CHANGE YOUR LIGHTBULBS OR DIE, YOU SICK BASTARD!

The 10:10 campaign, which urges people to make changes to their lifestyle in order to cut their carbon emissions by 10%, has got themselves into a bit of trouble. They commissioned a short film to promote their campaign, but yesterday were forced to pull it almost as soon as they’d released it after they realised [...]

Red Ed? Don't think so.

After the most vicious battle between two brothers since Van Damme vs Van Damme in Double Impact, the victor for Labour leader has finally been declared.

At the same time, hundreds of idiots wreaked havoc across the internet, using websites as diverse as [...]

The Mighty Mighty Climate Camp

I’ve just returned from 5 days of occupying the land of the Royal Bank of Scotland, a piece of direct action that yesterday successfully achieved its objective of shutting down RBS’ headquarters. On Monday when we looked across at the building we could see there was nobody working there apart from cops and security guards. [...]

We smashed the banks – no, really, we did.

Some of SSY’s roving reporters are back to civilisation to give YOU all the latest news from climate camp… After an epic amount of pushing, we stormed RBS headquarters this afternoon. Delicious molasses bombs were thrown, windows were smashed and there was a lot of scuffling with the police. Bear in mind that today was [...]

Climate camp is going down: get there!

A few of us SSYers are about to head over to head over to Edinburgh to take part in the camp for climate action. If you’re reading this and can make it, get there! The camp took their site last night, at Gogar Station Road, right next to the Royal Bank of Scotland global headquarters! [...]
