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.

The strange case of the anti-abortion knobhead and her racist chums

Nadine Dorries is the Tory MP for Mid Bedfordshire. She’s a corrupt liar. She’s one of the greatest threats to reproductive rights in the UK through her attempts to get parliament to reduce the term limit for abortion. And she also exploits the very real problem of stalking and abuse to try and avoid criticism [...]

Some of them are among the most powerful satirical statements of our time, like the way they absolutely nailed Mel [...]

Cameron, retreat, the youth control the streets!

. . .at least on Saturday we did for a bit. While opposition to the cuts hasn’t got as cool in Scotland as it is in France yet, this weekend saw an important beginning for a mass movement to defeat the Tories and Lib Dems with an all-Scotland march organised by the Scottish Trade Unions [...]

Paul O'Grady advocates socialist revolution

Almost. Paul O’Grady recently used his primetime slot on Channel 4 to call the coalition government ‘bastards’ and speak out against the ideologically motivated Tory/Lib Dem cuts. Good on him for pointing out how disgusting it is that the Tories and Lib Dems sat in Westminster jeering every time another devastating cut was announced by [...]
