Jobs are to go, vital services are to be cut, education is on the verge of only being available to those who can pay for it. Yep that’s situation right now in the whole country. Every working class citizen in Scotland is going to feel the impact of the cuts the worst and Aberdeen has announced [...]

Fascism not welcome in Aberdeen!

 Over the past few months there has been a worrying growth in fascist activity in Aberdeen. The National Front have been distributing their racist propaganda to several secondary schools in Aberdeen in which they blame immigrants and Muslims for all of the country’s problems. As an anti-fascist I find this rather worrying as they are handing out [...]

Trump is a knobhead part II

Sorry for the delay folks!….. On the 9th of October, in the deepest, darkest Menie there was a collective hate for a certain knob head as hundreds of anti-Trump protesters gathered to show their great discontent towards the American tycoon. Trump thinks that it is ok to evict people out of their homes for his own [...]

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 [...]

Flunk Trump this weekend

Billionaire vandal and all round dick Donald Trump has controversially been awarded an honorary degree by Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen.

I'm back from Suffragette City!

And it was, as the song goes, outta sight! Although starting late, the event was fantastic – it was really inspiring to see a number of diverse groups pull together and put on a show, explain what it is they stand for and begin to build a support network with each other. The night consisted [...]

The neoliberal parties have no answer on poverty and inequality

This evening I was at a ‘question time’  hustings at Aberdeen College, with an audience of around 100 social science students and staff, as well as student representatives from Aberdeen’s universities and the NUS. It was only the second event of that kind that I had ever done, and it was the first time I [...]

Aberdeen SSP Campaign Launched

The whole of Scotland can breath a sign of relief, as the wait it finally over: the SSP campaign for Aberdeen North is about to get underway. Onlookers can look forward to a banging leaflet, a YouTube video of candidate Ewan Robertson (i.e., me) singing his heart out for socialism and ripping all the main [...]

BNP: not welcome in Aberdeen. Not welcome anywhere.

Last week, the BNP triumphantly announced that they’d put up their first ever billboard in Scotland, in Aberdeen. This was the first of three planned in the North East - the area of the country where they’re concentrating most of their resources, particularly following the fall-out which has fractured the party in Glasgow. Their candidate in Aberdeen [...]
