government permitting this? Why are councils permitting this? Why are teachers permitting this? If you care about the safety of children get off that site right now.

An image of the Statue of Liberty with the text: β€œExtremists are pushing anti-voter policies nationwide.”

An image of the Statue of Liberty with the text: β€œExtremists are pushing anti-voter policies nationwide.”

The "Save America Act" is voter suppression dressed up as patriotism.

It targets: women who have changed their name, naturalized citizens, trans Americans, tribal citizens, & disaster victims w/ extra barriers and costs to vote.

That’s anti-democracy.

The Scottish Government have sat on their hands while cruel and abusive conversion practices continue in Scotland.

We've repeatedly pushed the SNP to ban conversion practices, but they have failed LGBTQ+ people time after time.

Every time we jump in a car for a journey which can be covered on foot or on public transport, we are feeding the massive machine of oil addiction.

Europe is really hardly less addicted to the car, including the UK.

I still think it would be worth contacting your local delivery office as that’s where the local posties are based. Easy for me to say as my delivery office is a 15 min walk away. Maybe you could get your councillor to rattle their cage?

Welcome to the UK where a right wing academic seeks to defend a man who wrote:

'Head for the hotels housing them and burn them to the ground.'

By describing that incitement as "anti immigration"

Last month, I requested an urgent meeting with the Justice Secretary to discuss their wellbeing.

He has now officially declined my request.
